We’ve finally uncovered the answer to one of life’s eternal quandaries: Q: What in the world could make a brown-eyed girl turn blue? Na-na-na-na-na! A: Grand Theft Auto. Obviously. I knew something might eventually prompt the unlikely thought, “I’d like to learn more about the Grand Theft Auto franchise,” but never imagined it would be the use of classic 1988 Roxette song “The Look” in a marketing campaign for Episodes from Liberty City (featuring The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned, out October 29). It all makes sense because Gay Tony owns a shimmery ’80s nightclub! Any reminder of Roxette’s existence in 2009 falls under Things That Are Awesome.
Next GTA installment should make liberal use of “Dangerous” or “Joyride,” please. “It Must Have Been Love” might be pushing it.
And Roxette are re-forming this year! Fantastic!
Yes, they are – right around now, actually1

roxette is awesome
Roxette is back! This is amazing!
Listen to “Hotblooded” (track 2 on Joyride) and you’ll see why it would be even more kick ass than the other suggestions in the next GTA trailer. Thanks, Annie, for showing Per and Marie the love they deserve.
