It's ABBA day!
The Winner Takes It All was ABBA's last top 10 hit in the US, peaking in March 1981. It's one of their biggest hits, out of a long long list of great songs.
Why do I like it? This is my favorite ABBA song, which is saying a lot as I love them all. I like everything about it (except the key, which is a bit low for me). Meryl Streep did a fabulous job with it in the movie version of Mamma Mia.
About my version - Lots of words! I skipped a line at some point, due to being distracted by my oldest cat, who makes a cameo appearance at the end of the video. As I said above, this is a low key for me, but I would do it again for karaoke night for sure, since a microphone could amplify the lower notes. I never realized this song was so long either! But I still love it, even if my performance was somewhat lacking. 7/10
Tomorrow - There will be dancing, most likely. I actually know exactly what I'm singing - no 80's countdown is complete without this one!
if you do Come On Eileen tomorrow, I insist that you place a photo of Madame Eileen Saddler French behind you! And the cat today makes up for the lack of cosh-tume
ReplyDeleteI looked for something to wear to represent "the coshtume of Frida" but had nothing ABBA-rific enough!
