Voulez Vouz....?


 
(In my defense... I was just born and hence you see... my parents did... "Naughty" title, I know... 🤣)
Only the other day I deleted a draft cause I considered it irrelevant.
I did some cleaning and with the BOSE listened to ABBA. And realized how much pressure there was and how it shows in their songs. 
 
Also one thing that keeps me thinking... How is it like for native English speakers?

I can listen to English-based music, but if I don´t want to I can just hear.
 
German music drives me nuts cause I cannot not listen.
And too often it´s stupid nonesense.
How do you cope - most music is in English after all.
 
Can you "overhear" it?
 
Yesterday... a huge docu on ABBA!
And despite all the stress and also negativity... 


 
My Dad hated modern music, but when Mum and I took off in the BMW ABBA it was.
Certainly back then I didn´t speak English, I just enjoyed the music.
 

 On Saturday nights there was ...
 

We saw it here:
 
 
(We were so poor we had to share a chair, obviously 🤣 )

Oh, Dad really did hate that show, LOL.
He was outnumbered by Mum and me, though.
 
It was an overly long docu, but very interesting. 


And now they plan to come back. 
Well, as avatars, but cool idea.

Were or are you a fan?
What is your fav song?

I cannot decide for one but the 70´s (for me at least) were wonderful times.

Free and happy for most!
That´s how I remember it, at least.
 
Funny btw. Today last year at 11:00 a.m. I had the first talk with my "new" company. On 11.11. at 11 ò clock.
That´s when... "fun" times ... carnival starts  and I answered the invitation for fun with "helau".
Turned out J and I both hate carnival and we both came home from a long holiday that very same day and had to drag our luggage through rain and all the weird drunk people cause due to the "celebrations" public transport ended at the castle.

ADDENDUM!!!! November 22nd I´ll start at Siemens, I just learned!!! Oh boy-oh-boy-oh-boy!!!!

ADDENDUM #2!!!! My Bro just pointed out:  That´s 11 days!!!
And that women are the better men. (I worked with men for 17 years and now it´s women-based).
 
Addendum #3... my T hopes job won´t start 22:22!
That´s 10:22 p.m. - and a joke, of course.

Most of the 70s music I hated. Disco stinks and as for ABBA, never cared for them.

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, Bill, they are COOL! I think ... ;-)

I was never a big Abba fan and don't think of them when I think of the 70s.

Iris Flavia said...

I grew up with them :-)
