ABBA Singbox: An iPhone game that lets you sing ABBA songs alongside Frida and Agnetha, while Björn and Benny do their thing. The only way life could get any better than this is if actual Swedes were singing besides you.
If you have no further need for your basic, human dignity, get the latest humiliation device for iPad – in the form of USing Karaoke. It supports MIDI files, so you’ll never run out of tunes to recreate that stuck-in-an-elevator-feeling.
