Knowing me, knowing ABBA

How did a cheesy Scandinavian pop group in jumpsuits and blue eye shadow become as seriously beloved as the Beatles?

    WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

    TURN OFF THE ABBA!

    This crap is dammaging your brains. It will turn you into zombies. That's right. This is zombie music. You are being brainwashed!

    I can't turn on the television without a Mama Mia commercial appearing on any channel I tune in every 15 God damn minutes! It's freaking me out man. I don't know how much longer I can take it.

    ABBA sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks singing commercial jingles.

    If you people continue to listen to this it will ruin your ability to appreciate actual music. Just turn off the ABBA before it's too late. Your very sanity is at stake
