ABBA - Waterloo Sync Listen

[Pingu]

Feels like a year since we last did one of these.

No time for a write-up tonight but it's Waterloo! Hit play at 7, and enjoy!

 

[Tisch]

This may be the soundtrack to my ironing /

 

[Iguana]

The world pretty much ENDED between these syncs!

 

[RJN]

The world pretty much ENDED between these syncs!

And as we all know, correlation equals causation

 

[RJN]

I’ll try to make it, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to with work or not

 

[Pingu]

I’ll try to make it, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to with work or not

If it helps, it's about half the length of the last one.

 

[Tisch]

Ready ready ready... !

 

[Pingu]

I'm here I'm here!!! One moment...

 

[Iguana]

WAITING

 

[Pingu]

OK first post updated! Yay!

 

[Tisch]

Yay I predicted this one! Not tonight, but about six syncs ago

 

[Pingu]

1. Waterloo

 

[Iguana]

OH NO

 

[Tisch]

Unpopular opinion: (maybe) they seem a bit "amateur" in the Eurovision performance of this. A classiqué regardless.

 

[Tisch]

Also WHAT A SONG. A love song with the Napoleonic wars as its undercurrent? Sure!

 

[Pingu]

Oh this is happening by the way... hi @lolly @Ag @Suomi @HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid @Gangsta Nancy Lam @Jark @RJN @Suedey @Tetris-Rock @Christian

 

[Suomi]

Sitting in my palm tree sounds like Nintendo music

 

[Pingu]

2. Sitting In The Palmtree

 

[Iguana]

Sitting in my palm tree sounds like Nintendo music

It really does! Ahead of their time as ever

 

[Suomi]

It’s nice

 

[Tisch]

At least it's not about London's Waterloo...

Waterloo!
They have a big IMAX and Sailooooourrrsss

 

[Pingu]

So there is a really lovely middle-eight in this song that I only discovered about a year ago because I had always skipped it before then.

 

[Suomi]

it’s such a ‘track 2’ of an album

Omg carry my message to herpes, we love a medical tropical banger

 

[GNL]

Can't believe I missed actual Waterloo

 

[Pingu]

3. King Kong Song

 

[Tisch]

I've literally just noticed Admiral Nelson ok the front cover!

 

[Pingu]

Can't believe I missed actual Waterloo

At least you made it for King Kong Song.

 

[Tisch]

3. King Kong Song

Awful and I love it

 

[Pingu]

In an alternative universe, this would have been their lead single, and they would have been a one hit wonder who were never heard from again, but it would have been a MASSIVE hit all the same.

 

[lolly]

Sorry, forgot all about it and busy now.

 

[Suomi]

Tried listening to King Kong Song but had to listen to HerSerene’s day at work

 

[GNL]

In an alternative universe, this would have been their lead single, and they would have been a one hit wonder who were never heard from again, but it would have been a MASSIVE hit all the same.

OR it would have launched a similarly strong career but all the songs are novelty hits about going ape.

 

[Tisch]

I wonder if this was ever considered for Eurovision actually? It's so nonsense it might have actually worked in a comes 17th kind of way

 

[Pingu]

4. Hasta Manana

 

[GNL]

Tried listening to King Kong Song but had to listen to HerSerene’s day at work

No, The Day Before You Came isn't on this album

 

[Iguana]

Not exactly WINNING ME OVER so far!

 

[Pingu]

Hasta Manana genuinely was nearly considered for Eurovision. I can definitely hear it, it's much more in line with the kind of thing that did well in the early 70s.

 

[Pingu]

Also the first Agnetha sad-vox song.

 

[GNL]

Hostage Manana is very SYRUPPY.

Sounds like one of those 60s pop songs by a British school girl with a bowl cut.

 

[Suomi]

4. Hasta Manana

This is very pretty but somebody has just told me they don’t like it because of, and I quote, “the singer”
