"Maria" is a song by the American band Blondie, taken from their 1999 album ''No Exit''. This song was Blondie's comeback single, their first since "War Child" in July 1982. The song peaked at number eighty two on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally, the song topped the charts in the United Kingdom, becoming the band's sixth chart-topping song in that country. It also peaked within the top ten of the charts in Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Sweden and Switzerland.〔 ==Overview== The song was written by the band's keyboardist Jimmy Destri, who had also penned some of their earlier hits such as "Atomic". In the US, the single reached number 14 on the Adult Top 40 listing, although it stalled at No. 82 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. In the UK the single was released as a two CD set, the first containing remixes of "Maria", and the second containing live versions of "Screaming Skin" (a track from their ''No Exit'' album) and their very first hit single "In the Flesh" both recorded during No Exit Tour. The line "...like a millionaire/walking on imported air" was used in a previous Blondie song, "Walk Like Me" (also written by Destri), from the album ''Autoamerican'' (1980). The music video for the song was directed by Alan Smithee. The song was included on the 2014 compilation album ''Greatest Hits Deluxe Redux''. The compilation was part of a 2-disc set called ''Blondie 4(0) Ever'' which included their 10th studio album ''Ghosts of Download'' and marked the 40th anniversary of the forming of the band. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maria (Blondie song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
