Waterloo 1974

Melodifestivalen 1974

"Frida, those clothes are just awesome!" Agnetha said with a smile. "Don't thank me! Thank Inger!"

"Okay then... But it was you who came up with the idea." Frida gave her a thankful smile. "Where is Björn?" she wondered then. "He's in the makeup loge" Benny said. "Will he also have stars which itch in the face?" Agnetha wondered and scrathed her cheek careful so the tiny, tiny stars did 't fall off. Frida laughed. "Yup, have had them in the face in just two minutes and I already hate them!" Benny laughed. "We can glue these in your face too if you're not a good boy!" Frida joked and took out one star and places it on Benny's nose. He just looked into her green-yellow eyes with a soft smile on his lips. Then they started to kiss.

After three minutes Björn came back. First he looked at Benny and Frida who kissed each other still, and then at Agnetha who sat in the couch and read a magazine. "Oh, good you came. Can you please tell these two snog-rats that they should prepare for the competition instead of eating up each other!" He laughed. "Sure. But haven't you told them then?"

"Trust me... I have tried..." Björn laughed again. "For how long have they...?"

"For five minutes!! I wonder if it's healthy..." Agnetha answered with a mad laugher. Frida and Benny heard Björn and Agnetha talk and stopped kissing. "I have thought about a thing guys. Everytime we have a performance, you two get more... how should I say it..? Horny... Is it nervousness or something?!" They started to laugh. "Maybe" Frida said. "But not every time though!"

"No, but almost every time. Like Melodifestivalen last year the day before  the competition at the hotel... And that time when..."

"Yeah, yeah! We understand!" Benny yelled. "But, to be honest... Benny is always a bit horny..." Frida said and gave him a little nudge. "What?! Not conpared to you!!" he yelled back. "Okay, you're both horny as hell... We understand now..." Agnetha said and everybody started to laugh.

It knocks on the door and Stikkan came in. "Hello guys, you seem to have fun... What the hell are you talking about?"

"The fact that Frida and Benny are the hornie..." Agnetha began. "But please! Shut up!" Benny yelled and tried to conceal his smile. Stikkan smiled. "Okay then. You win this now, okay?!"

They all mumbled a bit, they didn't want to believe too much as last year. "Of course you do! Your song is amazing!"

"Yeah, you've right!"

A woman showed behind Stikkan. "Five minutes left."

"Thank you!" Björn answered. Frida walked towards the mirror and put on more lipgloss because Benny kissed it all off earlier before they walked out hand in hand. "God, I'm so nervous..." Frida said with a breathless voice. "Me too..." Agnetha said. "It's weird how it's nervous everytime before a performance, even if you have performed a lot of times before and should be used to it" Björn said wondering. "Yeah..." Benny answered.

Agnetha suddenly started to smile. "What is it?" Frida wondered even she with a smile on her lips because her friend looked happy. "I just thought about how Linda will react when she see us on TV.." Frida laughed. "Probably confused..."

They heard the man in the speaker. "They were here last year and performed Ring, Ring. Now they are back with a new band name. Here is ABBA!!" They ran out and met the applauding public.

Jo, jo, vid Waterloo Napoleon fick ge sig.
Men, men, sitt öde kan man möta på så många skilda sätt.
Själv känner jag sen jag mött dig, historien upprepar sig!

Waterloo, jag är besegrad, nu ger jag mig.
Waterloo, lova mig nöjet att älska dig.
Waterloo, allting känns rätt, och det är min tro.
Waterloo, du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo.
Wa, wa, wa, wa Waterloo, du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo

Jo, jo, man värjer sig och fäktas i det längsta.
Men, men, mot känslor kämpar gudarna förgäves har man sagt.
Det är som jag hörde en sång,
jag tror det är kärlek på gång!

Waterloo....

"And the winner of Melodifestivalen 1974 is.... ABBA with Waterloo!!"

"Aaaahhhhh!!" they all shouted. They won!! They would represent Sweden in Eurovision Song Contest!!
