Hi there,

BBC Top Gear (a big UK programme that reviews cars etc) is looking to find the ultimate driving song.

Would be great if we could all vote for a Rox song...

Personally I have gone for SIMC - I love it to drive to, but vote for whatever - I think if they get a load of Roxette nominations they may be likely to say something on air...

cheers, OWID

I’ve voted! Yeah, let’s all vote for SIMC... it might then get nominated :-) Nice one... Rich

Voted for SIMC too!

BTW SIMC = “Sleeping in my car” for the clueless wonders!

coolio!

btw for those of you that can watch BBC2 - and enjoy car programmes (!) (luckily coming from a sports car PR background I do) Top Gear is on BBC2 on Sundays at 8pm methinks.

I prefer ’[I love the sound of] crashing guitars’ but to support you I’ll vote SIMC :-)

Mmm... Top gear was on BBC prime last night tho... not that i bothered watching it!!

onlywhenidream said on May 25, 2005 11:44:

well to be honest I think that they are more likely to mention songs that have been released itn he UK - and whilst I would love to have nominated She Doesn’t Live here Anymore (and understand why you would want to vote for ILTSOCG) ...I decided for SIMC cos it was a relatively big it in the UK. but thanks for the support...MJ :o)

I prefer Madonna’s “Cherish” to drive. It’s just fun! My nicest driving memories are listening to that song on a rainy day in a mountain road... soooooo cooooool. I love it :D

I’ve voted SIMC to!!

Clarkson likes Roxette (if its him that picks the music) as some Rox tunes have been on Top Gear and related programmes b4.

I personaly love the programme LOL and SIMC would be a good choice, it has to be a song that makes you ’put your foot down’ every time you hear it in your car. ;)

wouldnt JOYRIDE be better to vote ?!

ally77 said on May 25, 2005 20:02:

I would have said Joyride... but I’ll go with the rest of you and vote SIMC! :)

rox-kuryliw said on May 25, 2005 21:06:

ye i did that also ally

Santi said on May 25, 2005 21:40:

So Roxattack is back?

OK I’ll vote for it too :P (But I also prefer Joyride from Roxette for driving.

By the way, I like TopGear also ;)

harriej said on May 25, 2005 22:21:

The best driving related songs of roxette are off course:
- Sleeping in My Car
- Joyride

I’ll be a deviant and admit I voted for Cocteau Twins - Cherry-Coloured Funk. ;)

jluis said on May 26, 2005 12:53:

The best one for me (coming from Per) would be: Ande i en flaska

i’ve already seen an episode of top gear (roughly 5/6 years ago) & simc was played.

Rich-UK said on May 26, 2005 19:05:

“Love Is All” was playing when I saw Top Gear last... thankfully the driver did not fall asleep :S Rich

sunnshy said on May 26, 2005 20:57:

When will we get the results???

Erik said on June 5, 2005 12:37:

KEEP ME WAITING!!! It probably sound pathetic, but every time I take my car somewhere, that song goes on =P

onlywhenidream said on June 6, 2005 07:45:

@auryte - guess we will knoe the results at the end of the series - not sure when that is yet...will keep you posted.

AURYTE said on June 6, 2005 11:30:

@ onlywhenidream: :)
By the way, I’ve voted for Sleeping In My Car. Though I really hate driving...

brentnewtown said on June 6, 2005 12:32:

done!!!
just to drag up the topic

onlywhenidream said on June 6, 2005 14:45:

thanks to everyone - and just to say, whilst I also think that Joyride would have been a great song to vote for also, for me SIMC would have been the best..or even 7twenty7 or SDLHA for a driving song.

Thanks and keep up the voting. x

onlywhenidream said on June 13, 2005 07:43:

this is the final chance to vote - at the moment Meatloaf is at the top fo the chart - with a Bat out of Hell. Roxette wre not in the top 5 or so...but they didn’t show the whole list. Keep on voting... cheers

Vixzter said on June 13, 2005 18:52:

I don’t care what wins aslong as its not MeatLoaf! and they all said the same on the programme LOL
