This week we take a spirited journey to Nicky J USA's house and discuss the 1991 number one hit "Joyride" by the Swedish pop duo Roxette. This group dominated the late 80s and early 90s US pop charts, yet their popularity in the rest of the world would prove to be the key to their sustained success. Often cited as one of the greatest songwriting duos to emerge from Scandinavia, Roxette's ultra-catchy melodies paired with quirky ESL lyrics have earned them a place next to A-Ha in the Valhalla of pop music. What are the rules for naming a tribute cover band? What landed airport employees in hot water during Roxette's recent tour of Russia? What song has the best whistling solo of all time? All these questions and more will be answered on this week's episode of Single File.
