#abba gold was one of three albums that i consider the soundtrack to my childhood

[cockringhoratio]

cy which abba songs would you karaoke (don't say 'all of them' you, me, and the haiku bot reading this all know that's lazy)

kelsey this is literally the greatest ask ive ever gotten and i cant wait to share all my bad opinions on abba where anyone with taste can see them and judge me.

So. my Go To ABBA song, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), also known as the greatest abba song ever written, is obviously at the top of this list. i will start (badly) belting out this song at even the slightest provocation. no holds bared, all out, getting the lyrics wrong, dont even care, instant party. you can play this song and ill fuckin come like flies to honey no joke. it is an Anthem and a Banger and a Bop all in one and i die every time what a fuckin song.

then obvi next is Take A Chance On Me bc TAKE A CHANCE TAKE A CHANCE TAKEATAKEACHANCHANCE TAKE A CHANCE TAKE A CHANCE TAKEATAKEACHANCHANCE IF YOURE ALLLLL ALONE! WHEN THE PRETTY BIRDS HAVE FLOWN! HONEY IM STILL FREE! TAKE A CHANCE ON ME! honestly despite the love and adoration i have for gimme gimme gimme the amount of Enthusiasm i put into my performance of this song is unparalleled. its just so much fun man like you cant not be hype listening to this song it gets you hype no matter what

next is Does Your Mother Know….. this song is like inextricably linked with the mamma mia scene in my mind…. but like its another really hype song like you wanna dance yknow? and what fun is dancing if youre not contributing some off key vocals at the same time like??????

then we got Lay All Your Love On Me. idk this song is just so Dramatique™ yknow??? it just lends itself to pointless posturing and melodramatic lipsyncing. experience is increased fiftyfold if you have someone to direct all your ridiculous antics at. i usually go for my cat but thats a personal preference.

then Voulez-Vous. very very fun to yell. i like songs that you can yell. esp when im driving. this is an Excellent song to yell while driving. it significantly enhances the experience, also its very repetitive so you arent draining too much brain power from the car driving part.

Dancing Queen. i am still Incredibly offended that no one sang this to me on my 17th birthday. or the day before my 18th birthday when i heavily hinted that it would be everyones last chance to sing it to me. smh. fake friends.

and then theres this weird song What About Livingstone. i cant really explain this one…. my dad likes it a lot and when he found his old tapes with this song on them he was so freakin happy and he played them all the time and this song kind rubbed off on me. i dont actually know any of the words xcept like half of the chorus but ive never let minor details like that stop me before

Waterloo. knowin my fate is to be with you. WHOAOAOAOA waterloo. thats all.

then Money, Money, Money. youre a fucking liar if you try to say you dont like singing this song. its got anti capitalism and spite what the fuck more can you possibly want out of a song? also that weird aaaahhhhhh part in the chorus is lots of fun too.

I Am The City….. another weird one from my dad lol. i never remember the name of it but when i see it on like tracklists and stuff its like *laser shaq eyes* THAT ONE. its a nice little bop too but those high vocals are killer ive never once in my life tried to sing it in anything other than the most godawful caterwauler i can muster

and last on the list of ABBA Songs I Would Preform On Stage In Front Of Drunk Strangers is Eagle cuz you gotta have atleast one weird trippy hippie song on the list. also it gives me the same vibe as dreamweaver and anything that has the same vibe as that absolute gem of a song is aces in my book.

anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk if you disagree with me youre wrong bc there is literally no better abba song than gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight and i can prove it with my fist
