'Waterloo', perhaps not - but the non-ironic Abba revival is in full
flow:

"Thing is, Abba wrote real love songs. In most Pop, 'love' is a code for
infatuation or sex or some combination of the two. With Abba, we were
dealing with emotions that had simmered and accreted for years. Like
Roxy Music, they were both confidently post-adolescent and thorougly
modern. There was no question of their pretending to be teenagers or
pursuing a teenage market."
