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

#228

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

#229

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

#230

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.

Are you missing ‘Money, Money, Money’ and ‘Tiger’???

#244

Never really liked Money, Money, Money, and don’t know Tiger so well - will put that one on

#246

Fucking love ‘Tiger’. Would highly recommend it.
