10. "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" converted me

Before I saw it performed in drag, I wasn't much of a fan.

[NYResister]

16. I had to look it up.

Love it!!!!

[TlalocW]

11. "If you don't think this song is the greatest ever, I will fight you. That's no lie."

TlalocW

[NYResister]

15. hahahahahahahahaha

[Va Lefty]

18. Oh God Yes Those short skirts!

Let's just say they helped me through puberty!

[OriginalGeek]

19. Mamma Mia was one of my favorite movies in the last decade.

I hear they are doing a sequel too.

I mostly listen to metal but I'm a sucker for a well-choreographed dance number.

[NYResister]

23. I rarely purchase movies,

but I bought that one. I just watched it again a few nights ago.

[TexasBushwhacker]

52. Have you seen Muriel's Wedding?

It's an Australian movie starring Toni Collete and has an ABBA soundtrack.

[brooklynite]

20. I would pay four figures for an ABBA revival concert

[NYResister]

24. me too.

[mac56]

21. Please feel free to put me there.

[red dog 1]

31. LOL

[progressoid]

22. I had a friend in high school who was from Sweden.

He refused to admit that ABBA came from Sweden.

Needless to say we listened to more Clash and XTC than ABBA.

[NYResister]

25. I listen to it all!

[emulatorloo]

26. To me, Abba fandom should be part of DU's TOS

[NYResister]

34. lol

I agree!

[exboyfil]

27. When I was young I was a peer pressured

classic Rock snob. I would not admit that the first pop star I ever listened to was Christopher Cross.

Now that I am in my 50s, don't have that peer group anymore, and have access to Amazon Prime and Spotify; I find I am listening to bands that I would never have been caught dead listening to in my teens and 20s.

I will give ABBA a try.

[stonecutter357]

28. .

[NYResister]

35. That is so cool.

[ghostsinthemachine]

29. I've never knowingly heard one second of their music

Except for the Meryl Streep movie.

[Aristus]

30. There's no getting away from the fact that their music is just insanely catchy!

"The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of the Desert" made me love the music even more...

[red dog 1]

32. "Abba lifted the political gloom of the 1970s - Who will save us today?"

http://www.theguardian.com/music/shortcuts/2017/jul/04/abba-lifted-political-gloom-1970s-exhibition

When I think of ABBA, I think of Dancing Queen, which Art Bell used every night on the old
Coast to Coast AM radio show back in the 1990s.
I love that song; and I, too, had a huge crush on Agnetha

[NYResister]

36. I don't know if it's possible to save us from trump's gloom.

But thank goodness for music anyway. Life would really suck without it.

[red dog 1]

38. Yeah, I agree, Trump's presidency is the most depressing political era of my entire lifetime,

and I'm no spring chicken either.

Trump makes George W. Bush look like FDR or JFK.
(Thanks, Comey, for sending that letter)

[Leith]

33. I've Always Loved ABBA

Especially in Spanish. No, not a Spanish language cover band - ABBA.

[NYResister]

37. Awesome!

[Liberal Veteran]

39. As long as we are posting ABBA videos....I like this one

[smirkymonkey]

55. One of my favorite ABBA songs!

[Special Prosciuto]

40. How about the Orgasmic Waterloo?

ABBA : Waterloo - Momarkedet, Norway, 1975 (HQ)

[elleng]

41. Yes, and even better with Prosciuto!

[Special Prosciuto]

42. Vielen Dank

[MiltonBrown]

47. Waterloo is a really great song

Like a '50s rock-n-roll song with driving piano and honking saxophone. Great singing and energy and lovely gals.

[Special Prosciuto]

48. 30s and 40's swing was the same but less boasting. Our grandparents did better things.

[MiltonBrown]

49. Lol you're preaching to the choir.

Blues, jazz, swing and hillbilly music from '20s & 30s; mix 'em all together and you've got my favorite band, Milton Brown and his Musical Brownies.

[Iggo]

43. I went to junior high school and high school in the 1970s.

I'm a Frida man.

And that's all's I'm say'n.

Know'm say'n?

[Skittles]

58. were you a Mary Ann man too, Iggo?

yes INDEED

[Iggo]

60. Oh, absolutely.

But I was single digits agewise for most of that show's run, and to tell you the truth, I was kinda scared of Ginger.

Mary Ann seemed much nicer.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

44. I love ABBA. n/t

[Special Prosciuto]

46. A little later in Germany. I'm guessing early 80s

ABBA : Waterloo (German TV) HQ

[Upthevibe]

50. ABBA has always been my "guilty pleasure" but I keep finding out how many people love them!n/t

[ashling]

51. Will I receive verification of my having been ignored

or will I just have to take it on faith?

[Solly Mack]

53. I find them to be a fun band.

Singing in the car while driving on long trips.

Their signature harmonies are a lot of fun.

[A HERETIC I AM]

54. Best use of an ABBA song EVER!

[smirkymonkey]

56. I love ABBA!

[Special Prosciuto]

57. I want to go back and die in the seventies

I am doing nothing good here

[Rhiannon12866]

59. You're a valuable member of DU!

Take my word for it, the '70s weren't all that great - except for the music, which we still can enjoy!

[Special Prosciuto]

61. I am not. All I post is music.

[Rhiannon12866]

62. Nothing wrong with that!

This is The Lounge, where DU comes to get away from the issues of the day - and what's better than music to make people smile??

[Tikki]

63. I always thought the song "Fernando" was about the Spanish Revolution, but....

since it mentions the Rio Grande, I guess it could be either Spain or
from Mexico.

I suppose Spain has a big river somewhere.

Tikki
ps...I am a Dodgers fan and sometimes in the ballpark they would play "Fernando" when Fernando Valenzuela took the mound.
Aah...sweet memories.

[Awsi Dooger]

64. I loved that league

Dr. J with the huge afro
