Here's another reason to love ABBA--John McCain wanted to use "Take a Chance on Me" for his campaign, but ABBA members raised holy hell and said no way!-- Sally the Werewolf
Further proof that McCain suffers from terminal old dorky white guy disease. Now I am going to have that image replaying in my head the rest of the day, of McCain ambling on stage in front of a lime-green background as Abba chants.
Take a Chance!
Take a Chance!
Take a Chance on Me!
[Staffers cringe as they realize the audience is mostly too old to have been Abba fans. McCain tries to assume a hopeful expression but ends up just looking confused as he finds it too difficult to read the teleprompter]
So much that I wanna do
when I dream I'm alone with you!
[McCain visably blushes as he comprehends for the first time the lyrics are actually inapropriate for the occassion...and worse yet, he still can't read the goddamn teleprompter]
