Trivia The title track, after its success as a single in the UK was parodied in a sketch on the BBC comedy programme, Not the Nine O'Clock News in 1981. The sketch comprised a very close musical parody of the song, called Super Duper, with rather scathing words about Abba: - One of us is ugly, one of us is cute
- One of us you'd like to see in her birthday suit
- Two of us write music, two have way a song
- Sorry, in translation, that line come out wrong
Anni-Frid, Benny, Bjorn, and Agnetha were played (in order) by Griff Rhys Jones, Mel Smith, Rowan Atkinson and Pamela Stephenson. The sketch was a very close parody of the video for Super Trouper.
