day 12 - a song from a band you hate

[osaraba]

YES, I HATE ABBA. That doesn't mean I don't sing along with some of their songs, mostly due to overexposure (please, no more Dancing Queen). I reluctantly semi-like their Take a Chance on Me, but that's because I heard the Erasure version first, which I love (yes, I am a child of the 80s).

Fave line: you don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, i ain't gonna let you

Dear god, seeing the video for the original version made me like it even less -- what is with the arm flapping?

LOL, Erasure's parody video is slightly hilarious. Ahahahah, oh yeah, I forgot how awesome that reggae interlude is.

List of all days.

ABBA will always hold a place in my heart . . . as long as the songs are the Spanish versions. And still, there are moments when the LAST thing I want to listen to is "Dancing Queen". My aural relationship with ABBA (as well as disco music in general) is loopy.

Oh, and OF COURSE you like that song! Erasure makes ANY SONG ten zillion times better. :)

Erasure is love. =D
