Um. Do the remakes of ABBA (as done by Erasure) count? Cause if they do, I'll have to disagree - they're part of my current wake up playlist. Mmm...techno-ABBA. :)
Oh yeah. Erasure did "Abba-esque" as an homage to Abba (you have to pronounce that right, get your French pretensions out). Catchy and techno. They even put a little bit of rap (with a Jamaican slant) into "Take a Chance on Me." Good stuff. :)
Jennifer, I have spared your husband and I will spare you.;-) I agree...a little ABBA never hurt anybody, but it is specifically Dancing Queen, in the morning, twice in a row that I found so distasteful. And where I fault the radio station is in its canned programming. I don't likes that. :-\
On the other hand, Jim and Beth got what they deserved. ;-)
Man. Fight for the rights of gay men to do remakes of music (which you're not even 100% sure you were alive when it was originally released - if you were alive, you weren't listening to the radio) with Jamaican rap and you see where it gets you? Where's the ACLU when you need 'em? Seriously, this is a cause I would think they would champion.
I believe the memo also indicated no discussions of pop culture around here. I've already violated both clauses of my own memo. :-\ I'm willing to overlook certain things.

Amen. Their playlist is stuck in the 70s. At least it's a no-repeat "workday" - they should try a no-repeat "workweek." :-)
You heard it too?! Okay, so tell me, what did they follow it up with? I'll wait...

Oh, Beth. Techno-ABBA? Say it isn't so!!
A little ABBA never killed anyone. Though I can definitely see not making a habit of it.
Brian, you're right. When I heard it come on again this morning and slammed on the brakes, nobody got killed. ;-)

Abba ROCKS!
Sorry, Jim, I'm going to have to move you to the bottom of the blogroll. I warned you this kind of thing might happen. Rules are rules. ;-)
Abba FOREVER!
At the risk of having my self dumped to the bottom with Jim, I have to say a little ABBA isn't a bad thing. But twice in the morning, uh...NO.
Wow.
Look out, Jim. She's serious.
I hope Gwynne doesn't have access to any "permanent records" or our behavior here will surely be recorded there too.

And Brian, if I had access to any permanent records, all of our lives would be different (for better or worse, I'm not sure). ;-)
No, I didn't hear the songs - I just know that canned play lists are the pits. haha, lgp

*sniff*
Oh...and...two can play at this game. ;)
Beth, I'm sure you're right. Bring on the ACLU! ;-)
Sheesh, so much for remaining apolitical around here. ;-\
Sorry - I must've missed the apolitical memo. I'll try to behave myself. :)

Phew!
Though, if you change your mind about the whole "bottom of the blogroll thing", I'm the first in line - you can take a (second) chance on me.
:)
Wait! Was that an ABBA lyric that just came out of your mouth?! If you don't mind, I think I'll leave you down there for awhile. ;-)
Mamma Mia!
I dream of Abba.
Still can't get the humming out of my head...so I made up my mind, it must come to an end...the quarantine period is almost over. ;-)
And...Eric wins!!! How did you know that was the follow up song yesterday (Rhiannon)?! I am very impressed!
And I must confess to being a fan of sorts. Does that send me to the bottom of your blogroll? 8-}
Whew! That's a relief. I would never penalize anyone for their musical taste. No. Uh-huh. Never. ;-)
Yes, Eric, Stevie is a musician. Singer. Songwriter. Oh, never mind. Men. Sheesh. ;-)
Fleetwood Mac? You like Fleetwood MAC?!!!
Oy.
Well, I don't worship them, or anything. 8-}
