Was I right to leave my 18 year old niece's birthday party when they put the Mamma Mia DVD on?

i'd consider you unsuitable to continue living if you didn't.

you should have left
once you felt its evil presence in the building.

She didn't warn me she had it.
And there was alcohol there, so I had an incentive to stay. Plus I don't often see my brother.

when it gets to the singalonga stage
I'd have to leave in disgust.

I mean, I liked Iron Maiden, but when there's a musical called 'Charlotte the Harlot' using popular tracks from the band's first three albums, I would have to strongly consider not leaving duing the second half of the show once I knew what it was all about and hoping it didn't have broadway actors in it.

Oh I was long gone by then.
Despite her saying "Oh it's so good, you'll really enjoy it". She clearly doesn't know me very well. The only singalonga thing I've ever been to was the Rocky Horror show, and once was enough.

well played
it's up to people like us to keep the foolish youth in check

When I first heard that song,
my immediate reaction was, "Shit, they totally ripped off that tune from Edgar Froese's 'Stuntman'!"

Then I looked up when "Mamma Mia" was released and realised that if anything, it was the other way round.

Generic pop.
It must be hard not to sound like something else.
