BenWho wants to form a blatant ABBA ripoff band with me? We shall call ourselves BAAB. I'm Ben so I need two A's and another B (or people willing to change their name). Songs will include 'Dancing King', 'Dadda Dia', 'Möchtest Du', 'Crypto, Crypto, Crypto', 'The Victor Gains It All' and 'Stalingrad'.
Also I need a rhyme for Stalingrad other than 'dad'
vaviurka@TheBreadmonkey how about 'mighty mad', also 'Volgograd'
@vaviurka those aren't real words
tectonicStalingrad
"All for Vlad"
"It was rad"
"Lost a nad"
"The most fun I ever had"
"But it was just a fad"
Susanna the Artist 🌻@TheBreadmonkey Falling bad, like I will in platform boots.
Gin Kangaroo
Alice McFlurry 
@TheBreadmonkey I would like to point out that my name starts with an A.
@Alice Hooray! Now we just need to convince two other people - ideally with names starting with the right letter or be willing to legally change their name, some white all-in-one sparkly bodysuits, a plucky attitude and a record deal and we're gonna be RICH!
🎵Ooooh Stalingrad, couldn't defeat you you are my dad. Oooh Stalingrad promise to love you like you're my dad. 🎵
(I think we need more words that rhyme with Stalingrad aswell)
internetsdairy@TheBreadmonkey @Alice why did you make my starling sad
Genuinely read this to the tune of Mamma Mia and it really made me laugh
Kierkethumbs up convincingly@Alice @TheBreadmonkey stalingrad! I couldn’t defeat you and froze to death
This did not rhyme
I can't remember if I mentioned it's to the tune of Waterloo by ABBA
🎶 Stalingrad! Promise to love me and not get mad🎵
AlexanderVI@TheBreadmonkey @Kierkegaanks @Alice
But that's not the rhyme scheme to Waterloo.
Stalingrad!
I couldn't defeat you and froze to death.
Stalingrad!
Cold Russian winter took my last breath.
David@TheBreadmonkey @Kierkegaanks @Alice 🎶Stalingrad! Nazis defeated by Russian lads!
Stalingrad! Jude Law's a sniper, that film's not bad!
Stalingrad! Don't fight war on two fronts, that's just mad!🎶

@TheBreadmonkey @Alice neither did waterloo there
Noooooooooooo. I somehow didn't know this and looked it up and now my brain hurts. Can we get in touch with the ABBAs and get them to fix it?
Rob Vincent 🎙️@TheBreadmonkey @Kierkegaanks @Alice The ABBAs are all CGI nowadays, so you just have to hack their mainframe and change their database.

We Can Be Gyros@TheBreadmonkey I'm already writing lyrics for Stalingrad, I am in as long as there are still a lot of wispy scarves involved.
moopet@TheBreadmonkey sorry but I'm not allowed to be in another ben-centric collective
Sunanda@TheBreadmonkey Bollywood might have beaten you to it.

@TheBreadmonkey "now my life's as good as a BAAB song. It's as good as Dancing King."
Burnt Veggies@TheBreadmonkey I'm a B, but alas not really a fan of ABBA. {ducks}
John Maxwell@TheBreadmonkey Need a sound guy? Will work for being allowed to wish I were in the band.

One of the best ideas you've ever had.
Well my Screenname starts with an A.

Kim Possible 
@TheBreadmonkey first off, I am glad for the resurrection of this post from two years ago. Second, what if you created not only an Abba tribute band, but also competed with the super popular K-pop bands?
K-Bad (Kim, Ben, Alice, David) sounds either rad or cheesy. Also, I can neither sing, nor play a musical instrument. Well, a lullaby. And the triangle, maybe.
What if we all just played triangles? We just invented a new style of music. Hooray! How do we get all the kids into it? TikTok probably. We'll get whoever is popular at the moment (is it still Bonnie Tyler?) to tell all the kids that everyone is trianglin'.
FeloniousPunk@TheBreadmonkey @kimlockhartga I vote for ACAB
@FeloniousPunk @TheBreadmonkey nicely done!

@TheBreadmonkey @KevinFlynn I am dying. There is no way the crowd on FB would have gotten this joke!

Greem (Graeme. Not Graham!)@TheBreadmonkey @KevinFlynn @kimlockhartga all things being equilateral, it was a pretty good wisecrack.
@greem @TheBreadmonkey @KevinFlynn I love this place. I would go catatonic without it. Not sure how everyone else feels.
Siobhan@GenXLife @greem @KevinFlynn @kimlockhartga
Nearly missed this 🤣🤣🤣
woe2you

Everyone could have a triangle tuned to a different note like in a handbell choir.

✨Based Plant🎸Rethinking my handle bc of this 2-year-old Toot. Yes that's me.
Blandfeest?
Belandafest? That's actually quite a valid option. But, I work on I need to know basis.
I need to know first wether am I in the band? I'm a good singer and excellent songwriter. Also aspirin/starting bass player.
Basedplant, also good. I might take that on anyway actually. I quite like it, thank you for Pump Thing.

I'd be all in for that but how would we practice? The travel expenses would be kind of rough.

Maybe I could handle telepathy, but my guitar can't. Maybe I'll just send my birb.

@TheBreadmonkey I'm an "A" and a bassist, but I don't really sing. Sigh.
bazkie 👩🏼💻 bitplanes 🎵@arisummerland @TheBreadmonkey I'm a B and when I sing, people run away, which is the opposite of what they did with ABBA, so that's fitting, right?
