I remeber when we had these kiddie-discos when i was 12-13, and the teachers were there, and chastise us guys for not dancing to ABBA's Dancing Queeen, but at that time, 13 yo) i was in to KiISS and Sweet. ABBA was just shit we had to sufffer, because the girls like them....
But in my yester years I come to love what I earlier hated....ABBA.
As a kid I thought, who the fuck like these "old ladies" Agneta & AnniFrid (mind you, they were in their early 20's then, 22-23) Yeah...old hags, I thought, lol.
But when I started play music for myself I, on occasion, come back to ABBA, and discovered how fuckin phenomenal Benny was in making melodies. it might sound like nickel & dime pop....but it wasnt. The "surface" was pop, but the underbelly was exceptional. He had the talent of writing pop-tunes,, but then put the base, surface, and everything that comes with it. to make the foundation of the song. If you listen to ABBA, and "scale away" the pop, the music behind it is pretty awesome, and much more than then "front".
I danced to this, and my kids did too....but I fear my grand kids might never dance to this..and its not because its not an old song they never heard, but because the country I was born into will be distorted..totally.
As I mentioned before; as kids we thought these girls was "old ladies"".
I know one of the girls who danced in this video. She said the whole class freaked out when they were chosen to be in this video, and dance.....But I cant see the girl I know in the video. They said they had to be there dancing for some 5-6 hours until the producers were satisfied they got the "right" clips.
These were the good days....we will never have them back......ever.
