ABBA "Dancing Queen"



Dancing Queen" is a hit single recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was the follow-up single to the massive hit "Fernando". Dancing Queen was written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson and is considered by many to be their signature song. Recorded in 1975 for the group's album Arrival, and released as a single the following year with "That's Me" as the B-side. It reached the No.1 position on the popular music charts in 13 countries. "Dancing Queen" features the shared lead vocal performance by Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Its opening keyboard glissando is one of the most instantly recognizable intros in pop music.

"Money, Money, Money" is the name of a song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA in 1976, and is included on the group's album Arrival. The song also features on the ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits compilation, and in the musical Mamma Mia!. "Money, Money, Money" was the second worldwide hit from the Arrival album. It continued the mass hysteria in Australia, staying at No.1 for six weeks (ABBA's sixth and final chart-topper in that country). The track also topped the charts in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, West Germany, Mexico and New Zealand, and reached the Top 3 in Norway, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria and the UK. Together with Pink Floyd's track "Money", ABBA's "Money, Money, Money" is often used as background music on TV news programmes discussing financial issues. [Wikipedia]

The Trammps "Disco Inferno"



"Disco Inferno" is a song by The Trammps from the album of the same name. It was also notably covered by Cyndi Lauper on the A Night at the Roxbury soundtrack and Tina Turner on the What's Love Got To Do With It? soundtrack. The song was originally performed by the Trammps in 1976 and released as a single. Although it topped the U.S. Disco chart, it was not a significant success at pop radio, peaking at number fifty-three on the Billboard Hot 100. According to famed mixer Tom Moulton (who mixed the record), the levels had been set wrong during the mixdown of the tracks, resulting in a much wider dynamic than was commonly accepted at the time. Due to this the record seems to "jump out" at the listener. "Disco Inferno" gained much greater recognition once it was included on the soundtrack to the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever. Re-released by Atlantic Records, the track peaked at number eleven in the U.S. during the spring of 1978, becoming the Trammps' biggest and most-recognized single. Later, it was included in the Saturday Night Fever musical, interpreted by the 'DJ Monty' in the "Odissey 2001" discotheque. On September 19, 2005, "Disco Inferno" was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame. [Wikipedia]
