Next up on Christmas Songs That Are Only Loosely Connected To The Holiday (A Countdown)... It Must Have Been Love by Roxette. I know what youre thinking -- Gib, that was NEVER a Christmas song! Youre right, but it was positioned to be one. You see, long before it became the smash hit theme from Pretty Woman, EMI Germany asked Roxette in 1987 to come up with an intelligent Christmas single. The result? This heaping pile of sap about a lonely winters day after the break-up of a relationship, which originally bore the subtitle Christmas for the Broken Hearted. Though it became a Top 10 hit in Sweden, EMI Germany (rightly) said, What the hell? This isnt a Christmas song! and didnt release it. After lying around, gathering dust, the Julia Roberts/Richard Gere movie spiffed it up, dropped the holiday subtitle, and turned it into a #1 hit in the U.S. Oy.
