Trivia

Swedish jugglers Peter Aberg and Viktor Gyllenberg currently have a two-man juggling group called "Look Sharp!" that is a tribute to this album by Roxette. The show runs about 90 minutes, in which all of the routines are synched up to songs from the album. Peter and Viktor use an original Roxette vinyl record to play the music rather than a CD.
