Critical reception
Abba - Uncensored on the Record said, "the strangely-titled 'Me and Bobby and Bobby's Brother' bears the mark of a relatively inexperienced lyricist", adding that, "Björn swiftly improved on this". It also said the song was, "another fairly typical early ditty that was not unlike Me and Bobby McGee' in melody at times", and that it, "was certainly nothing more than album filler".[2]
Other versions
- Norwegian singer Hans Petter Hansen recorded a Norwegian-language version in 1976, titled "Gnist og flammer" ("Sparks and flames"). While retaining the original structure and music, the rewritten lyrics were about Hansens' former career as a sheet metal worker in the oil industry.
gollark: > I dont and will never understand why people give enough of a shit about people being trans to actually go and complain online ectThe general thing is that some people/groups see some things people do as actively against their moral system in some way. You should probably be able to understand that.
gollark: If people kept mixing them up, it would *basically* destroy civilization. Nobody would be able to tell exactly how much storage their drive had and drive manufacturers would ship them with slightly less capacity than they should have. It would be *anarchy*.
gollark: It should be TiB then, and it would be 256GiB. Correct unit prefixes are important!
gollark: Can they do division? It's obviously a 250GB drive.
gollark: This is why we need my 6D political hypercube model.
