MLTR is a REALLY REALLY GREAT band. Even though this song is 20 years old now, it is still not outdated. Now, I am still listening to their songs days and nights and never get bored to it at all. There are no such great bands nowadays anymore.
Hey.. we danish people are very proud og MLTR.. They are giving many concerts in Denmark every year and there are always many people to se and hear them. ;-)). The next concert I am going to with MLTR is in february 2010. I can hardly wait.
I bought cd "played on pepper" of mltr in dubai 1995 and heard this sweet song, started to love and memorized the lyrics...It's 2022 and still hear and sing it in my videoke...thanks MLTR.
I dont even have my own car (even in my real life) But this song remind me that we musnt give up no matter how rough. Cuz in the end we'll get "the car" and of course "our love" :D cheers
"The Actor" He takes you out and he takes you up 'cause he can show you so much I go to bed and tomorrow again there's a lot of work to be done He gives you gold and he'll promise you the whole world will be yours I just can tell you I love you so even though my odds are low [Chorus:] I'm not an actor I'm not a star and I don't even have my own car But I'm hoping so much you'll stay that you will love me anyway The dirty games and the neonshows this is the world he knows Watching the stars satisfies my soul thinking of him makes me feel so cold The fancy cars and the restaurants you're just so fond of the man Sometimes I wonder if you are blind can't you see, he's got dirt on his mind [Chorus:] I'm not an actor I'm not a star and I don't even have my own car...
Since I can see some people wondering, I guess I'll explain. :) After the solo he says "Så er det jeres tur, Skanderborg! 3, 4." meaning, "Now it's your turn, Skanderborg! 3, 4" And then he says "Fremragende!" when the audience stops singing, which basically means "Excellent!" Skanderborg is a city in Denmark and every year there's a big festival called Skanderborg festival. This performance is from the festival's 25th anniversary in 2004. For whatever reason they've never been nearly as "big" here in Denmark as they are in Asia. Not really sure why. They've had some hits here "The Actor" is probably the biggest hit they've had in Denmark.
