"Paint" is an incredible tune that is buried among the big hits on their breakthrough 1988 album, "Look Sharp!" The ABBA-esque chorus is amazing and I'm astonished this song wasn't chosen as a single over "Dressed For Success" (which still did well, mind you, topping out at #14).

"Paint" by Roxette
Roxette is a duo hailing from Sweden that achieved international acclaim beginning in the late 80s. Marie Fredrisksson and Per Gessle share vocal duties and have a knack for catchy choruses. In the US, they scored an impressive four #1 and two #2 hits in just a few years time, from 1989-1991. Then they quickly faded away; their last chart appearance was in 1994 when "Sleeping In My Car" stalled at #50. Nevertheless, they rank as the 48th most successful chart artist of the 90s.
