The first single from their "Voulez-Vous" album, none of us at the time knew that we were coming to the final stage of a meteoric career for the Swedish quartet who sold an unbelievable amount of albums in the 1970's, all the while absorbing a lot of criticism from music "critics" for their bubble gum style.
Abba didn't care. They laughed all the way to bank, and a new generation discovered them on Broadway thanks to "Mamma Mia" many years later.
This song is quintessential Abba, a simple premise musically and very sing-along. And I sang along, over and over and over, back as I began Year 13 of my life.
