Still don’t know why they didn’t release this one as a single. Supercatchy, happy, summer, sun,... could be a major hit.
C’mon Roxette, release this !!!!

blah why release a cheesy demo to radio they woulda been laughed off the charts

There’s nothing demo-ish about that song! In fact, I consider it one of the best tracks on HAND!
And during 1999 the song was played quite often on Swedish radio. It’s got some witty lyrics!

its so rinky tinky the synths the production it sounds just like a demo or a really BAD white hip hop song LOL its the worse thing on hand i woudl have rathered center fo the heart on hand than this

Demo sound or not, this song, together with a flashy videoclip, could make it to the top of the charts. No-one can resist it.

It sounds very 80’s, I find some kind of depeche mode’style on it, one of my favs too

Yeah, Pay The Price rules, far the best song on the album, one of the greatest Roxette-songs ever.

i never liked this song. in fact i think happy together should have been included instead of this one. the main problem with HAND is that the so-called uptempo songs are not . and YCPYAAWAG is a case in point. we´re left with COY and STARS which are the greatest. 727 sucks and pay the price is not big deal. maybe if they had included more powerful songs, the album would have done better.

pay the price not a big deal? cummon man wiuth a really kick ass performance video and removing pers little vocal solo in the radio version ti would abeen another hit

@tavo: Funny you should say that... I think “7Twenty7” and “Stars” are fantastic and “Happy Together” is the worst song they’ve ever recorded (-:

i really like YCPYAAWAG, i find myself listening to it alot whenever HAND is in my cd player. Don’t know about it being a single, but still a good song.
I totally agree with coyboyusa about pay the price. And you’ve just gotta love that guitar solo.

If you play the guitar solo in Pay The Price backwards, you almost get Sleeping In My Car...
