}} "Joyride" is a song by the Swedish rock duo Roxette. Written by Per Gessle, the song was released as the lead single from their third studio album, ''Joyride'' (1991), the follow-up to the duo's highly successful second studio album, ''Look Sharp!'' (1988). The single topped the charts across Europe and in Australia, Canada, and the United States, where it spent one week at number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, their last to do so, in May 1991. In the UK, "Joyride" peaked at #4. In interviews, Gessle states he got the idea for the opening line of this song from his girlfriend (now wife) who left a note on his piano that stated, "Hello, you fool, I love you."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus!'' album liner notes. )〕 In the opening section of the song, a man is heard saying "Come on, join the joyride everybody, get your tickets here, step right this way"; the man who says this is Roxette's old tour manager and long-time friend Dave Edwards. This is an homage to The Beatles' song "Magical Mystery Tour", on which, during the opening section, Paul McCartney is heard saying "Roll up, roll up for the Magical Mystery Tour! Step right this way!" In the liner notes of ''Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus!'', Gessle calls "Joyride" Roxette's "Magical Mystery Tour", and says he took the title from an interview in which Paul McCartney called writing songs with John Lennon a "long joyride".〔''Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus!'' liner notes. EMI, 1995.〕 In 1991, Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Chipettes covered the song for their album ''The Chipmunks Rock the House''. During the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs this became the intro anthem to the Vancouver Canucks as they took the ice before each game. ==Formats and track listings== ; CD maxi # "Joyride" (7" version) – 4:01 # "Come Back (Before You Leave)" – 4:36 # "Joyride" (12" magicfriendmix) – 6:11 # "Joyride" (U.S. remix) – 4:05 ; 7" single # "Joyride" – 3:58 # "Come Back (Before You Leave)" – 4:34 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joyride (Roxette song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
