Always loved this song so much!!!. First Roxette hit that go me hooked. I made up a 90 min tape of it and that pissed my mum off so much hearing it over and over and over again that she went out and bought the Joyride album for me!!! Bless her...

I’m still trying to track down the demo version that was on the Making Of Joyride documentary. Hope it’s available somewhere...

boykie19 said on March 16, 2003 10:37:

yea the demo version sounds really cool 2.. i hope they release it one day!
so big L basically did just as well in sweden as ON did :)

@ boykie19

Well, it was the 3rd single already from Joyride...And god knows how many copies of Joyride had already been sold in Sweden by that time!
ON is the first release from TPH as you know. And Big L stayed a bit longer in the top-20...

boykie19 said on March 16, 2003 13:42:

mm so if big L was released as a first single from the joyride album for instance it coulda been a massive hit i think...

this is one of my fave songs! too damn catchy!!! hehe, I love the kettledrums in the demo. The way they just speak ’the big love’ over and over makes me laugh so much!!!

Actually... I liked Roxette before Joyride alot... But it was Big L that took my breath away. I had the video on tape. I used to rewind it as soon as it was over and my brother would get so pissed at me. I’d watch it 100 times, pause it on Per and kiss the screen. Haha. I was 11 then :D.
