Take a Billion Dollar Chance on Me Then, along comes ABBA to confound everyone. Four years ago, a German entertainment company offered the Swedish super-group one billion dollars to reunite for a world tour. Yes, that’s right: $1,000,000,000. “It’s never going to happen,” ABBA guitarist Bjorn Ulvaeus told them. http://www.musicinsight.c.../02/21.htm ABBA: Won't Do Reunion Tour
Not even for a billion dollars. Really. . / [This message was edited Fri Aug 27 21:27:08 2004 by Supernova] I think you will find if you do the proper research it was a billion Swedish Kronor. Which in UK sterling is somewhere around 70 - 80 million pounds. [This message was edited Sat Aug 28 4:12:39 2004 by petski] | |

I like the song but it's not one of my favorites. I can listen to it but I just can't get fully into it. Andy is a four letter word. | |

[This message was edited Sat Aug 28 4:12:39 2004 by petski] The offer was made by a British-American consortium, and over the years everytime I see a report about it it states 1 billion dollars. Anything beyond that, I'm sure somebody else will do the research, as it's not important enough for me. ` [This message was edited Sat Aug 28 11:01:47 2004 by Supernova] This post not for the wimp contingent.

blackguitaristz said: Can this perhaps be one of the best pop songs? Not just disco, this has so many ingredients that makes it special. From the piano slide the opens the song (very similar to "I Want You Back" from the Jackson Five) to the great music, (that hi-hat), great lyrics and great vocals, this song is the epitome of everything that was great about the 70's. Not just kids, but grown people believing that dreams can come true, beautiful girls with big blown dry hair and strawberry flavored lip gloss and making out for 6 hours! This song is special. Anyone out there in space digs this song as well?
It's a great song, but they play it so f*cking much at the gay bars, I've really started to despise it. | |
