Dancing Queen
The Baubles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

saladdogger Again, learn the difference between hyperdulla, dulla and latria.
The problem here is the lacking in philosophical thought, unable to differentiate Latria 'adoration to God', hyperdulia 'veneration to Mary', and dulia 'veneration to saints'.
The english language just mixes the 3 so you get invalid statements like Catholics worship Mary, the Saints and God.
God forbids the 'latria' worship of other gods like the pagans do. Not necessarily pagans, but simply people who put earthly things as the highest in place of god.
It's not even strictly against statues, it was about placing other gods on the place of your latria worship, which is due to God alone. Even moses was commanded to create statues of cherub in the ark of the covenant. Divine conflict came when people starts replacing the place of God in their latria worship with other things, and Catholics never ever replaced their latria worship with other gods. That is just blasphemy

saladdogger It doesn't matter to what people think as long as our theology adheres to the scripture, which of course is the point of controversy.
When Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, said "Hail Mary full of Grace the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed the fruit in your womb", was she committing 'latria' worship to Mary? Elizabeth only praised her in the level of 'dulia' worship not 'latria' worship.
The serpent statue was established by Moses in the desert for the benefit of Israel, the cherub as well was a figure of heavenly things, did Moses break the commandment? No, because each commandment in the Torah had many sentences that emphasizes on the core message of the commandment. Thou shalt not worship other gods and thou shalt not make graven images of heavenly things are one similar thought ultimately commanding singular adherance to the God of Israel. All was fine unless the Israelites placed the statue instead of God in their 'latria' worship, even Catholic priests warn the leity not to make the same mistake and some Catholic rites have a day specifically to educate the leity of the limited purpose of statues by destroying them.
Your points doesn't invalidate my point. Again there are latria, dulia, and hyperdulia. No Catholics give the 'latria' worship to Mary. That's why we make use of the word 'veneration' which the uneducated populace thinks is just. 'latria' worship just made politically correct. Hence resulting in misrepresentation of what the Catholics practice and committing a lie that is also considered heresy in Catholicism.
Historical abuses aren't done due to icons. The Protestants abused more of their own with their unjust witch trials that prosecuted everyone they don't like. The Catholics with their inquisition gave fairer trial than what the heretics of England and north Germany ever had with their mob rule.
Indulgences, veneration of relics, and all other Catholic practices the Protestants were against were heavily antagonized by the dukes and kings, (England, north German states, nordic states, and even the French) who were against the hegemony of Habsburg Austria and Spain. Now that it's the modern era, people now see the actual philosophical thought behind these reasons.
