| Olivia particularly didn't like the title song for its "oom-pah-pah" flavor (Minster Oktoberfest and Hudepohl Beer optional)which she believes was why it only went to third place. (ABBA's "Waterloo" came in first.) At the suggestion of freind Helen Reddy,Olivia moves to the U.S. taking up residence in Malibu,CA to continue her ongoing success. |
