很多人认识Blondie都是通过这首1998年的热门电影”There’s Something About Mary (1998)“插曲”Maria”吧,这个队名的来源——主唱Deborah Harry在这首歌的MTV中出现时吓了我一跳,居然还像70年代Blondie大红大紫的时候一样的明艳照人啊(要知道在70年代这个金发女郎可是有这和Marilyn Monroe一样的性感号召力的)。。。不过岁月的威力是任何凡人无法抵挡的,Deborah的嗓音明显要“苍劲”的多了,但是这一点恰恰有别于当时泛滥的Mariah Carey/Cellin Dion之流形成了鲜明的对比,尤其是对于没有听过Blondie、Petti Smith这些朋克女声的90年代人来说真是不同寻常。这首歌的歌词也很有意思,值得好好品味。。。


Maria
by Blondie

She moves like she don’t care.
Smooth as silk, cool as air.
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry.
She doesn’t know your name
and your heart beats like a subway train.
Ooh, it makes you wanna die.
Ooh, don’t you wanna take her?
Wanna make her all your own?
Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Medina.
Ave Maria.
A million and one candlelights.
I’ve seen this thing before.
In my best friend and the boy next door.
Fool for love and fool of fire.
Won’t come in from the rain.
Sees oceans running down the drain.
Blue as ice and desire.
Don’t you wanna make her?
Ooh, don’t you wanna take her home?
Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Regina.
Ave Maria.
A million and one candlelights.
Ooh, don’t you wanna break her?
Ooh, don’t you wanna take her home?
She walks like she don’t care.
You wanna take her everywhere.
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry.
She’s like a millionaire.
Walking on imported air.
Ooh, it makes you wanna die.
Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Medina.
Ave Maria.
A million and one candlelights.
Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Regina.
Ave Maria.
A million and one candlelights.
Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Regina.
Ave Maria.
A million and one candlelights.
Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Regina.
Ave Maria.
A million and one candlelights.
