Musical Interlude: The Winner Takes it All (1980)

 ABBA landed in the top 10 on the Hot 100 for the last time in 1980 with "The Winner Takes it All", the 1st single off the "Super Trouper" album. Despite the theme of the song, the title alone lends it all to tournaments like the NCAA men's & women's basketball tournaments, which have begun (men) or will this weekend (women).

If they play the instrumental some time, then you know they got the message. I'd prefer the instrumental of this than the schmaltzy "One Shining Moment"....
