Flame Me If You Want... But I STILL LOVE ABBA


Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia are two of my most favorite songs.

1. Its ok, you'll survive
It's not fatal but it is a social disability.

Fernando.




And no, I'm not gay. There is nothing "gay" about ABBA, except some of the people enjoying the music are truly gay.

3. Of course you do. It's in the Gay handbook!
We'd take away your fashion sense if you didn't and kick you out! :D

I love em too! Fernando is one of my fav's.

4. Alright! Alright!
I admit it too... a few songs still get me.

And I'm straight. Or should I start wondering?

12. Mamma Mia!
I loved this show too. The plot's so thin, it could have been written on a cocktail napkin, but it's still loads of fun!

on edit: bad link. See instruction below on how to get to ABBA!


EAGLE

(B.Andersson/B.Ulvaeus)

They came flying from far away, now I'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings

Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real? Is it true I'm an eagle?
Is it true I can spread my wings?
Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
(I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings

Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
(I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
(I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

14. Try this one and type in
Eagle on the seach screen. When a bunch of eagle songs come up, click on Abba.

This site is a nightmare trying to get the urls!

16. Super Trouper


Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

23.  Liked them. Didn't. Then liked them again.
Long, long ago, but not in a galaxy far away.... I used to listen to ABBA all the time. Too much. One day I went off them.
Of course, my tape cassette was worn pretty ragged, too. About twenty years later, I caught a couple tunes on the radio,
resparking my old enjoyment. At the same time, I saw their Gold CD on sale. We're back together again. Only now I temper my indulgence.

24. ABBA's great!
Heck I love all sorts of pop music. I'm even an Air Supply fan. And the sad thing is, I'm only 23 years old!
