Synopsis

Roxette perform "(Do You Get) Excited?" against the stark beauty of the Western Australian desert. Marie Fredriksson, dressed in white, provides the video's striking visual center as the duo appear amid vast, sun-baked landscapes and deep purple evening skies. The presentation is atmospheric rather than narrative-driven, using close-ups, performance shots, desert scenery and lyrics displayed on parchment-like surfaces to give the sultry Joyride track a dramatic, almost timeless character.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was filmed in Western Australia in late 1991 while Roxette were on the Join the Joyride Tour.
  • "(Do You Get) Excited?" was intended to be the final single from Joyride, but "Church of Your Heart" was released instead.
  • The song was later included among the music videos on the 1992 home-video release Live-Ism.
  • It was not included on Roxette's 1991 compilation The Videos because the clip had not yet been filmed when that collection was completed.
  • The track is one of the Joyride songs co-written by Per Gessle and Mats Persson.
  • The video's desert setting, purple-toned skies and parchment-style presentation give it a distinctly different mood from Roxette's more familiar urban or concert-based clips.
