A Month Of... Working On The Chain Gang...

Staying simple, we go from Queen to ABBA and "Dancing Queen"...

ABBA

A Month Of... Wining & Dining...

Don't want jam on your sandwich? How about "Honey Honey" from ABBA?

Born To Rock...

Nov. 15th, 1945 - Anni-Frid Lyngstad , best known as Frida Lyngstad, one quarter (and one of the female half) of ABBA, was born...

Here's ABBA with "Knowing Me, Knowing You" (ah-ha! (sorry, just had to))...

And thanks to Lou (aka as the above huntylch) for the tip-off about DailyMotion having videos that you can embed when YouTube doesn't let you!

Triple treat for a Friday...

Apr. 25th, 1945 - Stu Cook, bass guitarist with Creedence Clearwater Revival, is born... and I've got to feature "Bad Moon Rising", because it is just a fantastic song...

And another chance for a ABBA / Erasure double whammy, because also born today in 1945 was Björn Ulvaeus (a B in ABBA... you pick which one), and in 1964 on 25th Apr., Andy Bell from Erasure was born (ooo... spooky coincidence or what?)... So you get the following 2 links:

ABBA: Voulez Vous
Erasure: Voulez Vous

There was plenty of choices for today's birthday greetings - April 25th must have been a good date for musical talent!

Born To Rock...

Apr. 5th, 1950 - Agnetha Fältskog (one of the "A"s of ABBA) is born... So (and I hope this is right), "Har den äran, Agnetha!"

Here are ABBA, with "Take A Chance On Me"...

And a link to the same song done by Erasure from their "Abba-esque EP", since I can't watch the original video any more without seeing Vince & Andy camping it up!
