A serious question - is this the best song ever?

[Taunton Blue Genie]

As you are nominating the song for the highest bauble I think that I am justified in pointing out that the lyrics are a bit weak here and there e.g.

"Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good".

It's that word "nice" that makes me cringe. Particularly when followed by "good" as an alternative.

My Swedish is magnificent, of course....

And now they sing about dildos, so what is the point you are trying to make?

Back to Steely Dan then.

When I was a young lad, this song stood out as being better than anything I had heard before.

I am a person with exquisite taste, and as weird as it may seem, I don't think this song has ever been beaten as a pop masterpiece.

I've always been an Abba fan, their greatest hits vol 1 was my first ever album and I played it to death, it definitely shaped my music taste and what I look for in a tune.

I can be put right off of a tune I really like because of cheesy lyrics, I've deleted loads of mixes I've recorded because of it, not sure why it bothers me so much.

What would you replace nice with?

"Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so ????
It used to be so good".

[Cyclops]

"Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so ????
It used to be so good".

Could you two find a room?

I wasn't talking about that song, I was just saying I understand how lyrics can bug people.

Whatever happened to our love?
I never understood
You used to be my life
We used to be so good
