Pauline Chiou, the Hong Hong anchor of World Business Today on CNN International (DStv 401) declared her love for ABBA leaving her co-anchor Charles Hodson stunned, bewildered, looking perplexed and somewhat speechless, and unable to compete with her ABBA witticisms in the closing moment's of this morning's show.
It followed after a story from the new museum in Stockholm which has now opened its door as a shrine to all ABBA fans of the hugely successful Swedish pop group of the seventies and eighties.
"I will publicly declare on air that I'm a huge ABBA fan. In fact when I was 12 years old I asked for the greatest hits for my Christmas gift and my parents obliged. I was definitely the Dancing Queen in my parents' living room that year," said Pauline Chiou.
"Okay," said Charles Hodson.
"We want you to be the Dancing Queen in the Hong Kong studio there, Pauline," he said. "A bit of kareoke would be just the right thing, actually," said Charles Hodson.
"Yeah, that sounds like that's The Name of the Game," Pauline Chiou shot back, working in another ABBA song title.
Pauline Chiou started laughing as a somewhat frowning, perplexed looking Charles Hodson was at a loss for words.
