Following its release to Australia, ABBAs Fernando was top of the Top 40 for over 40 weeks. We had a TV show called Countdown that used to play the #1 song at the end each week. After about 10 weeks the producers decided to play another song. Complaint calls were swift and many, and we heard Fernando until it eventually fell from the top spot.
For us, it was In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida...
Someone was always playing it in the barracks... loud.
I'm OK... now.
One of our favorite karaoke places in Japan had that lyric written as "dig in the dancing queen" and now my wife and I always have to pantomime digging motions whenever we hear it.
Now the corus to Fernando is playin' in my head. I will have to dig up Dancing Queen to drown it out

Going to the doctor's office, and there was an ashtray on his desk.. For him, and maybe for you. Nothing beats talking about your health over a cigarette with your doctor!

It was never Kool-Aid, it was Flavorade, but that didn't quite roll off the tongue and make the zeitgeist like Kool-Aid did.

Anyone else fondly remember these?
Oh, wow! I didn't remember those, but yeah, now that you mention it.
Yeah, but as a horny adolescent, I thought that the blonde chick was kind of hot. Definitely tested the stitching integrity in the crotch area of my Toughskins jeans.
What about 1-2-3 Jello?

I know what you mean. it reminds me of 'something' too!
my first 2 guesses listed above..
The color change behind the letters goes with the words near the top of the poster, and the checkerboard pattern goes with the checkerboard at the bottom.

me too, but the 'ZX81' was the more popular / recognized one..
Even built my own 16k memory module, with dad's help of course (electrical eng).. 'Wire wrap' was the fad at the time, so I had a "wire wrap" module..
we soon upgraded to a TRS 80..

Yep, I learned about those coin locks from a YouTube channel called LockPickingLawyer, and watched him pick one open.
Apparently one reason they went away was because it was considered sex discrimination - Men didn't always need the stall.
Guess I'm an outlier. I enjoyed (still do) ABBA from college days. Say what you want but they were a heckuvalot better than 98% of today's music. Absolutely NOT FUN fact: the brunette, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, was a Tyskerbarnas or German child, the result of German Lebensborn. They wanted pure Aryan children, so Norwegian (and other) women were forced into relationships with Germans, to produce such.
