Lyrics:
I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
baby by myself
I sit and wait and wonder about you
it’s a dark and dreary night
seems like nothing’s going right
won’t you tell me honey
how can I go on here without you
yes, I’m down and feeling blue
and I don’t know what to do, oh-oh
Ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
ring, ring
the happiest sound of them all
ring, ring
I stare at the phone on the wall
and I sit all alone impatiently
won’t you please understand the need in me
so, ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
so, ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
You were here and now you’re gone
hey did I do something wrong
I just can’t believe that I could be
so badly mistaken
was it me or was it you
tell me, are we really through
won’t you hear me cry
and you will know that my heart is breaking
please forgive and then forget
or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
Ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
ring, ring
the happiest sound of them all
ring, ring
I stare at the phone on the wall
and I sit all alone impatiently
won’t you please understand the need in me
so, ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
so, ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
(Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Stig Anderson, Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody)

#ABBA - Hudba
Almost 50 years ago and never ever gets old. Abba forever
What do you mean?
@@lafbaguett6138 its from 73.. Another 4 years and this song is 50 years old.. I was born in 69 i grew up with Abba ❤️
ha ha
Really really love their early tunes....Greatest Hits volume 1 was amazing....captured many many fans...me for one ,,,😊💛💙👍
Yes
The way Benny is looking at Frida. So cute. 💖💖
No auto tune, no computerized effects, pure singing, pure music. I loved Abba, I'm loving Abba, and I'll love Abba forever.❤❤❤
Oh there are definitely computerised effects, just cleverly done to not sound artificial.
Happy 50th Anniversary! Ring Ring came out on February 14th, 1973. Just WOW. ❤️🇸🇪
Oh God
Ingatan anda kuat sekali, padahal udah lama sekali, 50th yang lalu, wow keren
I was 6. My Son is 7 today. We listening to ABBA.
Feb 14, thats my birth date!
Wow I love this song
People say , what was it about ABBA. It was primarily the killer harmonies of these two girls , two voices so completely suited , and superb songwriting . Genius
Its also superb that ABBA and their manager Stig "Stickan " Andersson ( the fifth ABBA member ) were working with Lasse Hallström and making music videos Before MTV.
They sure are amazing
Thx Neil. Explain how can we sustain civilisation for next decade. I need your analysis.
@@janezjonsa3165 your amazing sarcasm- it made me really laugh! Greetings from Germany
And the fact that the girls were drop dead gorgeous didn’t hurt
My favorite Abba song of all. The lyrics are so good
Lyrics by Neil Sedaka!
This was the first title I have heard from this group.
All I know is that Abba has been and always will be my favorite band forever
AMÉN !!!
I don't think I have ever seen someone as beautiful as Agnetha, especially in this video!!!!
Sweden's greatest gift to the world....
Everyone's greatest band
Other than their chocolate
Koenigsegg too
yes, but the abandoned Sweden because they wanted to keep more money and not pay the Socialist confiscatory taxes
@@absolutelyfookinnobody2843 Chocolate? Are you confusing Schweiz with Sweden?
we don't give enough credit to how amazing benny is at piano.
Arty - Mis Massive credit then to the amazing piano with the Benny attachment!
Benny is a master at the piano 🎹!!! Always loved him and still do!
He's a great penised
@@kemp10 I'm hoping you're actually meaning 'pianist'.
@@chrisaskin6144 no, kemp10 doesn't!
*This* *is* *not* *song* *.*
*This* *is* *timeless* *masterpiece* *.*
Yes, but it's still a song.
I agree! I LOVE this song!!
1973
50 years of gorgeousness!!
Benny’s smile at 1:04 is the absolute cutest. And the way he looks at Frida throughout the video is adorable
They all loved each other and were so happy to see the loves of their life performing next to them
1973
Yesss adorable indeed ! ❤❤
50 years old and still fantastic! That is QUALITY!
In the 80s and 90s I thought 30s and 40s music was a bore (and still largely do), but our kids love ABBA as much as we still do.
That is the BEST!
What quality ! Abba forever !
ABBA's most underrated hit.
Happy 50th anniversary of Ring Ring ABBA.
Thank you for the music!!!
I love Abba
"Ring, Ring" was a Hit in Belgium in
the summer of 1973. I became a
Fan and I still am.
"Which Abba song is your favorite?"
Yes
Waterloo
@@kiriInvestigator4597 Hi Tekaai .Dancing Queen for me..Kind regards Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🌷🌷🌷🌷🤝🤗
Very true.
S.O.S.
Hmmmm I think mama mia
They were young, beautiful, talented, sang in English. On top of that, the songs were a killer. Beautifully crafted by those men, beautifully sung by the girls. The killer harmonies. All in one package! No wonder why they succeded.
What a voices Agnetha and Frida .
The biggest living legend of pop music .
The high school music band of all times .
Who is listenning the greatest ABBA classics masterpieces in March 2.024 ??? 💎👌
My ears feel blessed with the heavenly ABBA music , fantastic songs and the magic angelic voices .
VERY NICE !!!
Love their dialling action in the dance routine. Do you remember when phones had dials?
There will never be another Abba thank you for the music
I agree to that absolutely.
Hahaha...and listening to the next ABBA song
it is revival!!!
Never ever !
How true pity Anna has gone but I just heard their back irs a shame they split but look at 2 days society for some reason they all seem to split so sad really as wen things go wrong people seem Ta have buggar it attitude no one wants to work at things these days oh well as they say that's life
ABBA!!!! My adorable band. Congratulations 50 years of Ring Ring.
The greatest pop group of all time. I totally love ABBA and won't take any other above them. Thank you for being amazing and for all the beautiful songs and memories you bring.
I could not agree more. For me, ABBA is still the perfect Group.
QUEEN is typing...
@@samosamo232 k😅
@@samosamo232 Queen aint pop, its rock.
@@geethavenugopal126 they are music. It doesn't matter what music genre they are stuck into.
Zwei wunderschöne Frauen mit hervorragenden Stimmen. Einfach perfekt.
*This music will still be heard in 1000 years !!!*
It never gets old......
1973
Oh yes even in 4000yes ABBA will live on. Awesome!!!!
So trueee
For eternity their music will still be heard
I know the guys were masters at their craft but let's face it the girls were absolutely mesmerising in every way shape or form that's not likely to be seen ever again
#abba #dontshutmedown cover: czcams.com/video/2gLHa1X0fa0/video.html
The guys know this i am sure
1973
The songwriting is out of this world! Benny and Björn really knew how to use call and response, sequences, harmonies, chromaticism, secondary dominants, syncopation, modulations, and dynamics to make incomparable songs.
I heard that ABBA was offered 1 billion dollars to tour one last time
@@James-bw7rk YES BUT THEY MADE FILMS AND MUSICALS INSTEAD
Bjorns guitar 🤣
@@James-bw7rk Yes, and as I recall, when ABBA declined, A*Teens, who'd recently released an album of ABBA covers, offered to fill in for ABBA for half the price! They were only half serious, though.😆
So many cool details in this video: Anni-Frid's amazing snakeskin outfit with matching platform boots is insane, Bjorn is playing the legendary "star" guitar, and wearing a cape (!) and most likely there is Ola Brunkert on the drums and Rutger Gunnarsson on bass. Benny always looks like he's having too much fun, and does his costume include some monstrous feather? And Agnetha's mirrored outfit with little red flares over her boots is totally 1970s. This whole video is so over-the-top it's perfect!
Don't think that's Mr, Gunnarsson on the Ric.
Great comment! What a band! Shiny, radiant, beautiful and talented bunch. Can't take my eyes off each one of them. So much joy compressed in a few minutes.
Actually this is the first song that make me idolize them :)
And what about the guy playing guitar on the left? Lasse Wellander, right? Or Janne Schaffer?
ABBA, the greatest band in the history of bands. Every one of their songs stirred and stirs the emotions, and it doesn't matter if you speak the language or not, the listener knows the gist of the song...simply watch the girls and you know what the song is all about.
ABBA , through the years, proved to be something special, aside from their ingenious musical brilliance. The reason I see ABBA as extra special is because, despite their traumatic love life, each of the four loved the other three...and I believe that love holds true to this day, 2021.
Agreed on your comments. Many of their songs came from the struggles of the relationship issues. Comparable to the Fleetwood Mac saga as well
@@twosuns2504 Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes, Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks singing Poe's Annabel Lee tears me apart...great song by another fabulous singer. Yes, ABBA was and is, I'd say, the greatest band in musical history.
@@janettgrady2394 hi Janette. I just listened to that song,it is pretty. Honestly though Stevie's voice went south in the 90s unfortunately. Her 70s and 80s is when she rocked but don't get me wrong,she's one of the most talented artist going. Agnetha blows her away with her amazing range. Not the writer as Stevie is. I love ABBA,love Mac so I won't say one is better than the other, just completely different styles.
A folk band more than pop or rock...that's their base
Lagu lagunya membuat orang ceria dan riang gembira yuk kita Berteman saya dari Indonesia🇮🇩🇮🇩
Best female duo ever.
Best Swedish Quad ever.
Best pop group ever.
No doubt
my teenage days are gone those were the good old days I wish I could turn back the time
Agnetha you are perfection in every way
Killer hooks, great melodies, thank you ABBA for the journey that will never end. Great harmonies and superb arrangements.
Lagu yang selalu menggembirakan orang, asyik banget keren👌👌
@@pipitherawati336 yes Peopel so Happy ....and ABBA so Happy for "aallll Time "❤
Amen to that true Statement Bro! They are just Genius!!❤️
agnetha stole my heart ♡
Those women are incredible!
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE ABBA. 58 Y OLD IN
N.Z.
BEST BAND OF ALL TIME!❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
ABBA FOR EVER!!!!
One of the great 'pop' songs of the 1970's, if not of all time.
ABBA forever!
Please, i want to go back to this era, of time
These were not just pop songs; they were so much more sophisticated than that. I wonder whether people really appreciate how actually classically savvy these musical compositions were. The two boys were brilliant song writers, and the girls were great singers in addition to being both very attractive. geez man, everything was there. Unforgettable group, whose great music has stood the test of time.
Never to be equaled. So much talent from all four of the. A perfect mix of talent , good looks, and personalities.
@@chrisheath481 I do not sing, I do not play any musical instruments. I cannot read music or understand musical composition. I therefore had trouble understanding your response when you mentioned chords and bass. However, I do have a very perceptive ear to what sounds good, average, bad, or... .... brilliant . Abba's musical arrangements were definitely in another class when compared to general so called "pop music ". This Swedish group were very very good.
I had no idea at all who Miles Davis was, or is, however because you mentioned him, I looked for his name on CZcams hoping to find a video of him and his music.
He sounds like a jazz player, please correct me if I'm wrong. I must admit I quite liked what I heard.
You also have to acknowledge that the band was supported by some incredible "behind the scenes" support. Michael B. Tretow was an incredible Sound Engineer and Producer. The bands studio musicians including Roger Palm and Ola Brunkert (Drums), Rutger Gunnerson ( Bass), Janne Schaffer and Lasse Wallender were simply brilliant and contributed greatly to the ABBA sound. And the band's manager Stig Andersson was also a great positive influence.
@@karmicselling4252 Oh wow. Thank you so much for your most informative reply, because you have just validated what I have wondered about for years. I know nothing about music, nor for the most part could I even name and identify most musical instrument. I just remember thinking how such sophisticated sounds can come from just 2 instruments, Bjorn on guitar, and Benny on piano or organ. You could hear so many different sounds, and so well arranged, I wondered if there were others involved "behind the scenes" as you put it , that we never saw performing with Abba on our Television sets. So many people, family, friends, have said no, no, it was just the four of them. Well, when I would listen to the music itself without the lyrics there was no way that was all coming from just two instruments.
Thank you again I appreciated your response very very much.
You have a good day. I hope I made sense in my response to you.
People back then weren't anywhere near as dumbed down and indoctrinated as they are now, makes sense that the current popular music absolutely sucks in comparison.
The greatest Pop band of all times.
1980- THIS song is amazing
2019-this song is awasome
3333- THIS song is amazing
Exactly
Old age is the curse
This track is from 1973, but the clip was made in 1974. My first favorite Abba track! :)
Jan, you have forgotten the year 123.456 !!!
This song is DIAMONDD
Die Freude strahlt aus den Augen der 4 von Abba....😊❤🌹
Ayant 77 ans,le groupe Abba avec Frida & Agheta est mon groupe préféré Suédois😊❤🎤🎸🇸🇪
ABBA - greatest pop band ever!
How could anybody not like this band. Seriously awesome, good looking and talented humans
So nobody's going to talk about how cute their little choreography is?🤧
Some journalist once called the choreographies of Agnetha and Frida a form of "extravagant walking". He forgot to add: "very cute" extravagant walking.
well i'd bang Frida into next wheeeek
@@bubbelhubbel6084 u sure he said walking!
for real! like when they shake their head on the ”the need in me” I just love them
Awwwhhhhhh ...
Abba the best Group of the World!!!!❤❤❤❤
Everyone entitled to their opinion
The blonde has always been so beautiful. Love this band!
BEAUTIFUL MAN JUST BEAUTIFUL MESMERIZING MAGIC
Hahaha! Check those outfits! LOL! So 70's. 53 years ago and this song STILL POPULAR and PLAYING! No one can BEAT ABBA! NO ONE! Words SO SIMPLE. But SO CATCHY!
In 10 days this song / album will celebrate its golden anniversary 🎉❤. 50 years ABBA - still sounds great.
Abba - Bringing so much joy to millions for almost 50 years.
Every single song a hit. Incredible.

So true. I love this song also and the outfits!!!
They all look to be having so much fun in the video
Abbas early songs are a tonic in this day and age. They really lift my spirits when either I just listen or sing along. Love their early stuff. Just brilliant.
Amazing ! Beautiful ! Bold ! Astonishing ! ABBA !!! Forever !!!
THIS NEED A 4K REMASTER, IT WAS FILMED IN THE SAME PLACE THAT WATERLOO AND WATERLOO IS IN 4K ALREADY
Nah....no one cares.....
Mate, you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
ABBA's music is like a time machine
Look at Agnetha O M G 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Who's watching this and becoming happy during quarantine??
I was watching this and being happy long before quarantine.
Meeeee toooooo
Paul Kostka Me..June 2020 my favorite groupe ever...
Meeeee!!
@@johanamedinaruiz9235 yep. I came to know about them through Mamma Mia musical
What a marvellous group. Abba has got to be the best Swedish pop group of all times. I am 68 and find I love dancing around the house just listening to this music. They are all so full of life . My happy handsome husband and I live in Melbourne, Victoria Australia and I remember buying tapes when I was in my twenties.
You could drop the word Swedish from the 2nd line and you'd not get too many arguments.
Let’s face it: they had it all. Good looks, fantastic songs, incredible talent.
I am so Grateful that ABBA spent the time to write all their biggest songs in English. And put the lyrics together to make sense to an English speaking audience. It couldn't have been easy to work out how to write lyrics that made sense to what is, a largely foreign audience, especially when English is not your first language. I think we can easily forget that when we listen to their songs.
Bravo ABBA, och 'Tack för Musiken' 🇬🇧 ❤ 🇸🇪
Yeah it's amazing how they sing this in English perfectly ignoring the prenoucation of Waterloo
@@joeduckburyofjoeducania4587 They were spot on.
LOVE ABBA MUSIC
Forget taking anti-depressants! ABBA, is my anti-depressant!
you can say that again . They are the best NO DOUBT
They just immediately make me happy once I hear this!!!
Ring ring, the happiest sound of them all! 🥟🎶
Amen to that true statement! Just Love em' ! 👍❤
I’m with you on that one my friend
Happy 50th anniversary to ABBA's debut album - the one that started it all...!🎉
There is no ABBA´ song that I wouldn´t like
Agnetha definitely awakened something in me in this video. Lol. She's so beautiful.
The girls of ABBA were just the greatest
I set this at my ringtone
and somehow no matter how many times I hear their songs they just never get tired...unbelievable that this is 50 year old- I remember vividly seeing and hearing them for the first time on TV with this song - I was captured instantly
This video gives me much joy and clearly illustrates what a class act Abba were.
Never be another band like ABBA
2:01 I love in so many of their videos the camera will randomly cut to Benny having an absolute blast in the corner by his piano. It’s really funny but also super sweet
Happy 51th anniversary "Ring, Ring"! ❤
A great masterpiece of music. Just WONDERFUL!!
ABBA are legends in the 90's people put them down they came out in 1972 it's 2017 45 years later people are still buying and listening to their music ABBA music will be around for a very long time it won't surprise me if in 2072 people will still be listening to ABBA .
2072?Yes,I'll still be listening-and loving.
Simon Clark Pienso como usted muy a pesar que cuando fui joven le restaba importancia al grupo y para mi solo existía Agnetha Hoy que a pasado tanto tiempo debo reconocer que los cuatro fueron unos genios y que la belleza y talento de ella fue insuperable y que la música de ABBA nunca tendrá un final. 8/7/2018 Bs. As. argentina.
Simon, in July 2018 Rolling Stone reported that worldwide, ABBA is the #7 selling act. They have not released an album since 1979 nor performed on a stage of any kind together (concert, TV show, etc) since 1982. Their sales have been increasing over the past 15 years. Mostly outside the USA, attributed to increases in sales in Europe AND ASIA AND AFRICA. So, ABBA is one of the world's top selling acts. In 2017 they sold the equivalent of 15 million albums................this year that number is expected to be higher. Their lowest point for sales after their breakup (after 1982) was in the 1990's but then sales began to pick up when ABBA: GOLD was released. Then came Mama Mia the play, the movies, etc................which caused the beginning of the sales increase upward trend that began almost 15 years ago. This is incredible, and when you compare to the Beatles, ABBA did all this in 10 years, it makes it even more incredible. ABBA just passed Michael Jackson in worldwide all time sales in 2017..............they also passed Elvis...............now they are only behind the Beatles in sales...............ABBA is the #2 best selling musical act of all time.....................for right now. I think they will conquer #1 in a few years. I think ABBA will TOP the Beatles. Ive been to Kathmandu, Nairobi, Kingston, Buenos Aires, Zagreb, Berlin, Moscow, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Riyadh. You know what they all have in common? Every one of those cities, they love ABBA. They love ABBA in countries that are not even christian nations.

People might knock them, but they've had 2 profitable movies as well as one of the most popular Broadway shows. Not many can make that claim.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE ABBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAA
АББА- на все времена!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯🌠🌠🌠🌠👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I didn't give too much attention to this song before, so I'm reading their biography and found out it was one of their first hits. Now I'm addicted to this song! It was very successful in Australia at the time, they sent the video there because it was too far away and they couldn't go there often. Abba has been successful until now, but it was not simple, they worked a lot!!!
Mungkin anda belum lahir ketika lagu ini populer, albumnya keren banget👌👌

@@hajnalkakun7665 : This would be the year 3023. However, please consider the song by Zager and Evans: In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie…
IMO this song doesn't get the credit it deserves. I know it's nowhere near as sophisticated as their later songs, but it does have that bright, ringing harmony that Agnetha and Anni-Frid brought to every ABBA song.
I was 12 years old when this song came out wish I go back ❤
Abba songs are here to stay forever
WoW, still ringing in my ears after 40+ years, Love it.
