@altsain If you watch the voting, it was all politics. The UK thought they had a winner in Olivia Newton John, so they voted for other countries with little chance of winning, and made sure not vote for Sweden. Most of Sweden's votes came from countries that knew their country wasn't going to win. The system was changed the next year.

Someone correct me if I am wrong. . .
I believe that the UK awarded Abba 0 points for this song during the contest.
A song about a battle the British won. Against the French.
Abba must have been wondering what they had to do. . .
