harmonies and inspiration to the dance rhythm in George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby," as well as the drumming on Dr. John's 1972 album “Dr. John's Gumbo”, ABBA is able to convey an elated feeling of limitless joy and highlights the greatest music of the disco era.

Overall, the song is not as bad as I thought; it comes to the fact that the more I listen to it, the more I start to appreciate the song. Not a bad way to start the…
