Please, not ABBA!

[Henry M]

Waterloo is bad, but the theme song of that movie was DANCING QUEEN. 
I actually had the misfortune to hear that song at a disco during 
that there disco period: boy, what a candy-coated nasty-pill, eg 
"Looking for another, any one will do..." Sounds like a preying 
mantis in heat song. Hold me back!
