Music Appreciation
I'm taking a chance here.
I was first introduced to Erasure by my high school bestfreinds. Being the naive 16 year old boy, I thought the pop duo Erasure sang great tunes that were fun to sing and dance to. Nothing more. It was perhaps in college or even after that I realized Andy Bell, the lead singer, was considered a gay icon.
I haven't stopped listening since, and I even find myself lipsyncing to their songs every change I get. Yes, my inner-drag queen comes out--watch out sistas!
Okay, so for historical purposes, Take a Chance on Me
was first recorded by ABBA 
in 1978. Erasure's cover came out in 1992 and topped the UK Singles Chart for five weeks.
