Knowing Me Knowing You is good.
‘Take a Chance on Me’ is my favorite song.
Yes Sir, ABBA is multi-generational!
I must be one of the very few who have never watched The Simpsons.
Anyone who can’t appreciate the musicality of this isn’t listening...

Thanks. I just love ABBA.
Love Happy New Year and Fernando especially.
Neuman's or Kramer's?
The Newmanium!
I lead a very sheltered life.
I only watch Seinfeld reruns, Captain Kangaroo and I FReep a lot.
Thank You for the Music is a great song! Yes, I can imagine that in the context you described—a beautiful tribute to your mother—it would be incredibly moving.
I’m so glad you shared that personal story; I don’t think I’ll ever hear the song again without thinking of it and imagining your sweet parents.
That IS a good song! It’s such a sad one! I have a playlist on my iPod called “Wallowing” that is full of sad love songs/break-up songs/songs that remind me of The One Who Got Away. Knowing Me Knowing You is on that playlist (along with about 200 others...pathetic, I know!!).
Geesh, y’all are going to make me bust out an ABBA CD here in a minute. Perfect to “Ring Ring” in the new year, I guess!! :)
Got that right. I’m a male lesbian, 58 and still groove it to ABBA.
The ABBA Movie with what’s her face and James Bond was so silly and entertaining too!
Thank you for the Music is also a very hard song to listen to for me as well. Remembering being drafted into High School chorus because I was a male with a deep voice.
Gee, just new in HS and joining Chorus - so NOT cool, but the times spent rehearsing taught us discipline and we learned to follow directions!!
I had the joy of singing with a joint 500 head mass chorus doing Messiah. Several musicals with solos, oy!
Then Barbershop. Two friends and I helped resurrect a chorus in North Carolina. I was never any good at holding my part in a quartet, but in an octet and on the risers it was all good.
Carry a Song in your Heart!
ABBA Gold is on the top of my ITunes.
I like Abba.
Aren't we all, FRiend, aren't we all?
I think I have that one somewhere. I’ve mainly listened to The Best of ABBA in recent years. I have a separate CD I had to buy to get Rock Me. Love that song!
