No Exit

"No Exit" is a song by the American new wave band Blondie. It was the title track from their seventh studio album in 1999 and was released as a single in the U.S. and parts of Europe, but not the U.K..

The song is a fusion of classical, rock and hip-hop, using an interpolation of Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. It features rapper Coolio exchanging raps with Debbie Harry.

The single was released as a special tour souvenir CD. The released CD contains remixes of "No Exit", "Maria", "Nothing Is Real but the Girl" and a cover of Karen Young's 1978 disco hit "Hot Shot". A video was released for one of the "No Exit" remixes, which featured Inspectah Deck, U-God and Mobb Deep instead of Coolio.

The Loud Allstar Rock Remix was featured in the 1999 film 200 Cigarettes.
