#TeamTrainwreck 22: Every dark cloud has a pewter lining!

[rfisher]

I love to able to sing and dance along during the skate.

 

[Jeschke]

ABBA songs seem like the epitome of a #teamtrainwreck soundtrack:

The day before you came
Dancing Queen
Take a chance on me
I have a dream
Lay all your love on me
Knowing me, knowing you
The winner takes it all
Under attack
Head over heels
Slipping through my fingers
SOS
Waterloo
When all is said and done
...

 

[Vagabond]

Boss, you forgot "Waterloo," which would be ideal music for someone's -POTS.

ABBA is definitely the epitome of a #teamtrainwreck soundtrack.

Add Honey Honey to the list.

ETA: trying to guess which skater is courageous enough to take it on, someday.

 

[Jeschke]

Awesome shot of Khuda!
Can't wait for the debut!

I was a skeptic but they look good together, excited to see their programs.

 

[Jeschke]

Speaking of ABBA.
I found hidden footage of Adoniev-trainings-camp, last time we had a secret #ttw meeting on Fiji islands

I am curious about the music now

 

[Vagabond]

She named "Dancing Queen" and "The Winner Takes It All"; there may be others.

I love a good ABBA medley but those two songs are about the most unoriginal choices she could go for.

This is figure skating — the more unoriginal the better! Just be glad it wasn’t Carmen!

I agree. I actually don't mind Dancing Queen in there too much, because I feel like it hasn't been used much in figure skating! Can't think of any non-exhibition Dancing Queen programs. However, I still have PTSD from that depressing cover of The Winner Takes it All that Mirai and others hoisted upon us.

Mikhailova had a really good mix a couple years back ('Head Over Heels', 'Thank You for the Music', and 'Money Money Money'):

Butyrskaya had a good one as pro too, I think she had 'Money Money Money' in there as well along with 'Voulez Vous' and 'The Winner Takes it All'. Can't find the video for that one.

I am a sucker for the chorus of 'Lay all your love on me' and 'Thank you for the music', but as we won't get those for sure, I am so in for 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!'

How quickly you forget Mikhailova! She used 'Thank You for the Music'. I love 'Lay All Your Love on Me' so much, but listening to it I feel like it would be challenging to skate to.

I think Dancing Queen/Thank You for the Music/Gimme Gimme would make the most sense. I'll edit it tonight!

Also, now Leonova is practicing her Kalinka program on instagram.

Every day Perky through the Ages gets closer to reality.

 

[Kateri]

I love 'Lay All Your Love on Me' so much, but listening to it I feel like it would be challenging to skate to.

That's what would make it such a glorious voidy disasterpiece!

Mixed with The Tiger!

My Abba FS would be Knowing Me, Knowing You/Andante Andante/Super Trouper

What a #ttw appropriate choice of music. Am sure boss will appreciate

 

[SmallFairy]

Oh dear...Hope Erokov at least make it to the ice this season

 

[SmallFairy]

Growing up in Scandinavia, I’m a bit torn on ABBA. There was never any lack of ABBA in my life, to phrase it that way But it could be fun. I’m willing to give Bunny Girl a chance. But why on earth “The winner takes it all”? Those four Swedes have like the biggest backlist.

Indeed ABBA is our soundtrack.

No more champagne, and the fireworks are through, here we are, me and you, feeling lost and feeling blue...

 

[SmallFairy]

But what would we do without the Swedes? 70ies teen idol Ted Gärdestad (Borodulin’s double) is singing “Can’t stop the train”

Indeed.
I am more curious though, which german song Murashov has chosen for this season

 

[Hanna]

My Abba FS would be Knowing Me, Knowing You/Andante Andante/Super Trouper

Mine would be Thank You For The Music / Our Last Summer / Super Trouper.

Although for Super Trouper I'd pick the A*Teens version. https://youtu.be/5j1vhCf5XKg Takes me back to my youth!

 

[Jeschke]

A*Teens

OMG! Priceless!
Feeling 15 again! Dying!

I love this! Thanks for sharing.

I don't think we got any of the ABBA covers in America, but 'Floorfiller' is the epitome of trashy early 2000s pop. Of course I love(d) it and even remember buying the DVD single.

And now that more than a decade has passed, those '00s fashions have not aged well at all. And here I thought they'd always remain timeless.

As for my ABBA program, I think I will go the purist route and use only Intermezzo No 1.

Perfection! Someone should actually do this instead of the neverending Bohemian Rhapsody.
