This sounds exactly like ABBA - i remember hearing it a couple times when i was a kid but when i tried to buy it none of our record stores had it. This song is awesome!!!

Love this song, we had the 7" single at home. Reckon they were trying to make a comeback because of Bucks Fizz being big but failed. Hope they release this album on CD too!

This is my new favourite BOM song despite it being t being a blatant ABBA rip off! Love the cheesy 80's synths. x

@Cyberschizoid Except that ABBA were 1,000,000 times less cheesy.

Sorry for the people who actually like the song, but this sounds like an Abba demo!. It has potential, but, as it is, definitivelly not for a single release.

yes, definitely very "Super Trouper"-y, but still awesome !!! Wish they would put this on a greatest hits cd at least, but it's always just the B-side "Heartbreaker" (which is great too though) ... wonder why that is

[blade0954]

comparisons to ABBA are a bit unfair,they were artists in their own right,

This Brotherhood of Man trying to out Abba, Abba. Sounds like the unreleased abba song 'I owe you one' .

omg is this a joke? hello this is rip of of abbas formula but done so tacky

[JoanCollins2009]

omg this is man its like there just ripping off abba but in a very tacky way lol

First they copied ABBA with Angelo, a blatant re-giggling around of ABBA's Fernando, now this flop, a blatant copy of Super Trouper. Thankfully by the time this dross was released, people realised what this mob whhere all about - COPYING.
