It appears the US distillation of the highlights of the core of Scandinavia is: Abba, Aebleskivers, Marvel's Thor, Swedish meatballs, Legos, and croquet through little carved wood horsies named Dala (Note: my impressions have no basis on actual culture) #Abba
This week in the next #TOTP year, Record Mirror published a letter from Neil in Birmingham asking after a remix of "Dancing queen" by #ABBA. RM agreed that ABBA were brilliant.
"With 'SOS' being nicked in the 'Edelweiss' novelty record perhaps the time is ripe for a comeback. A quick straw poll of the office revealed that 'Knowing me knowing you (ah-haaa)' is our fave Abs single."
"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" is a song by Swedish band #ABBA. It was recorded in August 1979 in order to help promote their North American and European tour of that year, and was released on ABBA's #GreatestHitsVol2 album as the brand new track. https://youtu.be/JWay7CDEyAI

Ten months ago, ‘The Great Thin-Down’ began, and The Vinyl Constituency has been in a sorry state. Now, circa 400 LPs lighter, and just in time for Christmas, it’s completely sorted and, oh, I have an early Christmas gift from my wife! ♥️😀 #VinylRecords#Vinyl#VinylCollection#ABBA
One surprising thing to me about Sweden was I didn't hear much ABBA music being played. You can't escape the damn Beatles in Liverpool but Sweden play it cool re: ABBA.
We did spend the majority of the trip deep in the woods or in the middle of a lake, but that wouldn't stop Liverpool.
The 4 members of ABBA showed up as recently as last year at the premiere of their Voyage avatar show in London. So perhaps they'll show up together next year for 2024 Eurovision in Sweden. It will be 50 years since they won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. I don't expect them to perform Waterloo, but it would be very nice if they would come on stage and wave to the worldwide audience.
