Waterloo probably plays this version. Not bad.

My brother, you need the love of iron Maiden in your life.

Fetch me an old guitarist and a young guitarist, a bell book and candle, we're doing us an exorcism!!

Never really got into them but I am sure there are a couple of their songs
I would remember if I heard them and would like them. Just because I like ABBA does not mean I don't like other types of music. I also like Megadeath and Metallica and Queen and big band music and some classical and some funk and contemporary Jazz, and a tiny bit of country depending on message.

Before ABBA the girls were in a band called "The Hootenannies". But went on as ABBA to do rock songs like "Watch Out" which sounds more like KISS.

I also like REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Rush, Styx, Paula Abdul, Harry Connic Jr, Weird Al.

Little know underground rock god Yingwie Malmsteen did a ABBA cover "Gimme Gimme Gimme", kicks ass.

We need to do another study where we get a few private games of football. In 50% of them, clergy members and scientists and a metric shitton (96, if memory serves) of other people pray for team A to win and the other 50% no praying is done. The teams would be replaced each time with balanced teams, and the results would be recorded.

“God cannot be put to the test“.

See, the problem there is that even though what you're proposing would be a sound scientific study, it won't do a damn thing to convince the diehard faithful. They'll just spin the negative result into proof positive for their pet god; it's just hiding from the test that's all, proving that it's really there and fucking with the results.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

No need for a study, the proof has been living between my legs for years.
