I was listening to an online feed called "Waterloo Radio" which simply doesn't reapeat just the hits, but all their songs, and even newer remakes by independent artists. And even includes the songs they preformed and or wrote for others after they broke up.

ANYWHO, so I am listening and the song "One Night In Bangkok" a pop hit in the 80s played and I thought "what", come to find out it was composed for a musical play called "Chess" which Bjorn and Benny did the scores for.

Hey actually this was more about the song"One Night In Bangkok", but considering that pick, maybe they did have a rip roaring time there once. LOL

That is a pretty bad pic of them. They look like they are out of some si fi B movie.

Quote from: "drunkenshoe"I chose the pic because it was bad, lol. OK with One Night in Bangkok, Chess reminds me my childhood. There you go.

E: By the way Brian, I am just messing with you.

I knew that. Actually ABBA did have some really gawdy costumes at points and other times very well put together. I thought they looked awesome in "Knowing Me Knowing You"

But Frida the red head looks horrible in "One of Us". I guess the video makers wanted her to look punk and feminine to match with the rising punk erra, HOLLY SHIT what a fucking mistake.

Thanks for posting the video btw.

Holly shit I just heard a song "On And On And On" By ABBA I hadn't heard since I was a pre teen. I loved that song and just heard it again after all these years. Memories damned memories. Makes me ALMOST wish I could go back in time, except my youth was tortured in real life. But man, this is like finding that 20 dollar bill you lost.

If you're gonna have an ABBA thread, then you gotta have the best solo song from any one of the members.

BTW:  Daryl Stermer played the guitar solo and Phil Collins played drums on this song.

If you brother is as much as a dork as I am, Revenge of the Nerds is where it is at man.

Damn, didn't think of that comeback. Good burn. A good burn is a good burn even among friends, and APA got you on that one Bri.

Don't feel bad Bri, I was always and still am late with the burns myself, so no doubt you'll get me me or us back on this somewhere. :P
