    Which ABBA songs exist in Swedish version?

    Question #101674. Asked by synlar. (Dec 13 08 12:31 PM)

    		Fernando and Waterloo are two of them that I know of. Fernando was done in Swedish by Lyngstad and was a hit in Sweden before ABBA recorded the english version and had a hit with it. Waterloo was originally done in Swedish just before the 1974 Eurovision song contest.

    		ABBA recorded only a handul of their songs in their own mother tongue...They usually left it to other artists to record Swedish versions of ABBA songs.

    Snipets:

    "Ah Vilka Tilder" was never recorded in English. Swedish versions of "Waterloo" -- Ring Ring" and "Honey Honey" as well as the rare Swedish 1973 "Ah Vilka Tider" -- "Att finnas till" and "En Karusell" (a Swedish version of "Merry Go Round" -- Frida
    would record a Swedish version of "Fernando" for her FRIDA ENSAM album (the song was orginally intended for her and not for ABBA) Likewise, Agnetha did "SOS" and "Disillusion" in Swedish for her 1975 ELVA KVINNOR.
