Oh I should explain why the girls are wearing identical wigs and dresses in the live I Am A Marrionette version. ABBA decided to do a mini musical called The Girl With The Golden Hair when they toured Australia back in 1977. This musical was about a girl who had two personalities - one that enjoyed the stardom and the other that hated it. It's essentially the story of Agnetha, who didn't enjoy being on tour and didn't enjoy the name and fame that came with it. Anni-Frid played the other side of the character that enjoyed it.
Four songs were written for this mini musical. 1. I Am A Marrionette. 2. Get On The Carousel. 3. I Wonder. And 4. Thank You For The Music.
Here's a bit from wiki...
"This "25-minute opus" had a thin storyline about a talented "small-town girl leaving her hometown"[1] on her "quest for stardom", and each song is supposed to represent a different part of her personality. Agnetha and Frida both played the woman, sometimes by themselves and at other times together. They wore matching blonde wigs and costumes "for optimum dramatic effect".[3]"
I could find No. 2. Get On The Carousel on Youtube but not the other two. I am obviously looking for the live version from that '77 concert, because otherwise you will find the other two songs of the studio versions both on youtube and on the studio album called - The Album which is ABBA's one of greatest albums.
Here's some of Get on the Carousel's lyrics followed by the song.
Get on the carousel
Get on
The roundabout is just beginning
Get on
It's fun to see the world spinning
Get on the carousel
(well all I really want to do is get off)
Get on the carousel
(well all I really want to do is get off)
Get on
Your happiness is waiting for you
(it's only making me scared)
Get on
Be famous, let the world adore you
(but I don't really care)
