@Cubby67 Bjorn has said that the lyrics were inspired by the Stephen King novel 'The stand'. For a while during the 70's and 80's, Bjorn would only ever read in English, as this gave him a better knowledge of the language and gave him inspiration.

I also think ABBA went a little further then just world dictators. It might be that the piper is the anti-Christ who WILL lure plenty with promises of happiness and then put them into bondage. - He gave them a dream
He seduced everybody in the land
The fire in his eyes
And the fear was a weapon in his hand
So they let him play
Play their minds away

Gray's account is heavily outdated. New medieval accounts have been studied since 1889

so please read "the childrens crusade" by george zabrisky gray or my book "im namen des herrn" - if you prefer german literature
More than just a ballad about the Children's Crusade or the Pied Piper, it's a timeless warning against all false leaders and demagogues.

i'm sure the author of the PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN is deligthed of this ABBA tune, i once saw a movie in the early 70's about the pied piper story and the theme song was sung by Donovan, however the song was, sad to say, mediocre, and it did not made it to the top, this ABBA tune really fits the story.
