Roxette - "Dressed for Success" (1989)

[WotUNeed]

Probably a thread hiding somewhere, but I failed to uncover it. Heard this for the first time in I don't know how long while out last night, and it's been stuck in my head today. Standard Roxette, but it's fun, and I enjoyed getting to listen to it again.

Me too actually... were you listening to the Roxette concert playback on Sirius/XM?

It's not one of my favorite Roxette songs, but I did enjoy hearing it last night for the first time in a long time. It's one of the few Roxette hits that I don't own and also have not been exposed to much in the past 15 years or so.

"Sleeping In My Car" is another one along those lines that I heard on the concert playback last night.

I don't believe so. I heard it while out a bar. Not sure what they stream, but this was the only Roxette song I heard last night. Other songs included Genesis's "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" and Dire Straits's "Walk of Life". I'd guess it's an '80s satellite radio station or something similar, but not sure exactly as it's a continuous stream of music with no station identification.

R&R chart run: 39-33-26-23-18-16-21-30-40. I was very surprised when it began dropping from 16-21 as I thought this was a very strong follow-up to "The Look." One of my favorite Roxette songs. I also like "Church Of Your Heart" which is never heard anymore.

My least favorite single from "Look Sharp."

Their ballad hits were ace but the uptempos sound corny for the most part, except for "The Look."
