I know what you mean .... when they bought out Fernando , it was a little 'mimsy'. That's to say ... 'shopping trolley music' , lightweight, easy bop along, sweet and sickly.. A cut above Dawn and Bucks Fizz and Brotherhood of Man but still ... commercialised Top 20 pop.
I loved Waterloo and a few other notable tracks. My mum loved them, mind, she also loved the Carpenters and The New Seekers with their 'I'd like to teach the world to sing'.
