What Abba never mentioned is that Dancing Queen is really a figurehead position. All the real power is in the hands of Dancing Parliament.
@Geekysteven I’ve always felt this. And what about the Dancing Gouverneur General in the Commonwealth?
@Geekysteven The real question is : Do they have to change the name and lyrics to “Dancing King” with the ascension of King Charles?
@CautionWIP @Geekysteven ABBA is Swedish. At the time the monarch of Sweden was King Carl XVI Gustaf (still reigning). Is he the real “Dancing Queen”?
@Geekysteven @max You raise an interesting question. If the members of Abba were gay, I’d wonder if it was one of those “everybody in the community knows” things where they were saying the king is gay, but they’re not, and didn’t really become a part of gay culture until well after Dancing Queen came out. So despite what delightful gossip it would be, I don’t buy that.
@Geekysteven George Clinton and the Mothership!
@Geekysteven Also, if she’s only 17 shouldn’t she have a Dancing Regent?
@Geekysteven Well would you put a 17 year old in charge of the dancing?
@Geekysteven the very existence of a Dancing Queen suggests the possible existence of a Dancing Duke
