ABBA - Rapport 1974
This clip was broadcasted in Sweden in 1974 after the Eurovision Song Contest.Translation:Ulf Gudmunsson: "Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Was this unexpected?"Anni-Frid Lyngstad: "I would have to say yes. I hardly dared to hope for it."UG: "But did you feel that this song would hit home with the European audience?"AL: "Yes, I felt that we stood a fair chance. But I never thought we would win."UG: "What was it about this song that you thought would appeal to people?"AL: "I think the title, to a great extent. Waterloo.UG: "Stikkan Anderson. You wrote this song. Why does one write a schlager about waterloo?"Stikkan Anderson: "When you write a Eurovision schlageryou dont write a schlager for Sweden but for Europe and the rest of the world. The first thing you do is to take title that you think will be understood by everybody. Last years song was similar. It was called Ring Ring. That title was the same in all other languages. Last year you did a schlager about telephoning each other."UG: "This year you did a schlager about how 40,000 people died. Cynically put"SA: "Yes, that was very cynically put. That was not our intention. Waterloo is a famous concept all over the world. It represents something that has happened in history. It doesnt have anything to do with people dying. Nice angle, I must say."UG: "What does it mean for Sweden and Swedish schlager production to win this event?"SA: "To start with, I think it means a lot to Sweden as a tourist country. Sweden has been doing this for 19 years and entered the Eurovision, and now we finally won it. So, next year, journalists from all over the world will come to Stockholm."Credits to translation: Sara (www.abbaontv.com)
