I'm with Gary on this I listen To whatever songs are played on Radio or TV for that matter. I think it great, over here at the moment ABBA is getting a lot of play on one particular Radio Station.

A couple of times they have played at least 5 ABBA recordings back to back no commercials and lately ABBA's The Piper is getting played a lot.

So As I said I never tire of it.

:wink:

True enough- but it didn't fit Joe's definition of a song that I like but get sick of. I never liked Move On to begin with......... :P

I tried, though, Ron. Really, I did........ :oops: :lol:

Believe it or not, but sometimes I get sick of Dancing Queen. ''Oh you mean that song sung by that group.. Ehm, ABBA wasn't it? They won Eurovision Songcontest with some song... Waterloo isn't it?''

:wrath: Mind you all: nót The Winner Takes It All! :lol: Or else I'm going to be very angry! Another one than... For some reason, I always skip I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do. I've never liked that song really, and to be honest: it's a bit the same with Fernando and Chiquitita. More or less two of their most favourite songs, but anyway.

So you actually like these?
Because that is what this topic is about: songs you like but still skip at times.
Good to see you like I Have A Dream and Fernando!

:rotfl2:

I can relate to that. I really like the song but sometimes I skip it, just take her in my arms and sing "you'll be dancing once again, and the pain will end, sing a new song Chiquitita!" to her. :lol:

Another song I like but can get on my nerves if I'm not in the mood is "Summernight City".

I live in an ABBA-free zone, Gill, so I don't have that problem here......... :lol: ANY time ABBA is played on the radio (which is always DQ anyway) I go crazy.........

It sounds "forced" to me, as in that IMO it doesn't come naturally to her. I would have preferred Frida to sing that, actually........

Well, I agree with you, but then Frida had a prominent role in the clip hehe!

The good news is that ABBA offered us so many songs of differing moods that if you play them round and round, by the time you're back at number one, it's a song you yearn for - not tire of. My car only holds six CDs, so that's less than 100 songs. I do skip a couple songs I don't like, but I never skip the ones I like. Occasionally, I skip ahead to one I want to hear at the time, but they usually just play round and round, and when it's back to CD1 TR1, I'm ready to go again. :D

I can undertand the comments about DQ, but I believe it's an over-reaction to it being popular with "non-believers" when there's so much more to ABBA. True believers loathe to be identified with "those people". :fight:

I'd never skip TWTIA; it's Agnetha's opus. :love4: Actually, now it comes up twice, and I impatiently wait for it. :excited: I also anxiously wait for Frida's Andante, Andante. :kiss:

Skippiing songs that you like is one symptom of ABBA-addiction, which is an incurable malady affecting ordinary people of all sexes and ages. Some have tried listening to other artists to recover balance, but they always return to ABBA. I'm currently listening to Hayley Westenra as therapy. 8) Fantastic voice, unfortunately, except for the words, all the songs have the same plaintive sound. I already feel drawn back to ABBA. :wink:

So if I'm reading this right, it seems to me that depending on who you are and your own indiviual tastes, every song at one time another whether you like it or not eventually grates on one's nerves either permanently or temporarily....(lol)

My 2 cents worth: It totally depends on my mood. And how often I've heard a specific song lately. If I'm in a good mood, I'll tend to skip the "downers" and/or slow ballads and play the upbeat ones. Vice-versa for a bad mood.

I used to DJ and still have a lot of my old tapes (yes, it was that long ago they're on cassette) and still listen to them alot. Many of them have LAYLOM on them, so if I've heard it alot lately I'll tend to skip it when listening to an ABBA cd.

Whenever I skip over Dancing Queen I justify it by saying to myself 'I'll save it for later.' It's not that I'm tired of DQ, its just that whenever I hear it at a dance it's such an awesome experience and I'm a little bit afraid of losing that feeling.
