#ABBA #Voulez-Vous #reaction - Hudba
never heard ABBA - definitive proof he's not from this planet
I already taught my son in Kindergarden time: nobody knows everything - as some kids said about the fathers (when the fathers were their heroes - probably 'til the age of 10 ) .... the same with music, nobody knows all the music in the world, not even Mr youtube or Mr Spotify
@@rudolfbecker4313 of course not but we are talking Abba. Abba Gold has been a smash the world over for years as have the Mama Mia films.
@@mickyboy7586 You forget when our 2 sweethearts are born, Alexia just turned 30 and Nick is a little older, AbbaMania was over by then. I've never been an Abba fan, but of course I heard them all the time on radio in the 70s/early 80s; but once I stopped listening to public radio, Abba was gone. I've never seen the Mama Mia film, I know of the musical here in Germany, but that's it. Try to judge from other people's view, not your own, it helps to understand a lot, listen to an old man 🙂
@@rudolfbecker4313 sadly I am a older man lol. I'm not being critical of anyone but I would have thought that a thirty year old would definitely know a bit about Abba. The Gold album has been in the charts all over the world on & off for years and the Mama Mia films both smash hits world wide (although not to my taste). There is also the Cher album of Abba hits recently released as well as other artists who have covered their songs and also Muriel's Wedding. I accept that some people may not be up on Abba but to not have any knowledge of them then they must have been walking around with their eyes and ears closed all their lives.
I am a Zeppelin fan at heart but I love ABBA. They sound like no other bands did back then or do today. Totally unique. They had a bit of progressive rock in them too, and power ballads, disco, rock, pure pop, Swedish folk-music and the shimmering golden stuff of legend. Songs like "Fernando" or my favorite of theirs "Knowing Me, Knowing You" which is clever on so many levels. (the video is bloody amazing)
This song is the most disco of anything they ever recorded .. clearly directed straight at the crowd at Studio 54. It is mostly a dance groove and lacks some of the vocal pyrotechnics they are famous for.
You need to introduce your metal head husband to some of that insane singing these girls are capable of. And good god the melodies .. these are songwriters of the highest order.
Thanks for the reaction .. and Cheers 🍺
I'm not sure how a grown man could never heard of Abba, especially someone into music, but hey, there you go.
... It's called being Pretentious (with a capital P). Probably thinks it makes him look hip, cool, etc.
I am sure I know one or two bands that you don't know. Just because I'm into music doesn't mean I listen to 70 disco pop ... sorry
Excuse me but I am from Germany and my parents are French Italian so blame them lol.
What a stupid thing to say. Stupid with a capital S
@@morningsky8045 Lol, really, who knows.... lol
Abba hid some very clever chord progressions and appreciated hooks in their pop songs . And did some innovative push and pull with the tapes to fill out the sound .. People wonder why I praise them when I'm the tattooed meat head biker fronting a punk metal band , well it's the same as the the sex pistols loved Roxy music . Everyone had their influences . I don't think I'm influenced by Abba. but I respect brilliant song writing .
Peace and love 👍🏻☮❤
They were masterful song writers and still are. Such clever chord structures, modal mixing and unexpected turnarounds. The Winner Takes It All is unbeatable. Writing songs like this is harder than any Dream Theatre song for sure.
I can't analyze music like you just did, wish I could, but I know what i like. Everything from Booker White (Bukka) to Abba, Led Zepplin, Rush, and Waylon Jennings. Good is good, genre is irrelevant. Oh, almost forgot Mozart and Tchaikovsky.
@@tomnunamaker9801
Absolutely , I am a huge fan of most of your list ..
And it's best not to analyze, just enjoy !
Peace and love Tom 👍🏻☮❤
Back in the late 70's Ritchie Blackmore no less said in interview that if you want to hear great production listen to ABBA.
i was in metal bands for years and everyone of us loved ABBA 🤘🤣
I'm 67 and this song is one my guilty pleasures from that era. Crank up the volume !
Don't, ever, feel guilty about liking something, my friend!
I refuse to believe he hasn't heard Dancing Queen 😂
or Momma Mia.
Why?
It only has 550 million plus views on CZcams!
ABSOLUTELY!
He hasn't heard of the Beatles, either. That's how cool he is.
He never heard radio.
"The Winner Takes It All" is one of the greatest breakup songs ever produced, all the more so because it was autobiographical.
Disco was such a small part of their history yet people seem to think ABBA was a Disco group. Most of their songs were not disco at all.
Most people i know that are not really hearing ABBA didn't even know their Disco songs :D Or atleast most of them not
Depends on what you mean by disco. Sure, they did everything from schlager, folk music and almost jazzy songs to funk and glam rock. But Mamma mia was kind of disco too, recorded already in 1974. And their last three albums were all pretty disco-ish in most of the songs. Not that there is nothing wrong with that though.
@@herrbonk3635 By disco, people mean disco as a genre of music. Only 10 ABBA songs as categorized as disco, out of 100. "Mamma Mia" is classified as glam rock and pop-rock. Since you don't know much about ABBA at all, please, do tell us what song from "ABBA The Visitor" is a disco song?
@@abbadocs "Categorized" and "classified" are key words here. By whom? Why exactly is that person or "documentary" correct?
I'm not interested in such attempts at formal categories, but in reality, actual musical elements. None of Abba's song are "disco" in the american subcultural sense (the belonged in a very different world), but most of the upbeat songs on the last albums are just as much "disco" as the famous "Dancing Queen" tune was. I'm talking about drum and bass work mainly, i.e. the rhythmic structure and character. (I know Abba's work pretty well actually, including some of their musicians.)
@@herrbonk3635 "I'm not interested in formal categories." Geez Louise, a song is categorized in a specific Genre because they fill a certain criterion. Then why not call every upbeat song just POP music. So... now, "The Winners Takes It All" is a disco song because YOU FEEL LIKE upbeat songs should be called disco.
After 1979, ABBA abandoned everything related to disco, "Lay All Your Love On Me" was the only holdover. ABBA moved on to pop and synth-pop. Now, ALL their synth-pop songs are apparently disco songs, hum. Why not call everything just ROCK, since you don't care about categorization AT ALL.
ALSO, "Musically, Dancing Queen is a Europop version of American disco music." Toby Creswell - music journalist, pop-culture writer, and editor of Rolling Stone.
Great choice Lex...A real guilty pleasure for us ProgRock fans!
"Voulez-vous" was an excellent song to use as an introduction. "Waterloo" is, of course, a must. My favorites are "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (a Man after Midnight)" and "Summer Night City." But as you know, there are so many. You mentioned "Dancing Queen," which was, I guess, their biggest hit, but I'd also suggest "Take a Chance on Me." For the more serious songs, well, there's "The Winner Takes It All" and "Happy New Year." Hell, just play them all.
This is my all time favorite abba song other than lay all ur love on me GREAT BAND
Benny and Bjorn were and still are masterful song writers. Just brillisnt
And now ABBA are back 2021 with a new album!!
ABBA are Fantastic. Seen the show in London 6 times. Pure brilliant pop songs.
"Take A Chance On Me" and "SOS" are pop masterpieces.
"How did you get into this band?"
Bruh ABBA are literally a contender for greatest band of all time and you're asking how she got into them???
How do you get out of this band? Never.
I have all nine ABBA albums, and 75 of their songs in my playlist.
My favorite ABBA song is The Name of the Game. Amazing arrangement and production.
Good to see young people enjoy ing my music. 50 years old!!!!!
Dancing Queen!
Other commenters have probably mentioned this already but ABBA just released two new songs, there will be an album out in November. I recommend 'Don't shut me down!' Go for it, have a listen while it's brand new :-).
An ABBA fan here . . . that is really from a different planet. How's this Earthlet never heard them?
Just heard yesterday, that ABBA are back together ! They disbanded in 1981 ! New cd too !
ABBA are trending right now since they have released their first new music in 40 years
People outside Europe don’t appreciate how big ABBA was. One year they paid more tax in Sweden than Volvo motor company, that includes the truck division (big truck supplier in Europe) and the heavy movement division, and yet, ABBA paid more tax. They were unbelievable famous from western Russia, Southern Mediterranean to the northern west, I don’t think any other group had their instant reach. Waterloo, their first hit, was #1 right across the continent.
'Dancing Queen', 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!', 'SOS', 'Eagle', 'The Name of the Game' are my favorites. Try to find longer versions of the songs, they usually include additional cool instrumentals.
music channel, and he is coming out with this...unbelievable !!
I love Abba and I haven't heard this one yet. I guess you didn't know he hadn't heard any Abba. Please play the ones like Move On, SOS, Knowing me Knowing you. Chiquitita, Waterloo, Take a Chance and so much more. 😎
I would like to suggest three tracks from their album called, 'The Visitors' :
1) The Visitors
2) Slipping through my fingers
3) The day before you came
All three demonstrate their ability to pen well-crafted and thoughtful songs.
Best regards.
Will heartily second this!
"The day before you came" wasn't on the original "The Visitors" album but single only. Was include on later (CD) album issues as a bonus song tho, together with e.g. "Under Attack" (the last ABBA single before the hiatus, originally off-album, too)
Love this one from that crazy, super-pop group back in the 70s! Never a huge fan, but still... bought those expensive tics to Mama Mia ! Not disappointed !!
Nice. One of the best pop bands ever.
Best pop music ever!! Huge in Australia where they took off in the 70s.
The note choice in the voices sometimes going down created a sense of mistery and melacholie, they just had and have it! love how you guys show such a calm energy and respect
Hi, Well ABBA have been on the news here in England only last week. Apart from reforming after over 40 years they have made a new album and have spent a long time recording a special live concert to be shown next year. They used cgi motion capture so when you see them live on stage, they will be young again. The clips shown of the concert is amazing looking at their avatars. It will be one of the biggest music events in decades. New album is released this year very soon I believe in November. Bought their albums on vinyl when they were originally released. Also bought their singles on 7" vinyl. My all time favourite track is called "Eagle". [ Album version ] Great reaction. I was not expecting an ABBA track, and I would definitely recommend "Eagle".
Enjoyed your reactions ! ABBA are back ! Do a couple reaction to their two new songs
Man, I still remember when Dancing Queen was all the rage. This is my first time hearing this particular song...
if You like to introduce him in ABBA songs, my suggestion is Their nine #1 in UK (+ S.O.S. & Chiquitita) in order chronologic (to see better their musical evolution):
Waterloo (at Eurovisión 1974)
S.O.S.
Mamma Mia
Fernando
Dancing Queen
Knowing me knowing you
The name of the game
Take a chance on me
Chiquitita
The winner takes it all
Super trouper
It took a decline in my appreciation of modern pop music, post Abba, to understand how good they were/are. They are currently recording a new album and touring with a virtual performance next year. Breaking new ground yet again.
If you have heard Madonna's "Hung Up", you know ABBA! (Sampled "Man After Midnight")!
What band are Madonna?
One of the best groups ever with over 400 million albums sold nd a 4 billion dollar musical worldwide ❤️
SOS is one of the greatest pop songs ever! Pretty dark if you scratch beneath the shiny surface. It would make for a great reaction.
A lot of the ABBA songs, especially from the last two albums, have a melancholy or darker touch to it.
Pete Townsend said SOS was one of the greatest pop songs ever written. This was at the time as well, not in retrospect.
@@FloatingAnarchy61 I think he's right.
ABBA is a general culture my friend
C'mon Nick....Dancing Queen? hehe
If I was going to introduce someone to ABBA I would have picked their earlier stuff.......I think that those really show what great vocalists Agnetha and Frida are. Waterloo, Fernando, The Winner Takes It All, Knowing Me Knowing You, etc. are excellent choices IMO.
One of the songs you list, The Winner Takes It All, came *after* Voulez-Vous, as did Super Trouper, Lay All Your Love on Me and One of Us. What makes ABBA fantastic is that they had hit after hit for their entire career. It really doesn't matter where you start in their journey! (As the two new songs prove).
I suggest Andante, andante, if you want to introduce Abbas singing skills.
Move On, greatest ABBA song 😁
They have new music from their comeback album "Voyage" "I still have faith in you" "Don't shut me down"
Waterloo, Thank you for the music, Dancing queen, Chiquitita, The winner takes it all, Super trouper, There was something in the air tonight, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Knowing me knowing you, SOS,
When I kissed the teacher.
Best song in the world.
I played the entire Voulez-Vous album to my elderly parents (60's) one time and they liked it. I was kinda surprised.
Dancing Queen , S.O.S., Fernando, Knowing Me Knowing You, Waterloo,
" I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" ....and if he's a rock fan do Summer Night City and then listen to a remake of it by hard rock band also from Sweden called Therion.
They’re a very visual band. You need to see the videos for the full effect. Beautiful voices, beautiful music, beautiful people. 💕
I really suggest that you try Eagle by ABBA which has a proggy feel to it. That or "the day before you came". Lesser known songs in their Canon but in my opinion the best.
Yes. Abba was at the top of the disco dung heap.
ABBA does have a hug catalog with lots of great songs, me l'm more of a Rock or prog rock fan but l can appreciate good music when l hear one.
HOW, and this isn't meant as criticism or accusing you of faking it,but how on earth could someone in Europe or the US (or probably around the world) avoid hearing at least bits of Abba? They're still on the radio constantly, were used in so many movies, are played at parties or events etc (irrelevant of wether you like their music or not). It's almost like not knowing any note by Elvis Presley, The Beatles or Queen...
That is fascinating in itself, Nick 😲
Among rock-fans, ABBA, of course, are still mostly a guilty pleasure, but still I'll dare and suggest a few of their hits here: "Take a chance on me", "Lay all your love on me", "Dancing Queen", "Super Trouper" or "Gimme Gimme Gimme" (more disco).
Their ballads can be very emotional (most notably "The Winner takes it all") but also on the cheesy side (for my taste - songs like "Fernando" or "Chiquitita" steer very close to what in German-speaking countries would be considered 'Schlager').
Yes, unless you've been living on a deserted island or nowhere near a radio ever it is impossible to have never heard an ABBA song at some stage of your life.
I watch reaction vids on the regular now, and when I come across this sort of thing, it's pretty impossible for me to believe it's not faked, lol. I guess when the expression "living under a rock" was invented, it was referring specifically to Nick.
@@terryspak5763 Yes. Like the "reactor" guy who pretended to have not heard "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. In this case though, we're talking about a band that sold over 150 Million records over a 40 year period.
ABBA for ever .......
ABBA HAS SO MUCH GREAT MUSIC. #1) Knowing me , knowing you. #2) Mama Mia #3) SOS 4) Waterloo 5) Winner Takes it all 6) Fernando 7) Take a chance in me . And so on. + the 2- new songs because Abba is back together now.
Perfect song choice
Though I respected the talent, I was never really into the disco stuff. However, I love "I'm a Marionette", that one has some pretty sinister chords in the chorus. Also, "The Name of the Game" has some of the most beautiful harmonies in pop.
I know that Nick likes prog rock you could check out "Name of the game" popp-prog. that song has atleast 3 different moods in it with masterful transitions in between them.
Just a tip from Gräddö Sweden
Love that song! Great suggestion, tack!
Opeth constantly points to Abba as inspiration.
I would recommend Eagle which is the closest they get to hard rock
Why not "Hole in Your Soul" .. check it out ..
Cheers 🍺
Isn't Eagle pretty much as fas as you can get from HARD rock? I mean. Eagle is very soft, almost like folk music. What do you mean by the term "hard rock"? Hendrix? Sweet? Black Sabbath? Poddle rock? Metal? Trash? It seems to be used for just about anything. (I'm into jazz style music myself, but still.)
FYI, ABBA will release a new album on November 5th 2021, two songs from the album has been already released. I Still Have Faith in You & Don't Shut Me Down.
The long version of "Eagle" by ABBA.
The day before you came, Soldiers, The visitors, One of us are all late period ABBA tracks that showcase their mature and sophisticated storytelling. Well worth your time to listen to their albums in full, especially from Arrival onwards.
They are the 3rd biggest selling group only behind The Beatles and Queen. Hundreds of millions albums sold!
Love the audio quality on your channel 🤓
Just knowing what I know of both of your music tastes, I suggest "Does Your Mother Know". In your quest for diversity, it's a little rock-y-er, some more male voices and just a whole lot of fun. As a single Dad of one daughter, I have pulled out the ABBA on many a car ride for some bucket seat dancing and father daughter harmonizing. Haha thanks for the memories.
Agreed! “Does Your Mother Know” was the second single off the Voulez Vous album, and it’s completely different
Does your mother know and hole in your soul live at wembley is some of my favourite ABBA content around! czcams.com/video/NfZBuCHF38s/video.html
I am 56 and I have heard ABBA all my life (thanks to my sis). I have never heard this song. It musta been their best,
Best!! Lex really knows her ABBA... all songs are good but they are one step beyond disco. The beat is disco 💃🏼 here but the song is just one step above... as I know the entire history about them growing up in the 70s.... in Sweden 🇸🇪
Thank you SO much for reacting to ABBA! They are iconic!
Try with the song Knowing Me, Knowing You
is very beautiful with the electric guitars, band and vocals . The letter is sad like our bodies but the voices are beautiful like our souls. 😊
I write before I listen: ABBA won the Eurovision song contest in 1974 with Waterloo. They had only in Germany 20 Top Ten hits within 8 years, 9 of them charting at #1. I can imagine, if Nick's parent didn't listen to this light Pop music, it is possible, he's never heard of them and in the late 80s they probably weren't present in Mexican radio either. I'm sure, if he had heard them he would remember, because many of their songs are "earwurms", once you hear them, you sing them. I never was an ABBA fan, but in the 70s they were all over the radio in Germany, the songs are well composed, very good produced and very catchy with these 2 attractive ladies singing. I could probably sing 10 songs of them immediately :-) Now I'll listen.
Still waiting for ABBA-song ”2. Greetings from a Swedish ABBA-fan 🤓
I love SOS.... masterpiece.... amongst others.
Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree is a big Abba fan.
Also, Janne Schaffer, who plays guitar on many Abba songs, is a great fusion/prog guitarist, famous for his collaboration with Toto, fusion/prog flutist/keyboardist Björn Json Lindh, they both also collaborated with the Swedish progband Isildurs Bane.
I still keep that Abba record where the song"Chiquitita" was included. They were very famous in my country, Argentina. They used to sing in other languages besides English. According to what I´ve found on the Internet , they recorded 4 songs in Swedish, three in German, one in French and 15 in Spanish
Thank you for your heart. You´re such a cool couple.
I don’t know if this is true, but I’ve heard that when they started, at least, the two women who sing didn’t even know English and just memorized the lyrics by their sound.
@@JohnBrooking4 Wow Were they understood by native English speakers?I think their accent was strong in Spanish except in Chiquitita. I can´t give an opinion about their English since I´m not a native English speaker.
@@greenbelly2008 I understood them fine. I wouldn’t have known that they didn’t know it. But as I said, I don’t know if that’s true. It could just be a rumor.
@@JohnBrooking4 I´ve read Frida was a teacher of English. Anyways, it was one of my favourite bands when I was a kid and they still are.
Hi. Great reaction. Do some more Abba. Fernando, SOS, The winner takes it all, ONE man one woman. 😍
Great reaction! "Voulez-Vous" is a really great song.
As a true ABBA fan and also being a fellow countryman to ABBA I can give you a few suggestions from each album and also in addition the two released songs from their new album called "Voyage". Through all of these suggestions you can listen how much they experimented and dabbled into different genres of music. Some of these are lesser known songs by ABBA, but in my eyes they are true gems and will as you mentioned show the true diversity of ABBA.
"Disillusion"(Ring Ring Album, 1973)
"Ring Ring"(Ring Ring Album, 1973)
"My Mama Said"(Waterloo Album, 1974)
"Dance(While The Music Still Goes On)" (Waterloo Album, 1974)

"The Visitors"(The Visitors Album, 1981)
And after a 40 Years hiatus, ABBA released two new songs just a few days ago called "I Still Have Faith In You" and "Don't Shut Me Down" from their new album "Voyage". The rest of the album will be released November, 5th this year.
I hope you I'll enjoy all the songs I suggested to you!
I was ready to rip your list apart (as *any* shortlist of ABBA songs necessarily misses out some gems), BUT I have to say I'm largely content. The only HUGE omission is "Thank You For the Music" (The Album, 1977) - as you don't include ANY songs from ABBA's mini-musical "The Girl with the Golden Hair". Also, if you truly want to show ABBA's genre range, I'd also include "Like An Angel Passing Through My Room" (The Visitors, 1981).
@@slashdisco Wanted to include all songs you mentioned especially "Thank You For The Music since it's one of my favourites, but was so tired and was very low on energy since I wrote this during the night. Wanted include "Move On"(one of my favourites aswell)but I decided to omit that aswell.
Poor 'One of Us' left out again 😢 I love that song and video. 'Move On' though yyeeeaah! "Like a roller in the ocean..!" 😍
please do more abba reactions !!! loved this ♥️
ABBA has 2 new songs out from an album coming out in November 1st stuff in 4 decades Check out "Don't Shut Me Down" and "I still have faith in you"
All 8 of their albums are amazing (and after a 40 year break, the 9th this November!). The first two are fun listens, with some great songs, but it's really their last 5 or 6 that show what masters and geniuses they are and became. Just great song after great song. Ring Ring is the first album, then Waterloo the second. Then ABBA, Arrival, The Album, Voulez Vous, Super Trouper, The Visitors. They also released "I am the City" as a song after they disbanded, along with You owe me one (which they said was more of a jingle and unfinished).
Last year they released a 23 minute video called Undeleted Medley which contained many excerpts from unfinished songs strung together in the studio, along with them being mischievous and joking about, including singing Summer Night City (usually a great song) as terribly as they could. it's also worth a listen to - full of good sounds and music, even if unfinished.
I remember watching them LIVE on the BBC. Winning the *Eurovision song contest* with *_Waterloo_* . Awesome.
Though as a heavy metal fan.. I would've never have told my friends back then.. lol
I'd love to know if Lex had watched *_"Mama Mia"_* the movie.. And if she loved it ???????
They only broke in USA with movie and stage play Mamma Mia. Hit him with Dancing Queen !! Love from Tassie. Waterloo won Euro vision of course.
Lex you can go wrong with any ABBA song they are all iconic songs.
May I suggest a hidden gem from ABBA called Intermezzo No. 1. This is a wonderful and happy instrumental that I know you two will absolutely love. It's kind of proggy!
That was a lovely reaction. First time watcher
If you get the chance to see ABBA Voyage here in London please do. It is AMAZING !
Some of their biggest audiences were in Australia and South America.
Well there are several Abba fans out there. One of them was obviously Madonna who based her song ”Hang Up” on samples from Abbas ”Gimmie Gimmie”. Also ”The Rumble in the jungle” song by Fugees is using sampling from ”The name of the game”.

Thank you so much for your kind words Erik
@@NicknLex Hey N, L
You're so welcome. Love your interaction. You guy's are sooooooo in L💘VE. One of your songs to each other, should be: ABBA'S: I've been waiting for you. A new ABBA voyage has begun. Wishin you an ABBALICIOUS evening, and an ABBA DABBA DOOO day tomorrow, with the release of ABBA'S new album VOYAGE 🤗
@@erikskifte8862 That's so sweet of you to say! Wishing you a wonderful evening as well and a great weekend while you listen to that album! Can't wait to get into it and get Nick into it as well. I would like for him to start where I did though, so it's a bit of a dilemma!
Try "The Day Before You Came" their last single very melancholy and open to multiple interpretations hope you like it!
El bajista de Abba Rutger Gunnarsson creó muy buenas bases para todos los temas de la banda. Es muy bueno verte reaccionar al escuchar por primera vez a Abba. Saludos desde Buenos Aires 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Great reaction! 🙂 One of their most underrated and best songs i think is "the visitors"
I remember an interview with Joe Strummer (hope I’m getting that right) of The Clash and Robert Fripp both saying that Abba was very good. I wonder if perhaps you both would consider reserving some number of days in a month for R&B, for soul, for female performers/composers, for folk music, for international music, and so forth. Might make the decision making process easier and solicit more varied suggestions. And mix up when those days are every month to keep from falling in a rut. Just an idea.

Hola amigos!! Les escribo desde Uruguay para recomendarles dos bandas de aquí de los años 70s para reaccionar, la primera es Psiglo, la canción Vuela mi galaxia, es rock progresivo, el baterista era un genio, Gonzalo Farrugia, toco entre otros con Charly García, la segunda es Días de blues, la canción Amasijando los blues, gracias, aguante Abba desde Montevideo!
better but less known songs from that time - Middle of the road - Sacramento, Louise, Queen Bee
So please react too Knowing Me, Knowing You. I need to understand how a break up song can make me smile. Maybe you guys can help!
Hi! Can't believe Nick never heard ABBA...
I think "Chiquitita", "Fernando" or "Move On" would be a great choice for the next time as these 3 songs truly show their songwriting skills, even for the lyrics which are usually crap. That would be a big contrast to poppy songs like "Voulez-vous" or "Dancing Queen" (allthough I also love their catchy style just as much!), but for the experience, I think Nick would be surprised to hear the difference after "Voulez-vous". Please try "Chiquitita (same album), it's such a beautiful song! "Move on" is not as famous (it was never released as a single), but it's such a perfectly balanced piece of writing and you can hear 3 of them singing separately for the verses which are rather quiet and all together for the chorus which is really joyfull. Perfect song!
