Title: ABBA
Post by: wjp666 on July 10, 2008, 03:02:44 pm: i was listening to dermot o'leary on radio 2 a few days ago (hey, the cd player in my car's broken, okay!) and a cover verion of ABBA's Super Trouper came on. it was 'unplugged' and sang by a soft voiced female artist. has anyone got any idea who it is becasue i'm dying to get hold of it now.

i know this is a long shot, but hey. any ideas would be helpful.

Was it this recording?
It says on his site that he played this one.

Post by: oldspice on July 11, 2008, 09:41:47 am: I am not an ABBA fan, despite people thinking I should be because of my age. I find them a bit over-produced and just too jolly perfect. I like a bit of guts to my music. Still, I have to admit they were enormously talented.

Post by: paulham on July 11, 2008, 02:41:00 pm: I appreciate them more now than I did in my youth. The simply were not cool for a young boy to like.

Post by: paulham on July 11, 2008, 08:17:17 pm: Just before you reached middle age dear. ;D

Post by: loulou on July 11, 2008, 09:32:14 pm: you are older than me
Title: Re: ABBA
Post by: bounty hunter on July 11, 2008, 09:48:08 pm: Yes, Paulham sounds older than Loulou.
Title: Re: ABBA
Post by: paulham on July 11, 2008, 09:52:18 pm: Oh yes, I am years older than Lou.
Title: Re: ABBA
Post by: loulou on July 12, 2008, 12:38:00 am: But young at heart. Pham only sounds older than me because he is more sensible.

Title: Re: ABBA
Post by: oldspice on July 12, 2008, 09:58:13 am: Having said I like my music with a bit of guts, and that I don't like it to sound too perfect I must admit to rather liking a couple of Carpenters tracks - especially Rainy Days and Mondays and For All We Know. Strange that.

Post by: loulou on July 12, 2008, 12:47:12 pm: I'm not thick . I just don't take things too seriously.
Title: Re: ABBA
Post by: bounty hunter on July 13, 2008, 08:38:25 am: No you're not thick - far from it. I think it's important to have a lighter side.

Post by: smurfboy on July 14, 2008, 02:13:03 pm: Has anyone been to see Mamma Mia yet?
Title: Re: ABBA
Post by: loulou on July 14, 2008, 06:46:47 pm: No and I'm not going. After seeing clips of Meryl Streep attempting to sing I fear my ears won't be able to cope.
Title: Re: ABBA
Post by: paulham on July 14, 2008, 07:39:13 pm: What about Pierce Brosnan making a twat of himself?

I mean in his acting career in general and that "mens" face cream specifically.
He wouldn't last 30 seconds on that pool table.

Title: Re: ABBA
Post by: oldspice on July 17, 2008, 07:52:10 pm: My daughter, home for a few days, dragged me off to see Mama Mia last night. It's totally INSANE! It's really, really mad but hysterically funny. The music has been re-worked and sounds much better than the original (I think i't because they haven't used so many synthesisers). It's as funny as Blazing Saddles.

Post by: goldencup on July 17, 2008, 11:10:16 pm: I saw it too and thought it was brilliant. Unlike Sex and the City which I found quite boring - nowhere near as good as the programme.
