* CreatorBacklash: Per has gone on record as saying that "Almost Unreal" sounds like a parody of the band's style, and is generally unhappy with the way its release was handled. However, being that it was the credits theme to the ''[[Film/SuperMarioBros1993 Super Mario Bros.]]'' live-action movie, it's how a lot of people in the US came to know and love them. Besides that, Per became angry that the song ended up in that film soundtrack instead of ''Film/HocusPocus'', because he didn't believe that the song would not fit in with a film about three witches and a talking cat. Look at the [[http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/roxette/almostunreal.html lyrics]] sheet where the chorus has a TitleDrop for the film that the song was intended for.
