Maria (Green Day song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maria is the first track on Green Day's International Superhits! compilation. Two versions of the song exist. The first was released on the Adeline Records vinyl single for "Waiting" and does not include the "interview" sound clip at the beginning. The music is almost identical.
The second version was recorded for the Superhits! compilation and at the beginning, a woman's voice can be heard saying: "Billie Joe, it certainly is exciting to meet you here at the recording studio right after you've just made your very first record. How does it feel?" followed by a response from 5-year-old Billie Joe[1]: "Mmm... wonderful!" According to Marc Spitz's 2006 book Nobody Likes You: Inside the Turbulent Life and Times of Green Day, this voiceover is taken from Billie Joe Armstrong's first single, "Look for Love," the B-side of which features an interview in which the above exchange occurred.
The lyrics of the song are about a rebellious and politically opinionated woman named Maria.
