Putin is a weird little communist freak.

I thought he seemed a little light in the Valenkis.

I wondered if he was most interested in hearing (in private): Dancing Queen, or Take a Chance on Me...

But the surreal atmosphere didnt stop Björn Again from putting on a show dazzling enough to move the usually stone-faced Prime Minister Putin to burst into song during the band's rendition of Honey Honey, according to Robb. He's really putting the pink back into pinko.

I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul see he was a Dancing Queen.

I absolutely hate ABBA.
Several years ago, I had to sit through 30 minutes of an ABBA cover band at Busch Gardens.
Thought my head was going to explode.
How did a group with basically one bad song become so popular?
To: WesternCulture
Was it Putin or Jeff Spicoli who was rewarded with a large amount of money for saving Brooke Shields from drowning and and then blew it all by hiring Van Halen to play at his birthday?
Perhaps someone out there who went to Ridgemont High can tell me?

Hah! I bet when he’s at home alone, he cranks up Dancing Queen, dons his boas and heels and pretends he’s in Mamma Mia!

“How did a group with basically one bad song become so popular?”
- Although ABBA only had one #1 hit on the Billboard list, they were actually rather popular in some parts of Europe and also in Australia at that time.
Speaking of bands doing covers, at least ABBA didn’t reach the top of the Billboard by recycling the works of other composers like a certain other Swedish group, namely Blue Swede, did (Hooked on a feeling was written by Mark James in 1969):

Forgive my ignorance in this matter,BUT what the heck is a cover band? Is it a imitation band? I thought Abba said they would never ever perform live again.

Wonder if Putin and his "buddies" were wearing these outfits and hats?

- My (bottom to top) top 5 in this department:
5. Swedish-Norwegian ABBA Seafood (the products of this comparatively large company suck compared to those of their small, family-owned competitors on the Swedish west coast)
4. ABBA lyrics
3. The music of ABBA
2. The beauty of Jessica Alba
1. The beauty of Swedish women:
