You think you know Abba pretty well?
Identify their songs, written out for you here in their native Swedish!
Limit two to begin.
Ha det god!

Hi K, wonderful idea for a quiz. Purely guesses:

#14...Dancing Queen?

#15...Honey Honey?

My Swedish is completely non-existant, so these have been hastily cobbled together in my mind...

#16. 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do'

#17. 'Thank You For The Music'

No mystery here. The Dutch word for "visitor" is "bezoeker", it's as easy as that. ;)

#18 is The Name of the Game

is #12 Does Your Mother Know? ???

#19 must be Eagle, I guess.

and I think #2 is When I Kissed the Teacher, or something like that.

#20 sounds like it could be something like As Good As New, but that's not a song I'm familiar with.

Evil using online translation. In my hint i said that it did not translate well. BUT

Why autoriserat not which signs approval of product with on I become?

Knowing the answer, that jibberish sentence actually almost makes sense.
Henk, you can't take a stab at this one? Focus on your Abba titles and then compare to the words in Swedish.
You'll get it.

If only I could. :-\\ The only Abba titles I know, are those of their singles (well, the ones that made it to Dutch charts anyway), and this isn't one of them. There are no Abba albums in my record collection.

The ones I got right were just estimated guesses, based on similarities between Swedish and Dutch. I don't know "When I Kissed The Teacher" or "As Good As New".
