    • 1985, Roger Brett (lyrics and music), “Warner Home Video-sången [The Warner Home Video song]”‎performed by Richard Häger, Vicki Benckert:
      Medan spänningen höjs mer och mer, inte bara den du ser. Jag låtsas att den skrämmer mig. När jag kurar in mig hos dig lite blygt, och så tittar jag i smyg. Men mycket, mycket närmre dig. Warner Home Video, för vår bästa hemmakväll [hard to make out].
      As the tension rises more and more, not just the one you see. I pretend that it scares me . When I huddle up to you a bit shyly, and then I watch furtively. But much, much closer to you. Warner Home Video, for our best night in.
