December 19, 200816 yr Author Yes it's Glasgow. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/abba/super+tr...r_20002993.html Yeah but this is not the case I promise you. Bjorn and Benny told us. It is something that sounds like Lescos. Colin Berry on BBC Radio could tell me the answer. But it definately ain`t Glasgow. Although the lyrics you find across the web say it is...I`m thinking possibly Lemesjo? I must get in touch with Colin. If you think about it. Why on earth would they say Glasgow...they`d probably never been there!

December 21, 200816 yr I know the ABBA writer Carl Magnus Palm. I've E-mailed him about the 'Glasgow' matter, & here is his reply:, They are definitely singing Glasgow , whatever Björn and Benny may or may not have told the BBC Radio people at the time. Also, Björn has discussed the choice of “ Glasgow ” for the lyrics in at least one fairly recent interview. And as for them not having been in Glasgow , ABBA had played there twice (in 1977 and 1979) by the time the Super Trouper lyrics were written.
