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.

Don't hate me...but I love this song. /hides

This song was played at many New Year's Eve parties I'd go to at this bar my dad worked at - I was around 16-18 or so. It just reminds me of that for some reason.

(You're probably wondering how in hell I was able to get into a bar at that age. Well, in Wisconsin you can drink as a minor in a bar/restaurant, as long as a parent is present. Let's just say I definitely took advantage of that! )

Ahahaha no worries! I don't hold taste in music against anyone! (Mostly.)

That's interesting about Wisconsin's drinking-as-a-minor laws -- are those still in effect, or have they changed? In NYC you can certainly get into a bar/restaurant with a parent... though I don't know if they'd necessarily deliberately serve the minor alcohol (depends on the place).

Hmmm. I haven't lived in Wisconsin since I was 20, and I haven't heard about any changes...so I'm assuming it's still in affect. If it still is, I believe it's the only state that allows minors to drink under a certain circumstance.

But yeah...I'd sit down at the bar, and I could order whatever I wanted without any fear of repercussions from drinking as a minor. I think my dad would've preferred me to do that, instead of at a underage house party, or something like that. Besides, I think drinking underage at a bar was much more fun than a house party. xD

I think the best was June '03 after I turned 20, a month before I moved to NC. I went to this 3-day country music festival, and I basically had one of those huge 32 oz. jugs of hard lemonade attached to my hand, refilled whenever I wanted. Oh, those were the days.

[osaraba]

Sigh. That all sounds kind of awesome. =D

Especially the 3-day music festival. (Country, not so much, but you know, YAY MUSIC FESTIVAL!) \o/

Also, extremely appropriate icon! LOLZ!

My extremely appropriate icon was the only one I had involving alcohol. And who better than buzzed/drunk!Tazer? :)
