earlier this christmas season i was confused when i heard it must have been love<\/em><\/strong> by roxette<\/strong> on a channel that was playing all christmas music. did somebody make a mistake? a song about falling in love with a prostitute on a christmas channel? by changing just one word–>it’s a cold winter day<\/em> to it’s a cold christmas<\/u> day,<\/em> a music publisher found a way to make even more money from a song that is already forever connected to the movie pretty woman<\/em><\/strong>. what a trashy\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(questionable ethically), commercial trick!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

but after a few quick searches, i realized that it was actually a trashy, commercial trick that happened in the 1980s. the christmas version was first! according to wikipedia<\/strong>, emi germany<\/strong> asked roxette to “come up<\/em> with<\/em> an intelligent christmas single.”‘\u00a0come up with<\/a><\/em><\/strong> means create, produce<\/em>.<\/p>\n

it must have been love (christmas for the broken hearted)<\/em><\/strong> was released in roxette<\/a>‘s native sweden<\/a> as a christmas song in december 1987 and was a big hit nationally.<\/p>\n
