Take a chance on this hilarious ABBA and Star Wars mash-up
In case you thought you were having flashbacks to your disco-addled youth, it’s absolutely true – ABBA is back with new music and a digital tour.
We are on our way back! Thank you for waiting.#ABBAVoyage is the concert we've always wanted to perform for our fans. The journey is about to begin!

Tickets are harder to find than a GB News viewer, and widespread disappointment is the order of the day.
Every so often, I hear sad noises from the kitchen as @petepaphides is rebuffed from the ABBA pre-sale website. It sounds like the child inside him witnessing Santa Claus being shot. It's unbearable.

Obviously, the news has presented joke opportunities, too.
Call me a party pooper if you must, but I’m having serious doubts about the wisdom of this ABBA reunion… 😱#ABBAVoyage pic.twitter.com/VVTP0RFmZi

I’m thinking of celebrating the ABBA reunion by opening a chicken restaurant in Paris. I’ll call it Poulet-Vous.

Comedian and master of video manipulation, Matt Highton, has produced a mini masterpiece (again) with this ABBA-Star Wars mash-up – and it’s quite frankly essential viewing.
“Aren’t you a little short for a Super Trouper?”
Matt shared the video on Twitter.
