It's so funny how all these secret Abba fans came out of the closet after Mamma Mia came out.
I never took to punk, even as a teen it sounded like noise for the sake of

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'.
I remember as a tot seeing that "teach the world to sing" ad for coca cola on a black and white telly. We also did the whole dance routine for Brotherhood of Man's "kisses for me" in the playground.

I think she was a cross over punk/ new wave / rock

I think she was a better actress then a singer

Terrible voice, but from Birmingham so they you are.
Same as Blur's frontman Damon Allbarn is from Essex - sounds like he has a speech impediment.

What all this has got to do with Abba though is anybody's guess
