I was watching the TV news and each day they do a segment called 'pop news'.

Every time I have watched it, they never mention Pepsi, Sprite, Dr. Pepper etc. All they talk about are these people I never heard of, doing things I don't care about. What's up with that?

    So I could ask my stupid question. I actually switch over to 'Sports Center'.

    And I'd then switch over to M's "Pop Muzik"

    :)

    I have always liked that song. It reminds of another funky tune.

    Yes!!! I love that song, too!

    Both of those songs are unlike others to me. We have good taste, ha. For some reason my favorite part of the song is "Your bars . . . your temples . . . '   :)
    I really like the way Head sings it.

    If you like "One Night in Bangkok," I assume you already know that the two guys from ABBA wrote that song (and they wrote the stage musical "Chess," from which this song comes).

    It was a while before I realized it, too. I haven't seen "Chess" but I have a recording of the entire show. As much as I like ABBA, I'm not surprised I like the show, too.


    Makes me want to go listen to "When All Is Said and Done," my favorite ABBA tune (it's not in "Chess").

    Off-topic: I have no desire to see these shows and movies based on ABBA tunes - - I can't even remember the names of the movies and shows - - I know Meryl Streep, whom I like, is in one of the movies. For me, there's nothing like the four original ABBA members, together, for me. I don't want to hear other people singing the tunes, ha. (Even though there are countless covers of songs by many artists and groups which I like, even when I like the originals.)

    Somehow, with ABBA, it'd be like hearing other people sing The Mamas and The Papas' tunes- - there is no group like The Mamas and The Papas for me; no one sounds like them - - those four, together, created way more than magic for WelbyQ.

    That one always reminds me of this one - not only the spoken lyrics, but also the German thing ...

    I like that one a lot, too!  :)
    Good to hear it again!

    I have that entire album/CD/whatever they're called now -- and I never saw the music video nor saw what the group looked like.
    Yeah, I find the lead singer sort of handsome - - the understated performance and humor of the video I find appealing, too.
    :)
