Hej
We all did many topics about Roxette songs that we don’t like, but how about the Roxette songs that Per and Marie don’t like ?
I know Per didn’t like Almost Unreal and Fireworks, but are there more ? And how about Marie... she didn’t like The Bg L. in the first moment, right ?
All the best

I have read somewhere that both don’t like How Do You Do very much, though it was very successful everywhere..well, I love it..(-:

How can they not like How do you do! That was the song that made me a Rox Fan :)

Per considers “Almost Unreal” isn’t one of their most inspired moments, even quoting that if somebody would try to make a parody of Roxette it would end up sounding like this !
Marie was suspicious about “Dangerous” and “The Big L” and thinks “How Do You Do!” is one of the weakest singles.

7Twenty7 both don´t like.
Per and Marie told they hate the song, the song is only on the HAND-Album because they think the Album has need the song.

I don’t like that song either! I only like the rocky demo version..yeah..let the guitars bleed...

It makes me a little sad to hear they don’t like 7twenty7, it’s my favourite song on Have a Nice Day album.

I’m wondering how Per AND Marie can dislike the same song!!! Why didn’t they throw away the demo, if both don’t like a song? At least one of them had to vote for a song to put it on a album!!! So I don’t believe messages that both do not like the same song. Maybe they find one stronger and the other one weaker, but that they both don’t like one - NO. Perhaps years later, they don’t like it anymore, but at release date it is impossible! Otherwise I have to call a doctor for them...

Hej
Wow... both don’t like “How Do You Do” ? Oh my, that’s a surprise. That explain why they don’t play this song live, probably ( And I always thought that they didn’t play How Do You Do cause it do not sounds good live).
I have to agree with them... I don’t like 7Twenty7 either.
Any other song ?
All the best

I know that Marie doesn’t like the song, Per somewhere said that he isn’t sure about HDYD..can’t explain that any better..sorry.

I have a translatet version of a HAND-Interview where say told something about every Song.
And about 7Twenty7 they said:
7TWENTY7
MARIE: Das gehört nicht zu meinen Lieblingsstücken.
PER: Es war auch eine Zeitlang runter vom Album. Aber am Schluss haben wir es doch noch dazu genommen. Nennen wir es
Überlebensinstinkt. Muss ja was bedeuten.
MARIE: Volle Lautstärke im Jungenzimmer.
PER: Es ist eine sehr lange Reise zur anderen Seite...
translation in english:
Marie: That is not one of our faves songs.
Per: It was a time away of the Album, but then we have this though do on the album. Called we that survival instinct. Must wich mean.
Marie: Full volume in the boy room.
Per: It is a very long journey to the other side....
Yoy see, they don´t like the song 7twenty7, but it is my fave song anyway.

marie says: it doesn’t belong to MY favourite songs, not OUR favourite songs......
so she doesn’t say that per doesn’t like it....
LittleGirl78 said on May 15, 2003 19:51:
oh sorry sorry. yes japeke is right. Marie say only this not her fave song.
But Per say: they wouldn´t like to do this on the Album.
But they dont tell this by word only Marie told this by word that she don´t like it.

LittleGirl78 said on May 18, 2003 01:16:
I don´t understand why they don´t like Chances and don´t like the videoclib.
I love the videoclib to chances, that is sooooooo funny.

7Twenty7... I love it. One of the best songs from HAND.I like it better than (dare i say it...) Crush on You.
harriej said on May 18, 2003 21:32:
I once heard they didn’t like How Do You Do, but they started playing it again on concerts, because the fans were asking for it all the time.
This shows that Roxette listens to their fans, if you try enough.
rafael said on May 18, 2003 23:34:
on wich concert did they play HDYD??? it was just at the summer joyride concerts.
sunnshy said on May 20, 2003 15:37:
What i know about HDYD is that is a very hard song to performe live, and i think i once read that Marie Doesn’t like dressed for Success, she got tired of singing that song
coyboyusa said on May 20, 2003 16:43:
per and marie said chances was too long a song horrible to perform live so it made it a bad single. As for 727 marie i think was the one who said it was like boys in the mens room or soemthing like that..she also called hdyd a ” weak” single
Kiwein1 said on May 20, 2003 19:33:
I remember a performance from Per and Marie on Top of the Pops in the UK. They sang HDYD and Per’s part was playback, but he too sang LIVE and missed the text (school instead of house). Also, he did not get the melody. I think this was the worst Roxette performance I’ve ever seen. I still ask myself why he tried to sing live when there was a playback. Marie’s part, by the way, was completely LIVE.
Ferdan said on May 15, 2003 05:29:
yep, she didn’t like it.
and about almost unreal, i bet the dislike it only cos it was from mario bros’s flop.
