Born To Rock...

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!

Erasure - Take A Chance On Me

The Cheese Interlude...

Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers - "Swing The Mood"...

Erasure - "Sometimes"...

Bananarama - "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye"...

and lastly (hoping you've not beaten me to any of these, Julie... but I'm at work, and can't keep checking your blog to see) - Tenpole Tudor and "Swords Of A Thousand Men"...
