Abba BBC4
 

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

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

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.

They're amazing. :love:

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.

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

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

It was called "Angelo".

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

The Name Of The Game!

One I'd forgotten.

Nice video!

Take A Chance On Me

These tunes are so familiar.

They always have me up and dancing. :dance:

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

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

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

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

It's barely half ten on a Friday.

I have work tomorrow.

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

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.

Voulez vous is fantastic!

yeah, i love this song! :love:

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

I don't know this song here.

Nor me.

Oh i love this song! :amazed:

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

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

This song is beautiful. :lovedup:

The blonde on the right is still gorgeous!

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

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

I might.

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.

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.

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:
