Andante, Andante

I love Slipping Through My Fingers; but my favourite of all is Happy New Year.

It makes me both happy and optimistic at the sentiment, as well as sad at the passing of time and nostalgic to hear them wondering what life will be like ten years after they sang it... which itself is now 36 years ago.

I admit to absolutely hating Super Trouper when it first came out in late 1980. Then again there were a few records around at that time that I loathed - I must have been having a bad time of it. ST has since grown on me. I was never keen on the ABBA disco-ish stuff like Summer Night City and Voulez Vous.

The Winner Takes It All and Dancing Queen.

Dancing Queen. Just brings me back to my nieces and nephews weddings The minute the band played the opening bars everyone was up on the floor. Mad times. I like Angel Eyes also. My sister and the groom's mum did a choreographed medley of Abba songs for daughter and son's wedding and my god it was just amazing. That song was one of the medley, and they rehearsed the dancing over weeks and weeks. It was something I'll always remember.

I'm so old I remember the Eurovision and Waterloo - watching it live. One of the best bands/groups out there. I doubt there's a person on the planet who doesn't recognise any of the songs.

Take a Chance on Me. Not their best but it transports me back to the school disco and very happy memories.
Otherwise, Dancing Queen and Knowing Me,Knowing You. Love Abba.

The Way Old Friends Do

it’s a beautiful song

ResusciAnnie · 04/10/2025 13:13

Honey Honey! I borrowed my friend’s cassette and copied it and wrote down all the lyrics. This was 1997 so abba were already retro!

The Name of The Game

I also love the Mamma Mia film version of When All is Said and Done and Our Last Summer.

Our last summer

TheTecknician · 04/10/2025 13:25

I still call KMKY 'Gnawing Me, Gnawing You' after a Beano Dennis the Menace strip where he and his pals were singing this!

Arrival is a quite competent instrumental. It has a Celtic bagpipey feel to it.

Dancing Queen, Gimme Gimme Gimme (a man after midnight) , SOS, Knowing Me, Knowing You

oh I could go on.

I was a fan back in the late 70s when it wasn’t cool to be an ABBA fan. Got the proverbial taken out of me at school. Those same friends now join me at ABBA Voyage giving it all “Dancing Queen”. 😂🎶🎶

ImWearingPantaloons · 04/10/2025 14:19

mamma Mia - one of the first songs I ever remember hearing on the radio as a very little girl.

Name of the game
slipping through my fingers make me cry. But I love it

Justdancevance · 04/10/2025 21:43

I think the winner is such a beautiful honest song but so sad.

I love Sinead O’Connor’s Version of chiquita

suburburban · 04/10/2025 21:49

I do, I do, I do

Gingercar · 04/10/2025 21:49

Lay all your love on me.

pointythings · 04/10/2025 22:38

I love the sad ones.

So in no particular order:

When all is said and done
The winner takes it all
The day before you came
The visitors

Rufus27 · 04/10/2025 22:39

Happy NewYear

My 4 yo says his favourite is Mamma Mia and his second favourite is Fernando. 1 yo demands that I sing Mamma Mia to him while I change his nappy. My favourite is Waterloo.
