    En france, in France, it was released as a B side to Take a chance on me, c’était la face B de take a chance on me.

    I wanna be a fan of ABBA club but how?

    I’d totally forgotten this song. It did in fact get played on the radio here in Hawaii, and listening to it just now, the song gradually came back to me. It’s understandable that I’d forgotten it after more than 30 years…

    I’ve been there twice from Switzerland. Always did a night stop in California otherwise it’s about 12 + 5 flight hours at best without transit and immigration. Enjoyed a lot Waikiki life and Oahu.

    This is a great WINTER song!

    I love this song much more than “Why did it have to be me”. Why did it have to be me is based on it.
