You think you know Abba pretty well?
Identify their songs, written out for you here in their native Swedish!
Limit two to begin.
Ha det god!

Thanks, I now have to sit back and wait the others.

Cool idea, Karen! :)

#3: Knowing Me, Knowing You
#6: The Visitors

Hi K, wonderful idea for a quiz. Purely guesses:

#14...Dancing Queen?

#15...Honey Honey?

My Swedish is completely non-existant, so these have been hastily cobbled together in my mind...

#16. 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do'

#17. 'Thank You For The Music'

I'll post scores so far in a minute....but i'm surprised at how many people know these titles!!

4. Take A Chance On Me
13. Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)

#6: The Visitors

No mystery here. The Dutch word for "visitor" is "bezoeker", it's as easy as that. ;)

As soon as I saw that answer from you, i smacked my head and yelled "D'oh"! Good thing I limited you! ;D
I"ll take the limit off tomorrow.

Is #10 Mamma Mia ?

#18 is The Name of the Game

is #12 Does Your Mother Know? ???

#19 must be Eagle, I guess.

and I think #2 is When I Kissed the Teacher, or something like that.

#20 sounds like it could be something like As Good As New, but that's not a song I'm familiar with.

Total and complete guess:

#11 Waterloo ?

I should have come to this board sooner!
2.When I kissed the teacher.

5.One man one woman

9.Dance while the music still goes on.

11. Mamma Mia?

Total and complete guess:

#11 Waterloo ?


Sorry, no Mamma Mia nor Waterloo.

#10...Hasta Manana??

#11 Chiquitita ?

1. Does your mother know?

#10...Hasta Manana??

10. "Hasta Ma

Excuse me from doing this, but #1 translates as:

I just translated the above phrase into French and back to English and it came out as:

Why autoriserat not which signs approval of product with on I become?

That same phrase in Dutch is;

Waarom autoriserat niet dat productteken aan geworden I?

Jibberish! :D

And even more jibberish! :D :D

The online translator is now offering me a 30 day subscription and I cannot translate any more.

Evil using online translation. In my hint i said that it did not translate well. BUT

Why autoriserat not which signs approval of product with on I become?

Knowing the answer, that jibberish sentence actually almost makes sense.
Henk, you can't take a stab at this one? Focus on your Abba titles and then compare to the words in Swedish.
You'll get it.

If only I could. :-\\ The only Abba titles I know, are those of their singles (well, the ones that made it to Dutch charts anyway), and this isn't one of them. There are no Abba albums in my record collection.

The ones I got right were just estimated guesses, based on similarities between Swedish and Dutch. I don't know "When I Kissed The Teacher" or "As Good As New".

At one time I did have a Swedish-English dictionary, now where did I put it?

11. "Rock Me."

11. "Rock Me."


You are the best. Nice Abba skills!

Well, it ended in "me" and "Take a Chance on Me" was too long (and already taken).

The only "why" title I can think of is "Why Did It Have To Be Me."
