A*Teens - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
Those of you who've exhausted the amazing new Madonna single, which I don't need to tell you samples the original Abba version of this song, may like to download this rather energetic (perhaps a slight understatement!) cover by the A*Teens. The band's first album was made up solely of Abba covers (an idea poached by the new duo West End Girls, who only sing Pet Shop Boys songs) and this track was featured there, as well as on the Greatest Hits album they released last year. The band, like Abba, are sadly no more, but only one solo single has been released so far (Girl Talk by Dhani), so if this lack of success continues, perhaps a reunion will be on the cards.
