And The Odd One Out Is...
Hi

this is a game that was on the old abba site but it isnt on this one (i think). :twisted: SO I'M GONNA HAVE IT FOR MY SELF AND TAKE ALL THE GLORY AND...AND...AND... :twisted:

I'm sorry :roll: please forgive me. i didn't mean to get carried away. lol

Pretty obvious really. i give four things to do with abba and someone else has to guess which is the odd one out. for instance

Anni-Frid Lyngstad
Benny Andersson
Anders Hanser
Bjorn Ulveaus

but the key to this is that you may (but you dont have to) put in a trap to catch people out. see the obvious answer here would be Anders is the odd one out because he isn't a band member. However, in actual fact, Benny is the odd one out because the others where born in 1945 and he was born in 1946.

so you have to say who is the odd one out and why

and if your person is right but the reason is wrong then you lose and it is still open for answers. although you can of course guess again

and so after an unnecessarily long start :lol: here are the opening four

Conociéndome, Conociéndote
Dame, Dame, Dame
Andante, Andante (Spanish version)
Fernando

good luck people

I thought that we had established in page one that the right song was Suzy-hang-Around :roll:

Bromers

bromers - 24.11.2006, 22:35

Hi

i agee that could be what it was but it isn't the reason i had in mind.

trust me it's Suzy-Hang-Around

Bromers

bromers - 25.11.2006, 23:35

hi

nope

lol

time for a clue?

ask for one and you can have one lol

Bromers

bromers - 26.11.2006, 19:05

Hi

no still no-one has managed to get it.

lol

Bromers

spong - 26.11.2006, 20:45

hello

i do not see why it shouldn't be , John
is it because the other three are about a personal relationship and
Suzy hang around is not?

gary :D

bromers - 30.11.2006, 23:31

Hi

can't anyone work it out???

bromers

bromers - 02.12.2006, 21:09

Hi

those are the recording started dates
the copyright dates are as follows

i've been waiting for you 1974
suzy 1973
watch out 1974
waterloo 1974

this had gone on for long enough any way.
you where close enough too so its your turn gary

bromers

bromers - 02.12.2006, 21:28

Hi

yes but i wasnt talking about the early versions was i?

i was talking about the copyright years of the songs i stated.

if i had wanted to reffer to honey pie and where is the sunshine i would have said honey pie and where is the sunshine wouldn't i?

bromers

Nantes - 04.12.2006, 20:39

Waterloo 2.45 because its the only odd number seconds wise and its the only one in English. Last bit a guess.

John

spong - 17.12.2006, 12:37

hello

i just realised i was being pikky.

the odd timed one is correct but it was not the reason.
look on the "30th" edition and you'll see the reason i want.

gary :D

spong - 23.12.2006, 11:42

hello

yes !
well done , bro ! and sorry for taking sooo long.

next ?

gary :D

idh123 - 23.12.2006, 15:18

Waterloo.

Because TWTIA & TACOM & MM are all in the story of Mamma Mia The Musical. Where Waterloo is only in the Fun Encore?

Ian :?:

spong - 25.12.2006, 10:32

hello

TWTIA ? bescause it is about breaking up and the other 3 are not ?

gary :D

Nantes - 30.12.2006, 16:46

Christmas Cheer whats that?
Pictures I've runout
so Bro no your not Right.

do you want another clue?
Pity I can't think of one

Nantes - 31.12.2006, 03:44

Nope your wrong as well, thats not the answer I'm looking for either

Nantes - 04.01.2007, 10:43

No Gary, I'm getting abit worried people seem to think THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL is my favourite song!!!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Waterloo has been guessed and so has The Winner both wrong must be one of the other two then but which one!

Nantes - 04.01.2007, 20:14

Gary I think most people know my fav. song but your wrong again its not Mamma Mia either, Waterloo was also the first song on the LP Waterloo.

So only one left.
So why is it the odd one out!!

Nantes - 05.01.2007, 10:42

Yeah as Take a Chance OnMe was the only song left it had to be that one. But why is it Take a Chance On Me?

Nantes - 08.01.2007, 18:21

Gary you nearly got (I don't think so!)

Try looking at the British charts!!!

John

Nantes - 08.01.2007, 19:51

nope wrong again

Nantes - 15.01.2007, 15:44

Nope, but it has to do with the being at number one!

John

Nantes - 18.01.2007, 19:54

Gary the curly whirly is yours!!
:lol:
Now over to you.

John

Nantes - 19.01.2007, 22:55

Frida because it does start with the A to make up ABBA.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Summer Night City
One Of Us
Fernando

Nantes - 20.01.2007, 01:33

Agnetha, Bjorn and benny are Swedish
Frida is Norwegian
or
Agnetha as she was born in the 50's and Bjorn, Benny and Frida were born in the 40's

Nantes - 20.01.2007, 01:46

Spong read the first part of my answer :lol:

spong - 12.02.2007, 00:08

restareabear - 16.02.2007, 00:48

Is if Fernando? The others all have 3 words in the title but not Fernando.

restareabear - 16.02.2007, 15:51

OK, here's an easy one:

restareabear - 16.02.2007, 18:44

Right on Gary!

Your turn!
:D

edwinwilde - 22.02.2007, 00:20

Here Comes Rubie Jamie because is the only one that doesn't appear on a proper ABBA album release.

edwinwilde - 23.02.2007, 00:35

The odd one out:

ABBA album.
Super Trouper album.
The Visitors album.

edwinwilde - 23.02.2007, 01:10

Nantes wrote: Abba album,
The other two have title tracks on them.

John

Well, I didn't make this odd one out thingy for that reason, but that's another good way to see it.

What the heck, you can continue. :D

spong - 23.02.2007, 11:30

hello

i'll hazard the obvious guess.
Super Trouper because it was done in the 80's

or ABBA-The Album because it's Swedish release date was a different year to it's UK date.

and Edwinwilde. what was yours?

gary :D

restareabear - 25.02.2007, 05:27

John, this may be so WAY out in left field it's ridiculous, but is it Super Trouper because there are 4 syllables in the title, and the other 3 albums only have 3 syllables in their titles?

edwinwilde - 26.02.2007, 00:19

The Album, because it's the only studio album from that list that doesn't have 10 tracks.


My answer was The Album but because it was the only album from the ones I put that wasn't released in the month of November. That was the reason. :D

spong - 26.02.2007, 11:52

hello

Arrival.

Mamma Mia
SOS
I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do
So Long


Toni

Toni - 14.04.2007, 00:37

Hello John, youŽre right, but that is not exactly the answer I want to hear.

Please try it again!


Toni :D

Toni - 14.04.2007, 12:34

Yes, Gary, youŽre right with "So Long". But I want to hear another reason. The answer is very simple.


Toni :wink:

Nantes - 15.04.2007, 02:49

Toni got my thinking cap on and Gary So Long was an A side in The United Kingdom but it failed to chart the B- side was I've Been waiting For You.

Toni still thinking!!
John

Toni - 15.04.2007, 09:24

Laura......... ,ok I accept your answer! :D :applause:


What I meant is that "So Long" is from 1974, while the other three songs are from 1975! 8)


Laura, John & Gary: one of you can go on with the next one!


Toni

Toni - 15.04.2007, 13:24

Yes, it is indeed me. (the foto was taken last full moon!)





Toni :D

spong - 15.04.2007, 19:00

hello Toni wrote: Yes, it is indeed me. (the foto was taken last full moon!)Toni :D

and John:..is it Mamma Mia because it is a musical?

gary :D

Lammer - 15.04.2007, 19:24

John, how about Eagle? The other three songs have the word "kiss" in them or it is implied there was kissing involved (Mamma Mia is about a relationship). No smooching in Eagle. Oh, you mean you wanted a well-thought-out reason? You won't get one from me.

Toni, I think you are cute as a fuzzy fellow. I actually think this smiley looks like you:

:wink:

Put it up in your next post so you can see it next to your picture.

:)

Nantes - 15.04.2007, 22:25

Ok Guys not going to be around for the next two days, so I've told Gill the answer and she'll keep an eye out for me.

No pressure on you Gill and don't let them bully you into giving the answer away

Lammer - 16.04.2007, 01:16

Hiiiiiiii, Gill!
Okay, just between us gals, let's talk girl-stuff. Do you like Oprah? Do you get your nails done? Do you like chocolate? Has Aunt Flo still been by for a visit? (Have to scare the boys away.)

Well, it isn't Eagle or Mamma Mia, so how about When I Kissed the Teacher. Eagle has one word, MM has two words, KOF has three words, but WIKTT does not fit the pattern, as it has five words. Once again, I repeat, if you want a valid, musical reason, you won't get one from me.

We'll miss you John!

:)

spong - 16.04.2007, 15:09

hello

is it KOF 'cos that's what i do? :lol:

gary :D

spong - 17.04.2007, 10:21

hello kitty-cat wrote: Right song but i need a reason:DGill xx
isn't the fact my kisses are FIRE enough , dahling?

KOF is not the start track of the album it is on.

gary :D

spong - 17.04.2007, 18:57

hello

but the other 3 are the start song off their respective albums?

gary :D

spong - 17.04.2007, 21:53

hello

if it not either of the last two reasons i have given i don't know why i'm playing...Kisses of Fire closes the "official" album.

i have said the other three start albums and i have said KOF does not and now i have said KOF actually finneshes the album (when it first came out.
now i am saying KOF was not on a video or Gold or More Gold or indeed the sound and vision version of the Definitive collestion

if this is not enough i give up.

gary :D

kitty-cat - 17.04.2007, 23:12

Sorry Gary, my fault, you got the answer right.

Gill xx

kitty-cat - 17.04.2007, 23:22

Jack cos he's not here :(

gill xx

kitty-cat - 17.04.2007, 23:31

Me cos i'm a girl :D

Gill xx

Lammer - 18.04.2007, 06:33

The exact reason...
Not only is Gill a girl, but John, Jack, and Gary are blokes. Is that exact? Gill is more of a Frida-fan, while John and Gary (and Jack too?) are Agnetha-fans (of course, you are all fans of both, bla bla bla usual disclaimer so as not to cause a fight on site).

:?:

Regarding your KOF, Gary, we really have to get Elaine on site and ask her!

kitty-cat - 18.04.2007, 17:39

I can even answer this cos it concerns me, oh and yeah GAry keep running :evil:

You can do the next one, Gary!


Toni :wink1:

Nantes - 06.05.2007, 11:40

Mamma Mia,

The others were all B-Sides

Toni - 07.05.2007, 19:38

"Crazy World" :bjorn: because itŽs from 1976 and was not on the original "ABBA" LP?


Toni :wink1:

Gonna Sing You My Lovesong
IŽve Been Waiting For You
Kisses Of Fire
Me And Bobby And BobbyŽs Brother


Toni :rotate:

Toni - 08.05.2007, 17:01

No, itŽs not "Kisses Of Fire". :agnetha:


Toni :wink:

Good answer, Bromers, but as said it isnŽt "Kisses Of Fire".

It has something to do with :love4: .....

ItŽs your turn, Bromers!

quite a few people come and post once then forget where we are.snif.

Lammer - 15.05.2007, 19:08

Sorry!! I haven't been on much in the last few days...

Thanks, John and Gary. Here goes:

Cassandra
Fernando
Hamlet III
King Kong Song

:)

Lammer - 16.05.2007, 05:25

Wow, it's like you read my mind. :confused: Yes, Fernando it is, because King Kong, Cassandra, and Hamlet were already famous characters before ABBA songs. Fernando is a character ABBA created.

Go, Gary!

:)

Lammer - 16.05.2007, 18:24

I Saw It In the Mirror, because it doesn't have the word "you" in it? Or is it something more complicated than that? :wink:

Lammer - 22.05.2007, 07:23

Me and I? Because it was released in 1980, whereas the others were released in the 1970's...

:)

Lammer - 22.05.2007, 22:59

Okay, the meaning of "chuck your dummy" sunk somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean between you and me. What are you saying? Is that what the guy with the bat is doing to the other guy? Chucking a dummy?

Next:
:wine:
:kiss:
:angel:
:flush:

Lammer - 23.05.2007, 06:31

Oh, I got it now, the "chuck your dummy." Yeah, we use "chuck" that way, too (to throw something out), but we don't have that expression for throwing a tantrum. I often say "pitch a fit."

And, yes, you are right!

1. "No more champagne"
2. Any number of ABBA love songs
3. Like an angel passing through my room

but
4. I can't think of any ABBA songs about a toilet. :wink:

Your turn.

Lammer - 24.05.2007, 02:26



Free as a Bumblebee, because it doesn't have a number in the title?

:)

spong - 25.05.2007, 10:36

hello

sorry Toni , Laura's right.

gary :D

spong - 25.05.2007, 22:08

hello

yes , yes , i've done that other game :roll:

Here comes Rubie Jamie 'cos it wasn't on an album originally?
or it was a working title/

gary :D

spong - 26.05.2007, 00:59

hello

we could (whistling of the wind as the tumbleweed goes past)
unless Toni comes to our rescue?
personally , i don't mind that much if i have you all to me self...bwahaha.

gary :D

Nantes - 26.05.2007, 21:21

:lol: Laura you're getting as bad as me, I went though a period when ever time I touched the keyboard it all went wrong! :lol: :lol:

Toni - 27.05.2007, 00:18

I would have choosed "Happy New Year", because itŽs the only one with no Frida-solopart, but then you changed it in "Happy Hawaii". Frida has also no solopart on it, but that canŽt be the solution, because then you wouldnŽt have changed it out.

Is it "I Wonder" because itŽs the only ballad?


Toni :)

Toni - 27.05.2007, 00:27

In "I Wonder" there is no land or city in the lyrics?


Toni :D

Toni - 27.05.2007, 11:58

The next one:


Gold
Greatest Hits
Greatest Hits Vol. 2
The Singles The First 10 Years



Toni 8)

Toni - 27.05.2007, 12:27

........not exactly what I wanted to hear, John.


Toni :D

Toni - 28.05.2007, 11:56

"Gold" is right, Laura, but I want another reason.




Toni :rotate:

Toni - 29.05.2007, 18:02

No, Gary, it has something to do with time and a foursome.....



Toni :wink:

Toni - 31.05.2007, 19:17

Yes, Laura!

The compilations came out in ABBAŽs active time, except "Gold".

Toni :D

Nantes - 01.06.2007, 18:44

Andante Andante because it wasn't a single


John

spong - 03.06.2007, 10:26

hello

i never really played the survivor series.
i could not bring myself to vote against songs.
call this a bit petty if you like but it was not as petty as cancelling post count for the games , i think.
so I need as clue , Laura even if others don't

gary

spong - 05.06.2007, 00:07

hello

so Andante Andante won?

so?

gary :D (just about to get a right kicking from Laura).

Lammer - 06.06.2007, 00:45

:lol: :lol:

Toni, right song, right reason!
You're next!

:)

agnethanut - 06.06.2007, 19:54

accordion


because it was rarely used in ABBA tracks

Lammer - 06.06.2007, 21:20

How's it going, Toni?

Bass, because neither Benny nor Bjorn played it??
:?:

Lammer - 07.06.2007, 07:14

Hi!

1. Voulez-Vous
2. The Album
3. The Visitors
4. Ring Ring

:)

Lammer - 07.06.2007, 17:44

It's not The Visitors in this case, Gary.
:)

Lammer - 08.06.2007, 18:00

It is Ring Ring, but for a reason that wouldn't make you happy.
One more try?

:?:

Lammer - 09.06.2007, 02:23

Close enough (Stop gloating, John!). I had noticed (at ABBAsite) that the other three were top-10 in several countries, but Ring Ring in only a few.

Ooh, I came up with a good one in the car this afternoon! I'll save it for next time!

Your turn, John!

:)

Lammer - 09.06.2007, 17:32

Well, Bruce because he's West of the Atlantic Ocean?
Nathan, because he is from a non-English speaking country?
Gary, because he isn't sober.
John, because he is just the nicest darn guy here ( :D )

Look at me taking lots of guesses. What nerve.

:)

Lammer - 09.06.2007, 19:01

Thanks for narrowing it down, John.
8)

Hmmm... we've got two mods, two UK'ers, two bearded ones, two two-syllable names, four men over forty :wink:

No :idea:

:)

Lammer - 09.06.2007, 22:08

It's three??? Did you shave your beard? Did you become a Mod? Did you move out of the UK? Did you turn 50? :wink:

Lammer - 10.06.2007, 06:23

Oh, hey, Nathan has a beard! I don't think he had one in the Roo pics Gary posted...
Nathan, you look like someone I know, without the beard. Any relatives here in California? :wink:

Gary, JOHN CALLED YOU ODD!!! You'd better grow a beard, quick!

How's that?

:)

spong - 10.06.2007, 12:30

hello

beleive me , Laura:..if any of those 3 call me odd compared to them that means i am normal.
beardie-weirdie.
(actually that is prob the nicest thing John has ever called me).

gary :D

spong - 11.06.2007, 00:52

hello

it's RING RING...because if i keep this up i must be right one day.....................................................sigh :roll:

gary :D

Nantes - 11.06.2007, 10:38

Waterloo its the only one to end in a Vowel!

Lammer - 11.06.2007, 18:09

John and Jessica,

Could be, but no. There are two answers I have in mind, and both have to do with the titles of the albums...

:?: :?:

Nantes - 11.06.2007, 18:59

Could be Voulez-Vous
the only non English title to an Album

agnethanut - 12.06.2007, 17:59

waterloo because it is the only song ABBA sang in Frech

agnethanut - 12.06.2007, 18:06

whatever next please

spong - 12.06.2007, 21:59

hello

got one of them.
all the other 3 start the album
Voulez-Vous is the second song on the b-side.

and is the other one because The Visitors chorus only starts near the end of the song?..
if you call it a chorus , of course...many wouldn't

gary :D

spong - 13.06.2007, 12:33

hello

we do not need lots of easy games , Laura....
we (well , me) need some of them to be a bit harder.
i have learnt quite a lot on the Historical and Ten degrees games (plug).

anyway

RING RING
Two for the price of one
Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie (a man after midnight)
Givin’ A Little Bit More

now..i think this is hard.

gary :D

spong - 13.06.2007, 21:43

hello


it is diff to give a clue without giving the game away so it is a connection to my fave song but it is not my fave song

gary :D

spong - 16.06.2007, 01:32

hello

yup...well done Toni and off you go!

gary :D

Lammer - 16.06.2007, 07:25

Good job on that last one, Toni!

Well, I could say "Voulez-Vous," because that album does not open with the title song as do the others, BUT that's like what I just did, and I know you are more creative than that! :wink:

How about Ring Ring, because it is out of sequence with the other three?

:)

spong - 16.06.2007, 18:43

hello

so it's Voulez Vous?
is it because er...i was just about to put hyphenated but that's not right.
so what is it Toni? (worth a try)

gary :D

Lammer - 17.06.2007, 05:53

Toni wrote: but please gimme another reason!


I'm taking that as a clue. Gimme. It is the only album (VV) with a ! in a song. It could be Super Trouper, because the other albums have misspelled words and words (in parentheses). So that's my guess: the exclamation point! (If I'm right, please someone else post the next clue).

:)

spong - 17.06.2007, 12:15

hello

oh , yes...i get your subtlety
is it because the cover's blue and the other 3 are brown?

gary :D

spong - 17.06.2007, 12:52

hello

i knew it all along!
i'll post this quickly and apologise 'cos i'm off
Father's day you see..i'll try to get on later.

Greatest hits vol I
Greatest hits vol II
Gold
More Gold

gary :D

spong - 19.06.2007, 10:49

hello


a cllue:..look at the number of songs on them.
right that's given the game away...

gary :D

Toni - 20.06.2007, 19:51

Gold, because 19 is an odd number? (donŽt know if my english is right)


Toni :wink1:

Toni - 23.06.2007, 12:30

Here is the next one:

As Good As New
Hasta manana
The Way Old Friends Do
Why Did It Have To Be Me


Toni :wink1:

Nantes - 23.06.2007, 21:33

I'd go for The Way Old Friends Do as its a live version the others have been recorded in the studio.

John

Nantes - 24.06.2007, 12:18

Is it Hasta Manana as it was the only recored in Spanish

spong - 24.06.2007, 22:05



HAsta Manana 'cos it's title is not English?..blimey , that sounds bad.

Nantes - 26.06.2007, 10:35

They never sang it live?

Nantes - 26.06.2007, 18:19

They never sang it in concert. I knew they'd sung it live it was a wild stab in the dark!


John

spong - 28.06.2007, 00:37

hello

concerts in 1977?


gary

spong - 28.06.2007, 22:22

hello

ooh , ooh!..i know!
the year of3745...(i'v been watching Dr..Who)

gary :D

Nantes - 29.06.2007, 02:15

Gary leave Toni alone or I'll report you to Gill! and the naughty chair for you my lad!!!!


Toni it has to be they didn't sing it in 1979 on their world tour.

Nantes - 30.06.2007, 00:16

Ok next one is

Agnetha
Benny
Bjorn or
Anni-Frid

Nantes - 01.07.2007, 11:23

Yes Laura it could be a number of things but I want the right answer.
So its not Benny, but good guess. Three to go!

JOhn

spong - 02.07.2007, 00:44

hello

it is also noticable that there are quite a lot of double posts.
i do not think this has anything to do with the poster making a mistake,
more the system having a "foible" in it.
look:..i am not complainging.

gary :D

Nantes - 02.07.2007, 12:29

Gave me a good answer Gary and I'll tell you if its Agnetha.

Lammer - 03.07.2007, 06:29

John, are you looking for a serious, well-thought out answer, or something silly? (I have lots of those.)

Anni-Frid, because she is not a native Swede? because she has a hyphen in her name? because she has a second name she uses ("Frida")? because her hairstyle/color changed the most while the others' changed less dramatically? because she can sing opera?


:?:

Lammer - 04.07.2007, 07:57

Agnetha, because she was born in the 1950's rather than the 1940's as were the other three?

:)

Lammer - 05.07.2007, 21:45

:blob1:

Okay, here we go:

1. If it Wasn't For the Nights
2. Summer Night City
3. Lovelight
4. The King Has Lost His Crown

:?:

Lammer - 06.07.2007, 02:51

I hope you are in the mood to be wrong, because that's what you are. :wink:

Your mood is subjective; the answer to this is objective. No more clues yet...

:)

Lammer - 06.07.2007, 18:22

:band: :boogie: :thumbup: :band:

Your turn, John! The other three are all in the 3+ minutes range.

:)

Lammer - 14.07.2007, 07:06

Hi John!

Eagle, because

1. Super Trouper-- Glasgow
2. Waterloo-- a place, even though it is not the setting of the song
3. Our Last Summer -- Paris

Eagle doesn't have a setting or a reference to a specific place.

Worth a try, anyway :wink:

Nantes - 14.07.2007, 10:35

Hey Laura all trys are worth it because you are right.
Back to you Laura.

Nantes - 14.07.2007, 22:09

Yes Laura it was the right answer but as we've both had a go, good idea to let someone else have a go.

Over to you Toni!

John

Toni - 15.07.2007, 09:30

:sleep: ............ :yawn: ...... :o

Oh, hello! I was sleeping, it was night in Germany :wink:

Here is the next one:

Another Town Another Train
Ring Ring
Sitting In The Palmtree
Waterloo


Toni :D

Toni - 15.07.2007, 09:55

Hello Laura,

itŽs an interesting answer, but I had something else in mind. Try it again!
:D


Toni :wink:

Charlie - 16.07.2007, 01:04

Toni wrote:

I think the answer is almost in the question in that all but Sitting In The Palmtree were also recorded in German. Also I've certainly seen singles of the other three.

Cheers
Charlie

Charlie - 16.07.2007, 23:17
Odd one out
Ok here goes (hint remember I am based in the UK).

Honey Honey
Ring Ring
S O S
Waterloo

(Kindly note that I'm out tomorrow evening UK time).

Cheers
Charlie

Charlie - 17.07.2007, 01:01
Sorry - that leaves one chance in three
I'm going for a meal with a girl friend. We meet up occasionally, actualy quite often.

Charlie

Charlie - 17.07.2007, 10:06
S O S ?
One idea I had was singles that were also released as solo tracks (e.g. SOS and Fernando). But sadly that wasn't the reason here.

Thanks for your wishes for the meal.

Goodnight everybody, sweet dreams

Charlie

Lammer - 17.07.2007, 18:34

Oh, stop it with the serious answers!
It's Waterloo, because Ring is repeated, Honey is repeated, and S is repeated. Yes, Waterloo has two o's, but that's the way the word is spelled; can't help that.

But if Charlie does give his Honey Honey a Ring Ring, oh-- nevermind... it has to do with Andante, Andante though. :shock: :wink:

:)

Charlie - 17.07.2007, 20:16
Well done !
Yes you're absolutely correct that Honey Honey actually charted in the UK by Sweet Dreams.

However there was also something in common why I picked the other ones. That is they were also used as titles for other hits (OK I admit #61 isn't a great hit) by Stonewall Jackson, ABC and Dollar.

So over to you Toni....

ps - sadly Honey Honey isn't feeling too well so the meal got postponed - which is a shame since the weather's lovely here at the moment.

Nantes - 18.07.2007, 18:39

Me And I, as it wasn't a b-side

Nantes - 19.07.2007, 10:52

Hey Toni Goodbye that sounds as if your feeling us for good, don't do that we need you.

The Winner Takes It All
Voulez-Vous
Dancing Queen
When I Kissed The Teacher

John

Nantes - 20.07.2007, 00:01

That is true Daniel but not the one I was looking for.

John

Lammer - 20.07.2007, 01:23

:idea:

The Winner Takes It All, because it is a solo, not a shared vocal.

:?: :?:

MarryMeAgnetha - 21.07.2007, 01:55

OK, good hint John.

When I Kissed the Teacher is the odd one out because it's the first song on Arrival. All the other songs are second on their respective albums.

I'm pretty sure about that, but I'll wait until you confirm. Besides, I need the time to think up one of my own.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 21.07.2007, 19:58

ABBA - The Complete Recording Sessions
Bright Lights Dark Shadows
ABBA The Book
ABBA - The Complete Guide To Their Music

Which is the odd one out? (Don't fall for the red herring!)

--Daniel

Toni - 22.07.2007, 00:18

Hello Daniel!

Is it ABBA the book, because itŽs not written by Carl Magnus Palm?

Toni :)

Toni - 22.07.2007, 07:58

Here is the next one:

Does Your Mother Know
GivinŽ A Little Bit More
Suzy-Hang-Around
Two For The Price Of One


Toni :D

Toni - 22.07.2007, 12:36

You are right, John, but I had something else in my mind. ItŽs not "Does Your Mother Know".

Try it again! :D

Toni :wink:

Toni - 22.07.2007, 17:17

ItŽs the right song, but not the right reason. Hint: lyrics


Toni :wink:

Toni - 23.07.2007, 18:33

Nope, Daniel. It has something to do with a lady.


Toni :wink:

MarryMeAgnetha - 23.07.2007, 23:15

Whoa, I think Laura nailed it!

--Daniel

Lammer - 24.07.2007, 20:45

I only figured it out because of the clues you provided and everyone else's guesses. Good one, Toni.

Not sure if this is obvious or not:

I Am Just a Girl
I Am the City
I Have a Dream
I Saw it in the Mirror

:)

Lammer - 24.07.2007, 20:52

That may be so, but I am looking for another answer...
:?:

MarryMeAgnetha - 24.07.2007, 21:13

Laura,

Just a guess: I Am The City is the only song on your list not released on one of the original ABBA albums.

--Daniel

Nantes - 26.07.2007, 17:23

OK Laura time for a hint!

MarryMeAgnetha - 27.07.2007, 03:45

The lyrics of each of these songs begins with its title -- except for I Am The City.

At first I was going to guess it's the only one among them that's not performed at a slow tempo (which is true), but I think the lyric thing is what you were going for.

--Daniel

Lammer - 27.07.2007, 04:25

You are correct, sir!

And I'll go with the obvious choice: The Way Old Friends Do, because it doesn't have the repetition in the title.

:)

Lammer - 27.07.2007, 08:16

Money, Gimme, and On all refer to wealth and celebrity, whereas The Way Old Friends Do does not.

:?: :?:

I don't think the "custom," as you said, is a must-do; you don't have to give hints. I for one like them because I am a bit impatient! :?

MarryMeAgnetha - 27.07.2007, 10:07

John,

As far as I know, you're right. My idea was that both studio versions and live versions of the other three I listed were released, but there is no original studio recording of The Way Old Friends Do, only a live version. (The version that appears on Super Trouper has obviously been doctored up in the studio, but its basic track is the live performance. Compare it to the more "honest" version heard on the DVD ABBA In Concert.)

Well done! You're up.

--Daniel

PS to Laura: Very astute and observant. I almost said you were right because your answer was so much more sophisticated than what I had in mind, but that just wouldn't have been honest. :wink:

In this game I try to come up with examples that are not too obvious but still have a definitive answer. I see now that I didn't succeed quite as thoroughly as I intended, because your answer holds up quite nicely.

Nantes - 27.07.2007, 19:18

Well I am surprised, I honestly thought you had it Laura.

Right

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Money Money Money
One Of Us
Does Your Mother Know


John

Nantes - 27.07.2007, 19:23

Hi! Toni,

Good guess but wrong I'm afraid

Toni - 27.07.2007, 22:36

Good reasons for DYMK, Daniel, but I think itŽs "Gimme Gimme Gimme" because it wasnŽt on an original studio album.


Toni :)

Nantes - 28.07.2007, 00:12

Try watching the four Videos.

Lammer - 28.07.2007, 03:53

... I think One of Us is the only one in which Agnetha has a perm (whether it be caught on videotape or film :wink: ).
:agnetha:

Lammer - 28.07.2007, 07:28

That's Ms. Dude. And yeah, well, I was going to say the video vs. film thing, too. :wink:
John, isn't it morning there by you yet? I'm up by 6:30 most mornings; get up already!

:)

MarryMeAgnetha - 28.07.2007, 13:47

Ah, Toni -- observant!

--Daniel

Toni - 28.07.2007, 17:33

"Money Money Money" because itŽs the only video wíth a scene out of doors?


Toni :wink:

Nantes - 28.07.2007, 18:25

Toni is on the right track but its Not Money Money Money

Nantes - 28.07.2007, 22:24

No its Not

Nantes - 29.07.2007, 00:07

Sorry Toni wrong again.

its Not Does Your Mother Know or One Of Us or Money Money Money.

But why is it the last one.

Toni have another crack. As Europe goes to sleep, I place my trust in the Americans to come up with the answer. Laura, Bruce, Daniel no pressure. see you in the morning. Watch the videos its before your eyes.
