[edit] what the song is about

The text says: "'Waterloo' is based on a romance taking place during the Battle of Waterloo where Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated in 1815." Is this true? I always thought Waterloo was about a girl or woman giving in to a guy's love just like Napoleon had to give in at Waterloo. the text goes: "the history book on the shelf, is always repeating itself" meaning history repeats, an not that this romance takes place during the battle of Waterloo.

I agree. Unless there is proof by someone tied in to ABBA, it's just wishful thinking. Edit that part out. Mike H. That's hot 17:48, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Talk:Waterloo (English version) - Waterloo (English version) → Waterloo (song) - This is the only article on a song called "Waterloo" and "English version" lacks context -- MisterHand 16:37, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Support as per reason given. David Kernow 22:52, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support per nominator. There is no reason an article about any other version of the song should be on the English Wikipedia. joturner 02:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support --Francis Schonken 11:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose "Waterloo" wasn't the only single ABBA released in two separate versions. ~~~~ (signed by Supertrouperdc)AndyZ 00:02, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support The above comment makes no sense - so what? Graham 04:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support -- I was surprised to see this article name. Further Waterloo (song) should contain any encyclopedic information about any version (until the article becomes unmangeable). Jkelly 05:06, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

What sampled the song because there is another song that sounds just like it which I can't find. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellowstone County Girl (talk • contribs) 04:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
