Choice cover version

WARNING: CONTAINS TRACES OF CHRIS EVANS

 

[octophone]

Don't like the Madonna version - too rigid.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Anyway that was lovely. Just off for a crywank.

 

[lolly]

And this is genuinely lovely. Vocals by Viktoria Tolstoy (great great grand daughter, apparently). Please don't be put off by 'funky ABBA' in the still.

I quite like some of Funky ABBA.

100 fewer posts than Britney. I'll take that Tragi-ArtPop is never going to be for ALL QUEENS.

 

[octophone]

ooh, the Tolstoy one is lovely - disturbed by the picture tho' "Funky Abba"? With a pointing moose?

The baseline is the Bowie one that didn't get to 2 pages!

It’s horrible. Hopefully B&B got the heavies in and told her that she wasn’t allowed to release it

 

[dmlaw]

I'm willing to consider any 'When All Is Said And Done' cover version that doesn't feature vocals by Pierce Brosnan.

To be fair, that was just the two of us. I think we can beat it if we do go for 'Dark Side of the Moon' at some point.

 

[Zu]

Diamanda Galás ‘Schrei X’ sync listen next week then, @octophone?

Cocks are for my arse etc etc...

I'll pop it on the list for Drunk Sync Listens. That way Penelope will just start it out of nowhere and it'll be a pleasant surprise.

Having had a BRIEF listen, it does resemble what I imagine Pen's inner monolouge sounds like.

 

[lolly]

I know exactly what my inner monologue sounds like. Seriously. It's the intro to 'We Share Our Mother's Health' by The Knife.

 

[Zu]

Oh God the mere idea of that on REPEAT!

 

[Penelope]

Five seconds in and isn't it JUST?

 

[lolly]

Oh God the mere idea of that on REPEAT!

When I'm feeling relatively WELL I can hardly bear to listen to it. It almost causes physical pain. But perversely, when I'm having a bit of an episode I find it oddly soothing. I think it somehow NEUTRALISES my MENTAL NERVES

 

[Zu]

Five seconds in and isn't it JUST?

Have you indulged in CUNT yet AS ‘T WERE?

 

[Penelope]

CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER

 

[Zu]

Oh I AM pleased! Is it a POLL?

 

[Penelope]

Is it a POLL?

NO love it's a POLE

 

[Penelope]

Have you indulged in CUNT yet AS ‘T WERE?

TUT - SPOILERS mum!

 

[Zu]

I’m definitely more Patricia Pole (or BARBARA BELARUS) than I am Dorothy Room when it comes to that peaky inner monologue

 

[Lucille]

I was strangely drawn to CUNT as my first track!

 

[VoR]

Missed this, but I replayed it this week anyway.

I think Soldiers might be my all-time favourite ABBA vocal arrangement.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Just saying but Twitter did Shed Seven.
