}} "The Look" is a song by the Swedish rock duo Roxette, released as the second single in early 1989 from their second studio album, ''Look Sharp!'' (1988). The song became Roxette's international "breakthrough" single, finally exposing the duo to music consumers outside of the duo's native Sweden and Europe after more than one attempt. It topped the U.S. singles chart in 1989 becoming their first U.S. #1 success and scored #7 on the UK Singles Chart. The song also topped the charts in 24 other countries. This song is also known as "She's Got the Look" 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roxette - News )〕 ==Background== While still unknown outside of Sweden, Roxette released their second album ''Look Sharp!'' With the success of the first two singles from the album, they toured Sweden again. When "The Look" was about to be released in Sweden as the third single, an American exchange student named Dean Cushman returned from Sweden and urged radio station, KDWB in Minneapolis, to play "The Look". From there, "The Look" spread on cassette copies to other radio stations. With the song's radio success, EMI quickly released "The Look". Suddenly, Roxette had a #1 scoring single in the United States, and the record wasn't even released. When ''Look Sharp!'' was finally released, it was able to debut on the U.S. album charts at #50, an unusual feat at the time for a newcomer artist, and later scored #23, eventually staying in the charts for 71 weeks. According to Gessle the first two verses lyrics were guide lyrics but were kept anyway; however, many listeners interpret such lines as "tasted like a raindrop", "heaven's got a number when she's spinning me around", and "shaking like a mad bull" as sexually connotative.
