Been wondering if it’s worth debating how creepy those lyrics are or not.

Depends on if you think they’re talking about a literal underage girl or just an immature woman I guess.

Slightly less creepy than My Sharona which was in the charts around the same time…

I have no idea how Disney have got away with not being sued by ABBA - that whole middle section of ‘Let it Go’ from Frozen is an entire lift of the intro/first verse from The Visitors

they owe big dollar for that

For a split-second I considered knocking them down to a 4 for being cool with the whole Teresa May/Dancing Queen aberration.

Have they said they are? Doubt very much the Tories bothered to approach them in advance

One of those bands where I appreciate how finely crafted everything is, but ultimately really don’t enjoy the end product. 2/5 for me, Clives.

Ultra-rich white people being ok with Tories SHOCKER I guess but was disappointed nonetheless. Even Keane had the good grace to send Cameron a cease and desist

I was just made aware of this

and now you are also aware

“Girl youre only a child”

Not much ambiguity there…

Wound up spending today listening to ABBA’s greatest hits and I think I need to revise my score to 4/5. Turns out that when you step away from the overplayed ones they’ve got some decent tracks in there. Money Money Money and Gimme Gimme Gimme are quite fab :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Sidebar: really love their “repeat something three times” song titles don’t they?

Hello mates, this is a JAG but my pals and I are playing all of ABBA Gold tonight at MOTH Club in Hackney. Don’t know why I didn’t think to post this earlier but if you’re in a market for a load of covers of a 3.66-average-DiS-Certified band’s greatest hits then… https://dice.fm/event/d567e-abba-golden-1st-aug-moth-club-london-tickets :upside_down_face:

@epimer were you aware Sir Sweepington is moonlighting as a DJ?

Aight I watched Mamma Mia 2: The bloodening at the weekend while I had the flu and God it was shit but great, obviously.

Anyway, I want to know what songs I should add to my ABBA playlist on Spotify, cos I’ve run out of ones that spring to mind obviously.

ABBA have so many good songs, though.
