Talk:Waterloo (song)

message: The text says: "'Waterloo' is based on a romance taking place during the Battle of Waterloo where Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated in 1815." Is this true? I always thought Waterloo was about a girl or woman giving in to a guy's love just like Napoleon had to give in at Waterloo.
the text goes: "the history book on the shelf, is always repeating itself" meaning history repeats, an not that this romance takes place during the battle of Waterloo. PrinceCharming 16:28, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Unless there is proof by someone tied in to ABBA, it's just wishful thinking. Edit that part out. Mike H. That's hot 17:48, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The silver disc is for downlaods/streams and is therefore sales of 200,000.
It was not awarded a silver disc in 1974 - even though it sold enough to be eligible. The record company didn't apply.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coachtripfan (talk • contribs) 16:53, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
