- ABBA - When I kissed the teacher (Official Music Video) | REACTION
// ATTENTION! THIS VIDEO WILL BE AVAILIBLE IN HD 1080p WITHIN 60 MINUTES OF UPLOAD! //
This is the FIRST song rom the "ARRIVAL" album that I react to! Let's go!
Featuring Magnus Härenstam, this video was very interesting and controversial! Imagine if this was the case in the year of 2024! (Which it obviously is in some cases). But I wonder if it was different back then, compared to now. Nonetheless, this video was fun to watch, and the song was great! I really liked the bass in this song, and it took of like a rocket!
From the album "ARRIVAL" from 1976.

Yes, the actor playing the teacher's role was Magnus Härenstam. Lyrically and musically, the song is filled with "schoolgirl imagery, and that's it. No one raised an eyebrow at this topic when it was released, and I haven't seen any adverse reactions, even though today, absolutely everything is considered controversial 😒
To the point the makers of the Mamma Mia sequel had to meddle with it and change certain lyrics to make it seem less controversial, even though it wasn't in the first place! Just so stupid!!!
A great catchy song. Lovely harmonies and the wonderful voice of Agnetha. .
I don’t think people thought anything about the subject matter. All those years ago.
It was just seen as a fun song another great tune in ABBA’s repertoire.
the lyrics are not harmful people take it the wrong way theres different perspectives people can take from it
I definitely was around when this video was released.
I am a malay and live in Malaysia, a country which society was (and still are) religiously, morally sensitive.
However as far as I could remember, we LOVE this song and this music video appeared a few times on our local tv network back then (as ABBA was, and is still, popular and very much loved in Malaysia) ❤ .
There was definitely no negative sentiment or backlash towards this song or this music video back then and both remain popular and much loved till this day.
We were (and still are) innocent and simple minded enough to love this song and its music video. We definitely perceive it as a fantasy of an innocent crush between a student and a teacher, nothing more, nothing less 😂.
ABBA has always been, and will always be perceived positively and fondly by us in Malaysia and long may that last. We ❤ ABBA 😊
in the glorious 70s nobody cared for all those BIG issues of today´s societies - everybody loved the music and the sweetness of the girls...
I fully confirm. I was a teenager during those days. Everybody loved this song a lot, for the catchy music and also for the story, because everybody identified with it. Which student, male or female, hasn't had a crush or an attraction with a teacher at school? People were more understanding and less hypocritical in those years.
Well said!
I'd say in many aspects the 70's were a better time then it is now!
This video is hysterical. My favorite part is when Björn, Benny, and Frida are all in the doorway leaning back in horror.
Nowadays, of course, it would be controversial...😅
In the 70's... that innocent kiss is just a school prank or a passing crush on the teacher... (just a student fantasy).
With students like Agnetha y Frida, of course it's confusing...😍.
Poor teacher😅.
Great video, David!... Take care✌️
Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
As an ardent ABBA fan, I played this song at a school party in the 70's and 2 teachers danced to it enthusiastically!
Like all lead songs from their albums this is a great opener to a hit packed album. Great harmonies on this and lead vocals from Agnetha.
Hello again dear GivenToe !
so nice to see You return with a new reaction to ABBA songs ,
now in Arrival album (1976)
"When I kissed the teacher" (1976)
this song is very funny, with powerful rhythm and fantastic backvoices
the unofficial video is very creative, where the blonde singer Agnetha plays her rol so well;
it's one of the most funny videos with ABBA,
like "Take a chance on me" (1978)
& "Head over heels" (1981)
It also shows that great things can be done with simplicity
Two details
1) Agnetha wears the diver number 32 (at that time the famous American baseball player O.J. Simpson used it)
2) That Agnetha lip bite is one of her trademarks (I don't think she's a tic)
She is very seductive with this, and also with the look in her eyes
"When I kiss the teacher" (1976)
is opening track from "Arrival" album,
a masterpiece album of pop music
with three worldwide hits like:
"Dancing Queen", "Money money money"
& "Knowing me knowing you"
and another greatest songs like
"My love My life", "That's me", "Tiger"
These video is from the TV special in Sweden (1976)
for a promotion to the new album "Arrival"
that also included two live perfomances:
"Why did it have to be me"
"Dum dum diddle"
Next track is the biggest ABBA worldwide hit
Dancing Queen
of course You know the song, and maybe official video
but I think that you could react the live perfomances
at Australia 1977 or London 1979
I wish You a great weekend
My best regards from

Oh my bro!!!! I'm so happy because finally you starded to react a new era of ABBA song's, as you said. I have this vynil album, I love all the songs and this special one I particulary love it because I remember I heard it for the very first time when I probably was 9 or 10. The very first time I heard an ABBA song I was 9 years old. I know exackly which song was (don't tell you now which was because you still didn't reacted to it). I remember I was stucked to the TV screen watching the video of that song. It was a black & white screen TV and when I listen the song I immediatly love it. So the song "When I kissed the teacher" is a great one, a great ABBA hit and for me one of the bests of them. It is in my ABBA top 20, for sure. Thank you my bro for remind me so good childwood's memories.
Rutger (bassplayer) shines on this one. Splendid track. I wonder if they used 12-string acoustic guitars. I like the sound.
And at least, Magnus got a little kiss by Agnetha. 😅
In 1976 I was 5 y/o and my kindergarden teachers played nothing but ABBA. I know these songs by heart.
I love seeing your face when you react to these amazing ABBA songs!! I have loved ABBA since I was 7 years old and now I am 54. I guess that Arrival is my favourite album...... But I love all songs from ABBA. When it came out , I was very young, so I just listened to it, but I have never been aware of anyone saying something negative about the topic of the song.
Always one of my favourite Agnetha performances and no it didn’t seem anything other than cheeky back then!
Solid acoustic track, great harmonies, but no surprise, it's ABBA after all!
ABBAMAMN.
One of my favorite tracks from arrival. When this album came out back then the song was never a single especially in the US but they did make several videos for album tracks. so it wasn't until many years later when I saw the video on RUclips. I think you can realize that ABBA has indeed stepped on the accelerator and moved into the Abba sound that we all know and love. So from here on out Tighten your seatbelt!😊
It was sooo good seeing this video!
As l recall, at the time, there was no controversy about the subject matter and if there was it wasn't on my radar anyway! The radio stations played it continuously as they did,every single time that Abba released a new single.( No complaints here!!😁)
The song was accepted as a happy, "Toe" tapping tune..
No negative connotation at all!
In that era,there were alot of songs, with what are deemed now, to be 🤔🤤 such as ' Love to love you baby', 'Centrefold',
'Do you think I'm Sexy' etc...Literature, old sitcoms have all been reviewed and have failed or passed judgement.. We have to remember that was another era of perspective..Some harmless and some very serious. Too much for comment? 😁 You know me by now bello!
Ciao and thankyou for your reactions and smile! 🤗❤🦋
why would there be controversy girls have crushes on there teachers
So excited that we're moving into the Arrival era... such a special album. I'm old enough to remember this video on TV... definitely the official video we saw, even though I don't think When I Kissed the Teacher was a single as such. The sound of those guitars strumming in the opening seconds still makes me so excited. Keen to hear your thoughts on the whole album, GivenToe. Thanks as always for sharing your reaction. Ignore the now-iffy subject matter... this song is an amazing opener to the album.
I love your faces while watching the video 😂😂😂😂😂
I love this song, it's pure ABBA pop, it's energy and good vibes with a good production and heavenly voices. It's perfect.
It's very common to fall in love with a teacher, isn't it?
It's fun to see them act like teeanagers, like Olivia in Grease....they were not so young.
It should have been a single! ❤
I was surprised when I began my deep dive into Abba last year, how many videos I'd never seen. They were somewhat pioneers in the 70s for making so many, I think. Iffy or not, this is a good song and deserves more plays. I think the innocent vibe helps them to get away with the subject matter.
Ja und Regie hat fast immer Lasse Hallström geführt der spätere Oscar Gewinner.
Thank you for the reaction. I love this song. I don't care what people say about the lyrics. I was born in the 70's and I never thought this song was controversial. We now live in a society where you can not say anything because you will be accused of one thing or another. I had crushes on my teachers - as I am sure many of us did!
One of my favorite tracks on this album. And one of my favorite videos. Just innocent fun, I think, not to be taken too seriously. And yes, that's one lucky teacher alright! 😂
I remember when this first came out, no one cared back then about the content of the video, we weren't flakes back then
Well GT I was teen of age 14 when the Arrival album hit record stores, got my copy and always thought this song was fun with a rocking melody. During this era the subject matter was seen as a cute naïve thing.....I certainly had a schoolboy crush on a couple of my teachers, mildly. However certainly today this would not fly ! Ironic isn't it how some things are acceptable today in the world that in that era would not be and vice versa.
Its often, that student have a crush on their teacher. But its most of the time only in their head. She said, she dreams of him every night...Its a imagination thing. But nobody talks about it. I totally understand the situation. Its cute and I have to smile...
The video clip was made for ABBA's 1976 Swedish TV special 'ABBADABADOO'. There's also a Lip synched peformance from their 'In Poland ~ Studio 2' TV special also from 1976. Pleased you're back on ABBA track, hoping you'll react to the four members appearing together at the Voyage Premiere in 2022, its pretty special in an emotional way. I love the bouncy 'When I Kissed The Teacher' and 'Arrival' is one of my favourite ABBA albums. This track was used in the 2018 'Mamma Mia ~ Here I Go Again' Movie. The song really wasn't controversial in the '70's and neither was the equally lyrically wacky 'Does your Mother Know' or 'Two For The Price Of One'. It was tongue~in~cheek humour back then.
If forced to choose, I think this would be my favourite ABBA song ! .. To quote the lyrics, once the song takes off ( as you put it ), I am definitely "in my seventh heaven" .. Totally love it !!!
I received this album for Christmas 1976. It was constantly played on my great uncle's stereogram (Combined Radio and Record Player). It was a large piece of furniture, but the sound from it was fantastic! To me, this was the start of the real Abba music. I loved this album.
Seen this video many times but watching it with you, seeing and hearing your comments are even better. Thanks for a great reaction. Take care.
Thank you David, brilliant reaction, and one of my favourite songs from this album, I was 10 when this came out, I don't think there was anything said about the lyrics at that time, except for a brilliant song, I had a crush on my teacher, mrs fee ,aww brings back happy memories of that time, a better time than the present, thanks again for carrying on with abba albums, thousands will be happy you are ,cheers from Cornwall, st Ives x
Hay GT Dan Vascs droped a new one is a must see 👍👌sending love n carnt wait for ur reaction xxx
Loved your video review GivenToe.. The innocence of the video then, gee how things have changed now.. Great harmonies, at the time in Australia it was just seen as a fun video. Love the Arrival album, Abbas coming of age.. Greetings from Australia GivenToe..
Thank you 🙏🏻😊
Hey there Giventoe so glad your on this album now its the first time I think there sound has really formed and so powerful its also nice this song is so upbeat without the melancholy feeling its so controversial but that's Abba keep them coming i literally look forward to your reactions. I've seen lots of different reactions yours is so good!!
Aww I love this song! I was 10 years old back then and to my knowledge there was no adverse reaction to it. It’s from a far more innocent (and better, in my opinion) time. The video is so cute 😍
😁😁😁
Den här härliga låten kommer jag ihåg och har sett videon med , men kommer inte ihåg när ! Gamla godingar som aldrig går ur tiden 👍 Tack för den David ❤
ABBA started doing music videos long before MTV came around.
A great opening of my favorite ABBA album! We had it in the seventies and party on it every day🥳
When this came out, there was no negative reaction at all, only appreciation for the quality of the music. The seventies was a much more innocent/naive era in many ways, and this infectious nod to the 60s girlband sound should be taken much more in the spirit of a school girl crush....kinds now see themselves as adults almost before they hit double figures, back then we were kids even as teenagers. Pure pop, noting sinister in the context of its day.
There are tons of Abba videos, not few.
There was no controversy at the time.
It was just viewed as the old trope of the student with a crush on a teacher with stolen peck on the cheek.
Back then it was not viewed as the student automatically jumping in the sack with the teacher the next day.
Just a silly kiss in a moment and that was it.
So awesome our ABBAMAN is back with ABBA! Thank you so much for the continuation with the ABBA albums. This song is one of Agnetha' s favourites and mine, too. 💌🤟
Yes sir! =)
Enjoyable reaction, as always. *wonders how controversial it would be for GivenToe to kiss his teacher Agnetha*😉
I just love how uncomfortable and conflicted you are by this, it's so funny. It really shows just how prudish society has become in the last 20 years or so. I was around when it came out and remember singing it at the top of my voice in the car. It was funny, silly, flirtatious. And yes, adults understood the connotations of it, but they also understood that a schoolgirl having a crush on her teacher was completely normal and something that happens all the time.
There are other ABBA songs that would probably also have similar reactions if they were made today - Does Your Mother Know and Two For The Price Of One spring to mind.
This is one of my favorite ABBA songs. It really has a good sound, melody and tempo. The video is funny and I don't think it was controversial back then, but I often think how it is probably considered to be unacceptable these days, LOL.
Äntligen fick jag se den 😀 Så mycket minnen ❤ Då var jag en 6-7 år gammal Agnetha och min kusin Frida. Så synd att jag inte ens har bilder när vi var Abba. Tack för denna David 🙏🤗
Härliga minnen ju 😍🙏🏻
This is one of my favourite. I was about 8 when it came out. My parents had the album. No issues I was aware of.
Oh Mr G.T..love your reactions and there are two swedish version that I know of.,1981 Growing Girls "När Jag Kysste Larar'n" and 1991 Mona G "När Jag Kyssa Lärar'n"
Ha ha yes it's Magnus. "5 myror🐜 är fler än 4 elefanter." 🐘.
Hug from Sweden 🇸🇪
It was an easier day back then. No issues. But to express your gratitude you may kiss the teacher. as being a friend . I know that normally used Mum & Dad when talking to teachers. It just slipped out!
I love this song, great way to start the wonderful Arrival album. And no, in the 70’s we didn’t try to analyse song lyrics, just enjoyed great music 🙂🎼👏
Hello Mylord
Isn't it something we all thought about at some point in our lives? I for sure did....think about it😅. Times change. So many things people didn't think off in the past. Today this song would be really controversial. Back then nobody thought about it. But back then it was also no problem slapping kids around.....luckily that changed too.
Live your reaction on this... see you soon ❤
This was the era before political correctness and nobody gave a second thought to the video, song or context! It was fun and innocent as it was intended to be. Oh, and also yet another ABBA masterpiece!
Oh I had a crush on my P.E.Teacher in High School when I was 12 and when I heard this song two years later he came to mind. I never liked P.E lol..😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Great song love the video
totally fun and innocent back then, no controversy that I ever heard of and it did get played on radio and one of the Melbourne music tv shows. It was much more rock and roll when they played it live in Melbourne, if I remember correctly it was the second song of the concert but the order of songs changed slightly for each of the three Melbourne shows. Check out ABBA:The Movie, there might be a part of it featured live.
I heard this in my home in the early 80s when I was a kid. I think I might have heard a Swedish version. As far as I can remember the plot here was just considered to be cute, nothing more nothing less. Definitely not disturbing or problematic in anyway.
Two for the price of one was actually much more spicy. A few lines:
If you dream of the girl for you
Then call us and get two for the price of one
I ❤this song and video ❤
I don't think that the lyrics of this song would have been controversial then because I'm sure it's fairly common for a student to have a crush on the teacher, but if it had been the other way around, the teacher having a crush on a student, then that's controversial especially today
It's a cute song, but be warned, it's definitely an earworm. Once you hear it, it sticks in your head and you will be singing it all day. I put this together with Does Your Mother Know.
I don't remember there being any controversy. That was back when we were all young and naive. I had a terrible crush on my eighth grade science teacher, but since he was a guy and I was a guy, I would never have thought of kissing him. This was 1969. 😂
Javisst var det underbara Magnus Härenstam😊
No, it wasn't controvercial at all. At that time, adult schools was a big thing. A lot of women and some men got their education at the age of 30-40 years old, because they hadn't a very good education before. We watched the video and saw 4 adults in school, and one of them fell in love with the teacher.
Den har man sett många gånger👍😀
Nobody payed attention to the subject matter and i think similar happened to the Police song- Don’t Stand So Close To Me…
Den har man lyssnat och sett ett antal gånger och den är fortfarande lika bra 😍
Det var ingen som skattade åt denna när den spelades på högstadiet utan vi sjöng o dansade till den i andra ABBA låtar på rasterna 😊
Så kul 😁 Jag är nästan 100 på att vi sett / hört den svenska versionen i skolan 😅
@@GivenToe En cover alltså, aldrig hört talas om, med vilken artist?
I don't recall any controversy on the release of Arrival. I think any reaction was to treat like a dare or prank, with no more serious undertones. Enjoy the rest of the album and, as ever, I look forward to your reviews.
😁😁
It wasn’t controversial back then, but today everyone is offended by everything so it would be. We’ve gone backwards.
Controversial in 2024? well, maybe but in 1976, not really - having a crush on the teacher is a common thing. It was an album track, not a single (in UK at least) so it wasn't very well known and didn't get any adverse reactions as I remember. If it had been called When The Teacher Kissed Me - hell yeah, that would have created a firestorm!
🤘 ᗅᗺᗷᗅ 🤘
🤘 GivenToe 🤘
Never head it before 😅
Ha ha ABBAs most controversial song😅! And no, at the time I can't remember it was controversial. Just fun. But today it's crazy.
That's certainly different than anything I expected from ABBA. Having said that, I'd like to officially volunteer to be that teacher, but, only for the kissing scenes.
Perhaps you know it from the Mamma Mia 2 movie
I was 15 when this song and this video came out. Saw it lots on tv. Loved it immediately. Abba took a big stride in development by the end of 1975 and this album is proof of that. And no, i dont remember any controverse about it in The Netherlands. I mean, he did nothing wrong and she just gave him a peck on the cheek. It was just funny, this nerdy man didnt know what happened.
It was in one of the Mamma Mia films. I don't recall it being controversial even recently. I think it is probably OK (ie merits no more than detention) for a female student to kiss a teacher but NOT for it to be reciprocated!
Another thing we will never get an answer on ,why did they all wear American football "T-shirts" ?
True 😅🤷🏼♂️
I dont know if it's controversial, there were the days where some things was just cute and sweet, not sexual like today.
Yes toe, the swedish version is the worst ever! När jag kysste läraren 😂😂😂 dont mind listen to it. Grettings from a fellow swede!
hahah thanks for telling me XD
Det var inget specielt som hände kring den videon. Inte som jag kommer ihåg iaf.
Ha,ha,ha. Men så klart, så fanns det knappt några videor på den tiden. TSSS
*promo sm*
Hey men, how do you do? Do know avantasia?
Not heard them 😊
Try to listen , you likes i know, listen one song calles lucifer @@GivenToe
A girl was madly in love with me, but for some reason I just couldn’t get the hots for her despite being best friends in 99-00-01 til she finally found a boyfriend who desired her which she deserved and had no trouble finding. I think it might have been since she had brown hair. Long blond hair like Agnatha hair might have done the trick for her. Now. I am no Casanova, so this is not a bragging thing, just odd since Agnatha is my dream girl and my friend looked so much like her. As for the song. Lots of songs from the 70s&80s had lyrics not appropriate for damned cancel culture 2024. The Police song for example is really crude. Don’t stand so close to me. Lots of things hinting towards sex between the student and young teacher who lusts after student and brings her wet young body into his warm dry car etc,
The only one who's making this controversial is you and your shamefull thoughts. Are you really a grown man or just having a juvenile sense of humour. I'm not laughing. Great song though.
