Tin roof... justice.

(I would've voted ABBA though)

one month passes...

Love Abba, but they never wrote anything as ferocious as "Private Idaho" (although "S.O.S" comes close).

My favourite Abba song was always this one:

I think it is an outlier in their oeuvre. So much punch, so much drive, almost a punk song from 1973. After that it was all downhill.

I love 'Ring Ring', it's one of my karaoké hits! Wouldn't say it went anywhere downhill after though. 'Bang-A-Boomerang' also has plenty of punch and drive. This band, even their lesser known singles would be another band's classics.

"Private Idaho" is such a dope song

First five seconds of "Ring Ring" could be a Blondie song.
