Muriel's Wedding (1994)

 

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 16

A song that's a classic favourite.

Two Abba songs in such a short space of a music challenge? Either one of them just died (they haven't) or this lockdown has unlocked from my inner depths my 9 year old, 16 year old, 27 year old, 36 year old . . . old man 'lustcrush' (not a word; just made it up).

Anyway, it's a stone cold classic. Elvis Costello and Steve Nieve thought so, and they know their pop onions:

Abba - Dancing Queen (1976)

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 12

A song from your preteen years.

As a kid, it was such a big deal that they mentioned Glasgow in the lyric. The glamour . . . Agnetha . . . Be still my beating heart . . .

Abba - Super Trouper (1980)

Garfunkel and Garfunkel Simon and Simon

Swedes have always been my favourite Scandinavians for some inexplicable reason but a bit more of this from the Norweigans and I might have to revise my opinion:

Of course, I've been here before with my declared love for Kings of Convenience, but I would have thought after nearly four years my mancrush on Erlend Øye would have melted away just a wee bit.

Quick, throw me my favourite Abba youtube clip before I write something I might regret.
