Did You Listen to Abba?

No, I am not asking if you listened to your father. I am talking about the Swedish band. They couldn’t dance, they wore ridiculous costumes but they did manage to come up with a few catchy tunes.

    Hence the success of Mama Mia, notwithstanding its rather nonexisting plot – the music was just so much fun!

    Yes I love Abba and listen regularly
    In my opinion, the best song is “Give me give me” which now seems to have sexual connotations but when I was growing up the song seemed so innocent.
