| Transcript | Timmy Mallet: The song's called "Just Like That", now you are going
... (fades) Clip of PROMO of Gemini's Just Like That TM: Well that's "Just Like That" from Gemini and Björn's with us this morning, hello Björn Björn Ulvaeus: Good morning Timmy TM: Right, now you wrote that song didn't you? BU: Yeah, I wrote it together with Benny TM: Who exactly are Gemini? BU: Well they are brother and sister and we met them while we we were recording the album of "Chess" and we thought they were extremely talented and very nice to work with so we said that if we found the time we'd record an album with them and we did TM: Well listen, after groups like Aha from Norway and yourselves from Sweden have we got anything to expect from Finland or Denmark?! BU: I doubt that very much! (laughs) TM: Ah! What about Chess now we had that song from Murray Head last year, "One Night in Bangkok" and the Elaine Paige thing, now when's it actually going to open? BU: It's going to open on 14th May (clears throat), sorry, on the Prince Edward Theatre in the west end TM: Right, listen, is there going to be a re-issue of any of the old ABBA stuff, you now how we've had these songs from The Real Thing and Tavares in the charts again, are you going to do ABBA remix - or medley? BU: Um, no, I don't think so. However there will be a live album from ABBA coming out next autumn TM: Right - are you still actually doing stuff together? BU: Um, no, not at the moment. We haven't been doing anything together for five years now I think TM: So this live album, how are you going to do that? Is this old stuff that you did ages ago? BU: It is old stuff, yes, but it's never been released before TM: Right, OK, just actually can you play chess? BU: No, I don't play chess and I think it's an advantage in this case because when the others get too technical, I say "this is boring!" TM: (laughs) Björn thank you very much for joining us this morning BU: Thank you TM: ... and we wish Gemini lots of success with that song BU: OK! TM: OK! |
