Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Driving back from the Beach today, this was playing on Sirius, Fernando by ABBA. Had forgotten how good their harmony was. Had us both humming during and afterwards. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Loved ABBA. Dancing Queen! Best memory of Fernando was the episode of Malcolm in the Middle where the youngest kid, Dewey, was helping out an elderly woman and they danced to Fernando. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Absolutely and unashamedly yes. One of my favorite groups right up there with The Kingston Trio and The Oak Creek Boys for sing along perfection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Sherron and I loved their music. I find now, my hearing is bad and many of the notes escape me. Even when I try to play the pipes, things sound off. Hopefully, the hearing aids I'm getting will help a little. Sucks getting old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Never was a big fan. Ain’t bad, but they were/are too sugary for my taste. Heart is/was a stronger more talented female act and also far more instrumentally accomplished. I never caught the “soft rock” bug. Just wasn’t/isn’t my cup of tea.

Because of your post I looked it up. I heard the song before, but I had no idea what they were saying. For those that are too lazy to look it up, super trouper is a spotlight.

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I liked their music up until 79-80, when they got weird. They eventually broke up in 82. Fernando is still my favorite song of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 saw them on TV when they performed Dancing Queen in front of King and Queen of Sweden. Queen really liked them one of my favorites, but then so is Marty Robbins, with a Big Iron on his Hip 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a name like Fernando, obviously they were going north. They were going to pick grapes and lettuce. And Fernando had a 22 rifle to shoot jackrabbits to feed themselves as they was going through the desert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Those girls were a couple of cuties! However, I wonder what that "something in the air that night" might have been? Mary Jane's perfume? Oh, well, if they were headed for Colorado, they wouldn't have had anything illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 (edited) Good song. ABBA had some great music, some deep ones mixed in with all the fluff, like Fernando. Two of my other favorites were The Winner Takes It All and Knowing Me Knowing You. If you've ever been through a divorce or even a break up they hit you. If you've ever walked thru the empty house and the old familiar rooms where children used to play, you'll get it. JHC Edited September 22 by Capt. James H.
