Roxette

Sadly, her final UK top ten hit, although there are two more charting singles to come from this record.

This is written by Per Gessler of Roxette, you know, the bloke half of Roxette.

Oh, yes,

yes.

Obviously, it's from Pretty Woman, right? It was used in the movie Pretty Woman.

But Roxette to me is the perfect band that blends the late eighties with the early nineties.

They're the perfect like bridge from what we had going on with party time in the eighties to the grunge of the nineties.

And I just, I love their sound.

I love Roxette.

So good.

I've told the story before, but you know that, so this was originally a Christmas song.

And I can't hear this song without seeing everybody's favorite hooker, Julia

Well, I very-

... very vaguely remember this.

Roxette, The Look, is that what it is?

Yeah.

[singing]

It, it, it was filmed, it was filmed with Wendy's-

...

it was filmed with Wendy's broken laptop, which was the best part.

It was, yes, exactly.

W- what, what's, uh, what's, what, what's the band's name that, that do that?

Roxette.

Nobody knows that.

A particularly outrageous one from Prince coming up.

Before we get there, though, Roxette is sleeping single after Starship kicks off the Capitol countdown at 40.

Getting my love in this way All this time you've

been living for the moment It was the sun, but not for me, no It's not enough to tell me you love me It's not enough to tell me that you care If you want my love It's not enough to tell me that you cried.

We're gonna keep you happy, yeah With all the hits and more We're gonna make every minute of your day

We'll be right back.

It's Roxette 39 on the Capitol Countdown from this week in 1989.

The first of two from them on the countdown this morning.
