Hagge: How do you think those four
persons will describe you?
Stig: Well, I don't know, but......
Hagge: You'll get to know now.
Stig: Aha - how cool!
Benny: This was going to be kept as a secret, but WE discovered
Stikkan - not the other way round. He was poor so we leant him some money for
paper and pens. We dictated a lyric for him called "Waterloo" and bought him a
dinner jacket so he could go with us to Brighton. When we came home, we made him
Managing Director.
Frida: Stikkan is extremely nice....and extremely mad! He dreams of
being as good an accordion player as Benny and be allowed to join Bröderna
Lindqvist (the Lindqvist brothers). He's best at hambo (Swedish
dance?) and dreams about singing "Tivedshambo" on TV.
Björn: Stikkan is Sweden's new Sandrew. He's extremely nice and has
always has a packed lunch with him on trips abroad. He doesn't pay us any salary
- we have to borrow from him at a horrifying interest rate! All the money he
earns he buries on Järvafältet (nature reserve outside Stockholm).
Agnetha: I'm going to tell another secret: Stikkan Anderson actually
doesn't exist - it's just a signature. Behind that there's a woman called Gudrun.
She has written all the lyrics and she's the boss for everything ABBA. When
someone asks for Stikkan, we show a man with a moustache.........but it's only a
signboard - because there's a woman behind everything.
Now Stikkan is seen shedding a tear. Afterwards he's asked to sing "Tivedshambo",
which he does after being presented with the lyrics.
