Yeah of course I’ll sing, what are we doing?

 

Given that house music is the only house even that I have even the slightest chance of contributing anything to, as ever I wanted to do whatever I can. My house, Lee, has no one that can sing, so I said that I’ll do it, whatever we were doing. Which brings us to our lesson of the day:

Don’t agree to something before you know what you’re agreeing to!

Now, before this month, I had never heard an ABBA song all the way through. I had no intention to. To be honest, when I asked the question, “So what are we doing?”, not only was ABBA the last thing that I was expecting, it was probably the last thing I wanted.

You may be thinking, but which ABBA song? They have so many classic hits! Well you lucky people, it’s not just one song, but a medley of their greatest hits. Greatest, here, being used in a completely ironic way.

I hate to admit this, but having gotten to know the ABBA hits, I have actually started to like them. They aren’t that bad, hardly Lennon/McCartney, but they’re quite good. And Does your Mother Know is a class song, mainly as it’s used in Johnny English.

Now I’m used to them, I’m not actually averse to singing them for house music. There are definitely worse things to be doing (They were threatening to do the Pokémon theme at one point), and it’ll be a laugh.

I am, however, slightly apprehensive about standing up in front a room of 400 people, most of whom know me, and singing

“Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight!”
