"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.
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 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 UK soap opera Coronation Street's climax to its 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.

Famous quotes containing the words you and and/or song:
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“To you, God the Singer, our voices we raise,
to you Song Incarnate, we give all our praise,
to you, Holy Spirit, our life and our breath,
be glory for ever, through life and through death.”
—Peter Davison (20th century)
