(and I've just been offered a job, so things are *hopefully* on the up!)<BR/><BR/>Oh is that what it is - a minor chord melody? I have no technical know-how sadly with music, that's why your blog is so fab, as you can look at it from the viewpoint of a musician as well as an obsessive!<BR/><BR/>I often find I like songs that tackle opposing emotions, they always seem to work with me.

It also applies to many great songs ('Can't get you out of my head' is another good example where a feelgood disco beat is overlaid with a minor chord melody).<BR/><BR/>Super trouper (a reference to a type of spotlight, incidentally) is from my favourite 'late period' Abba. I love all their stuff from this time ('Day before you came', 'Head over heels', 'One of us' and of course 'Winner...'). They have a real emotional weight to them that their earlier songs didn't.<BR/><BR/>Another good choice.
