ABBA Song Of The Week: Tropical Loveland

Starship Coyote

Original Gangster!
In a new series expose, I will dissect various and more obscure ABBA songs. I will also demonstrate shocking evidence that ABBA covertly worked for the CIA and MI6 in order to encourage KGB agents in defecting to the West in the 70s.

It's true.

But first, an album cover:

CD%20ABBA%20%281975%29.jpg


It's hard to get a larger pic of this album, but you'll notice an eerie, almost Twin Peaks-esque face pearing through the rear glass. That face was Anjela Jorgen, ABBA's original CIA handler and the victim of a mysterious car crash in 1978 while on a driving in Scotland.

What many don't know is that there was another version of this cover that is extremely hard to find these days. In fact, only 200 copies were known to exist, and I possess four. In the alternative cover, instead of Jorgen's face, a sign was held up to the window which read "THIS MUSIC IS CRAP!"

On to the song... "Tropical Loveland."

TL sounds and feels like a slutty Hawaiian Punch commercial. After hearing it, the average user feels like he just received sloppy head. However, the song contains clever instructions for defecting KGB agents. Here are the lyrics:

Come to my loveland, wander along
Beautiful gardens full of flowers and songs
Come to the sunshine, beaches and sand
Listen to bluebirds, wont you come to my land

The grass is mellow and the sky is blue
My paradise is waiting here for you

Oooh, its a tropical loveland
Oooh, I wanna share it with you
Life can be funny
Happy and sunny
Oooh, in my tropical loveland

Come to my loveland, wander with me
Lie with me darling in the shade of a tree
Over the rainbow, under the moon
Thats where my land is, wont you come to me soon?

Just take my hand, Ill show you everything
The secrets that my paradise can bring

Oooh, its a tropical loveland
Oooh, I wanna share it with you
Life can be funny
Happy and sunny
Oooh, in my tropical loveland

Oooh, its a tropical loveland
Oooh, I wanna share it with you
(I wanna share it with you)
Oooh, its a tropical loveland
(its a tropical loveland)
Oooh, I wanna share it with you
Oooh, its a tropical loveland
Oooh, I wanna share it with you


In my next post, I will dissect the lyrics. Stand by.

Can I get a scan of that? :D

So - ABBA helped win the Cold War. Huh.
 
Now we'll dissect the lyrics:

Come to my loveland, wander along

Come to the sunshine, beaches and sand
Listen to bluebirds, wont you come to my land


The CIA used the US Virgin Islands as a transition point for defecting agents from the East. This stanza directs the agent there, tells him to find a garden near the beach where an old school bus will be parked.

The grass is mellow and the sky is blue
My paradise is waiting here for you


ABBA is promising gonzo pussy for defecting agents.

Oooh, its a tropical loveland
Oooh, I wanna share it with you
Life can be funny
Happy and sunny
Oooh, in my tropical loveland


Defecting agents would be moved to Florida where they will share an apartment with ABBA and engage in kinky group sex with the band.

Come to my loveland, wander with me
Lie with me darling in the shade of a tree
Over the rainbow, under the moon
Thats where my land is, wont you come to me soon?


"A tree" is reportedly code for the network of various western intelligence agencies that provide false travel documents and safehouses for the agents. The "rainbow" and the "moon" are references to the CIA and the MI6, since the CIA employed agents of all colors, but the MI5 agents, being English, are notoriously pasty white.

Just take my hand, Ill show you everything
The secrets that my paradise can bring


This is an instruction to meet a woman with a bird of paradise on her shoulder... she would be the driver of the bus.

Oooh, its a tropical loveland
Oooh, I wanna share it with you
Life can be funny
Happy and sunny
Oooh, in my tropical loveland


More promises of carpet burns in the apartment.
