"You and Me Song" is a song by Swedish band The Wannadies. Originally released as a single in 1994, it became the group's biggest UK hit two years later when it reached number 18 in the singles chart in April 1996.[1]
Appearing on the band's third album, Be A Girl, the song was also included on their next album, Bagsy Me, due to the success of the re-released single and the song's appearance on the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's film William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.
For the second UK single release, the song's title acquired an ampersand. The B-side, "Blister in the Sun", is a cover of a song by The Violent Femmes.
The song was used in Coronation Street's climax to their biggest plot, in which serial killer Richard Hillman drove into a canal with his family in the car, the song was used again in 2007 when David Platt did the same thing, but with only him in the car.
