Let's all take a moment out of the busy, grim world to consider the wikipedia history of ABBA, everyone's 70's guilty pleasure. We had several ABBA recordings on 8-track when I was a kid, and to this day "Money Money Money" reminds me of deep woods off, little league baseball, and swimming pools. I'm sure most readers will go, "ABBA?!?... EEWwww!!!" but I defy you to resist humming the melody to "Chiquitita" if I put on the "Greatest Hits" CD.
Yeah, yeah, whatever, and I'm sure you never ever listen to pop music either.
ABBA rules. I've got ABBA Gold - 17 great tracks that'll take me back to the day...
I think I know all the words. It also helps that Amber and I play the CD when we're home improving...

And boy, did ABBA make the difference in "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" or what?

You know what, until you commented on that I would never have remembered it, but now that I think about it it's absolutely right.
Learn something new every day.
