Benny & ABBA interview ABBADABBADOO Benny Andersson and ABBA where interviewer, by a swedish interviwer. Translation of the show: Interviewer: Music and oxygen meant just about the same for Benny when he was little. Both were so obvious that you didn't need to think about them. Benny didn't think of becoming a musician. Actually he didn't think of becoming anything at all. his parents wanted him to become a construction manager. Both his father and grandfather were in the business. But father and grandfather were both also musicians. There was bound to be a conflict between the pressure to get a profession and the urge to play. Benny: I'm not a fatalist really, but it all comes from them, I think. Grandfather was a musician in his leisure time. He was a carpenter but in his free time he was a musician. He enjoyed that the most. Interviewer: Did you like your grandfather's music? Benny: Oh yes, very much so - the accordion. Father also played the accordion. So it was obvious they'd give me a drum set! Interviewer: And eventually an accordion? Benny: No, I got an accordion later when I turned six. Then we played together. Interviewer: Was it natural to play with your father and grandfather? Benny: Yes it was. I believe that was the most enjoyable thing for me all through summer holidays. And I think a lot of it is still inside me, all the roots. I think I'm most happy when I play Swedish folk music, violins, a group of folk musicians - that is what feels the best. Interviewer: But you like ABBA's music? Benny: Oh yes, we have tremendous fun when we work together and I couldn't think of anything else to do. ("Isn't It Easy To Say" in the background) Interviewer: "Isn't It Easy To Say" That was your first job together. Benny: That happened at a paper factory in Västervik - wonderful. Björn's father ... I came home in the middle o the night. Björn did too. We started to drag in amplifiers and things. "No, you can't stay in the basement here because you'll wake up the house." he took us to the paper factory in Västervik where he worked. We could sit in his office up on the third floor. we dragged in amplifiers and guitars and everything. It was so sweet of him to let us do that really. Interviewer: Yes it was .. and you should be grateful for ... Narrator: Booze, sex, drugs, fights and broken damaged hotel rooms is what it said about super groups across the world if you believe what you see in the papers. But not even the meanest of people have succeeded in finding ABBA in a juicy scandal. Those tight silk trousers, silver boots and that other glitter should maybe a sign of a certain kind of life - but that isn't the case. The glitter is what ABBA wears to work. Behind the scenes are four normal young Swedish people with normal Swedish relations. Two of them are married to each other and two of them are married "the Stockholm way" that is, they live together. Nothing exciting that is. (ABBA and the Interviewer all together) Björn: It is so easy to say that we are really ordinary people. Frida: You are not supposed to say that any more. I've read in an article people are unique, there are no ordinary people and you hsouldn't be afraid to say that you are unique - I am unique! Benny: That's what you think! Agnetha: But it is very difficult to talk about yourself ... Frida: ABBA - they? Interviewer: There are .. of all public personalities there are made up pictures in press and TV - that is Benny, that is Frida, that is Agnetha and that is Björn. But as far as I know you don't quite agree with those descriptions? Benny: The most difficult part - not the people, not the public, but the interviewers, journalists, they have difficulties in understanding that we do something that we love ourselves, we talked about it earlier. We have been fortunate to be able to do what we love the best. We think the music is good. We can't do better than this at the moment. Interviewer: You don't make a product just to sell it? Benny: No Agnetha: No, that word always comes up somehow Björn: It is important. What we always always experience is the doubt of, "ha ha! to make a song is so easy and you just get all the money."

ABBA Björn Ulvaeus ABBADABBADOO ABBA Björn getting intereviewd! Translation of the show: Narrator: Björn Ulvaeus' sway to success is as straight as a German motorway. It all starts at home in Västervik. His musical upbringing was given to him by his father who played the mandolin. Björn: And what you heard on the radio of course "Vildanden" for instances, oh, that was fantastic. Interviewer: That captured you? Björn: Yes, the tragic - I don't even think I understood the lyrics correctly, but the lyrics were deeply tragic and they captured me anyway. I had a cousin who was one year older than me and who was really musically talented and who played the trumpet, guitar, banjo and piano. We would always have fun when he played for us at Christmas for example you see and that made a great impression on me. Interviewer: To play or fascinate the public? Björn: Yes both I think Narrator: 1962. Björn is 17 years old now. Bjorn and some of his friends went from house to house and played as The West Bay singers. Vastervikssangaran. When they realised that not only themselves but others too like the music they played, they continued playing together. They got on swell that they even were presented in a magazine and next year they won radio talent contest, On Stage ("Plats på scen"), with the name The Hootenanny Singers. Björn: It was the beginning of a spin on a carousel because there hadn't been anyone of that sort and there was a need of such at many amusement parks. We began to travel around with an old bass on the roof of an old car. Interviewer: And you thought it was fun? Björn: It was fantastic! It was huge you see! Really great! Interviewer: Your parents, your sister, your wife and your friends - how would they describe you? What have they told you about yourself? how do they characterise you? Do you understand what I mean? Björn: What the hell have they said?! Not stubborn, not mean, not sweet, hah! Interviewer: Are you an optimist? Björn: Um, not exactly an optimist, not pessimistic either. A bit selfish maybe. Interviewer: A straight-forward person Björn: Yes, that's probable. Tags: ABBA Anni-frid annifrid agnetha anna frida björn benny swedish tv abbadabbadoo |

ABBA Anni-Frid Lyngstad ABBADABBADOO Anni-Frid Lyngstad is interviewd on the program called ABBADABBADOO from 1976 Translation: En ledig dag is played on the baggrund. Frida is laughing Interviewer: Is this fun? Frida: Yes, it's fun and I am glad to know that I have improved at least a little bit over the years! Interviewer: This song you sang at Skansen in the final - was it fun to be discovered? The march to the top? Frida: The march towards the top has always been tough but of course it was fun because I had already worked in a number of dance orchestras since I was 13 - over a period of 10 years. Working in a dance orchestra for such a long time is not quite fun. Interviewer: It seems like you lived two lives - when I watch you on stage and now when we sit and talk ... Frida: It is different to stand on a stage doing what I know I can do which is how I feel today. And besides I think it is tremendous fun. There is nothing more fun than this. You can be free and be what you really want to be. "I am here now, you be you'll see something!" (laughs) Do you understand? you put your hole soul into it. It is so much fun to give everything then, and only because you like it so much. Interviewer: It is 100% then? Frida: It is 100%, there is no way back. Interviewer: And you think it's wonderful to give 100%? Frida: Yes, absolutely. Interviewer: How do you feel now when you sit here and talk? How are you? Frida: Well, it would be better if the TV cameras waren't on. When you talk about yourself as a private person it's difficult because you don't want to reveal yourself totally, you want to keep something back for the closest people to you, something that really isn't anyone else's business. And the most difficult part of being a public figure is maybe to know where to draw the line. Tags: ABBA Anni-frid annifrid agnetha anna frida björn benny swedish tv abbadabbadoo |
