Flirt a little, maybe

A couple of weeks ago Rol posted Ash's excellent cover of Jump In The Line. At the time, it reminded me that Ash had previously covered Abba, of all people, and that the result was half worth a listen. I must blog about that some day soon, I thought. Well, today is that day (mainly because I have naff-all else to post).

Tim Wheeler and co's fairly straight playing of Does Your Mother Know? saw the light of day on the 2008 collector's edition of their remastered debut album 1977. Here it is.

And for comparison, the original, with a rare lead vocal for Bjorn.

Far from their best work but somehow this has still clocked nearly 52 million views on YouTube. Imagine.
