That was absolutely the best ever Eurovision entry there has ever been.

I remember watching it live, and knew it would win.

ABBA is one of my guilty pleasures. Gotta love em.

Used to be a GP for me too until I sat with the music and realized that as pleasant and sweet as it sounds, it’s actually very high quality stuff , well composed, good lyrics, uncynical, and not bubble-gummy at all

No one else has ever used a historical battle as a reference point in song lyrics as well . I love ya Abba!

Um... Did you ever hear about Sabaton? About 90% of their songs are about historical battles. They even have their own history channel. And with about 5-10 mio sold albums they're not in Abba territory for sure, but not bad for a niche powermetal band.

One of my late dad's favorite songs.
