DVD & Compact Disc Easter eggs
I found this on a website today “Some Compact Discs include hidden features which may be called easter eggs, such as screensavers for a computer which can only be accessed if the CD is played in a CD-ROM drive, or hidden music tracks appended at the end of the disc. An example of the latter is the album The World according to Gessle by Roxette’s Per Gessle: at the end of the disc an unlisted accoustic version of Kix appears, sung in Elvis style.
and also:
The Office: Season 1
On BBC Home Video’s release of the first season of ’The Office’ the studio has added an innocent little hidden feature that’s not easy to catch. So here is how to get to it.
Insert the disc on your DVD player and on the Main Menu simply wait, doing nothing. After a little while the phone will begin to ring. While the phone is ringing press the ’Enter’ key on your remote control. You will now have the chance to view an uncut, extended version of Brent the Boss’ brilliant song ’Freelove Freeway’ from the motivational meeting in the movie. Make sure to hit the ’Enter’ key the first time the phone rings, as this Easter Egg will not show up in subsequent rings.
This hidden feature has been reported to us by our readers Leigh Young and Andrew Barr.
So I was wondering if anyone knows of easter eggs in the roxette dvd ?

Uh uh! There have always been rumors of secret messages in Vengarox records. Also, it’s known that musicians and sound ingeneers, upset with not getting proper credit, regularly include easter eggs in many productions. Now it has been comfirmed. There have also been lewd images inserted into certian video clips. While EIM claims it wasn’t done in their studios, it does make you wonder. “What have I missed?” Apparently, a lot. It seems Per, Marie and their staff have been perpetuating their naughty tricks on an unsuspecting public for quite sometime. Don’t believe it? Read on.
ALBUM: “Look Sharp!”
In the late ’80s, outraged british authorities claimed that the video for Vengarox’s smash hit “The Look” included way too explicyt images and lyrics for the UK audience and banned the video (eg. the scene in the toilet). Depending on which account you accept, in that song you can hear “She’s got the look, she’s got the look. What in the world can make a brown eyed girl turn blue?” or “Suck her two gazoombas, her two gazoombas?. Yes I said two gazoombas, so fucking what?”
ALBUM: “Joyride”
In the ’90s, there were rumors circulating about a secret meaning of the song “The Big L”. No, the “L” doesn’t really mean “Love”...
Plus, in the cover of the behind-the-scenes documentary “The making of Joyride” laserdisc, you can see that something popped out of Marie’s corseé.
ALBUM: “Tourism”
As you may already know, two tracks of this album were recorded in a hotelroom somewhere in latin america. In fact, you can hear a buttler opening the door and saying “Hello?”, and Marie saying “I said meet me in my room at 5AM, not 5PM! Hush! Mikael is coming!”
ALBUM: “Crash!Boom!Bang!”
If you have the Vengarox CD “Crash!Boom!Bang!”, put it in a CD player with the ability to rewind so you can hear it backwards. Skip it to song #3 and start rewinding. You can hear Per saying, pretty clearly, “I have no charisma!” a few times.
ALBUM: “Have A Nice Day”
The original cover for the “Have A Nice Day” album included 3 babies, but the 3rd baby was blurred out of the sleeve after someone noticed that it wasn’t really a baby, but a tiny, naked Marilyn Monroe.
ALBUM: “Room Service”
Supposedly Vengarox released 12-tracks in 2001, wich were mid-tempo songs mostly. They can be found in a CD that no one bought called “Room Service”.
Vengarox on!

kix will play on a normal cd player, you just have to let the end track run on.
I appreciate it is unlisteed though.
