tuned in just in time to catch eurovision's 1974 winners. blech.
I have to disagree with the blech.
But I have a friend who grew up in Ireland, and he remembers watching Eurovision contest that year. He said that ABBA was so different from the other acts, that he was sure they would either (1) get kicked off the show or (2) win it.
It's kind of a kick (that is if you actually like ABBA) to YouTube search for "eurovision abba waterloo" and see their original performances.
