Since the beginning, in Aarhus, 20 years ago, they have developed into a professional and perpetual success with Swedish Abba as their ideal. The need to worship Abba and their music did far from vanish with the break up of the group in 1982.
Abba Revival Bands unerring cover has convinced many fans and led the band on a successful pop-odyssey with Abba's fantastic pop songs and cool seventies-glam in the trunk. With the billing, "The Original Abba Revival Band From Scandinavia" they have successfully toured for a great number of years and appeared on several TV- and radio shows in Scandinavia, Greenland and Germany.
The Abba Revival Band members are currently seven show musicians from Aarhus, Copenhagen and Stockholm. The band performs using the classic abba-line-up with the two couples in front and a backing band.
The overall impression of the sound, the costumes and the show comes close to the real thing and many festivals; company parties and clubs have given in to the irresistible urge to party, dance and sing-a-long.

Abba Revival Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
[Chorus]
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question see'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous
I know what you think
"The girl means business so I'll offer her a drink"
Looking mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd
I'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
Master of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
[Chorus]
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
[Chorus]
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
I can still say voulez-vous

You know what to do (ah-ha)
I can still say voulez-vous
