Sharing a birthday with the likes of the gorgeous Sakis Rouvas, Jane Wyman, Robert Duvall, Bradley Cooper, DJ Deadmau5, Umberto Eco, Vinnie Jones, Marilyn Manson and Diane Keaton, the legendary co-founder of Blondie Mr Chris Stein is 70 years old today!
Gulp.
To mark this prestigious occasion, here's the band's surprise comeback #1 hit from 1999 - a full seventeen years after they had last charted in the UK...
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?
Ooh, wanna make her all your own?
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and fool on fire
Won't come in from the rain
She's 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
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
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
Walkin' on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Many happy returns, Christopher Stein (born 5th January 1950)

I imagine he wishes he were ageless - I fear, however, that isn't the case any more... Jx
