The producer played by Rik Mayall on the last video?

MarryMeAgnetha - 05.12.2006, 10:35

Good one, Jacko! And Gary, don't feel bad. It was obscure, but I knew some other sweaty, obsessive ABBA fan would recognize it sooner or later.

OK, I'll make up for the obscurity of that quotation by proceeding with an easy one. Identify the source of this quote:

"I'd hate the sound of thirty thousand people booing."

Nope, Waterman never collaborated with ABBA to the best of my knowledge.

The source of this quote is someone quite closely associated with ABBA's success, fame, and IMAGE.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 10.12.2006, 11:54

Not the great Mr. Tretow.

Remember, this is someone who didn't collaborate with ABBA musically. He (yes, "he", more of a hint) collaborated with them on some other aspect of their presentation.

This one must be harder than I thought it would be.

i've checked it and some dopey twit forgot to empty it.

thjis is a quote about the album what has my fave song on it:

"The things we produced for ourselves-were not our primary comcern.
it was the sessions we produced for other acts that simply had to be done"

"Most of the time, I don't write the Swedish lyrics myself, because I have the feeling that they are not right. But when I write a song, I always write original lyrics in English. The Swedish version is often its translation." -- ____________


--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 04.01.2007, 04:20

Gary,

I expected that one to be guessed correctly, but not so soon! I thought the songwriting angle would be a red herring that would have someone guessing one of the boys before guessing Agnetha. Although I probably should have known better given that one of the players loves :love4: Agnetha :love4: almost as much as I do. :wink:

OK, OK, back to the game: I'll guess your quote is from Björn.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 04.01.2007, 13:29

Gary,

Hmm. Maybe it's Stig Anderson then.

I have to admit, I don't know what "..i should flamin' coco" means.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 04.01.2007, 14:37

OK, this one is a real ABBA insider's question, but it's not impossible.

" 'Super Trouper' sounds like a simple pop song, but it paints a good picture of a pop star who has the confidence to say 'I'm at the top of the tree and I'm not happy.' Björn's life is in those lyrics." -- ___________

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 05.01.2007, 04:32

Gary,

Well, you ARE a real ABBA insider.

I'm going to give someone else a day or two to come up with the answer to your quote. I already know it because I used it in the Hangman game. 8)

--Daniel

Fire&Ice - 09.01.2007, 14:59

I think it was Bjorn. In case it is wrong, just ignore the next one.

kitty-cat - 14.01.2007, 23:23

Harry Doherty of Melody Maker (sorry Gary, I got there before you :roll: )


They were the only group that set my spine tingling. They made great pop tunes that have stood the test of time.

gill xx

MarryMeAgnetha - 15.01.2007, 02:45

Yes, Gill got mine right. I know she's quite an ABBA scholar. I also suspect she has ABBA The Book. Thats's been my source for a number of quotes as you may have guessed.

Gary -- it was Björn. ABBA The Book page 168. (I'm sure there are other sources for ABBA quotes. This is just a really handy one.)

OK, here's another one that would be obscure to most, but is probably easy for all of you, my fellow sweaty and obsessed ABBA fans. It's not from ABBA The Book.

"Look at the muck in here."

--Daniel

Lammer - 15.01.2007, 03:02

HI!

This is a line Agnetha spoke when the four of them were on a tv show (Wogan? I've forgotten the name, but I've seen it on YouTube). I guess the host had some catch-phrases, and each of the four ABBA spoke one of them.

Do I need to be more specific? It's okay if you say this isn't enough to "win" the chance to make the next clue. :cry: I'll be fine. *sniff*
It's just that, well, I got the last one wrong, too, and, well...

Lammer - 15.01.2007, 03:56

I hadn't understood the Larry Grayson reference. We'll just let Daniel choose. Afterall, you live all the way out there in England, and I live in the same state as him. But we'll just let him choose. (pick me, pick me!)

Lammer - 15.01.2007, 08:39

LOL Aw, shucks, guys :oops: (undoubtedly very lovely yourselves :wink: )

Yahoo! (Gary, do you really think Daniel would pick Larry over Agnetha?) Okay, here goes:
Who described Man in the Middle as a "failed Stevie Wonder try-to-be" :?:

Hi Daniel! No, it wasn't Benny..

I lucked into an easy one then. Gary, that quote is from Frida.

I'll wait until you confirm before I post a new quote.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 30.01.2007, 02:07

Gary,

I sort of misspoke. Quotes really aren't easy or hard. For the most part you either recognize a quote or you don't. So I don't know if this next quote is easy or hard, but in any case:

"They were easy and always very nice to work with , they were professionals. Before a photo session there was always a discussion between me and the group."

-- ______________________


--Daniel

PS: Here's a bonus quote -- "Daniel is one of the greatest musicians I've ever heard. After I marry him, I'm going to convince Benny and Björn to write some new songs with him. Then I'll convince Frida to join us and reform ABBA for a new album and tour!"

Lammer - 30.01.2007, 18:37

Would it be cruel to quote from the song Disillusion at this time?

Actually, Ivana, don't you think it's the other way around: the first quotation was Agnetha and the second one was Bubi Heilemann? :wink:

My guess is Anders Hanser. Only kidding about the Disillusion thing. And the switched quotation thing. Really. Please invite me to the wedding, and I'd like a back-stage pass to the tour. Yeah, you probably won't even tell me when you come to my town. :roll: :wink:

And I still admire the cleverness you've shown in guessing the bonus quote. Amazing.

Hmm. I don't know your quote. It's a rather odd one, isn't it? But I'll guess Agnetha.

MarryMeAgnetha - 31.01.2007, 11:08

Wow, Ivana, do we have the whole game to ourselves now? OK, next I'll guess Björn.

Stig?

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 01.02.2007, 01:47

Yikes, I wasn't prepared to be right! Hey, that's a statement that could be interpreted as reflective of my life in general. After all, when one lives one's life, the general tendency is to live it according to the story in which one believes, meaning of course the assumptions which one takes to heart, the truths by which one lives on such a basic level so as to be for the most part unaware that they're opinions being held, but rather simple manifestations of reality, no more subject to question than the actions of the atmosphere and gravity surrounding one...

Um, OK, I'll be back in a minute with a new ABBA-related quote.

I'm a bit of a Star Trek fan. I don't think I qualify as a full-fledged Trekkie, but I enjoyed the various TV series and movies quite a bit. The Star Trek reference has to do with Gary's nickname. I don't know if he's ever explained that before on this board. He explained it once on the old ABBAsite chat board. (Gary -- sorry if I'm exposing you!)

Anyway: No! My new quote will not be from Agnetha. It's...something different. Yeah, different. That's the ticket. It's...damn, let me come up with one.

Not from Agnetha.

So, you're up Gary! :)

This is a good, challenging quote. Meaning I don't recognize it. I think there's a good chance one of the ABBA members themselves said it, but the real trick would be to identify what the individual in question was talking about.

As long as I'm here, I'll just guess it was Frida.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 17.02.2007, 04:00

OK, Agnetha said it. But what was she talking about? Judging from some of ABBA's TV appearances, I'll guess she was talking about the majority of the girls' choreography. :shutup:

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 17.02.2007, 04:29

Heh heh

--Daniel

Fire&Ice - 17.02.2007, 10:42

It was in Dick Cavett's show, when they sang the Swedish version of "Don't Fence Me In". Dick had just handed the sheets out and there, they were made to sing it just like that, without any rehearsals. You could see how the girls were quick to pick up the tones, unlike B&B! :lol:

And Agnetha actually said: "We have NOT rehearsed it!" :wink:

(BTW, this is my favourite Agnetha interview ever!)

Okay, here's a new one:

"ABBA: The Movie; I got a lot of grief for working on that."

:)

Lammer - 24.02.2007, 10:47

I bet it took me longer to find that quotation than it took you to answer it.

... and the baton passes to you...

spong - 24.02.2007, 18:11

hello

was it Frida about Fernando?

gary :D

Lammer - 25.02.2007, 00:08

Was it Agnetha about Disillusion?

Lammer - 25.02.2007, 00:46

Why don't I just give you the answer now and save us all the trouble? :roll:

Okay, here we go:

"...all the flourishes, like big double octaves on the piano. We stole them like crazy."

Is this difficult? :?

Lammer - 25.02.2007, 00:57

Nope. Someone who played a different instrument (although I know you mean PC as producer, not drummer).

Lammer - 25.02.2007, 01:08

No, what did the guy from Supertramp say? Oh, wait- don't tell-- use it next time! I'll pretend I don't know. :wink:

This is an American who said it.

Lammer - 25.02.2007, 01:14

He is only one of two famous American singers with this name.

Your turn (sniffle)

Was it (oh, you know I'm going to say this, don't you?)
The Guy from Supertramp?

:roll:

What does that mean at the bottom of your post?

Lammer - 25.02.2007, 02:33

Groveling. Nice touch.
:)

MarryMeAgnetha - 25.02.2007, 02:51

Laura,

:roll:

--Daniel

PS: Gary, it was Elvis Costello. I know it was hard to discern amongst all the drama.

Lammer - 25.02.2007, 03:15

Daniel, what are you implying? That I'm dramatic? Is that any way to talk to your best friend? (Let's go shopping!) :wink:

Okay, I think it is Bjorn, but maybe that is too obvious. I'll guess Bjorn anyway, but only if it isn't really him. If it is really him, I'll guess Frida. You see, I don't want to come up with another quotation, seeing as how well my last one went over. Hey, Gary, it went over like a "Led Zeppelin." :wink:

So that's my guess, Bjorn, unless it is Bjorn, then my guess is Frida. Got that? I'm serious. Don't let that smile fool you. I'm not smiling.

:)

Lammer - 26.02.2007, 00:43

Big trouble, mister. Nah, yesterday was a lot of fun.

How about Stig Ander-one-s-o-n?

:)

MarryMeAgnetha - 26.02.2007, 01:44

Laura and Gary were both right. It was Stig. Laura got her answer in first, so I guess she gets the next quote. (Gary is such a gentleman, I'm sure he won't mind.)

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 26.02.2007, 09:03

All right Funny Girl, no Supertramp! (How did we get on Supertramp anyway? It must be Laura's fault.)

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 26.02.2007, 10:01

Gosh all golly, I know I've heard this one. Was it Björn?

--Daniel

PS: To tell the truth, I thought the Supertramp thing was funny.

MarryMeAgnetha - 26.02.2007, 10:24

I'm trying to think where I read that, because I know I've come across it before. Possibly on this site. Did Johnny say it? Or some other fan?

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 26.02.2007, 10:44

All right, then: Benny.

(You're still up!)

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 26.02.2007, 11:03

It's so late! I have to go to bed!

I'll throw it open: anyone who wants may post a new quote.

If no one does by tomorrow, I'll try to come up with one then.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 27.02.2007, 09:01

All right, an easy one then.

"I'm just impossible on stage. I'm insecure and scared, and then I freeze up."

-- _______________

--Daniel

spong - 27.02.2007, 12:42

hello

right: as Laura put that i'll go for the other one

Agnetha

gary :D

Lammer - 01.03.2007, 05:08

:?

This person referred to a certain song on a certain album as the one s/he enjoyed recording the most (on that album), because it "felt very 'true' to do."

Who said this, and do you know which song?

:)

Lammer - 01.03.2007, 09:40

Oh, Daniel, I'm sorry, no. However, you have gotten one out of three correct: wrong person, wrong song, correct album. See Pat on your way out for some parting gifts for you. (I have left the name ambiguous; it just depends on how much consolation you need).

:)

Lammer - 01.03.2007, 18:49

Sloooooowly they come closer to the correct answer.
Agnetha-yes
The Visitors-yes
The song- :?:

BUT as this is called "Who Said That" and not "Name the Song," Gary gets the ribbon! Daniel, go see Pat.

Gary: BATTER UP!!

ps. Slipping Through My Fingers (from my one and only ABBA book, Palm's The Complete Guide to their Music)

:)

Lammer - 02.03.2007, 19:10

Hi!

Bjorn, same great book, page 65! :wink:

Next: "... tried to sound a little sexy when... recorded the vocals -- I'm not sure that ... succeeded."

I'm trying to make it more challenging by leaving out the names and pronouns.

:)

MarryMeAgnetha - 03.03.2007, 02:04

I think that was Frida referring to Honey Honey.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 03.03.2007, 11:06

Thank you, Laura.

"[Agnetha's jumpsuit] was the costume that gave her the tag 'the sexiest bottom in pop', while Frida's skirt, which was actually much more risqué, went virtually unnoticed."

Well, it wasn't unnoticed by me, but in any case: who said that?

--Daniel

Lammer - 03.03.2007, 19:41

you have got the name right. Andy Bell.

so is it you , John? or are you a gentleman? (actuall i know the answer to that already)

so oof you go Ivana!

MarryMeAgnetha - 11.03.2007, 10:10

Ivana,

Hmm. Let's see... It's probably not a former member of ABBA. This sounds like something that would be said by someone from outside the group.

Well, I don't know who it is. Have I ever mentioned that you're extremely beautiful?

PS: OK, I'll guess Pete Waterman (my default guess whenever I don't know the answer.)

Next quotation, because Mr. Hill in high school English class never let us get away with using the word quote unless it was used as a verb.


“I had to send my emissary to Stockholm with a letter and the record begging them and imploring them and telling them how much I worship their music... "

Who said that?

I can always include more of the quotation if need be. I'll wait and see if Gary or Ivana guesses.

Yes it was Madonna! (I haven't cheated and read Gill's post :angel: )

But Gill got here first so after the offcial confirmation :wink: Gill's next!

See, I know! :blob1:

Lammer - 22.03.2007, 21:47

Hi Gill!

Good job! (And Ivana, too; are you both Madonna fans?)

You are 100% correct! (Sorry I left you out before; I had gone back to see who had been playing most recently.)

This is the full quotation:

“I had to send my emissary to Stockholm with a letter and the record begging them and imploring them and telling them how much I worship their music, telling them it was an homage to them, which is all true.
And they had to think about it, Benny and Bjorn. They didn’t say yes straight away. They never let anyone sample their music. They could have said no. Thank God they didn’t.”

Good job, Gill and Ivana! Daniel, thanks for playing; I'm not a Madonna fan, either, but I like some of her songs, and I like her gutsiness, and she's standing the test of time. One of our local radio stations plays soooooo muuuuuuch Madonna, but have they ever played Hung Up? NOOOOOOOO. :roll:

starting me off on sport is not a good idea.

trouble is i do not think it would be appropriate because i would drone on on the site for ages and we are not here to disscuss sport.

i have been onto sport forums and they are boring.
