ABBA via Erasure

Take a Chance on Me by Erasure (ABBA cover).



Voulez Vous by Erasure (ABBA cover).



Lay All Your Love on Me by Erasure (ABBA cover). Maybe one has to have a very nuanced ear to hear this, but I swear to God Erasure's version of this song reminds me of that Biffy Clyro track, Who's Got a Match?. It literally has the same beat right before the "I'm a fire/and I'll burn, burn, burn tonight" bit. Obviously I'm not comparing the genius of ABBA/Erasure to a song which includes lyrics such as: "The midget is frigid/I put it to you". Incidentally, because of similarities to ABBA's original Lay Your Love on Me, they have a co-writing credit on the Venga Boys' Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom.

Erasure - Love to Hate You

Brilliant song, even if the bass has badly ripped off Gloria Gaynor. The lyrics make up for the plagiarism. "And the lovers that you sent for me/didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee", "I like to read a murder mystery/I like to know the killer isn't me".
