My fav uptempo song by Roxette has to be “How Do You Do!”, ’coz it’s just so infectious. It just gets me dancin’ and singin’ along to it so easily. I can list so many tracks under this topic, but that’ll take 4ever. That I find the most catchiest. It’s really happy, too. What’s everyone elses fav?

Gee roxettemalin, I almost forgot about that one!! I absolutely love that one! See I can’t think of songs from the top of my head. Too lazy to look up my cd. But that’s great vocals by Marie and Per!!

I always say HDYD! mainly because that was the song that got me hooked on Rox. But other faves would be SIMC, Opportunity Nox, SDLHA, Little Miss Sorrow, Lies, Fireworks. There’s plenty more i’m sure, just can’t think of them right now.

Hi roxers;
my big favourite uptempo from roxette is “Jeffersson” Yeah, Iám gonna pray for Jeffersson, pray for Jeffersson‘s soul....
I remeber 2001 when the album “Room Service” was released, every track from this album was played day by day in the internet. What an exciting time.
Cheers
Christian

I love all uptempo songs from CBB album, the whole album is great. Another killer song that drives me crazy is CRUSH ON YOU, HOW COULD IT HAPPEN THAT THERE WAS NO SINGLE, I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. There are so many other great songs, hard to choose indeed.
Julz said on October 14, 2007 08:18:
Yeah, I agree with you, mate. Why “Crush On You” didn’t make it to a single. That is a brilliant track by Marie!! I used to sing to it all the time, and the rest of their songs.
christian said on October 14, 2007 08:47:
I agree with you, too. “Crush on you” were much more sucessfull than “Wish I could fly”. Iàm a Zombie in the moonlight, Iám sleeping when it‘s daylight...
Cheers

Crush On You should have been the first single. Wish I Could Fly second and Stars third. First single must be up tempo song, they are more succesfull. Releasing Anyone after Wish I Could Fly was madness.
My up tempo favs are Something In The System demo and Little Miss Sorrow.

Gosh, abysmo! I went nuts with “Stars” when I first got it! I lived the remixes od ’em. Couldn’t get enough of ’em. I absolutely flogged it!!

I prefer their ballads much more, but if I have to mention some up-tempo songs, my fave are Dangerous, Hotblooded, Come Back (Before You Leave), I Love The Sound Of Crashing Guitars and Do You Wanna Go The Whole Way?

Put Opportunity Nox on loud and floor your car...can’t beat it.

Really hard to pick one favourite, but for the moment...”Things Will Never Be The Same”
I spent so much time listening to the “Tourism” version when it came out that it took me years too rediscover how great the original was. I prefered the acoustic version during the nineties but I definately prefer the original now. Definately one of my top10 Rox songs and another “should’ve been” single (a video would have been killer...actually a full band live version would have kicked ass too!!...or a country version...hell this is just a great song)
Julz said on October 17, 2007 08:47:
Oh my god, Debora!! You keep reminding me of more songs I really love of theirs!! I so love “ILTSOCG” and “DYWGTWW”. I used to never have enough singin’ to those!!

I remember ’Crush On You’ was to be the 5th single from HAND. Pity ’Salvation’ bombed so hard. YCPYAAWAG is also good. So many good uptempo songs.

Make My Head Go Pop!
cause i like the way Per’s voice sounds when he sings the lyrics! and I like the way the music sounds too!

Great song. Modern retro. My favourite from Room Service.

ciao a tutti!!!
questo è il mio primo commento sul TDR!!!! seguo il gruppo dal 1992, anno in cui ho acquistato Tourism: da allora non li ho più mollati!!! La mia canzone preferita è wish i could fly, ma comunque tutte le loro canzoni ed album!!! Ho anche un paio di cd di marie in svedese.
Spero tornino presto con un nuovo album!
ciao da Italia.

Thumbs up for those who like Make My Head Go Pop!
Just a little note to ettexor: You can´t write in Italian (or any other language than English) in Roxette board. If you want to talk in Italian, just open a thread (or maybe there´s already one) in International board.

WICF as a first single was a very good choice, this song definitely had hit potential. But the secodn single really should’ve been COY or 7twenty7...
The best uptempos: Pay The Price, 7twenty7 (why hasn’t anyone mentioned these? They saved HAND album from being average, IMHO), Lies. Great guitar solos in all of them

I can’t name my fave uptempo song - the question is too hard!! lol
Depending on mood: Lies, Opportunity Nox, Paint, Real Sugar, Sleeping In My Car, Hotblooded, Dance Away, Crush On You, One Wish.
See I can’t decide!! lol
roxettemalin said on October 14, 2007 00:43:
Hmm.. It’s hard to just pick one. But I have to say Lies!
