The ABBA fandom is filled with middle aged men who should have stopped obsessing over ABBA 20 years ago, and teeny boppers who's seemingly sole purpose in life is to squee over Bjorn's chest hair. Over at ABBA Site the various memebers occasionally clash over who is the best ABBA fan, or what musically group is ripping off ABBA's 'genius'. The current hot topic is over Madonna's new single 'Hung Up' which samples part of ABBA's song 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A man after midnight)'.
abba-liciousfanatic makes a post saying: He/She/It doesn't think highly of Madonna for using a sample of Gimme x 3
rhythmotronic steps in and says: "Get real! The world is not turning around ABBA. Maybe it did a few decades ago, but not anymore. And no artist has ever done better than Madonna."
gparker tells the OP to read more topics on the subject of 'Hung Up', "THEN make an INFORMED comment." and carribean tells the OP to "Please just add your point at one of the countless other topics!" gparker goes on to inform caribbean that talking about ABBA is better than talking about Agnetha and Frida's hair, and caribbean agrees but states again that "why do we keep on talking about her single here over and over again in many many topics???!!!"
Anton226 enters the thread saying: "Basically, Madonna is a singer who isn’t very good at singing; therefore I don`t see the point in respecting her music.", and gparker snipes back that: "Yes Anton - but Madonna`s not sampling YOUR music so not many people would care that you don`t like her singing voice or respect her music right????" and Anton226 fires back that, "She’s only ripped Gimme Gimme Gimme off because she wants to make money and realises that Abba tunes are a far better money making proposition, than anything her or her producers could come up with by themselves."
Tiger-Soren wonders "What have some of you people been eating for dinner tonight? Sour grapes? Is it bitterness that Madonna has achieved twice as many UK Top 10 hits as ABBA?" followed carribean posting (once more) "Hung Up is catchy but do we have to discuss this here over and over again?? Too many Madonna topics..."
Small for now, but it was growing as I typed up the report!
*is excited got to use Agnetha/Frida icon*
