The program is visited by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his daughter Mpho, artist Elvis Costello and Anni-Frid Lyngstad - the only one of ABBA as not visited the talk show before.

Via Google Translate:

Elvis Costello emerged in the late 70th century and is still on top. Now Elvis Costello threatened that he recorded his last album. Skavlan check if it is correct.

What d'you reckon the chances are that some sort of collaboration comes out of this?

Maybe he'll finally find out what she thought of the songs he sent her in 1982.

"Seconds Of Pleasure" — The third part in the continuing saga of a wandering song. This version was rewritten as a woman's song with the addition of a bridge and along with "I Turn Around" and "Imperial Bedroom" were sent to Anni-Frid Lyngstad (or "Frida") for possible inclusion on her first solo album after the break-up of our beloved ABBA. I never found out what she made of this rather odd selection of songs, but I know that her producer, a certain Mr. P. Collins didn't think much of any of them as I heard it from his own lips.

About the same as when Elvis and Bon Jovi had their mini mutual appreciation.

God, Verbs, I would've loved to have heard Elvis's unique vibrato on 'Wanted Dead or Alive' or 'Livin' on a Prayer'!

Great interview and performance. The "breaking" in his voice when speaking of not being able to sing his songs for his father was very moving.
