"Sleeping in My Car", written by Per Gessle, is a song by Roxette, released as the first single from their 1994 album Crash! Boom! Bang!. It reached #1 in Sweden and #3 in Canada, and stayed on the Canadian charts for more than half a year. In the US it reached #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

When Roxette performed in the Workers Indoor Arena in Beijing, China in 1995, they were asked to change the suggestive lyrics of the song. "We agreed, but didn't change them in the end," says Per Gessle.
