ABBA performing "Waterloo" in Star Parade Germany. Look at the 2:08 minute. Agnetha gets confused: while everybody is looking at the camera Agnetha is turning her back, and Björn laughs at her
Did you know...
*The studio name of Waterloo was "Honey pie"
* ABBA had a lot of problems to perform Waterloo in Eurovision.When they arrived to Brighton, London where the Eurovision Song Contest was going to be celebrated, Stig had an interview with an executive of the British music publisher. When he heard the song, he was horrified, and he said they will never have the chance to win.Further, many people bet that Olivia Newton-John was going to win. On the rehearsals, the track where the song was recorded didnt work and a woman from Sweden started to criticize them, because she said that ABBA had stolen pieces of some songs. Anyway, they continued working.When they finished their presentation, people said that they were not going to win because their song was not in their native language, but when they won, everybody had to stop criticizing.ABBA never gave up, thats why they have reached such a great place in the musical world.

Sabias que...
*El nombre original de Waterloo era "Honey pie"
*ABBA tuvo muchos problemas para presentar Waterloo en Eurovision.Cuando llegaron a Brighton, Inglaterra donde se llevo a cabo el festival,Stig tuvo una entrevista con un representante de la empresa publicadora de musica en Inglaterra, y él al escuchar la canción, dijo que nunca tendrÃan la oportunidad de ganar.Todos apostaban que Olivia newton-john iba ganar. En los ensayos, la pista donde tenian grabada la cancion no funcionó y una mujer sueca los acusó de haber robado algunas partes de otras canciones.De todos modos ABBA siguió trabajando.Cuando acabaron la presentación mucha gente gente afirmaba que no ganarian porque no haber cantado la cancion en su lenguaje nativo(sueco), pero cuando ABBA ganó,todos tuvieron que dejar de criticar.ABBA nunca se rindió, por eso es que han llegado tan lejos en el mundo de la música.
