I was very surprised to find out recently that out of all the songs they have written, the biggest hit Bjorn and Benny have had in their home country wasn't an ABBA song. It wasn't even a song from one of their musicals. It was a song released in swedish in 2004 which was performed by Helen Sjoholm and BAO. (The Benny Andersson Orchestra).

This song got to no.1 in Sweden in 2004 and stayed there for an astonishing 38 weeks. It then went on to set a new swedish chart record by staying in the charts for 243 weeks. That's a chart run of over four and a half years! Can you imagine a song sticking around for that long? The Swedes must be thoroughly pig sick of it by now!

The good news is that the song has recently been recorded in english for the first time and here it is. The guys may have vowed never to reform ABBA, but they can still write an ABBA song when they want to because this sounds exactly like the ABBA of the early 70s.
