The idea behind this question here is to collect ideas and views from all of you guys, specially those who have always enjoyed the song and those who finally began looking at it differently for the better. So how would you imagine this song if it was ever performed live in an eventual future? I find the song enegertic enough for a cool live performance, despite whether the melody or the lyrics are corny or cheap as so often has been said here...
I can imagine some extended parts specially for the audience to sing a long with Marie and besides the silly funny fuzzy minimog solo part a guitar riff coming from the hands of the one and only Jonas Isacsson. Great fun!

They’d probably need a DJ on stage. Maybe Gessle as DJ. :D
But we know how fond he’s of showing off guitars, so probably we’d spend the whole performance wondering where he plugged it :P
All that, of course, if they plan to make it sound close to the original recording. If they play guitars on it, maybe some people start liking it more.

Nowadays, we consider the bass and the guitar different instruments.

The bass line is more evident intrument on Reveal actually and that creates the moody intropective down to earth feel of the song...
What I like on ON is how this “energetic” vibe comes from the fuzzy minmoog and yes there are some guitar riffs along the way but placed behind the minimog... I still haven’t noticed the bass!
