      @@DartJedi Me too although my favourites are still "Take a Chance on Me", "SOS" and "Chiquitita" (to remember a little female Cub Scout who made me cry with her beautiful singing - I played guitar). We thought "Chiquitita" meant "little girl" at the time (and she was). She sang "I'll shine once more like I did before" (and I have tears in my eyes now). In the spirit of "naughty" songs, we all sang "When I kissed the teacher"(!) spontaneously in my primary school class. Maybe they wouldn't play that now on the radio 🤣. I had a teenage crush on a friend who played violin so "Bang a Boomerang" means a lot to me. I love "Eagle", "I am the Tiger" and "Under Attack" as well.

      True, the guys wrote and produced the songs. But the girls had a lot of input into the vocal arrangements - and those are legendary. By the way, Agnetha was a successful songwriter in her own right, with several self penned hits in her native Sweden, before ABBA was even founded. (Frida had hits as well, but she didn’t write songs).

    Hello , so nice to see you again reaction to ABBA songs
    "Money money money" (1976)
    it is a very good song in a different musical style,
    cabaret type, set in another era
    "Money money money"
    is the single that followed
    "Dancing Queen"
    and reached # 3 in the UK,
    #1 in Australia and several European countries.
    It is a totally different song from its predecessor "Dancing Queen"
    and also from its successor "Knowing me knowing you"
    This is the versatility of ABBA,
    they go from genre to genre,
    as well as from success to success
    The song lends itself very well to the brunette Frida's lower voice,
    the choruses are sharper in contrast (and very catchy)
    The instrumentation is excellent
    The official video is one of ABBA's best, very creative,
    it shows Them in fashion situations and also with their famous kimonos
    But a few months before ABBA premieres
    the new official lyric video of "Money money money"
    I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs
    My best regards to You from
    Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
    South America

    As of right now, I have 23 favorite bands.
    It takes a very long time before I am 100% sure that a band is one of my favorites, often decades.
    ABBA is one of my favorite bands.

    Was never really an ABBA fan until I saw Mama Mia on Broadway. After that, I became a fan. Money Money Money was probably my favorite song in the play. Thanks for reacting

    Theatrical and brilliant from Abba. The song The Day Before You Came next from Abba guys..if only for Frida's siren song on backing vocals .. You will be blown away.😮

    Good reaction! This is one of many great songs by ABBA, and it's good to see Anni-Frid at the forefront of this one, as it's usually Agnetha's vocals up front.
    Ironically, Anni-Frid did indeed get her "a wealthy man" - she married a Swiss prince, although sadly he died in 1999 but they had 7 years together. She's now with a British aristocrat, so she's obviously got a taste for the good living now! 😄

      Frida and Agnetha both have the same amount of lead songs (25). Don't know where you got the information that it's usually Agnetha...

    Love it! So many memories , so many great songs. Can't wait til you do Waterloo, and Dancing Queen (and at some point do Muriel's Wedding on the movie channel). Not seen anyone mention it, but I've always had a soft spot for The Name of The Game. Think the riff was used in a rap song later?

    This song was my introduction to ABBA back in the mid-70’s and I still remember being a young teen bouncing around the living room singing with Frida. You NEED to listen to “Waterloo”! They won the Eurovision contest singing that song and it launched them. Also, about their videos…they were in the very early wave of singers producing music videos. Agnetha especially hated to leave her children for tours and they decided to produce the videos so that their fans could see them perform.

    Thank you both for spreading so much happiness and love! I think as parents of young children you may enjoy and relate to ABBA’s Slipping through My Fingers. It wasn’t a big hit for them but anyone who has experienced parenthood can certainly relate to the song.

  • @Flatwoodsdad
    @Flatwoodsdad Před 11 měsíci +5

    Today Frida's official title is - Princess Anni-Frid Reuss, Dowager Countess of Plauen. The thing about ABBA is they took a swing at about every genre of music out there. And they polished that genre with ABBA perfection. I think thats why so many musicians have such respect for them.

  • @russyish
    @russyish Před 11 měsíci +3

    My favourite group of all time. Knowing Me Knowing is brilliant. So is Eagle (long version), Name of the Game, Fernando, Waterloo, Super Trouper, One of Us. If you want disco ABBA, then Voulez Vous, Summer Night City or Lay All Your Love On Me.

  • @thebeardedseeker5633

    You really can't go wrong with ABBA. If you like Frida's voice try her solo venture that came out in the early 80s called "I Know There's Something Going On". Phil Collins plays the drums on that. And the drums are very prominent, in a good way.

    Some years back, the British band Erasure did some quality Abba covers and released them on an EP called Abba-esque and then shortly after an Australian Abba tribute band called Bjorn Again, styled themselves on Abba and did some Erasure covers and called the EP, Erasure-ish. Bjorn Again are still going and currently touring the UK.

  • @shayneerwin2809
    @shayneerwin2809 Před 11 měsíci +1

    One of ABBA's lesser known song, but probably one of their finest is "Eagle" - there is a short version and a long version. You can't go wrong with either version!

  • @jaraa1963

  • @hellokimmy68
    @hellokimmy68 Před 11 měsíci +6

    This is from their "Arrival" album, which was one of my favorites. If you'd like to check out Bjorn singing lead, check out "Why Did It Have To Be Me", with the ladies singing backup and on the chorus.
    "Voulez Vous" is an absolute BANGER that you have to check out and for a moody, slower piece, "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is so deep and amazing.

    You should do a reaction on Mama Mia the movie. It has all their songs that are preformed by Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Amanda Sevfried, Colin Firth, Christine Baranski, Stellan Skarsgard, and Julie Walters. You will love the movie, and you will have to do the reaction to the second movie: Mama Mia: Here We Go Again with the same cast and with Cher, Andy Garcia and Lily James.

  • @KenOtwell
    @KenOtwell Před 11 měsíci +2

    Now you should watch the movie, "Mama Mia" which is a musical that uses all ABBA songs to create a narrative. It was a big hit on stage (we saw it in London) and then they made a movie out of it. You'll eat it up!

  • @jef444

  • @shellygill5029
    @shellygill5029 Před 11 měsíci +40

    ABBA has such great and different songs. You have to watch the movies #1 "Mama Mia" and the sequel #2 "Mama Mia Here We Go Again". All of ABBA's songs are skillfully intertwined into these 2 movies. And "Fernando" is sung by Cher in the 2nd. Movie. Also, watch the out takes at the end of each movie.
    All of us who are ABBA fans would enjoy seeing you react to these movies.

    Anni-Frid Lyngstad who is singing lead had a hit in the 80s. Her song "I Know There's Something Going On" (lookup "Frida" on CZcams) is definitely worth a listen... typical 80s song

    One thing that makes ABBA great is the theatricality of their music. This one for example, both the song AND video, have a "soundtrack" kind of storytelling quality, as if they're from a movie (or as if the video itself IS the movie). Unlike songwriters for whom everything is autobiographical, ABBA is never afraid to be storybook, fairy tale, or cinematic in their approach. Love them, and love this review! If you're into deep tracks, check out their early song "So Long"---it's the opposite of this, thematically ("So long! See ya honey, can't buy me with your money!")

    • @michelemercier2286
      @michelemercier2286 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Funny. I've never considered that before, but yes, So Long does have the "opposite" theme. (They say that money's got the magic touch, but not to me it doesn't mean that much). And a great song as well.
