Abba Songs

I am in a much better mood today, the Mama Mia was fun (yeah, I had seen it before). Anyways, I was trying to figure out which is my favorite Abba song while I was watching the movie. All of them remind me of my mom putting a tape in and us dancing in the living room.

It's hard to pick just one. ABBA has been one of my favorite bands since I was a kid. They were the first concert I ever saw!

Oh! I am jealous, they would have been so fun to see in concert.

It was hard for me to pick too.

If you get the chance to see Bjorn Again, go! They're an Australian ABBA tribute band. I saw them at the Quest years ago and was thoroughly entertained.

My friends used to do a local ABBA cover bands called ABBAsolutely. They were a lot of fun too.

When I do start my "Couldn't pay me enough" website, I have to remember to put Abba songs in the $400-$1000 range.

Sad! They are so awesome and fun!

There's not a lot of music that I can't listen to, but there's not a lot of music I choose to listen to. I'm a music snob. Until about a decade ago, abba pretty much embodied Everything That Is Wrong With Music. But of course then they went and made it all much much worse (the music industry, not abba).

I am so not a music snob. I just like songs that I can sing along to. :)

I do too... I just... detest Disco.

I think we can agree to disagree on this.

You just like to be difficult

Maybe I am trying to be one of those now.

Hey, I can tell you what my parents' favourite ABBA song was!

ABBA is pop and only a few of their albums were disco. Songs like "Waterloo" and "Fernando" don't even come close to disco.

They come close enough for me, my friend.

It is beautiful. I don't know why I love that song so much.

Frank Zappa!

Hah, I should've gone with Frank Zappa's "Dancin' Fool".

♫ Don't know much about dancin
That's why I got this song
One of my legs is shorter than the other
n both my feets too long
Course now right along with em
I got no natural rhythm
But I go dancin every night
Hopin one day I might get it right ♫

If "Something Else (Enter Below)" was an ABBA song, it would be my favourite.
