Waterloo

ABBA recorded this song in English, Swedish, French and German. Plus, there is an alternative mix around (used to be very rare, but now can be bought quite easily from places like iTunes), plus a live version out there as well on the "Live at Wembley Arena" album, and another live version on the increasingly rare "ABBA Live" album. So there's seven, count 'em, seven versions of this song out there. As if that wasn't enough, there is also a music video, and various TV appearances of them doing the song.
