On and on and on - Abba

I was at a party and this fella said to me
Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights
I said, Who are you to talk about impending doom?
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, I'm a minister, a big shot in the state
I said, I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great
Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?
He said, Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone

Over in the corner I could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye
So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me
He said, Who am I and who are you and who are we?
What's our situation, do we have some time for us?
I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus
He said, If you're going somewhere can I come along?
I said, Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone

[Extra Video Verse]
Standing up is scary if you think you're gonna fall
Like a Humpty Dumpty, 'fraid of falling off the wall
I say if you ever want to know what's going on
Gotta keep on rockin baby till the night is gone

우와 노래 느낌이 상당히 신선하게 느껴집니다.

 

굉장히 특이한 멜로디를 가지고 있는 느낌이라고 해야 할까요?

왠지 정석 노래만 불렀을 것 같은 'ABBA'인데 말이죠.

 

이건 마치 요즘에 유행을 하는 노래 같습니다.

 

기계음이 아닌데도 기계음같이 느껴지는?!

 

 

 

도입부에 살짝 감정 없이 부르는 부분의 경우,

 

마치 [장기하와 얼굴들]이 얼핏 떠오르게 됩니다.

 

확실히 당시 유행을 주도한 그룹 답다는 생각이.

 

'ABBA'에게 이런 노래가 있다니 정말 신.기 합니다.

 

아무래도 제가 생각한 아바와는 확실히 다른 느낌?!

 

 

요 근래 아바의 노래를 소개하면서 계속 깜짝깜짝 놀라는 것 같아요.

 

제가 생각을 했던 '아바'의 모습은 그저 한 부분이었으니까요.

 

이렇게 다양하고, 또 다양한 모습을 가지고 있는 그룹이었다니!

 

그 동안 팬이라면서 자세히 모른 제가 나쁜 놈이죠 ㅠ.ㅠ 으헝헝

 

신선한 느낌의 'ABBA' - [on And on And on]이었습니다.
