The scenes around the ruins were filmed in Oxford. Love that Cher is in it. Music royalty which is what Abba deserve ! I still wish Madonna had played the Meryl Streep part in the original. Would love also to see Madonna with Amanda Seyfried who I thought was the stand out in the first film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I kissed the teacher was never a favourite with me and looks kind of crow barred into the plot! If they've dropped summer night city again, I'll be fumin'!

When I kissed the teacher was never a favourite with me and looks kind of crow barred into the plot! If they've dropped summer night city again, I'll be fumin'! I am SO fussy about musicals and also about Abba music ! The girls harmonised better than anybody ( such magnificent singers ) and I have an insane want of brilliance in singing and dancing in musicals. I don't like the sound of the lead girl here. I love Angeleyes as well. One of my favourite Abba songs. My list of songs I would like Dance while the music still goes on Bang a Boomerang That's me - Have to have footage of an eagle flying with a dove Dum Dum Diddle - have to love a song where a girl wishes she was a violin called Dum Dum Diddle ! My love My Life Disillusion Eagle One man, One woman As good as new Kisses of Fire If it wasn't for the nights The king has lost his crown - Disaster and disgrace ! Love it Me and I One of us Head over heels Tropical Loveland The Piper The Day before you came When all is said and done Two for the price of one - major comedy relief Lovelight I've been waiting for you Hope also that Summer night city is there too. Hope Amanda Seyfried gets plenty of screen time and singing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always laughed at how " Why did it have to be me" and " Happy Hawaii" had the same melody but were so different in style and lyrics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Happy Hawaii is an early version released as a B-side. It's interesting how some of ABBAs melodies can be found in demos or early takes of their other recordings, e.g. Under Attack / Just Like That / When The Waves Roll Out To Sea (not really ABBA, I know) or Does Your Mother Know and Dream World.

Yes, I was going to say the same thing. They often reused elements of songs. Supposedly, they've very few Dennis in the vaults as they just wired with songs until they got them right rather than write a lot and keep the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoy hearing how they keep working on songs that appear in different versions so to speak. The overwhelming majority of their songs are great, singles, album songs and even songs that turned into other songs ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzy Jan 0 Posted June 28 Just now, Marco said: @Jazzy Jan Love that Cher is in this. Marco, did you know that Fernando was the song that had the record for being number 1 for the longest amount of weeks in Australia- 14 weeks - the record since 1976. Then who should break the record but Ed Sheeran with the most bland average song imaginable - The Shape of you. How annoying that such an average song could break the record. This says it all though. However, Sheeran's success on the singles chart has come at a time when the methods used to calculate sales are very different to the ABBA era. The ARIA singles charts are compiled using a mix of paid downloads on iTunes as well as streaming figures from Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora and other services. Some subscription services are available for free, leading some to argue it's difficult to compare the pure sales of ABBA from the vinyl era with the way music is now consumed.

I do think at some point they will have to look at streaming again as the current crop of artists are breaking records but don't appear to have any memorable tunes! Numbers are so inflated.
