    I happened to hear the 1992 song "Waiting for Magic" by Ace of Base. At that time my English was not so good. Today I hear the lyrics and first I have to puke, then I laugh and afterwards I think: What the fuck, the lyrics are 30 years later as up-to-date as never before.

    There are so many young women out there who dream of being saved by a prince. The princess thing is so big and so antithetical to the woken zeitgeist of emancipation and advancement.

    A Snow White fairy tale as a dance floor song. So quirky and to the point.

    • Fuck that's banging. GOing toi listen to the rest of the album now - thirty fucking years since I last did, haha.Nairn
    • "Fun" fact: when this album was recording, one of the guys was also in a Nazi band.garbage
    • Cute lyrics like "Men in white hoods march down the road, we enjoy ourselves when we're sawing off n-----s’ heads / Immigrant, we hate you! Out, out, out, out!"garbage
