Waterloo was recorded in Dec 1973. Abba chose it over Hasta Manana to be the Swedish entry for Eurovision 1974, as it was a happy uptempo rocking song with rhythm and energy, and all the group sing. Stig Anderson took a demo tape on holiday to the Canary Isles. Stig agonised for a week to find the right title, then produced the original Swedish lyrics in a few hours, constructing a story of Waterloo as a metaphor for a girl surrendering to the love of a suitor. The rest is history, it was the first time Sweden had won Eurovision. The song rapidly became a worldwide hit after this huge success in Brighton in April 1974, reaching no. 1 in England on May 4 1974. This tv performance is from November 1974. Lyrics:
My, my, at Waterloo Napolean did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny
In quite a similar way,
The history book on the shelf,
Is always repeating itself,
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more,
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to,
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you,
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo,
My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems
My only chance is giving up the fight,
And how could I ever refuse,
I feel like I win when I lose,
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more,
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to,
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you,
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo,
So how could I ever refuse,
I feel like I win when I lose,
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to,
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you,
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo,
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you,
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo,
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you

ji61m — 03 de septiembre de 2008 — Abba "Waterloo" (Swedish Version) (1974)
From The Album "Waterloo"
Released March 4th, 1974
Written By Benny Andersson, Stig Anderson, And Bjorn Ulvaeus.
Produced By Benny Andersson And Bjorn Ulvaeus.
Engineer Michael B. Tretow
"Waterloo", At First Called "Honey Pie", Was The First Single From ABBA's Second Album "Waterloo".
"Waterloo" Was Originally Written As A Song For The 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, After The Group Finished Third With "Ring Ring" In The Previous Year's National Heats. Since It Foucused On Lead Singers Agnetha Faltskog And Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Bjorn And Benny Chose It In Place Of Another Of Their Songs, "Hasta Manana". "Waterloo" Is About A Girl Who Is About To Surrender To Romance, As Napoleon Had To Surrender At The Battle Of Waterloo In 1815. The Song Proved To Be A Good Choice, As It Sailed Through The Swedish Heats (In Sweden) In February 1974 And Won The Eurovision Song Contest That Year By Six Points!
The B-Side Of "Waterloo" Is "Honey Honey" (Swedish Version). The B-Side Of The English Version Is "Watch Out".
Another Big Thanks To Shay For This Version Of "Waterloo"!
