Dancing Queen Lyrics

I have the exact opposite take on the song that Saivi does. I don't think the lyrics are sad at all. Sweden is the only country in the world without a sexual double standard. Swedish women are free to go out and be sexy. It is such an advanced country that women are never called slu*s. Dancing Queen is a celebration of the feedom Swedish women have.

At one time I thought the U.S and other countries would become as advanced as Sweden. I have long since given up hope. Whenever I hear a guy criticize a woman for looking sexy or being sexual I feel so depressed. It especially makes me sad when I realize most of the guys who use criticize sexy women weren't even alive when "Dancing Queen" was released.

I don't think the Swedes theemselves fully appreciated how wonderful their culture was. They have allowed a large number of immigrants to move into their country who HATE independent, sexy women. The new immigrants are outraged that Swedish women arent "modest" They call Swedish women "hookers". This will change Swedish culture to the point where "Dancing Queen" will represent the way Sweden USED to be in an earlier, more innocent, time period.

Yes I do think about all of these issues everytime I hear "Dancng Queen"..which is one of the best pop songs of all time.

@Jay F Agreed. I see that your post was 10 years ago and, sadly, Sweden's fortunes have gotten much worse since then. Migrants have turned Sweden into the rape capital of the world. It's a tragedy.

@Jay F This comment is complete nonsense and I don't know how it got any upvotes.
