The ABBA members were among the guests attending the birthday party at Stig's big house in Stockholm. ABBA arrived at 7 am. Björn and Benny went into Stikkan's villa Ekarnes through the window. The first present for Stikkan was a little cabaret with dance performed by among others Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Görel Hanser, Lena Ulvaeus and Lillebil Ankarcrona. They sang songs especially written for Stikkan. The party continued a whole day.

HOVAS VITTNE/TIVEDSHAMBO
FRAGMENTO:
El 25 de Enero de 1981, Stig Anderson celebraría su cumpleaños No.50, y como ya lo habían hecho con Görel Hanser para su cumpleaños No.30, Björn y Benny escribieron y grabaron “Hovas Vittne” como especial regalo para él. La divertida letra, escrita por los cuatro integrantes de ABBA, Michael Tretow y el diseñador de álbumes Rune Söderqvist, incluía referencias al perro de Stig llamado Lucas, su amor por todo tipo de salchichas y su afición por alcanzar los semitonos en alguna parte de una canción, lo cual ABBA, en realidad, logran hacerlo en ésta canción. El nombre de la canción lo relaciona a Stig con Hova, el pequeño pueblo Sueco donde nació.
Solo existen 200 copias de ésta canción realizada en un disco vinilo rojo de 12”. Todas las copias fueron entregadas a los invitados del cumpleaños No.50 de Stig Andersson. Esta canción no fue realizada oficialmente y en la actualidad no está disponible en ningún formato.
El 24 de Enero ABBA grabó un video clip con ésta canción en Estocolmo. El clip muestra a ABBA con su vestuario que lucieron en Eurovisión 1974 cantando "Waterloo" (aunque Agnetha no lucía sus pantalones originales de satén que usó en 1974, y quizás, esta vez, una versión más ajustada. Tampoco Benny usó jeans en aquel Eurovisión Song Contest. Aparentemente Frida y Björn utilizó el vestuario original del '74, aunque Björn agregó una camiseta negra por debajo).
El clip fue dirigido por Kurt Hjelte y transmitido por la TV Sueca el 03 de Mayo de 1981 en el programa "Om Svar Anhålles" en el cual Stig fue entrevistado.

Swedish lyrics:
HOVAS VITTNE
Från Hova kom
det en bonnläpp det svängde om
Släpa och slet och snodde
och sen så småningom
på dur och moll
blev han rikare än ett troll
Nu är hans dagar fyllda
utav tunga beslut
Lukas ska ut
Backen ska saltas
korven ska kokas
Lukas ska ut
Hovas vittne knallarnas röst
Västergötlands stämma på jorden
Sångarhjärta klappar i ditt bröst
pennan glöder, upp flyga orden
Raska klackar slå ännu
som ett jehu är du
Hovas vittne ger aldrig upp
Hovas vittne
Full fart framåt flaggan i topp
Hos dig på fest
när man sitter och trivs som mest
hör man någonting som surrar
en dammsugareprotest
Från den Parnasse
tar du flyget i första klass
Djurgården Honolulu
om du kommer fram
enligt program
med ditt bagage i Rom
och Gudrun i Amsterdam
Hovas vittne knallarnas röst
Västergötlands stämma på jorden
Sångarhjärta klappar i ditt bröst
pennan glöder, upp flyga orden
Raska klackar slå ännu
som ett jehu är du
Vi och du är långhalm och ler
Full fart bakåt
Hovas vittne, vad som än sker
Stikke-Stikkan
Det är befogat denna gång
Trots att du tycker att låten
blir för lång
Stikke-Stikkan
Det har vi skrivit i den tron
att du blir glad om vi höjer
en halv ton
Hovas vittne knallarnas röst
Västergötlands stämma på jorden
Sångarhjärta klappar i ditt bröst
pennan glöder, upp flyga orden
Raska klackar slå ännu
som ett jehu är du
Hovas vittne ger aldrig upp
Hovas vittne
Full fart framåt flaggan i topp
Hurra!
English lyrics:
(Songs like this can't be translated directly, as there are many word gimmicks/tricks in the Swedish lyrics).
HOVA'S WITNESS
From Hova came
a swinging country bumpkin
Dragged, pulled and sought out
and then so gradually
in major and minor (keys)
became richer than a troll
Now his days are filled with hard decisions
Lukas has to go out
The bacon is salted
The sausage should be boiled
Lukas has to go out
Hova's witness, the salesman's voice
Västergötland's voice on the earth
A singer's heart beats in your chest
The pen glows, up flies words
Swift heels beat still
You are like a hurricane
Hova's witness never gives up
Hova's witness
Full speed ahead
The flag to the top
You're with him at his party
You're sitting there and like the others are happy
You hear a buzzing noise
a vacuum cleaner protests
From your Parnassus
you take a first class flight
from Djurgården to Honolulu
If it goes forward and you get there
according to plan
your luggage is in Rome
and Gudrun's in Amsterdam
Hova's witness...
...like a hurricane
we and you are like straw and clay
full speed backwards
Hova's witness, whatever happens
The 'Stick' Stikkan
It's justified this time
in spite of the fact that you think the song
is too long
The 'Stick' Stikkan
We wrote it because we believe
that you will be pleased if we raised it
one half note
Hova's witness...
...flag to the top
Hurrah!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stig 'Stikkan' Erik Leopold Anderson (né Andersson) (25 January 1931 – 12 September 1997) was born in Hova, Sweden, and is best known as the manager of the pop group ABBA.
As well as being the manager of the Swedish supergroup, Anderson was also the founder of the Polar Music record label. Initially beginning his career as a chemistry and mathematics teacher after leaving school at the age of 15,[1] Anderson soon migrated to the Swedish music scene, becoming a music producer, manager and also occasional performer. He had begun writing songs as early as 1951, and in 1959 he got his breakthrough with the song "Är du kär i mig ännu, Klas-Göran?" ("Are You Still In Love With Me, Klas-Göran?"), written for Swedish singer Lill-Babs. During the 1960s he was one of Sweden's most prolific songwriters, producing more than 3,000 published titles. Anderson also founded Sweden Music in 1960, as well as several other companies. By the late 1960s, he was the manager and producer of Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (the two main songwriters of ABBA), joining the careers of these two after Anderson managed the Hootenanny Singers. Later in 1972 he began managing Anni-Frid Lyngstad, and finally in 1976 Agnetha Fältskog (until December 1975, Fältskog was still bound to Cupol/CBS Records under a contract). In the early stages of ABBA, Anderson co-wrote a large part of the songs' lyrics, among them some of the band's biggest hits, such as "Ring Ring" (1973), "Waterloo" (1974), "Honey, Honey" (1974) , "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" (1975), "Mamma Mia" (1975), "S.O.S" (1975), "Fernando" (1976), "Dancing Queen" (1976), "Knowing Me, Knowing You" (1977) and "The Name of the Game" (1977).
Anderson was one of the dominant figures behind ABBA, representing their commercial interests and global success through successful record deals. At the same time, he also managed the investment of funds and the enormous financial incomes of Polar Music. In the mid 1980s a considerable part of ABBA's fortune was, however, lost by mismanagement, bad investments, high demands for tax and the rise of credit rates. Three of the four ABBA members terminated their relationship with Anderson when it was revealed that Anderson had taken a percentage of profits at a value of 4.5 million euros over the course of many years. A complaint against Anderson was submitted to the Stockholm District Court in June 1990 by Agnetha Fältskog's company Agnetha Fältskog Produktion AB, Benny Andersson's company Mono Music AB, as well as a Dutch company holding Björn Ulvaeus' rights. Anni-Frid Lyngstad sold all her shares in the Polar Music company in 1982 as she moved abroad. The dispute was settled out of court in July 1991; the terms of the settlement remain undisclosed.
In 1989, Anderson made a substantial financial donation and founded the Polar Music Prize. The following year, shortly before the ABBA members took him to court over royalty back payments, he sold the Polar Music company with nearly all utilisation and license rights and the registered ABBA trademark for an unknown sum of money to PolyGram. Previously, Anderson licenced ABBA and the members' solo releases to various labels worldwide as a way to earn more royalties. In 1998, PolyGram was in turn sold to Seagram and merged into what is now one of the Big Four record labels, the Universal Music Group, the company that today holds the rights to the entire ABBA back catalogue.
Anderson's daughter, Marie Ledin (wife of Swedish star and ABBA concert backing vocalist Tomas Ledin) started a new, highly successful record label in the mid 1980s, Record Station (sold to German BMG in the early 90s), followed by Anderson Records, which released Anni-Frid Lyngstad's Swedish comeback album Djupa andetag in 1996 as well as Michael B. Tretow's Greatest Hits in 1999.
Stig Anderson was married to Gudrun Anderson, and also had two sons, Anders and Lasse. On September 12, 1997, at age 66, Stig Anderson died of a heart attack. [1] His funeral was broadcast live by Sveriges Television, an honour otherwise only reserved for distinguished statesmen or royalty.
