ABBA - The Album + THE REST Sync Listen

[Pingu]

I genuinely think this is THE most tragic in their back catalogue.

 

[Iguana]

God I love this song.

 

[RJN]

Very into this one (One Man, One Woman) so far

 

[Iguana]

Sounds heteronormative

The woman is actually a drag queen.

 

[Penelope]

But WHY ONE MAN ONE WOMAN SPECIFICALLY? Why not a WOOD PIGEON

 

[RJN]

Penelope explain the wood pigeon please

 

[Pingu]

4. The Name Of The Game

 

[Iguana]

That FUNK on The Name of the Game. I just can't

 

[Penelope]

Penelope explain the wood pigeon please

Do I LOOK LIKE A MATHEMATICIAN?

 

[Pingu]

This was a total skipper when I first listened to ABBA Gold at the age of 9.

 

[RJN]

this was 2 songs back, but the lyrics of Take A Chance On Me are so bleak. I love it

 

[Iguana]

I WAS AN IMPOSSIBLE CASE!

 

[GNL]

Penelope explain the wood pigeon please

Country diary: male wood pigeon has one thing on his mind

Crook, County Durham: With hopping, strutting and wide parabolic flights across the garden, this male is going to great lengths to win over a disdainful consort

4. The Name Of The Game

Love it so much. Kind of subtle and also extremely strong Agnetha vocal.

 

[Penelope]

The Name of the Game - so good even terrible people like ELVIS COSTELLO had to admit ABBA were fucking incredible after it

 

[Penelope]

Love how SHAMBLING it is

 

[GNL]

Quite FUNKY.

 

[Pingu]

It sounds like at least 3 completely different songs in one, maybe 4. But they totally fit.

 

[Tisch]

I like that's it not in the 'in crowd' of the Mamma Mia's and Dancing Queen's of this world but it really is just as good, in a more understated way. Relateable!

Same! It took me until TWENTY SIX to get that it was genius

[Iguana]

No wonder I get excited

RESOLUTELY undanceable

Sounds like you needed a good SLAP!

 

[Tisch]

NAR: (or should that be AR:?) There are some pigeons here that I've seen fucking every day for about two months. You're happy WE GET IT.

 

[Jark]

the instrumentation on The Name of the Game is so gorgeous. it's not quite top-tier ABBA but definitely a SOLID FOOT TAPPER. happy tune.

xx Eagle
10 Take a Chance On Me
07 One Woman One Man
09 The Name of the Game

 

[Penelope]

This is going to be in my head for the next three days now

 

[RJN]

RESOLUTELY undanceable

Florence and the Machine begs to differ

 

[Pingu]

I'm so surprised sometimes that this was the lead single. It could SO easily have become hidden gem fan favourite fodder.

 

[Iguana]

@Pingu I hear a little Barry Manilow in the little trumpet piece before the chorus

 

[Tisch]

That game looks incredibly boring. No way is Frida really laughing like that.

 

[RJN]

It was one of their biggest US hits weirdly

 

[Pingu]

5. Move On

 

[Iguana]

My ratings so far are insane

 

[Pingu]

This is RuPaul's favourite ABBA song.

 

[Iguana]

Not a fucking MAN

 

[Iguana]

This is RuPaul's favourite ABBA song.

Basic bitch.

 

[Tisch]

Not a fucking MAN

Who was it? Not B or B putting a character on please don't say!

 

[RJN]

I misheard the opening lyrics as "They say a wrestler's body can hide a peaceful soul"

You can tell an artist is at their peak when even the ACCIDENTS are classics
