Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another ABBA reaction with "ELAINE." After being buried awhile it's finally here, and Im shook! What an incredible song with somewhat creepy lyrics. But who cares it's good and find out why!

This is why ABBA has universal appeal. They're masters at everything they do - the best in the business.
As a lifelong ABBA fan,this song sound's as fresh as it was recorded yesterday,even though it's over 40 years ago.
Timeless music never bettered.
i know Im randomly asking but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Jude Gary Instablaster :)
It's true, ABBA never really did a bad song. Their talent was too great.
I like ‘That’s Me’ 😊
Yes! One of my favourites! The harmonies are just amazing.
My favourite non single from them
Hes already covered it
And it has an official video
@@robertpaisley8643 Are you sure? I searched but couldn’t find it in his catalogue of reactions.
Holy Moses, that was a quick approval! 🙌🏼
And totally warranted !!!
@@wayne_twentyfive Agreed!
Well it’s an amazing song 😼👍
The "third voice" is magnificent on this track. I love it!
Hearing a song like this makes one realize how painfully very one dimensional most all of todays music is, especially RAP !
Dereck, you're soooo entertaining !! :)
I don't think they ever spoke enough about how good Frida's voice is at interpreting a lower tone, or how it sounds in a male voice. She even did several choirs in Björn's place with that tone on the album's Spanish version.
The power of a true mezzo-soprano :)
Elaine doesn't have a version in Spanish.
I love this song!! And as a B side of the winner takes it all. The contrast cant be bigger!!
Yep. Abba are LEGEND. 👍🏼
Why on earth this was a b-side and not on the original release of the Super Trouper album is just a mystery to me.
They had so much good material, that they sacrificed some good songs like that
It was a bonus ,a clever thing at that time ,so you have to buy the single and the Album
They have to put something on the B-side. All their songs are so good, no matter which one they chose, they're going to be burning up a fantastic!
So glad you’ve done this one. Love it.
“I’m a Marionette” & “I Wonder” from The Album next pleeeease! 😊
i WONDER Live version and not the tepid album cut.
"Thank you for the music" to.make the trifecta! And because it's a favourite of many who haven't realised he hasn't done it yet lol.
I prefer the album version of I Wonder
+ I'd also gladly see the reaction on both ones
I remember exactly when i heard this song for the 1st time , i was 11 year old at a friends party , that tune stay with me for days and the high energy was something so new for Abba.
❤️❤️❤️
I have always loved ABBA and bought some of their 45 singles. I always took the time after listening to the side A to flip the 45 and listen to side B. I was introduced to the Pipper that way. Elaine is one of them as well.
You can tell instantly how much you loved it, I felt the same when I first heard it, the best part is when the drums come in and she sings they’ll have your mind they take soul oulllllllllllllllll ouullllllllllll nowhere to go your know there gonna get you
Love that synth opening at the beginning! Thanks Dereck! I accidentally scratched this 45 back in 1980 and when the girls get to the first Elaine, Elaine, Elaine part it just kept repeating and repeating Elaine!!!!! Elaine!!!!... we'd always laugh, I would put a dime on the needle and then the track would play all the way through LMAO! God I am old!
Our Last Summer, My Love My Life, I Wonder and Arrival still to come.
And "Thats me"!
You should check out You Owe Me One from 1982.
Yes I Wonder (the live version) and I'm A Marionette (the album version is stunning and perfectly matches the epicness of Eagle from the beginning of Abba the Album). I'm A Marionette would probably be Abba's darkest song besides The Visitors.
"Thank you for the music" to.make the trifecta! And because it's a favourite of many who haven't realised he hasn't done it yet lol.
Their songs--this one particularly, are so appealing to the ears, with such strong harmonies, melodies, rhythms etc. Coupla more gems (from their ABBA album) you may find appealing, are the very funky "Man in the Middle," and the enchanting "Tropical Loveland." So catchy, and Frida's singing is fairly irresistible!
ABBA often tackle with their sensitive lyrics either on B-sides or album tracks, for example I think "Lovers life a little longer" on the Voulez-vous album...I think would make a wonderful worlds aids day anthem. ?. Have a look & listen . Respect.....regards little mickee London u.k 💥🥳 💕💕.
🥺 I am still waiting for the reaction to «Lovelight». ♫♪♫♪♪
YES YES YES -- BANANAS!!!
Geile Mucke !!!
DANKE DERECK !!!
👍👍👍👌👌👌
ABBA IS THE BEST GROUP !!! 💯💥
Absolutely the Best. I'm Fan since 1993.
Elaine hat kaum einer auf dem Radar. 1980 waren ABBA ihrer Zeit so weit voraus. Ein bissiger Beat der erst viel später zum Mainstream wurde.
@@jorgbauer7351 Ich war auch erstaunt, als ich ihn zum ersten mal hörte. Dies war bei mir erst im Juni 2000 der Fall, als ich mir die Box "Thank You For The Music" aus 1994 zulegte. "Should I Laugh Or Cry" finde ich allerdings noch genialer.
@@N-Bahner
Da bin ich voll deiner Meinung lieber Jörg!!!
Should I Laugh Or Cry ist natürlich wieder eine ganz andere Haus Nummer!!!
Schon die Anfangs Musik, The Bass, The Drums,
The Synthy's, dann Frida's
Mezzosopran Stimme!!!👍👍👍
Wow,dass war schon ein richtiger Kracher!!!👌👌👌
Habe nie verstanden,warum dass nur eine B Seite war,aber so ist das nun Mal.
Sie waren ganz große Künstler!!! 💯💥👏👏👏‼️
@@uteorgahs815 Vermute mal, auch hier war wieder Per Lindval als Drummer tätig. Den habe ich schon zu seiner Zeit bei a-ha (2000 - 2007) bewundert. Und bei den neuen Songs ist er ebenfalls zu hören. Hoffentlich lässt man uns nicht noch länger warten.
You realy go deep in ABBA.🥳
I hear some song i not heard since 70-80-ties.
What a youtube channel.
I love it ❤
Hey Dereck.! There are so many beatiful ABBA songs !!! Try this one B side " Lovelight" and from Super Trouper "Our las summer " and dont forget to react to Hole in your soul live version, i sure it will blow your mind !!!
"Suzy Hang Around" is a great little number that should be reacted to.
Love that early one! ❤️
"Watch Out" = ABBA goes hard rock is also nice!
@@sverkernilsson27 Haha, yes absolutely!!!
The only Abba song with Benny on vocal lead. It has a very folk rock sound to it like something from The Byrds.
Love this song! Also, “Hey, Hey, Helen”. Love the beat on that one!
They sound superb on this...it is fast paced and disco sound...when they make backing vocals...it is Magic..two ladies are pitch perfect...😁😀🤩💛💖💙
ABBA and The Carpenters are at the top of my list!
same here
Also, Dream World. Brilliant intro! 😃
I always thought this was one of ABBA’s most underrated songs! Right with If It Wasn’t for the Night. And I’ve always thought this song sounded like a song that should play in a fight scene.
I love this song it is very catchy and could have been an album track. Off my favourite album super trouper. Great harmonies and great vocals
Don't forget to do Just Like That. And if you do Lovelight, watch out for that dirty ceiling.
Ooh Lovelight! That’s the other one I forgot to mention. You are so right! Now, when you say Just Like That, do you mean Gemini’s version or do you mean the Abba demo? As far as I know, they never completed it themselves and gave it to Gemini. I wish they had, because it’s a great song.
That’s me- Dereck please!
'My love my life' is another brilliant track
You have to listen to My Love My Life by ABBA! You’ll be in heaven
" TIGER " ..... next please
Omg! Yessss! He should definitely react to Tiger! Brilliant song! 😃
@@christinasibley2791 touche... and the video is really cool too
Elaine was one of the first 5 songs completed for the Super Trouper album but it fell out of favour with the group as other songs were developed for the new album, hence only getting a B-side of The Winner Takes It All single release. Lyrically its pretty ambiguous and seems to deal with dark issues that would be focused on even more a year later when ABBA recorded The Visitors album. As a fan back them, it was a huge buzz flipping The Winner Takes It All single and getting a song with a completely different feel....although when The Winner was released in August 1980, nobody knew this wouldn't be on the LP released later in the year. Now, you have to listen to Our Last Summer from the Super Trouper album purleeeeeeze
It tooootally sounds like it could be on The Visitors
Love seeing your reaction to this. Elaine is NOT messing about is she! There's a reason this B-Side is a fan favourite!
Dereck, fantastic your feeling!
under one minute to aprove !
Really is a great song to a B-side
but un the A-side is the fantastic
"The winner takes it all"
At the end of the video, for next reactions, You say:
I wonder
I'm a marionette
and I added
Thank you for the music
This three songs was part of a little musical called
"The Girl with the Golden Hair"
that ABBA perform in the
Europe/Australia Tour 1977
and are in "ABBA The Album"
And remembering, today in 1977,
ABBA first Concert in Australia, under the rain and wind
begining with "Tiger"
GOD bless you and stay safe
My best regards from Argentina
This is one of my very favourite songs .. not just by ABBA, but by anyone ! .. So glad you really enjoyed it too, Dereck .. I've played this reaction many, many times already, and love it when you give out your ultra-early "DR Approved" and then laugh about it in amazement at how good it is .. Great stuff ! .. Wayne
Fabulous 🥰🥰🥰
Would love to hear your thoughts on “My Love, My Life” and “Gonna Sing you my Love Song”
Please do a reaction to these ABBA songs 'Nina Pretty Ballerina', 'Dream World' & 'What About Livingstone'
Dream world is a truly gem 😍
@@emmanuelernandez7067 Dream World is my favourite ABBA song
Dance while the music still goes on
If you like more Eurovision Song Contest Stuff: There is a german star, Lena, who took part in the competion in 2010 with "Satellite" and in 2011 with "Taken By A Stranger".
THIS IS MY FAVE B SIDE FROM ABBA. SHOULD'VE BEEN RELEASED AS AN A SIDE SINGLE. IT WOULD'VE BEEN MASSIVE. AS WELL AS KISSES OF FIRE. LOOOOOOVE ABBA 💘💘💘💘
you will go nuts! for another B-side hidden gem - "You Owe Me One" (the flip-side to the single Under Attack), from the post-TheVisitors 1982 studio sessions :-) xx
Yep. In 1980 I had the 45 of the winner takes it all and that was a masterpiece. This gem was on the b side. I wore both sides out!
Dereck, try Summer night city live at Wembley it's fantastic! Or maybe you could try Our last summer (in which Frida slay)
Always fun nowdays to see how long on each ABBA track will it take for a "Dereck Approves" to come in..... 8-) Still looking forward to seeing his face when One Last Summer comes on 8-)
#Our Last Summer
Whoops... Our.... apologies
See, we all knew you’d love this one too!
So glad you finally availed yourself of it.
When those drums come in on the intro, it makes me bounce! 😂
I’m a Marionette, I wonder, I’ve been waiting for you, My Love My Life, King Kong Song ( my favourite part is the scream! 😂 I bet you’re intrigued now!😂)
You’ll have to tell us whether that was a faster ‘ Dereck Approved’ than Sombrero.
Oh I almost forgot He Is Your Brother 😃👍
Princess Anne-Frid Synni of Reuss, Countess of Plauen.
I do I do I do I do I do is so perfect, also another great one is Happy Hawaii
This remains I'am The City. Same style with synths. So gooooood.
Thx for the nice reaction again
Maybe you can try some of their early songs like "so long" another energy-song
YOU MADE MY DAY Derek!! 😄
Finally you got to this brilliant one! I’d been waiting for so long. Thank you so much!
I totally agree to your reaction and ‚Derek approved‘ 😊🤩😊
May first time listening to ELAINE I felt goosebumps 🥰 One of their best songs!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Funny thing about ABBA is even if the song is just ok when you listen to it later on, you’ll begin to like it better than the first time you heard it. The vocoder is usually applied to Agnetha’s voice.
Thank you, thank you!!! You've almost run out of late era ABBA but there are many great early era songs to react to - "Another Town, Another Train", "Tiger" and of course "Rock Me"!!! xxx
"Another Town, Another Train", "Nina, Pretty Ballerina", "He Is Your Brother", "Ring Ring" and "Rock 'N Roll Band" are 5 great tracks on their first Album...."Disillusion" is good too.
I first heard “Elaine” when I bought “The Winner Takes it All” single and it was the B side. At that time the lyrics simply weren’t available to the public and being a B side there was no inner sleeve to go long with it either. Instead of “Its a dead end street” I always thought they were singing “it’s a man’s dream....to tie your hands and tie your feet”, so for a good 30 years I always considered it the Bondage Song. Ahh......good times.......As far as the lyrical story I just thought it probably represented a woman in the workplace being stepped over and taken advantage of. The workplace had already been the lyrical subject of ABBA with “If it Wasn’t For the Nights” and continued to be a topic of interest all the way up to “The Day Before You Came”. As for the vocoder, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that was just the girls singing that way.....I mean, they did it on “Does Your Mother Know” as well as “Hole in you Soul”, but on the other hand they did process their voices on “freak” in “Me and I” and the pre chorus de-glissando in “Lay All Your Love on Me” which was recorded around the same time, so I guess it could go either way.....but I would still place my money on it being the girls rather than a machine. An earlier song in a vaguely similar vein is “That’s Me”.....the similarities being the third voice and percolating synths. Check it out!
I'm inclined to agree. It was the ladies' voices I think, Agnetha and Frida worked incredibly hard, and also, some of those vocal ideas came from them.
That’s Me is a stunning song!
5 NEW ABBA songs in the works. Pandemic delayed the release.
Yes! Another great reaction! Please go for I wonder (live version) next. You wont be disapointed!
Well done Dereck - an interesting perspective on this song. Love it.
Can you believe this was only a B side. When I was a kid I used to play this on the juke box at my local swimming pool cafe as it was the only place I could hear it.
That was a bit quick. OK. Imagine how you will like So Long. You will flip when you do it.
Or Rock Me where Bjorn takes lead
I love both of these songs! Great choices! 😃
Yes! Derrick check out this clip of So Long - it's a Glam Rock orgasm!! haha czcams.com/video/Ecnz0VL4y4k/video.html
You must do Tropical Loveland! Kind of a different ABBA song but really good 👍🏻
Thank you for the music too!
Dreamworld is similar. :)
jajajajajajajajajajajajaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! I was sure that Elaine will deserve an inmediate approval by Dereck!!!
This should have been A side. Dancing Queen of 1980
Have you reacted to the Carpenters songs "Touch Me When We're Dancing", "Because We are in Love", or their cover of The Beatles' "Ticket to Ride"?
Please react to Just Like That! It’s an incomplete song. ABBA must have a full complete version. I wonder.
Listen to Cassandra or I am the city they are fantastic 😊. Frida sings her heart out on Cassandra and it’s a fantastic song to singalong to they performed it on a tv show
Exelent video...saludos desde los Angeles California
..
Thank you for reacting to this son, a hidden gem indeed. ;) Check out Abba You owe me one, it's nothing like the other Abba songs and I'm curious what you will say :)
Greetings from Oz, Dereck 👋😃🐨
I agree with the "song-a-long" quality ...it always makes me think of doing sing-a-longs in a car with friends on a sunny day 😊💞
I've always thought that the lyrics were inspired by the old silent black-&-white vaudevillian movies where there's a 'damsel-in-distress', being tied-up to a train-line by an evil man who wants her but she doesn't want him. There was also a cartoon-series in the late-60s/early-70s called 'The Perils of Penelope Pitstop', which was sort-of a homage to those old movies, and I think the baddie was called Snidley Whiplash (and his dog was called Mutley).
Thanks for reviewing this song, and I'm so glad you love it.
By the way, what does "106" mean? ...I'm sure thats what you said earlier, and you said it twice.
Cheers.
4:10 - 4:15 sounds like it was used again and built upon in I Am The City
Interesting! Even if I’m from ABBA-land I wasn’t familiar to this b-side hit. Though I think it’s a good one. Also get the vibes of Summernight City. This is really worth listening to again and for sure several more times. Good choise for a reaction video.
It's funny, I remember listening to this B side from an unknown neighbor at my grandmother's. He or she played it like in loop and very loud. I had the Super Trouper album and it wasn't in... it's on their name, they do fantastic A and B sides when this mattered... another great and entertaining reaction well done boy! And oh try I'm a marionette both studio and live (a comparison) ✌🏻
The lyrics seem to refer to the situation of a celebrity ...in a goldfish bowl, always used as s metaphor for living in the public eye... hands and feet are tied, on a dead end street, they can’t go anywhere because of the fans...the street to fame is narrow, and you can’t escape once you’re on it...
Hi Dereck! Please, react to one of their early one "Ring Ring"
Wonderful song! Now it’s time to top it off with Thank You For the Music 😁
the secret of the ABBA sound was that they dubbed the (female) voices up to 8 times so the harmony sounds like a little choir. In this song they dubbed Agneta and Annifrid's voices double at some points in the song. When they were live they always had background vocals to add the full sound. Thanks for posting!
I’m amazed at how many of the greatest songs were B sides and never made it onto their respective albums from the session!
Highly recommended live version of Does Your Mother Know and Hole in Your Soul from Wembley 1979
great reaction. try listening to dance while the music still goes on (w/several key changes) and the unreleased gem just like that *matt pop mix- he completed a full version of this song. so well done.
Thanks, Dereck!!👋👌
Yay you finally got round to it, I’m a Marionette at some stage please
I guess their weakest stuff was from the first couple of albums but even there almost every song is pleasant, melodic, catchy etc...They were still finding their footing on the Ring Ring and Waterloo albums and had more of a grab bag of styles: glam rock, folk, calypso, pop, jazz, etc...
Nobody harmonises like Frida and Agnetha and the third voice when they sing together you can’t tell the difference
I’m a big Abba fan but I have never heard this song before and was potty trained to Money Money Money! 😂😂😂
Dreamworld and You owe me one! Thanks 🙂
Just so you know Derek it’s your channel you could do a double approved. 😃
I love how that song injects you with a lot of energy, it has a running pace that goes amazingly with the dark lyrics that show desperation.
You have surely come a long way Dereck, and I just really enjoy your ABBA reactions
Great choices! And I agree about Eagle. I was so disappointed when it wasn’t the full version that Dereck played 😃 I hope he will give it another go.
Fantastic indeed, I would also suggest: Malcolm McLaren - Waltz Darling
Please do this again ❤️
The day before you came is worth a review too
Other ABBA tracks worthy of .. a Dereck reacts...Dance while the music still goes on, what about Livingston, I've been waiting for you, that's me , tiger, I'm a marionette, dum dum diddle, my love my life ...are some overlooked gems..as ever, a pleasure Dereck..😀
"Gonna Sing You My Lovesong" and "My Mama Said" two very different songs, both standouts from 'Waterloo'
That's Me, with its Stephen King's Carrie reference is great too.
I still have this 45
