"Det kan ingen doktor hjälpa" (Translation: "It can't be helped by a doctor") is a Swedish-language song written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson. The song was recorded on 23 April 1971 and features Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad on backing vocals.[1]
The song was entered by Andersson and Ulvaeus at Melodifestivalen 1971, the Swedish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, but was rejected during the selection process.[2] Three years later, Ulvaeus and Andersson alongside Fältskog and Lyngstad won the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 with "Waterloo" as ABBA.
Released as a single in the summer of 1971, on 25 July 1971, "Det kan ingen doktor hjälpa" was a minor hit. The song entered the Toppentipset (Svensktoppen) chart, at number 14.[3] The following week, the song reached its peak position number 8.[4]
