there was something in the air that night...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. Am I in the minority here?

But I find listening to ABBA to be brutal, Abu-Gharib/Guantanamo/CIA Rendition style torture.

It sounds so...processed. It's the musical equivilant of wonderbread.

2. edit that to say "all ABBA except Fernando", and i'd completely agree

for reasons surpassing all understanding, i love this song.

i can't explain it. nor can i justify or defend it. it is what it is.

[SteppingRazor]

3. Oh, I totally understand, MissCoffee.

:popcorn:

8. take a chance take a chance take a chance take a chance take a chance take a chance take a chance

[Richard Steele]

5. I can hear them right now, actually.

My neighbor is a drummer. :)

6. Hmmm...

I'm really no fan of Abba, but if I had to pick a song of theirs that was least offensive, it'd be that one. :)

[IndianaJones]

7. little know fact....Fernando Valenzuela was the inspiration for that song. nt.

[SteppingRazor]

9. Hmmm. Somehow, I don't think it's likely...

that a Swedish pop band wrote a song in 1976 about a Los Angeles Dodger who made his major league debut in 1980. ;)

10. prior to pitching, Senor Valenzuela was a well-known revolutionary folk hero

everyone knows that. duh.
