Few time ago I heard some bit (unfortunately not the whole song) of “Joyride” in a different version (different to the album version I mean) which on the chorus has Marie doing backing-vocals to Per (you know, like in the unplugged take or like they usually do it when performing the song live, with Per and Marie singing alternately hello/hello, you fool/you fool, I love you/I love you). Anyone who knows and can tell me which version of “Joyride” this one is? Thanx already!

“Hello (hello), you fool (you fool), I love you (I love you), c’mon join the joyride...”

That’s from MTV Unplugged. Also, if you listen carefully on the album version, you can only just hear the same “echoes” in the chorus (not the first chorus though).

Hope this helps. :)

Versions of “Joyride” :
- Album version
- Magicfriends 12”mix
- AC #1
- AC #2
- Live from Tourism
- Unplugged
The one you’re refering to is an AC mix.

And 7” version of course.

Well, it wasn’t the unplugged one, of that I’m sure. :) Anyways it was just a studio-sounding version, rather normal, let’s say, and in all the rest, of what I can remember of it, pretty much the same as the album version in fact. Yet, the chorus parts... Don’t know, it just sounded somewhat different... (As I said above, more like alternate singing - As in the unplugged version, yes. Or the live one from Johannesburg 1995, for instance. With Per leading the lines, and Marie kinda responding, if I can describe it this way? -, rather than that “echoing” effect it has on the album version...) Hmm... AC mix, you say, s-czopek?... Hmm... (Well, or then perhaps it’s even only some self-made edit of the song, by the radio station, and which is confusing me all along, who knows?... After all, they do have one of LTYH... Perhaps of “Joyride” also?... Well, perhaps, it’s even that...)

BTW isn’t there also a US remix of it?... :)
