Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Formed in 1998 by Niklas Berg, the Swedish pop group A-Teens (sometimes stylized as A*Teens) began as an ABBA cover group for the the Teen Pop Revival of the Turn of the Millennium. Like ABBA, the band consisted of two males, Amit and Dhani, and two females, Marie and Sara.The cover group gimmick only lasted one album, The ABBA Generation. Their follow-up, Teen Spirit, saw the group doing exclusively original material and scored the group's biggest hit, "Bouncing Off The Ceiling (Upside Down)." The group released one more album, Pop 'Till You Drop, in 2002 before disbanding in 2004.

Gender-Equal Ensemble; Much like the group they were based on, it was a foursome that consisted of two men and two women.

Artifact Title: As mentioned above, the A in A-Teens initially stood for ABBA when the group was an ABBA tribute act, but the A-Teens never covered any more of their songs after that first album.

Nonindicative Name: Their first album, The ABBA Generation, was specifically made for a generation who'd never even heard of ABBA, and none of the A-Teens themselves were even born when ABBA was together.

Working-Class Hero: In their video remake of "Mamma Mia," they are seen as waiters, that is, until they summon a party.

Only Known by Their Nickname: During the tenure, Dhani was rarely called by his real name, John, by anyone including his bandmates and anyone interviewing them. He was often called by his middle name.

Shout-Out: There had been a few, other than ABBA covers: Their video remake of "Dancing Queen" spoofs The Breakfast Club, observe. "A Perfect Match" mentions South Park. A KISS poster appears in the teenage boy's bedroom in "Super Trouper."

Spinoff Babies: What the group was original conceived as, a tribute act who performed ABBA covers with a 2000s teen pop shtick, but the gimmick only lasted one album.

Cover Version
 A-Teens (Music) / int_cff53786
comment
Cover Version: In addition to all of the ABBA covers in The ABBA Generation, there was... "Morning Light" (E-Type). "One Night in Bangkok" (Murray Head. While not technically an ABBA cover, it was from a musical co-written by Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson). "I Promised Myself" (Nick Kamen). "Can't Help Falling In Love" (Elvis Presley, for the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack). "School's Out", which even featured Alice Cooper on backup vocals.

Surprisingly Good English: As this video demonstrates, despite being taught British English, Marie sounded like she was from California while Sara sounded like a New Yorker rather than Sweden. This one also has a clear demonstration.
