And then worst of all you never call baby when you say you wi. Why do you build me up Buttercup baby Just to let me down.
It was covered by Morgan Burke MFP Studio Artists. I had never heard the claim before, regarding a Tchaikovsky concerto being plagiarised for an ABBA song. And then worst of all you never call baby when you say you wi.

There are other claims where Wizzard's See My Baby Jive had a role in inspiring Benny and Björn to make Waterloo, but whichever claim is correct is up to them. That Foundations song sounds rather a bit like Baby Love by the Supremes rather than Waterloo, phrasing wise - I suppose I may view it a bit differently because from what I'm picking up there's an I-III-IV-V chord progression in C major for Foundations whereas ABBA's chorus is a rather straight forward I-IV in D major. switching to V-I-V, and then starting the refrain again, discounting the ascending quasi-bluesy diatonic bassline. The swung notes of "ti, la-la" may be a bit too simple to be merited as a copyrighted melody in my opinion because it's not nearly as complex enough or creative. (Made in Sweden: Studies in Popular Music - Routledge) It's no surprise that ABBA's early music tends to sound like a deliberate review of what 1960s music had, and I also read Stikkan Anderson tend to buy songs in order to make Swedish hits and make a name for himself and Polar Music before ABBA was formed. When they sing 'Build - me up', the two notes (fourth resolving to third) harmonise with the two notes (sixth resolving to fifth) of 'Wa - terloo'. If you listen to the Waterloo chorus and try to block out the lead melody line, you can hear the Build Me Up melody snippet (sung as Wa - terloo of course!) as the harmony below the lead.
