Does it make a difference where he was from?

at least the american asked for something relatively decent, unlike the people at the weddings hooky DJed who were screaming for ABBA!

Funny you should mention that, Woodster. Part of Revenge's Pineapple Face towards the end actually pinches a couple of lines out of ABBA's SOS(There! that's my guilty secret out of the closet now- I'm a parttime ABBA fan who recognised an ABBA rip-off. No worse than him pinching the guitar riff of Hot Chocolate's Emma for the bass in Thieves(which he did own up to!) or Interzone being a postpunk rework of the Northern Soul chestnut Keep On Keeping On).

as much as i have a soft spot for abba, as i grew up with them and they were there for basicly my whole childhood, i would never request a dj to play abba, especially hooky. there is just something fundamentaly wrong in doing that.

actually i wouldn't ask hooky to play any songs and just let him get on with playing what he likes.

:evil: I've asked for ABBA on too many cheeky occasions, but I'd not ask Hooky for it - maybe something more along the lines of that smashing "You Should Be Dancing" cover.

melly, an ABBA fancier.

crap, you got me. i like ABBA, too. especially waterloo.

Nobody's said it yet?

Hang the DJ.

yes i know the song, but not when the dj is Mr Hook.

Alistair wrote: Hooky's hit the nail on the head with Interpol and Coldplay though. Coldplay may well have credited Kraftwerk on the sleeve but it doesn't make the use of the riff any less unsubtle. It's not a very inspired way of paying homage or making new music; mixing such an established riff so prominently throughout your single.

Okay, but is it better to steal from Kraftwerk or John Denver?

Sorry, had to be done :)
