Audio sample? ="When I Kissed The Teacher", originally "Rio de Janiero", is a song by Swedish pop group ABBA. It is the opening track on their 1976 album "Arrival". The song's light-hearted lyrics tell the story of a student who has a crush on her teacher, one day cannot restrain herself and kisses him.

Unusually for an ABBA song, the video tells the story of the song, with Agnetha playing the besotted student, and the other group members playing the other students in the class. The teacher's reaction is, ironically, the complete opposite of what most teachers reactions would be in real life - he is quite touched by Agnetha's kiss.
