Abba - Fernando
Fernando was originally released as a single in Sweden by Frida, where it topped the charts for 9 consecutive weeks and broke all records. Abba realised it had international potential and released their own single version in March 1976. It topped the charts in many countries, and stayed at no. 1 in Australia for 14 weeks, equalling Hey Jude by The Beatles. Abba made their first tour to Australia in March 4-14 1976, and experienced Abbamania. Melbourne airport was beseiged by fans chanting for them when they arrived. The girls were moved to tears.

Complete modesty is the group's most refreshing quality". Expessen published some astounding figures after the tour. Abba had 5 singles and 2 albums in the charts at the same time in Australia.

ABBA - Eagle
This was the opening track of their 1977 album "ABBA - The Album". It was also released as a single in May 1978. Lyrics: They came flyin' from faraway now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell they've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons they speak strangely but I understand and I dream I'm an eagle and I dream I can spread my wings Flyin' high, high I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze high, high what a feeling to fly over mountains and forests and seas and to go anywhere that I please As all good friends we talk all night and we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything there's no limit to what I feel we climb higher and higher am I dreamin' or is it all real is it true I'm an eagle is it true I can spread my wings Flyin' high, high I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze high, high what a feeling to fly over mountains and forests and seas and to go anywhere that I please
ABBA "Chiquitita"
For "STEREO" click here: uk.youtube.com ABBA Chiquitita is one of my all time favorite ABBA songs. My son requested it, as he used to play it on the piano when he was a youngster! Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, tell me the truth I'm a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on You were always sure of yourself Now I see you've broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you singonce more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita So the walls came tumbling down And your love's a blown out candle All is gone and it seems too hard to handle Chiquitita, tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing <b>...</b>
Abba - Waterloo
Waterloo was recorded in Dec 1973. Abba chose it over Hasta Manana to be the Swedish entry for Eurovision 1974, as it was a happy uptempo rocking song with rhythm and energy, and all the group sing. Stig Anderson took a demo tape on holiday to the Canary Isles. Stig agonised for a week to find the right title, then produced the original Swedish lyrics in a few hours, constructing a story of Waterloo as a metaphor for a girl surrendering to the love of a suitor. The rest is history, it was the first time Sweden had won Eurovision. The song rapidly became a worldwide hit after this huge success in Brighton in April 1974, reaching no. 1 in England on May 4 1974. This tv performance is from November 1974. Lyrics: My, my, at Waterloo Napolean did surrender Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny In quite a similar way, The history book on the shelf, Is always repeating itself, Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more, Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to, Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you, Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo, My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger Oh yeah, and now it seems My only chance is giving up the fight, And how could I ever refuse, I feel like I win when I lose, Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more, Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to, Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you, Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo, So <b>...</b>

A great song from their 1979 album "Voulez Vous".

ABBA-Gimme!Gimme!Gimme! Half past twelve And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone How I hate to spend the evening on my own Autumn winds Blowing outside my window as I look around the room And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayerGimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Movie stars Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win It's so different from the world I'm living in Tired of TV I open the window and I gaze into the night But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight... Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight... There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Abba - Dancing Queen
Recording of Dancing Queen started in August 1975. It was inspired by George McCrae's 1974 disco classic Rock Your Baby. It was released in August 1976, and was instantly a huge wordwide hit. It was no. 1 for 14 weeks in Sweden, and 6 weeks in UK. Stig recalls "One day I found a note in my office with a telephone number on it. I gave it to Gorel and said 'Can you call them'. She replied 'It's not a telephone number, it's the latest sales figures for Dancing Queen in Britain'". Frida recalls "I loved the song from the very beginning. Coming back from the studio, Benny played the backing track to me. It was so beautiful that I started to cry. I mean, even without lyrics or voices on it, it was outstanding." Dancing Queen is Abba's best known song, and continues to fill dance floors the world over to this day. This performance is from the November 1978 Japan tv show "Abba Special". From Arrival album. Lyrics: You can dance, you can sing Having the time of your life, See that girl, watch that scene Dig in the Dancing Queen, Friday night and the lights are low, Looking out for the place to go, Where they play the right music, getting in the swing You come in to look for a king, Anybody could be that guy, Night is young and the music's high, With a bit of rock music, everything is fine You're in the mood for a dance, And when you get the chance, You are the Dancing Queen, Young and sweet, only seventeen Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine You can dance, you can <b>...</b>

Abba - Super Trouper
Super Trouper - the song about spotlights! This performance of Super Trouper was recorded on November 27 1980 in Stockholm and broadcast live by satellite on Show Express, a West German tv show. It was originally planned for Abba to record the show in Germany. This trip was cancelled after kidnap threats against the group and their children were received. Rather than missing out, Show Express came to Abba instead! Abba performed three songs to playback for the show: The Winner Takes It All, Super Trouper and On And On And On. Super Trouper was recorded on October 3 1980 and was released as a single and the opening track of Abba's 7th album "Super Trouper" on November 3 1980. Super Trouper gave Abba their 9th and final #1 for 3 weeks in the UK. Top 10 positions were: Austria #3, Belgium #1, Finland #5, France #4, Holland #1, Ireland #1, Mexico #3, Norway #2, Spain #8, Switzerland #3, UK #1, West Germany #1. Bjorn recalls: "We had already decided to call the album Super Trouper because we'd been on tour and had used these huge coloured spotlights called 'super troupers' which we thought would make a good name for the album. And then we listened to the album and thought 'It needs something more, it needs another song'. So it was a song that we wrote in the studio, the only time that ever happened. The title of the album fitted completely with the chorus we had written, but it was very difficult to build a story around that title. To write a song about a spotlight was not <b>...</b>
