A few weeks ago, the question was asked about our guilty music pleasures. I said I didn't have any, and honestly couldn't think of any at the moment.

but thanks to the joy of YouTube, I have been reminded of one such pleasure a few of you might think silly.

As a rule, I am not an ABBA fan. "Dancing Queen" does nothing for me. But two of their songs get excepted from the list: "Waterloo" and "Fernando".

ABBA were, of course, relics from the disco era. And Waterloo certainly belongs in the disco category. But Fernando is definitely not a typical disco song. It is a folk song that got misplaced, and certainly the crossover of folk-rock into pop in that era makes it well placed. Indeed, the very intro to the song is reminiscent of the Simon and Garfunkel classic "El Condor Pasa".

So, call me silly, but those two seventies classics have to be noted on my guilty pleasures list.
