The Bad Batch's favourite ABBA songs

I don't even know what to say about this... uh, enjoy?

warnings: none if you don't count crack content

ALRIGHT, LET'S GET STARTED!!1!

Hunter:

-Though he doesn't want to admit it, he listens to ABBA religiously

- like seriously, after a mission, he used to dump his stuff on his bunk, find a secluded spot and just let the lyrics wash over him

- his brothers secretly all know how much he likes their songs, because when the others play ABBA, he just smiles to himself because he knows every lyric, but can't afford to embarrass himself.

- he loves 'why did it have to be me' but there's one that really hits home to him now with him being a buir'

-Guessed yet? it's 'slipping through my fingers' that has hunter tearing up every time

-he just imagines omega as the song plays and oh it hurts him so, so much ;-;

- he listens to it almost daily, because now he understands

Tech

. this dude LOVES 'waterloo'

. he listens to it on repeat as he works on repairs around the ship

. he points out the historical accuracies (and inaccuracies, he's tech after all)

. he even hums it to himself when he's distracted

. with the other songs, he doesn't mind them, but for tech, there's just something about songs about history ( yes that means rasputin by boney M fits that category- but that's for another time)

Wrecker

- oh boy, where to start with wrecker

-he loves ABBA and it not shy to show it

- he just belts the lyrics wherever he wants, whenever he wants

- well, the lyrics he knows anyways

- his favourite would probably be 'super trouper'

- easiest to remember in his opinion

- but he thinks 'the winner takes it all' is too sad so he refuses to listen to it

Echo

- in terms of music, echo seems like the guy who prefer calm, laid back beats to bands like ABBA

- but that couldn't be more wrong

- in his 501st days, him and fives sang to 'dancing queen' on the daily, coordinated dance moves and everything

-but now he can't really bring himself to listening to that, though he doesn't tell anyone else that

- his new favourite is 'our last summer'

- it reminds him of his 501st days without him sobbing his eyes out

- its just the right type of nostalgia for him

Crosshair:

- crosshair says he hates his brother's weird music taste

- but that's just words

- he often subtly taps his foot to some of the songs

- for others, he justs sit back and watches tech, wrecker and omega take the floor, even fake clapping for them

-but being completely honest, it's not completely fake

-but listening to that much ABBA means that he'd certainly have a preference

-namely 'the winner takes it all'

- he loves playing that one and watch wrecker go 'nononoNOnoNo TURN IT OFF it's too sad!!'

-free entertainment, really

Omega

Omega was probably unfamiliar with music, as kamino probably didn’t allow it

But that changed with the bad batch

She was introduced to ABBA by wrecker ( i know hunter wanted to, but wrecker beat him to it)

Needless to say she loves it

her favourites are ‘angeleyes’ and ‘mamma mia’

She actually sings them well ( omega can sing like an angel and i will die on that hill)

She also played ‘dancing queen’ but saw that echo was upset so she switched the song

Wrecker and omega love singing to them, and omega hums the lyrics all. The. time.

So those are my headcanons about the bad batch and ABBA, and they’re just a little cursed, but mostly wholesome. Idk the idea of the bad batch listening to music and actually enjoying it is the purest thing and i had so much fun writing this

Love you all xxx
