Wow, I just found two covers which I did not know about...
...I was genuinely very surprised as I am a fan of both artists...
But who could have guessed that they were also fans of eachother?
...reality is sometimes weirder than poetry, I guess

David Bowie covers ABBA:s "The Winner Takes It All"
Quote: "RARE AUDIO - Recorded inbetween sessions for Bowie's Let's Dance Single at The Power Station in Manhattan in 1982. Bowie apparently played around a lot with the song and really wanted to record it properly, but it was never to be."

ABBA:s Frida covers David Bowies "Life On Mars?", translated to Swedish:

I like both covers, but as often, the originals are the best.
But I really liked Bowies "naked" version of "The Winner Takes It All", it is very fragile, sad and emotional.
