Waterloo by Abba which won the Eurovision Song Contest at the Brighton Centre.

Hardly a Brighton song but it did come out of Brighton.

It only won the Euro contest being held in Brighton that year, was neither written here nor did any of them live here, but i do like the tenuous link :)

Was Bobby Gillespie living in Brighton when Screamadelica was conceived? If so this is the, slightly tenuous, winner surely?
