The coward slave, we pass him by
We dare be puir for a' that.

Speaking of covers, I would have only known of the Blancmange version of The Day Before You Came* ... but here's the original:

I've just noticed that some of the videos I've post have embedding disabled, and that these are from the official Abba Youtube channel. Meh - what's an extra click or two. Also, it's good to see someone trying to spread awareness of their music this way rather than trying to remove anything they can find from the Internet.

I really disliked Abba w I was young and they were 'on the scene'. Now my 2 little girls have discovered the Mamma Mia soundtrack and sing along to all the songs, I think they are the bees knees. But Slipping Through My Fingers makes me howl, every time.

I quite like ABBA. I really like Chess, though, the 80s musical the two ABBA guys did with Tim Rice.

I generally like them - not a huge fan, but unashamed to say I like a good number of their songs. :dono:

My mums a big ABBA fan and yet; when I bought her Mamma Mia for her birthday she looked at me like I was the biggest thick in the world.

:oops:

And more :oops: for having to go in and buy it. I actually bought Rambo for a fiver along with it just so the girl behind didn't think I was a complete fag.
