BERLIN, Nov 10 (Reuters) -- Swedish pop legends Abba will not be getting out their spangly jumpsuits again because a reunion would only disappoint their fans, former Abba singer Bjorn Ulvaeus was quoted as saying on Wednesday.

"I can understand that people are longing for Abba, but deep in my heart I know that they would be deeply disappointed if they saw us back up on the stage again today," Ulvaeus, 59, told Germany's Bunte magazine.

"Just look at our videos," he added. "That energy, that drive, that enthusiasm. You just wouldn't see that anymore if the four of us got on stage today. It's just not there."

Abba was one of the most successful 1970s European pop groups. They won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo" and subsequent hits included "Fernando," "Dancing Queen," and "The Winner Takes it All."

The group split up in 1981. Four years ago they turned down an offer of $1 billion to re-form.

The two couples who made up pop's most famous acronym -- Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid -- have long since divorced.
