When you think Queen Elizabeth II, you likely do not think 1970s disco. And yet, England's longest-reigning monarch ostensibly gets down just like the rest of us.

Last week, word got around that the Queen's favorite song might be "Dancing Queen" by ABBA-- she is the Queen, after all. Per NME, BBC radio DJ Chris Evans first shared this factoid back in 2008 based on a story he'd heard from a friend who'd attended a dinner with the queen.

But to set the record straight: No one has officially confirmed that this song is the Queen's favorite. In fact, when a 2016 BBC documentary revealed a list of the Queen's favorite songs, there was nary an ABBA track in sight.

Still, as word that the Queen might have a favorite song spread last week, people on Twitter shared their best guesses before clicking through to NME's story.

Per the BBC, here's what Her Majestyactuallylikes to listen to:

  • "Oklahoma!" by Howard Keel

  • "Anything You Can Do (Annie Get Your Gun)" by Dolores Gray and Bill Johnson

  • "Sing" by Gary Barlow and the Commonwealth Band featuring the Military Wives

  • "Cheek to Cheek" by Fred Astaire

  • "The White Cliffs Of Dover" by Vera Lynn

  • "Leaning on a Lamp-post" by George Formby

  • "Praise, My Soul, The King Of Heaven"

  • "The Lord is My Shepherd"

  • "Lester Lanin Medley"

  • "Regimental March Milanollo"

So there you have it: A playlist fit for a Queen.
