Captions Fifty years ago, ABBA triumphed at the 1974 Eurovision in the British city of Brighton with 'Waterloo'. Here are some fun facts about the iconic song:
• Originally titled ‘Honey Pie’, the song morphed into 'Waterloo' as Stikkan Anderson sought a perfect match for its catchy rhythm written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. In just one day, he crafted lyrics depicting a girl surrendering to love, mirroring Napoleon's surrender at Waterloo.
• ‘Waterloo’ marked the band’s transition from using their first names to the iconic acronym ABBA. They even got approval from Swedish fish conserves brand Abba, which famously replied: 'You can keep the name, just don’t embarrass us'.
• ABBA broke Eurovision norms with 'Waterloo', swapping typical power ballads for glittery guitars and dance tunes.
• The album cover was shot at Gripsholm Castle, about an hour south-west of Stockholm. Featuring as Napoleon in the background was bass guitarist Mike Watson, who was slighly shorter.
• The music video was directed by the band's friend Lasse Hallström, who has since earned three Oscar nominations for films like 'Hachi: A Dog's Tale' and 'The Cider House Rules'.
• The iconic costumes were designed by Inger Svenneke, often called Swedish Vivienne Westwood, and ABBA’s Frida (Anni-Frid Lyngstad), who had a strong interest in fashion.
• 'Waterloo' has repeatedly been voted the best-ever Eurovision song, including by BBC viewers in 2005 and 2020.
