Abba BBC4

[Nemo123]

I loved Abba as a kid, especially the blonde one. Had a huge crush on her.

[Vanessa]

Thanks! I'm watching it. I love Abba. :lovedup:

[Nemo123]

I was a 9 year old in 1974, and I watched the Eurovision, as usual, and they were brilliant. So, I was in on the ground floor, almost, although as I've learned tonight they extend back into the 60's.

[Vanessa]

They're amazing. :love:

[Nemo123]

I was totally in love with the blonde one. Then they had a load of melancholy songs which played the heartstrings. One really felt involved with their sorrow.

[Nemo123]

Anna-Frid, or Agneta. The blonde one. I was mad on her, as a child.

[Nemo123]

Do you remember "The Brotherhood Of Man" ripping off Fernando?

It was called "Angelo".

[Vanessa]

I'm really enjoying this. Love all the songs and bits of info. :)

[Nemo123]

The Name Of The Game!

One I'd forgotten.

[Vanessa]

Nice video!

[Nemo123]

Take A Chance On Me

These tunes are so familiar.

[Vanessa]

They always have me up and dancing. :dance:

[Nemo123]

Not big into dancing, but I could dance to this. AS A KID YOU COULDN'T STOP ME DANCING TO aBBA.

[Vanessa]

I should be going to bed, but this is too good to miss! :hugesmile:

[Nemo123]

Abba was massive. They were right up there with the Beatles in terms of sales and popularity.

[Vanessa]

I'd love to see their musical, Mamma mia.

[Nemo123]

I should be going to bed, but this is too good to miss! :hugesmile:
It's barely half ten on a Friday.

[Vanessa]

It's barely half ten on a Friday.

I have work tomorrow.

[Nemo123]

I'd love to see their musical, Mamma mia.

No, that's a bridge too far for me. Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan?
nO THANKS.

[Vanessa]

No, that's a bridge too far for me. Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan?
nO THANKS.

No, i mean at the theatre. :hugesmile:

[Nemo123]

No, i mean at the theatre. :hugesmile:

OK. Just to let you know I'm not a fan of the film at all.
Abba has been taken over by a camp element. I don't like it.

[Nemo123]

Voulez vous is fantastic!

[Vanessa]

yeah, i love this song! :love:

[Nemo123]

It does sound like a Bee Gees tune, and Bond '77 from "The Spy Who Loved Me".

[Vanessa]

I don't know this song here.

[Nemo123]

I don't know this song here.
Nor me.

[Vanessa]

Oh i love this song! :amazed:

[Nemo123]

1979, Gimme gimme gimme. Knocked the ball out of the diamond again.

[Nemo123]

I use to think the lyrics were, "Gimme gimme gimme, I'm mad after midnight", so I use to sing to it.

[Vanessa]

This song is beautiful. :lovedup:

[Nemo123]

The blonde on the right is still gorgeous!

[Nemo123]

Well, that was wonderful, and if you missed it look out for a repeat.

[Vanessa]

Agnetha has an album out. She looks good for 63.

[Nemo123]

Agnetha has an album out. She looks good for 63.

I might.

[Nemo123]

I feel horribly deflated seeing Agnetta today. She has just aged lots. I haven't seen her for years and years, because she took herself off into seclusion.
I don't care to see her today. Rather just remember the memory of the sexiest quarter of Abba.

[Cherie]

I'd love to see their musical, Mamma mia.

It is fantastic Ness if you get the chance to go.

[Vanessa]

It is fantastic Ness if you get the chance to go.

Have you seen it? :amazed:

This is one of the reasons they turned down a 1 billion dollar deal in 2000 to reform because Benny wanted them to be remembered when they were young.

[Cherie]

Have you seen it? :amazed:

Yes :amazed: Saw it about 8 years ago with my niece who was on holiday and knew nothing about Abba!

I have to see this. :love:
