I'm not a big Abba fan, but I like a few of their songs. So I was browsing iTMS Music Videos and came across this.

My sister had problems with the link, you may need to switch to the France iTMS (it may work with something else other than France).

Wtf?

Lol, you noticed that too as well. I was like "Cher? What the hell."

Did that. I am currently at work - I guess its possible they've blocked the video as they've blocked a few other things. All of the ABBA songs listed under video played the music selection but no video

Have to wait another 8 hours until I get home

That was great! It's nice to see when a group can laugh at itself, and ABBA seems to have that gift. Cher was not the only cameo-ABBA was there in several shots, including the group that gets off the elevator at the end.

And of course the chit chat in the outer office between the people waiting was all ABBA lyrics.

Frankly they NAILED 1974! Wow! That was awonderful laugh!

Much as I love ABBA, those puppets were just too hard to watch.

Finally got to see the video - looks like the British show "Spitting Image"

I think the people on the couch were members of one of the Bjorn Again bands. Are there versions of Bjorn Again (or do they tour) outside of the UK and Australia?

Well, it was just lots of fun and I can only HOPE to be around when Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Avril Lavigne and Alicia Keys become revered musical legends and come out with a fun little video that some of your kids or grandkids watch and go, "too weird."

Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?
