Debbie Sims - Super Trouper (1998) - CD

This is Debbie Sims' first single off from the 1998 tribute album, "Songs of Andersson & Ulvaeus", which is a tribute to the Swedish pop music quartet ABBA. NOTE: PROBLEM: The original song, “Super Trouper” by ABBA contains no strings, no horns, no bongos, no congas, no American percussion playing, no bass drum pounding, nor handclaps since the disco backlash started in late 1980, but too many synthesizers that made their original sound too euro-pop, too plain, too ordinary, too Schlager, too Swedish pop with not enough American disco rhythms or not enough American roots when they don’t pronounce the “z” sound, but pronounce the “s” sound just because the members from ABBA, named, Frida Lyngstad, Agnetha Faltskog, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus are Swedish. Also, in this original song by ABBA, during the first half of the chorus for the third time, there were no drums playing nor the pulsating beat of the bass drum playing that made it too plain; instead it had nothing. SOLUTION: Debbie Sims’ American disco remake of this song where she pronounces the “z” sound with an American accent due to her American roots instead of a Swedish accent, produced by American disco producer Ed O’Loughlin, has a lot more American disco rhythms that make this song as a dance floor song, where you hear the bass drum pounding in the first half of the chorus for the third time to get your foot tapping to the beat of this song, which makes most everybody want to dance to the disco beat and clap their hands at Studio 54 discotheque than ABBA’s original from 1980.
