Video – now online – has Roxette on “Late Night” talk show


STOCKHOLM - "Roxette has changed style. In the new video "Real Sugar" they're both tougher and funnier than before," reports Aftonbladet in today's edition.

  The Daily Roxette reported in a previous article that the video features Muppet-like puppets that look like the Ramones. They are the house band on "Dick Latka's Late Night Show," a classic American-style talk show where all are puppets except for Per and Marie.

 "The video is supercool. Warm, rough and tough," says Per. "We've never done anything like it, and it was really cool to play with the Ramones," he said with a laugh.

  "After 39 singles, it's not that easy to have fresh ideas… but I think we've done it. This is one of our best videos," Gessle stated.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Aftonbladet has updated their article to include both RealVideo and Quicktime versions of the full-length video. Caricatures's of David Letterman (initials D.L.), host of the "Late Show" on CBS, always emphasize his big teeth. Seems director Jesper Hiro had Letterman in mind when creating Dick Latka (initials D.L.).
