Roxette: "Joyride" (For Benjamin)

Hot Tamale Pearson and Cold Fish Huizer are not stealing a car this week, but we are nevertheless taking you on a "Joyride!" Inspired by a sweet love note from songwriter (and vocalist) Per Gessle, "Joyride" represents Roxette at their peak powers: Per’s lyrically surprising verses, Marie Fredriksson’s powerhouse chorus, and a video for the ages. No wonder its namesake album is one of the best selling in Germany’s history. Special thanks to Benjamin for recommending this one. (Sorry it took us so long!) Links Note: We found out after the recording of this episode that there are two different versions of the video. We've included both links below: Original Video Updated Remastered Video Thank you for listening! Connect with us on Instagram, Facebook, etc., or send us an email at [email protected]!
