Which group sang a holiday song similar to the song that Tarja Turunen recorded as "Heinillä Härkien?"
Happy New Year (song) "Happy New Year" is a song by Swedish group ABBA from their 1980 album "Super Trouper". The lead vocals are by Agnetha Fältskog. The song's working title was the more festive and humorous "Daddy Don't Get Drunk on Christmas Day". Although recorded in 1980, the English-language song was released as a single in Europe in 1999 and charted at no. 34 in Sweden, no. 15 in the Netherlands, no. 75 in Germany, to promote the CD re-release of many of ABBA's singles.
Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday "Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday" is a 1979 single by Euro disco band Boney M. as an adaptation of nursery rhyme "Polly Wolly Doodle". Despite breaking their row of 7 consecutive German #1 singles, peaking at #4, the single was a big hit all over Europe, peaking at #3 in the UK. The song and its B-side "Ribbons of Blue" were taken from the movie "Disco Fever". Even though the single cover announced the arrival of the next Boney M. album "Oceans of Fantasy", it would still be another six months before the album was released, and of the two songs, only "Ribbons of Blue" (penned by the group's drummer Keith Forsey) was included and just in a one- or two-minute edit, depending on the various pressings.
