ABBA - Voyage RELEASE DAY SYNC LISTEN (1 Viewer)

[dmlaw]

Shut Down Me Don't?

I think that’s what the Yoda cover version was called.

 

[octophone]

I will also allow I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day, as far as children’s choirs go.

Actually, you're right. I guess I don't really think of it as a 'choir'

 

[octophone]

I think that’s what the Yoda cover version was called.

Shut Me Down Don't.

 

[Iguana]

Just A Notion

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

I have just noticed how brilliantly Frida provides this strident confidence in the chorus that is an amazing counterpoint to the fragility in the Ag verse. Excellence.

 

[Iguana]

Just An Ocean

 

[Tisch]

Shut Me Down Don't.

"(Shut me down?) (Don't!)" The Shania cover out soon!

 

[octophone]

This is 'Waterloo"'s little cousin.

 

[RJN]

Was this the song that someone was offended by its existence? I like it

This is 'Waterloo"'s little cousin.

yeah I hear that

 

[Iguana]

yeah I hear that

Yes me, but it sounds better in the context of the album.

The only one with vocals from the '70s

 

[dmlaw]

I don’t really get why the fans were angry about ‘Just A Notion’. The harmonies are lovely.

 

[Tisch]

I only listened to this maybe once before today? It works very well for me in the context of the album. I want to dance like a mum.

Would you say the negativity was more down to fans knowing it was an old demo?

 

[RJN]

I want to decorate a Christmas tree in a movie montage to this

 

[octophone]

Would you say the negativity was more down to fans knowing it was an old demo?

Has it been released in any form before? If not, that sounds like a bit of fan snobbery..."oh, that leaked AAAAAGES ago"...

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

Apart from “so you’re hesitating” and “there is no mistaking” it’s a bit lumpen and Status Quo like. It has lots of ABBA ingredients but it’s a bit sunken soufflé.

 

[Iguana]

I Can Be That Woman (or dog)

 

[Pingu]

Just A Notion’s place is really justified on the album (as I suspected it might be).

 

[Tisch]

Has it been released in any form before? If not, that sounds like a bit of fan snobbery..."oh, that leaked AAAAAGES ago"...

@Pingu @lolly @HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid @Iguana to confirm

 

[dmlaw]

Tammy’s a cat, right?

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

Tammy is such an icky name.

 

[octophone]

It says a lot that I immediately assumed that 'Tammy' was a cat.

Tammy with the Swishing Tail is the new Becky with the Good Hair.

 

[Iguana]

Tammy’s a cat, right?

DOG!

 

[RJN]

Tammy with the Swishing Tail is the new Becky with the Good Hair.

I'll never hear "Becky with the Good Hair" again and not think of this

 

[Pingu]

Has it been released in any form before? If not, that sounds like a bit of fan snobbery..."oh, that leaked AAAAAGES ago"...

Literally just a clip on a medley of outtakes on CD4 of a 90s box set.

 

[dmlaw]

DOG!

Dog tails don’t swish!

 

[octophone]

Dog tails don’t swish!

THIS!

 

[RJN]

This sounds like Listen To Your Heart a little (the melody)

 

[Tisch]

Dog tails don’t swish!

ALBUM CANCELLED

I see. As a Radiohead fan, I have no problem with songs taking a long time to come to fruition so stuff like that bothers me not a jot.

 

[Iguana]

Dog tails don’t swish!

THIS!

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

This sounds like Listen To Your Heart a little (the melody)

Even some of her delivery is very Roxette

 

[octophone]

The trouble is, if Tammy is a cat then the dog doesn't have a name and that would make even less sense.

 

[dmlaw]

ALBUM CANCELLED

I am starting to wonder if he’s been shagging the dog behind her back. It was no doubt ‘quite the tease’.

 

[Tisch]

I'm still not actually sure what this song is about save for a dog licking fingers. Need a #deepdive

 

[octophone]

Love the low-key funky intro here.

 

[Iguana]

Keep An Eye On @Sheena

 

[RJN]

I'm still not actually sure what this song is about save for a dog licking fingers. Need a #deepdive

The cat was dressed up as a dog, but its swishing tail gave it away

 

[octophone]

That's cats for you. You just cannot trust the devious bastards. Which is why we love them.

 

[RJN]

"I know that this shouldn't be a traumatic event but it is" - great opening line

 

[Iguana]

Mum Spy to the rescue
