The Return Of Ace Of Base


Now that the New Kids on the Block have reunited and are on tour, it's time for some 90s bitches to get in on the action. Ace of Base has announced that they will put out a new album next year, along with a compilation of their greatest hits and a world tour. YES! I was an underground Ace of Base lover back in the day. I would lock myself in my room and play their shit along with La Bouche.

Now if only GAK will make a comeback. The things I could do with that shit now. Okay, enough gutter talk. Back to Swedish pop talk.

Above is a re-working of one of Ace of Base's earlier tracks called "Whee of Fortune." I lasted about 20 seconds before I turned it off and went to search my iTunes for their older crap. All That She Wants was the shit! You know, if she wanted another baby so bad, why didn't she just use in vitro or adopt?

After reading this post yesterday, I went home and turned on the 90's channel on XM Radio. And wouldn't you know, what song comes on after about 5 minutes? ALL THAT SHE WANTS!!! LOL it was too funny! They must have known I needed my Ace of Base fix!

MK - Thank you for making my day. I've loved AoB from the first beats of All That She Wants (and yes, the woman's a skank ho, not looking to have a kid).

To the one wondering about the other woman, Linn - she's wanted out of the public eye after getting invaded by a knife-wielding "fan". I've read in interviews that AoB has been a trio for the past decade.

Ok.. I have to admit. I saw the New Kids here in Vegas last Friday night. And I screamed and sang along and had the best time of my life. It was an absolute cougar parade.

I felt SOO dirty afterwards.. but I went to work the next day (I'm a dealer on the Strip) and I saw 5 different bitches... wearing New Kids t-shirts.

AND this is no lie... I was walking out of IHOP yesterday morning, singing Hangin' Tough with my 6 year old daughter.. and a woman came up to me who was there with her hot ass hubby and small child and she said, "Did you go to the concert??!"

I didn't realize how many other crazy bitches were out there in the world.

LOh and how can I forget Unique II's stunning cover of "Break My Stride:

"Last night I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China
in a little row boat to find ya
and you said you had to get your laundry cleaned
didnt want no one to hold you
and what does that mean?"

The Chola Tranny Mess in the sequined jumpsuit for the music video should be Hot Slut of the Day MK!

Omgah! I LOVED all the 90's Eurodance and pop. I was about 5-6 when it all came out. I loved Ace of Base and La Bouche. Embarassingly, I still have that shit on my ipod.

Nothing beats "The Key The Secret" by Urban Cookie Collective. YEAH YEAH A-HA.

I'm so glad someone else has taken issue with the sheer stupidity of "All That She Wants".

How is it that this girl, who by all accounts really enjoys lying on the beach and having fun, must have ANOTHER baby. And not only that, it's ALL that she wants.

Somehow I think not. Whore.

Fuck you very much, MK. Briefly perused the site, poured a glass of vino, went for a smoke and realized I was humming All She Wants is Another Baby under my breath.

I will think of some suitable punishment.

Thank you fucking much, MK.

I just spent nearly an hour revisiting videos from Ace of Base, Haddaway, La Bouche, Everything But the Girl, and Real McCoy. I was on the verge of giving myself a Caeser cut when I got a hold of myself.

But I have to admit Ulf looked fantastic in the "Beautiful Life" video. What happened?

Have you ever heard someone do a Shatner-esque spoken word version of 'All That She Wants'?

zomg... total 6th grade flashbacks happening because of "All That She Wants". Man, that was a magical time in life and pop culture... I miss those days.

Oh, craps, NO! Although Ace Of Base ruled big time 150 years ago when I went to school, but please no more.

PS. I was full-on addicted to The Sign. In fact, I'll prolly sing it for the next week now.

Whatever - it's better than:

Boy don't try to front me
Cuz I know just who you are
Boy don't try to front me
Cuz I know just who you are

I can't even get to the chorus - I just get stuck there - it's like a musical horror movie in my brain that's all about suspense and never gets to the kill...

All I know is the 'heritage' buildings here get part of their repair costs covered. So maybe it's a fundraising ploy for a new roof for the church? I'll be tossing my vote, but not for them!
