Biography

Swedish pop duo, formed in 1986 in Halmstad by [a=Per Gessle] and [a=Marie Fredriksson]. The group enjoyed worldwide success from the late 1980s until the mid-1990s, gaining nineteen UK Top 40 hits and four US #1 singles with, "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love" and "Joyride". Two further singles "Dangerous" and "Fading Like a Flower" hit #2. Finally, "Dressed for Success" was a modest hit in the US peaking at #14. After a hiatus in the mid-1990s, their popularity continued in other territories such as Europe and South America, where they earned various Gold and Platinum awards until the beginning of the new millennium. In 2002 the duo took a break from recording and touring when Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumour. In 2009 Roxette took to the stage together again for the first time in 8 years, during Gessle's European Party Crasher tour. Their songs continue to receive radio airplay, with "It Must Have Been Love" and "Listen to Your Heart" both recently receiving awards from BMI for achieving four million radio plays. They have sold an estimated 60 million records worldwide, with over 3.5 million record sales in the United States, achieving platinum for Joyride and Look Sharp! there.

LYRICS

Mao Mao Mao...
I love the sound of smashing guitars.
I love the sound of crashing guitars.
Red guitars against the wall.
Big guitars can turn so small.
I love the sound of crashing guitars.
Show it!

The 6-string kick inside.
The 6-string kick inside.
The 6-string kick inside.

I love the sound of breaking guitars.
I love the sound of crashing guitars.
Hey you long haired vintage Jesus.
Break the guitar into 1000 pieces.
I love the sound of crashing guitars.
Don't you?

The 6-string kick inside.
The 6-string kick inside.

Don't you love the sound of crashing guitars?
Don't you love the sound of crashing electric guitars?
Don't you love that sound, drivin' in your car.
Don't you love the sound of crashing electric guitars?
Don't you? Don't you?

I love the touch of watching the stars.
I love the sound of trashing guitars.
Custom made, Townshend's ace.
Smash the axe and break the case.
I love the sound of crashing guitars.
Crashing and crashing!

The 6-string kick inside.
The 6-string kick inside

I love the sound of crashing guitars. Mao Mao Mao...
