In today's episode, Warren goes over the technicalities and backstory behind Abba's hit single "Dancing Queen".

“Dancing Queen” was written by Benny and Björn, and manager Stig Anderson. They credit George McCrae’s 1974 disco hit, “Rock Your Baby” as a major inspiration. Under the working title of “Boogaloo”, Benny played the instrumental track for his wife Frida who was brought to tears by the sound. She recalled: “Benny came home with a tape of the backing track and played it for me. I thought it was so enormously beautiful that I started to cry.”

In today's podcast, Warren talks about David Bowie's BIGGEST hit of all time "Let's Dance" and the significant technicalities behind it.

“Let’s Dance” becomes a contemporary imagining of the radical spirit of rock and roll that had characterized the genre’s birth. It rejects the evolution of rock towards music intended primarily for listening – a paradigm in which Bowie had already proven his skill – and returns it to its origins on the dance floor. In hindsight, we can see the qualities that made it a massive success, but at the time, it was a risky calculation.

From a simple recording of David Bowie on the Ukulele, “Lust for Life” was extrapolated into the instantly-recognizable song we know today. Rolling Stone placed it in The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004—and yet again in 2021—when the list was re-evaluated and re-ranked.

“Lust for Life” and its iconic, driving drum sound has been mirrored decades later in works like Travis’ “Selfish Jean” and Jet’s “Are You Gonna Be My Girl;” an illustration of musical ideas perpetuating their influence through the decades.
