I guess somebody noted this before, and probably talked about it here, but I just noted it recently. Don’t you think “Gimme gimme shock treatment” is very similar to ON? I’m not a musician but I can bet there’s a part in both songs that have the same musical notes.

The same way of playing solo guitar (it had to be Per of course!!!!) but despite the chorus on Gimme Gimme being a bit nice and cool....i still think ON is from the start to the end a lot better and stronger...
I don’t agree when ppl say it’s a dancy tune. It’s groovy but not a pure dance disco song. It’s more substacial than that. It’s more very roxettish to me, great melody, great guitar riffs, nice drum beat but never a true dance song ... otherwise Dangerous and The Big L. would also be dance tunes like ON and we have been shown that when kicked LIVE these songs are power rock pop songs....I am looking fowards to seeing one day Roxette performing ON live ...it’s gonna be a mad momento for me...he he...get out of the way the Ferrari is passing by at full speed and ain’t gonna stop....that’s ON for me....energy and high speed lol

It could be because in both songs “Shooting Star” does the Programing.
Anyway, I love ON and RS (Shooting Star treatment)
