ABBA (stylised ᗅᗺᗷᗅ) were a Swedish pop group who formed in Stockholm in 1972. With members Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, ABBA became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1975 to 1982. They won the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 at the Dome in Brighton, UK, giving Sweden its first triumph in the contest, and were the most successful group ever to take part in the competition.
ABBA's record sales figure is uncertain and various estimates range from over 140 to over 500 million sold records. This makes them one of the best-selling music artists, and the second best-selling music group of all time, after the Beatles. ABBA was the first group to come from a non-English-speaking country to enjoy consistent success in the charts of English-speaking countries, including the UK, Ireland, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The group also enjoyed significant success in Latin American markets, and recorded a collection of their hit songs in Spanish.

Sikandar Sanam' (21 September 1960 – 5 November 2012) was a Pakistani stage artist, singer, actor and stand up comedian. In Pakistan, he was known as the artist who redefined the art of on-stage mimicry. Sikandar's father, the late Syed Abdul Sattar Shoqeen Jetpuri (a Gujarati poet), was a well-known poet from Jetpur, India. Sanam credited his father as, versatile, talented and proficient who patronized him with his talent.
Sanam started performing on-stage as a child artist and singer. He preferred acting over singing and decided to enter show business. He changed his name from Mohammad Sikandar to Sikandar Sanam (Sanam meaning beloved in Urdu).
He was one of the rare comedians to have come out from the Karachi theatre scene. Despite his colloquial jokes and street smart improvisational skills like many other theatre comedians, what distinguished him from others was his Pakistani remakes of Indian films amongst which Khal Nayak 2, Shayla 2, Munna Bhai MBBS 2 and Tere Naam Part 2 were the most famous. The craze for these remakes increased so much over time that the cable operators played them on public demand, and later on, a number of mainstream entertainment channels also aired them.
Abends,
wenn sich der Tag verkriecht.
Abends,
wenn es nach Freiheit riecht.
Abends,
sperr' deine Wünsche nicht ein.
Abends,
wenn sich das Leben schminkt.
Abends,
wenn die Stadt Sehnsucht trinkt.
Abends,
laß' mal dein Zimmer allein.
Neonlichter, die blitzen,
Lichtreflexe in Pfützen.
Bleib' im Auto ruhig sitzen.
Schalt' dein Radio an,
fahr' die Straßen entlang.
Illusion hinter Scheiben,
Menschen, Kinos und Kneipen.
Irgendwo wirst du bleiben,
und dort findest du mich,
denn ich warte auf dich.
Abends,
wenn sich der Tag verkriecht.
Abends...
Lieder, die nach dir greifen,
Blicke, die dich nur streifen,
Träume, die in dir reifen,
warten auf den Moment,
bis uns zwei nichts mehr trennt.
Du hast nichts zu verlieren,
dein Gefühl wird dich führen,
laß' es einfach passieren,
uns gehört diese Nacht
bis der Morgen erwacht.
