I don't remember much of that particular episode, except that it introduced me to what would become my no-fucking-kidding favorite band of all time. The video in question: "The Look." The band: Roxette. The voice: Marie Fredriksson. *Sigh*I place the blame for my taste in women firmly at Marie's feet, to...
