“Real Sugar” puppets turn out to be real rockers
Written by Lars-Erik_Olson on May 12, 2001 to Video.
When Per, answering a question from The Daily Roxette, said that the “Real Sugar” video would feature puppets, many of our readers weren’t quite sure what to make of that. The concept could either be really great… or just plain stupid.
“We’re using puppets,” Per told our Visa Kopu at a press conference in Helsinki. “Marie and I are the only real people in the video. We have a puppet band looking like The Ramones. The video starts with two puppets watching ’The Centre Of The Heart’ video on TV.”
We’re pleased to report that director Jesper Hiro’s concept worked out well, as you can perhaps see for yourself in the publicity photo below obtained from EMI Sweden.

Oh fabio, *sigh*
The Ramones were the biggest punk Rock band on history (yes for me, better than Sex pistols) and one of Per´s most loved bands

Aside from the puppets, which are very fun... it’s true the eighties are back!! Their clothes are very circa 1980’s and its spreading. Everyone in the city where I live is starting to wear the stripy t-shirts, the wide belts... I wouldn’t have noticed except I remember owning these clothes and I’m not that old!
