So Many Abba-McCain Parodies, So Little Time

This morning, I admitted to a knowledge and appreciation of Abba that has for many years pained me to admit, in the context of this rather absurdist blog post by McCainiac Michael Goldfarb intended to entice Hillary supporters to the dark side through their shared admiration of Abba. Little did I know my Abba appreciation was shared by more than John McCain and Michael Goldfarb, or that our commenters' parody skills far exceed my own. In appreciation, I have assembled the best of the bunch after the jump (with bonus Abba videos!)

From hortense:

Waterloo!
If Obama's defeated
We'll have more war!
Waterloo
Vote for McCain
If that's what you're for!

Or, if you don't like that, Rooo sez BISH PLZ has:

Waterloo!
McCain, couldn't vote for you if I wanted to!
Waterloo!
Totes exchanging Wife One for Number Two!

Oh oh oh oh oh
Waterloo!
McCain, totes hate your spin on red white and blue!

From ineffable.me:

there was something in the air that night
the stars were bright Obama
They were shining there for you and me
for liberty Obama
though we never thought that we could lose
there's no regret
if I had to do the same again
i would, my friend, Obama

Or BillyPilgrimisnotmylover:

Can you hear the Court, Ferraro?
I remember another party fight like this
in the spotlight Ferraro
you were battling for choice and strongly speaking your mind
I could see the Court
and no women were left behind

Now you're old and grey
and for many months I haven't seen the logic in your stand
Can you see the Court, Ferraro
Don't throw away your kind because it wasn't what you planned

From hortense:

Barack Obama, save us from this drama, S.O.S
That John McCain is totally insane, S.O.S.

From ineffable.me:

Gimme gimme gimme McCain after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these commies away
Gimme gimme gimme McCain after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

From hortense:

The voters will decide
The likes of me abide
And soon we all will know
Who will run the show
Obama or McCain
The Maverick or The Change
I guess we'll know this Fall
The winner takes it all

From ineffable.me:

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

From hortense:

Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely
Part of a success that never ends
Still i'm thinking about you only
(still i'm thinking about you only)
There are moments when i think i'm going crazy
(think i'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright
(you'll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When i'm on the stage tonight

Yeah, you guys are insane and awesome at the same time. And I've been listening to Abba all afternoon. I'm never getting these songs out of my head.
