I Enjoy ABBA

I really hate living in a world where being a dude means that I have to sneak my love for ABBA around like I'm smuggling immigrants across the border into Guyville. They're just so perky and awesome and mega-drama, but their music basically melts your penis off and makes you a pseudo-sexual disco diva with shiny pants if you listen to too much of it. Or at least that's the prevailing wisdom. Really it just makes you a little more bouncy and into hot Swedish chicks (or ugly Swedish dudes), but nobody wants to hear that. They want to hear about dancing queens and lip gloss and asses exploding sparkles into the air like a mushroom cloud called "so fabulous."

Whatever. I'm here to say it loud, say it proud, I'm a (basically) straight dude that's totally into ABBA and I'm not ashamed to admit it!!! Power to the C-dog!!! Suck it, nerds.

Anyhoo... the video up top is white hot. They're all fur coats and breaking up and doing that Ingmar Bergman thing where one person faces forward and the other overlaps them in profile. This song makes my feet cold because my socks have been blown off and and are currently flapping down the street.

How can you not dig ABBA? They're fun like Pop Rocks on a rainy day!
