If I Can Dream-Elvis and Celine Dion

Great use of technology to create an "impossible" duet. I heard recently that to see Celine's show in Las Vegas costs $200 per ticket. That is outrageous. Things have changed since the old days when big name shows were cheap in Vegas in order to draw people to the Casinos.

Money video

This is a weird music video but I like it. The lead singer does a great job of deadpaning the funny lyrics.

The Locomtion- Kylie Minogue

I really wanted the video of Debbie Gibson doing this song. But is nowhere to be found on the web. However this one is similar and pretty good.

ABBA "Dancing Queen"

One of their best songs. ABBA hit it big after winning a TV music talent show (Eurovision?) Saw an interview with a music guru who praised their music as being as intricate and sophisticated as any band out there. After about 10 years they retired and went back back to Sweden.

ABBA "The Winner Takes It All"

ABBA was number one in the world for 10 years despite doing "clean" pop music. This at a time when other top bands were featuring the grunge look along with "sex,drugs and rock-n-roll".
