  • sometimes, a vampire just has to sing
    Many years ago, Brian David Gilbert and Jonah Scott talked about how most of ABBA's music could be sung by Halloween villains. This year, they turned that 3 minute conversation into a full album.

    In early vampire myths, vampires inhumanity caused them to not have feelings, so they would drink blood, which was believed to be the source of emotion. Makes that "don't go wasting your emotions" even more impactful.

    For reasons I truly don’t understand, this is 100% unironically the favorite song of my 5 year old and 2 year old. The 2 year old demands it on every car ride although he has a hard time saying vampire song so he kinda just yells “Sapphire!” at me until I put this on. This is not just an October thing either. This is just the peak of music to them. I’m so proud.

      Yeah, and the lyrics that imply a one-true-pairing, monogamous relationship in the new context would mean he's going to subsist on this person exclusively and stop generally hurting other people who don't consent. It's really rather touching, if a bit possessive and intense.

    As a lifelong ABBA fan, I have some sequel album suggestions for Brian
    "Slipping through my fingers"; a soliloquy by Edward Scizorhands
    "Hasta araña"; 3 minutes and 9 seconds of straight spider puns
    "Waterloo" as sung by the tortured, vengeful ghost of Napoleon
    "(Biblically Accurate) Angeleyes" about the eldritch horror that is the ophanim _(🎶one look and you're vaporiiiized~🎶)_
    And finally, "if it wasn't for the Knight"; in which a fiendish sorcerer rants about the hero foiling his wicked and sinister schemes
    All free to use for anyone seeking to make the words second-best Halloween themed ABBA cover album
    [EDIT] I know it's currently the middle of July but I remembered this existed and came up with more:
    "The Visitors" where it starts as usual, but becomes increasingly obvious the singer has been abducted by aliens
    "When I Kissed the Creature" in which a cryptid fanatic takes things a little too far
    "Me and I" as a dysfunctional duet between Jekyll and Hyde.
    "Disillusions" sung by the tormented protagonist of an HP Lovecraft novel
    I'll be back if I come up with anything funnier lmao
