[challenge entry] Based on a true story - Chiquitita


- A workman was painting my studio walls listening to the radio when Abba came on and he started singing 'chicken tikka' to the song.
I laughed and said it was wrong and when he asked me the correct meaning I had to admit I didn't know.
30 mins later Benny phoned me (we have worked together now for over 10 years) and I was able to ask the man himself. The workman was blown away. The answer? If I win the compo I will tell you.

# Haha !
Can't knock Abba - the ladies helped (hindered) me through adolescence.

And you've got to admire anyone who can get Glasgow into their lyrics..

# just found this off some lyric site...
"Originally, this was called "In The Arms Of Rozellita." Bjorn Ulvaeus, who wrote the song, liked the title but couldn't find a matching story, so it became "Chiquitita.""
