because to not rank it up is to to be a voulez-vous denier, reason enough to be shamed in this politically correct age i would think! why this isnt the top 10 of abba's best is beyond me, is it just a personal reminiscence thing only, for just me? c'mon, cant be.

In my opinion their best song. From the begin until the end a very happy song. You can listen again, again and again and it will become never boring. A true masterpiece, but in the most times very underrated and forgotten.

mmm, such a low ranking for an absolutely amazing sophisticated song? This song definitely should be in the top ten along with ‘I am the city’. These songs were recorded at the end of ABBA’s career and display a degree of depth that had only previously been captured within ‘The winner takes it all’ and ‘The name of the game’, both of which are phenomenally well crafted songs. Had ABBA continued onward, I believe they would have produced even deeper more meaningful sophisticated songs.
