Benny and Bjorn, Burgermeisters
Manolo sings, I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
’cause everyone listens when I start to sing

Heh, SAS features an all-ABBA channel. Who needs the inflight movie when you can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life, wooooo…

You know, there is a book in Swedish entitled “Which one is Björn, which one is Benny?” with a quasi/mock-intellectual essay about that subject inside.
Benny is such a nice guy, though. I pass by his lovely waterside house here in Stockholm City some mornings and chat with his dog who likes to run around in the yard. :)

I love ABBA! Their music predates me by 10 years, but it’s good stuff! Thanks for posting :-)

I am becoming concerned about Manolo’s snarkiness about those who age. Alas, If we are lucky, it comes to all of us.
And overall, The B’s are doing it rather gracefully.

This is called “Laughing All The Way To The Bank”

Manolo loves the ABBA. And he loves the fact that the Benny and the Bjorn they look like the portly, prosperous, pleasant Swedish burgermeisters. Yes, it was the little bit of the snarkiness, but it was not intended to be malicious, mostly just the little bit fun.

‘Mamma Mia’ was a great musical. I took my daughter to see it-what a perfect first musical for a young girl. The people sitting around us were astounded to see her singing and dancing to all of the songs…she was 8 at the time. I have to say, one of my most favorite memories with my girl!

One could also say they look like burgomeisters, contentedly surveying the Swedish landscape.
