Joy has been sick the past couple of days, so I was doing the ironing earlier tonight. I always iron in the family room because that’s where the stereo is and I like to listen to music while ironing so that I don’t go crazy (ironing is not exactly my favorite activity). I started out listening to A Fine Frenzy, but by the time I got a little more than half way through the album (there was a lot of ironing) I decided it was just too melodramatic, and I needing something livelier. So I started scrolling through the music collection and Abba was at the top of the list. Perfect. Nothing says “ironing fun” like a little bit of Dancing Queen, right? And for some reason I also really like Take A Chance On Me, The Winner Takes It All, and Does Your Mother Know (one of their rare songs with male lead vocals).
A lot of Abba music is just FUN! (Especially when it’s sung by dogs.) Which reminds me, I know “Arooo) was from I Do, I Do, I Do, but Becca was wondering which song gave us B-O-N-E????

Sigh…. Abba. :) Your parents raised you right! ;) The other day Matt asked me, “So, how do you know so many Abba songs again?” hehe

If I remember correctly, B-O-N-E was a tremendous stretch from the Abba song S.O.S.
“So when you’re near me,
Darling can’t you hear me,
S.O.S.
The love you gave me,
Nothing else can save me,
S.O.S.”

I was wondering if that’s what it came from. At my current age of maturity, it seemed pretty impossible — but then again, when my crazy buttons get pushed, you never know what will happen.
It’s a VERY happy memory! Thanks for helping us clear that up!!
Love, Mom
