Björn Again is a parody of the Swedish pop group ABBA
founded in 1988 in Australia, but now involving multiple touring troupes performing under the Björn Again name. The show takes its name from Björn Ulvaeus, a member of ABBA, and a pun on the phrase "born again".
Character of the act
Björn Again is run as a light-hearted parody of ABBA, with the use of pidgin Swedish (or 'Swenglish') and stage character names of Agnetha Falstart, Benny Anderwear, Frida Longstokin, and Björn Volvo-us reflecting the names of the original members of ABBA. Björn Again also has a bass guitarist Rutger Sonofagunn and the drummer Ola Drumkitt (from long-time ABBA session musicians Rutger Gunnarsson and Ola Brunkert).
History
Björn Again was created in 1988 in Melbourne, Australia by Rod Stephen and John Tyrrell. After the first Björn Again show at a pub in the inner Melbourne suburb of Collingwood called The Tote Hotel on 6 May 1989 the show's popularity increased quickly, which first took the group Australia-wide and then overseas to international acclaim. John has been the manager since the band's inception, and in 2003 Rod was appointed manager of the UK-European region.
"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" was written and composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, with the lead vocal sung by Agnetha Fältskog. Agnetha, as the narrator, weaves the image of a lonely young woman who longs for a romantic relationship and views her loneliness as a forbidding darkness of night, even drawing parallels to how the happy endings of movie stars are so different from her own existence.
The song was recorded at Polar Music Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, in August 1979, and was ready for release in October of that year, in conjunction with the group's tour of North America and Europe.

Lyrics
"Gimme Gimme Gimme"
by Abba
Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man...

You were meant to live large Come on, take charge Let's go light the world up Let's not wait until the end To be the things we wish we'd been You were meant to live life Come on, let's fly You're a super trouper spotlight We're gonna jump on the count of three Here it comes now ONE - TWO - THREE jump If you were a country you'd be Switzerland You never take a stand You policy is never to offend If you were a gambler you would always win You'd only bet on the horses after they had already come in And I'm sorry that I'm getting on your cause But true friends, they stab you in the face If you were in a movie, you'd be thug number 5 Cuz you don't try out for a starring role But you name belongs in lights If you got a GI Joe, you'd never open up the box Safe inside it's plastic prison Waiting for the day it rots And I'm sorry that I'm getting on your case
