h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Good grief, not only was I completely oblivious of this song, but it seems to have had quite an impact on people.

From the comments:

'It's a mystery why this wasn't released as the follow up to Take A Chance On Me in the UK in the summer of 1978. Such an obvious choice but instead the record company released the mediocre Summer Night City instead. A definate case of? what might have been..'

'I heard this song while I was doing my first year at College.I was? just 18 years then and I became a fan of Abba, and then on I began collecting cassettes where ever they were available. This one and Fernando, are my favorites. I don't know whether these two songs were sad songs or not. But whenever I heard them, my eyes get closed, and by the time the songs are over, I realise that I have shed tears and tears have rolled down my cheeks. I am now 64 years.Abba, I love you dear.'

Oh, I almost liked the song. I think it was in the movie, too. May I excuse myself with my very young age back then?

Had The Album . Though Eagle is absolutely a good song, my favourite songs on it were Take a Chance on Me, The Name of the Game & Hole in Your Soul...
