ABBA-S.O.S.
November 18th, 2008

"SOS" was written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson. The title itself was coined by Stig, though the lyrics he provided were rewritten by Ulvaeus. "SOS" was among the first three songs recorded for the group's upcoming 1975 album, ABBA. Despite the song's catchiness, it was passed over as the lead single from the album; the track "So Long" was chosen instead. "So Long" was chosen primarily because it had the same uptempo beat as their 1974 hit single, "Waterloo." The descending chords and ominous synthesizer melody line of the introduction set the tone for Faltskog's vocals, sounding almost as if she were breaking down in tears."SOS" was the song that put the group back on the worldwide charts. It was their UK comeback, peaking at No.6, and a U.S. Top 20 hit. It continued the craze of "Abba-mania" in Australia, where it, along with other singles, "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" and "Mamma Mia," occupied the top spot for record weeks at the time. "SOS" also topped the charts in New Zealand, Mexico, South Africa, Belgium and West Germany, and reached the Top Five in Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia), Switzerland and Ireland. The track was also the group's first charting single in Canada, peaking at No.9. From this point on, ABBA were guaranteed recognition as a force in 1970s popular music and were no longer regarded as Eurovision one-hit wonders."SOS" has a number of musical fans: John Lennon and Pete Townshend had both declared that it was one of their favourite pop songs. Pretty credible endorsement if you ask me. ABBA Rocks and I Love them with all my heart. Hope you do also.

The Best ABBA Song - The Winner Takes it all - 1980
November 18th, 2008

My Hi5 http://scaramoucheme.hi5.com I dont wanna talk About the things weve gone through Though its hurting me Now its history Ive played all my cards And thats what youve done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser standing small Beside the victory Thats her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking Id be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall Its simple and its plain Why should I complain. But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all I dont wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand Youve come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all......

November 18th, 2008

here is a cute and playful ABBA performance at the Disco in 1976 :) Lyrics: Ive been cheated by you since I dont know when So I made up my mind, it must come to an end Look at me now, will I ever learn? I dont know how but I suddenly lose control Theres a fire within my soul Just one look and I can hear a bell ring One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you? Mamma mia, does it show again? My my, just how much Ive missed you Yes, Ive been brokenhearted Blue since the day we parted Why, why did I ever let you go? Mamma mia, now I really know, My my, I could never let you go. Ive been angry and sad about the things that you do I cant count all the times that Ive told you were through And when you go, when you slam the door I think you know that you wont be away too long You know that Im not that strong. Just one look and I can hear a bell ring One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you? Mamma mia, does it show again? My my, just how much Ive missed you Yes, Ive been brokenhearted Blue since the day we parted Why, why did I ever let you go? Mamma mia, even if I say Bye bye, leave me now or never Mamma mia, its a game we play Bye bye doesnt mean forever Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you? Mamma mia, does it show again? My my, just how much Ive missed you Yes, Ive been brokenhearted Blue since the day we parted Why, why did I ever let you go Mamma mia, now I really know My my, I could never let you go
