The idea for this puzzle was conceived last April to mark a “particular” anniversary, but life became busy for me and the anniversary date passed before I had time to construct, polish and publish properly.
Is the grid fill too difficult, the metanism too obvious? Is some tweaking needed to create a more satisfying “aha” moment? My test solvers said they liked it, but as with any puzzle, results may vary. Enjoy!

"When you're gone / how can I / even try / to go on?"
Ah, geez... Star at a wall. Right things down. stare as spring pop everywhere. Say them aloud. ... Ah. geez.

Interesting... I found a lot of potentially relevant entries and wondered if they led where I thought they would. Then I looked backed at Rhyme Scheme and, well, of course!
RHYME SCHEME plus pop group (not to mention QUEEN at 65A) gave me the answer right away, but needed a second look to figure out how the themers created the scheme. I was too focused on the intra-word pattern, which of course makes no sense since that's not a thing Fun stuff, thanks. And thanks for filling the breach!
Thanks for solving. You'll find three more words to go with QUEEN for another "Easter egg example" of the RHYME SCHEME, not to mention another key item that solvers look at.
Lol. It was a busy day for me, and I was just ready for a lunch break and an MMM puzzle... and then "Wha--? No puzzle?"... Had to see if the apocalypse had occurred and I somehow missed it. ;)

I really wanted this to be Ace of Bass. Nice job from Champaign’s finest!
Mamma Mia that was a great puzzle and if asked if I liked it I would have to answer "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do". The rhyme scheme thing sealed it but NAMECASEFACEGAME pretty much put it away (by the way I entered those in Google to see what happened and nothing ABBA related popped up?) because I said wow that is like an ABBA rhyme (LIGHTBULB!!). That and having all the ABBA songs there; I found DANCEQUEEN, SUPERTROUPER, SOS, CHANCE on me and of course NAME of the GAME, which ones did I miss? Too bad they buried Mark in Elmira instead of 60 miles to the north in Waterloo, NY! Nice MOnday Darth, thanks.
Lol. Thanks, DrT. Yeah, Waterloo would have been giving it all away! haha So, the puzzle title follows the ABBA rhyme scheme as does SCENEDANCECHANCEQUEEN from Dancing Queen. You found SUPERTROUPER and SOS. There was also MY MY and BYE BYE from Mamma Mia. (On April 6, 2024, ABBA marked the 50 year anniversary of their Eurovision win.)
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Couldn't miss this one if I tried as my daughter is a Mamma Mia fanatic and ABBA is an XM 70s on 7 beast to say the least. Thanks, Fernando aka Darth!
