During the Arrival sessions, the song was reworked into "Happy Hawaii": different lyrics, exotica-esque arrangement and lead vocals by Agnetha and Frida. Towards the end of the album sessions, Björn and Benny changed their minds again and decided to record a version which was fairly close to the original demo, with some minor lyrical and musical adjustments.
"Happy Hawaii" first appeared in 1977 as a B side of "Knowing Me, Knowing You." - Published by
