          I remember ABBA but wasn’t a fan of theirs so didn’t recognize this as a song of theirs.

    #8 – “The angels came” and took Honey away, presumably to a special place in heaven for sweet “kinda dumb” women (it’s in the lyrics). I cringed every time I heard the song back then.

      Mitch, I appreciate you filling in the missing pieces. I actually liked that song when I was a little kid, the rhyming in it seems “kinda dumb” now :)

    You’ve got 6 right answers Lisa. #8 was a good answer, but not what I was looking for

      As you can see I misinterpreted the questions for #1 and #8. I will pay closer attention next time. Still had fun :)
