When the customers thinned out we would talk about what the men would be allowed to wear while they washed the windows. It's so much fun being the nice girl sometimes.

The song was a huge hit around the world in 1982.<BR/><BR/>Song history<BR/>Recording began in ABBA's Polar Studio, Stockholm, in February 1982. At the time of the recording, Frida wanted to distance herself from "the typical ABBA pop sound". "I Know There's Something Going On", written by Russ Ballard and produced by Genesis drummer and singer Phil Collins, shows off a rockier edge when compared to ABBA's songs. Collins plays the heavy drumbeat with Daryl Stuermer the rocking guitars.<BR/><BR/>Soon after its release, the song started climbing the charts around the world and became a massive hit. It hit #1 in France (spending five weeks on top), Belgium, Switzerland and Costa Rica, and was a Top 10 hit throughout Europe as well as in Australia and South Africa. In the United States, the track reached a respectable #13.<BR/><BR/>This single sold 3.5 million copies worldwide and did far better than the last ABBA singles recorded and released in 1982.<BR/><BR/>Something's Going On is also the <BR/><BR/>Cheers!Matthew S.
