For Jeffrey, who loves the Swedes:

On this day in 1975, the Swedish pop (super)group ABBA, released their self-titled album, containing the hit single, "SOS." Formed in the early 1970s by Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, ABBA arguably came into their own with this, their third album. One of the album's songs, "Mamma Mia," became the title for the Broadway musical based on the songs of ABBA, which premiered in 1999.

If I were trapped on a deserted island and only had the choice to listen to AC/DC OR ABBA, I would undoubtedly choose ABBA.

Killer dolphins, a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror reference. (The dolphins came on land and killed everybody because they are smarter than us.)
