Add to EJ Playlist  Here I am exploring my back garden jungle, its amazing what you can find in there! I came across this old explorer guy, who said he was tired of searching for the source of the Nile. I told him "Dr. Livingstone, I presume,,,,,,,y ou know Abba made a song about you!". He had one listen to this song and that was it - he was inspired again and off he went at lightning speed singing this at the top of his voice! Abba's classic songs continue to inspire people all over the world today! We compared explorer's logs before he went, and he muttered something in Scottish at this lot. My explorer's log to date: Poland x2, Hungary x3, Czech Republic x3, France x2, Holland, Belgium, Germany x3, Switzerland x2, Austria x3, Spain x2, Gibraltar, Italy x4, Greece, Sicily, Malta x2, Cyprus, Wales, Scotland, Isle Of Man, Jersey, Thailand, Egypt, Morrocco, Kenya, USA x3, Canada....to be continued. The text in each picture is listed below. . 0:00 Me in my back garden jungle 0:13 David Livingstone (1813-73) Scottish missionary who explored tropical Africa and inspired Abba to do this song 100 years later 0:25 Livingstone became the first European to cross the width of Southern Africa, freeing natives from slavery on his travels 0:37 Livingstone is attacked by a lion in the jungle and "shaken as a terrier does a rat" - its jaws broke his arm in 2 places 0:50 Livingstone was saved by Mebalwe a local teacher who was also badly injured in this attack, but they carried on! 1:01 They could have been lunch! 1:14 Luckily that hungry lion had gone when I followed in Livingstone's footsteps! 1:27 Livingstone travelled down the Zambezi River to discover spectacular Victoria Falls which the natives call "smoke that thunders" 1:38 When Livingstone first saw the Victoria Falls he said "Scenes so lovely must be gazed upon by angels in their flight" 1:50 Livingstone continues his explorations and anti slavery and searches for the source of the River Nile 2:02 After nothing was heard from Livingstone for many months explorer and journalist Henry Stanley was sent out to find him 2:15 They meet in 1871 and Stanley utters the famous phrase: 'Dr Livingstone I presume ...you know Abba will write a song about you!" 2:26 Livingstone continued his efforts to find the source of the Nile, but he caught malaria and had to be carried out of the jungle 2:39 Livingstone died while kneeling in prayer His body was carried 1000 miles & sent back to England and buried at Westminster Abbey 2:49 Livingstone's heart was buried under a Mvula tree near the spot where he died. The local tribe said "You can have his body, but his heart belongs in Africa!" There is a town named after Livingstone near the Victoria Falls in Zambia. Its the only town that did not get its name changed after independence, because the president's father was educated by the Scottish missionaries who followed Livingstone. What About Livingstone was recorded on October 17 1973 at the Metronome Studios Stockhom for Abba's 2nd album "Waterloo". Perhaps inspired by the cetenary of the death of famous explorer David Livingstone (1813-73) this song is unique and original, like many of Abba's songs have been. Their new name Abba was used for the first time on the recording session sheet. This was first written as "Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida", but was subsequently crossed out with "ABBA" written in large letters on top. Waterloo was the first album released under their new group name Abba. It was released on March 4 1974 with this song as track 9 . . What About Livingstone Working Title: Baby I Won't Come Back Music / Lyrics: Benny Andersson / Bjorn Ulvaeus Lead vocals: Agnetha & Frida Went to buy me a paper At the local news-stand And then I heard them laugh and say "Look they're gonna go flyin' Way up to the moon now Hey what's it good for anyway?" So I said, "Fellers Like to ask you a thing if I may What about Livingstone? What about all those men Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way? Tell me wasn't it worth the while Travellin' up the Nile? Putting themselves on test Didn't that help the rest? Wasn't it worth it then? What about Livingstone?" And all of those fellers At the local news-stand Didn't know what to answer or what to say, So I told about him That he was just like One of those spacemen in his way And if you laugh at them Then there's only a thing I can say "What about Livingstone? What about all those men Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way? Tell me wasn't it worth the while Travellin' up the Nile? Putting themselves on test Didn't that help the rest? Wasn't it worth it then? What about Livingstone "What about Livingstone? What about all those men Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way? Tell me wasn't it worth the while Travellin' up the Nile? Putting themselves on test Didn't that help the rest? Wasn't it worth it then? What about Livingstone?"

Ulvæus) When you were lonely, you needed a man Someone to lean on, well, I understand It's only natural But why did it have to be me? Nights can be empty, and nights can be cold So you were looking for someone to hold That's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome I was blue I couldn't help it It had to be you And I always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are Beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me Men are the toys in the game that you play When you get tired you throw 'em away That's only natural But why did it have to be me? Falling in love with a woman like you Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do It's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome I was blue I couldn't help it It had to be you And I always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are Beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me ©1976 Polar Music International AB
