  • This is a song that ABBA sang during their 1977 live tour.
    There doesn't seem to be a video of them actually singing it, only vocal recordings.
    Never released as a single it's called either 'I am an A' or 'A simple four letter word'.
    ABBA is a 4 letter word of course, so that's what I've called it.
    Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 50 years or so the initials are (in no particular order)
    A = Agnetha Fältskog
    B = Björn Ulvaeus
    B = Benny Andersson
    A = Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
    The group's name ABBA is an acronym of the first letters of their first names - very clever.
    I've added all the lyrics within the video and included some fine photo examples of their ever-changing fashion wardrobe - magnificent.
    The lyrics are also below if you fancy singing along with it.

    ABBA is a 4 letter word: LYRICS:
    [Frida:] I am Frida. hello. I'm the star of the show.
    [Agnetha:] That's what she thinks, anyway.
    [Frida:] And I like to perform. Benny says I am warm.
    [Benny:] Well hot is the least you can say.
    [Frida:] Independant and free, and ambitious, that's me. Fighting for fame and success
    [Frida:] And I'm tough too, you see.
    [Benny:] No she's not. Just ask me.
    [Frida:] Singing and dancing is what I like best.
    [Agnetha and Frida:] I am an A.
    [Benny and Bjorn:] I'm a B.
    [Agnetha and Frida:] He is okay.
    [Benny and Bjorn:] So is she.
    [ABBA -All 4 members:] Singing together in harmony.
    [Agnetha and Frida:] He is a B.
    [Benny and Bjorn:] She's a bird.
    [Agnetha and Frida:] Fiddle-dee-dee.
    [Benny and Bjorn:] Yes, you heard.
    [ABBA -All 4 members:] We are a simple, four-letter word: A-B-B-A.
    [Bjorn:] I am Bjorn. I'm the guy, who is careful and shy. Don't like to spend every dime.
    [Bjorn:] But I love my guitar, and I drive in my car.
    [Agnetha:] Scares me to death every time.
    [Bjorn:] And I don't like to shave.
    [Agnetha:] You should live in a cave.
    [Bjorn:] No, I feel more at home on the stage.
    [Bjorn:] When I sing and I play with my group, it's okay.
    [Benny, Agnetha and Frida:] Your group? You're kidding, or is it your age?
    [Agnetha and Frida:] I am an A.
    [Benny and Bjorn:] I'm a B.

    [Benny:] I am a B.
    [Frida:] I am an A.
    [Agnetha:] I'm Agnetha. hello. I'm the young one, you know.
    [Frida:] and she never lets me forget.
    [Agnetha:] I am gentle and mild. Underneath it, I'm wild.
    [Bjorn:] Craziest woman I've met.
    [Agnetha:] I'm romantic, they say, But it's not quite that way. I'm down to earth, yes indeed.
    [Agnetha:] And I like early nights, so I turn off the lights.
    [Bjorn:] And I never get any chances to read.
    [Agnetha and Frida:] I am an A.
    [Benny and Bjorn:] I'm a B.
    [Agnetha and Frida:] He is okay.

    [Benny:] I am Benny, at last, and I'm living quite fast. I like to travel and see.
    [Benny:] I can play day and night, If the feeling's alright.
    [Frida:] And it's sometimes a problem for me.
    [Benny:] I can play in "the mood". I like wine. I like food.
    [Bjorn:] Now, that's something He just can't deny.
    [Benny:] But I'm the talented one, with a place in the sun
    [Bjorn, Agnetha and Frida:] When he's not bragging he's quite a nice guy
    [Agnetha and Frida:] I am an A.
    [Benny and Bjorn:] I'm a B.
    [Agnetha and Frida:] He is okay.
    [Benny and Bjorn:] So is she.

    Very much a musical influence in this ...as in "thank you for the music". And i love the humour and the mise en abyme. Shame this song wasnt recorded proper or more famous. It shows a different side of the band.
