Swedish supergroup ABBA, in Spanish.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear. In the next life, I wish to be reborn as Benny Andersson (he's the second from the left in this photo). It's not because I long for the riches and fame that go with being an international pop star, or even so I could get to pose for pictures wearing silly purple jumpsuits, although those are both nice fringe benefits. No, it's so I could, if even for a short time, be married to my idol, Frida. Ah, Frida. While the other boys were fixated on cutesy blonde Agnetha, it was you, the sultry dark-haired member of ABBA, who became the object of my teenage fantasies. Your smile, so beautiful and sincere. Your eyes, so delicate and inviting. And oh, your voice, exotic and sexy, like a thousand golden angels on reverb pumping through my cheap Panasonic speakers at maximum volume. I'd give every record I own just to spend a moment near you. True, you eventually became a freak with big hair and painted-on eyebrows, but I loved you just the same. Anyway, here's a record of ABBA songs recorded in Spanish, which is a pretty clever trick when you consider that the members of the group regularly recorded in four languages besides their native Swedish. Talk about bending over backwards to cater to us lazy Americans. |

Mamma Mia (MP3) | You can really here Frida's voice coming through on this version of Mamma Mia. |
Reina Danzante (MP3) | Yep, it's their #1 hit, Dancing Queen, in Spanish. |

says: I used to like Abba when they were popular, but never really appreciated the band until I spent an evening at Frank's apartment watching their videos. It was surreal and fun. I'll never appreciate them the way all of you do, but who doesn't love to sing along to Dancing Queen? (04-19-2009)
