Really Not Metal Monday

Why is this song so damn good?:
It is. That is undeniable. 

There's a lot going on here.

First off, you got a great, heavy beat, you can really feel it, you're meant to- 123,123,123. The strings bring the song to the bridge, building to the refrain. The piano chords are very interesting and striking as is the guitar backing the melody. We like how the refrain opens the song, a nice touch.

Together it all conjures up the scene, a 'young and sweet- only 17' dancing queen. It's beyond mere sex at this point, something existential that most young men wouldn't get. ABBA really makes you see it, though. 

'You can dance...you can dance...'

The song is about our protagonist's triumph.
