@@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD I bought The Visitors LP in early december 1981 here in Sweden. So it was finished a little before 1982. I actually remember I played it for my grandmother around Lucia (the 13th of december), and that she though it was disco-ish😊
April 1999, last party for a college group I belonged to. The music was playing and no one dancing. I said, "I got this," walked over to the DJ, "play Dancing Queen by Abba." 30 seconds later 100 21-year-olds on the dance floor! You ever find yourself in a similar spot, you know what to do. Abba!
What really floored me was that the two guys wrote ALL THE SONGS. Even the lyrics. They created quite a few songs from a girl's/woman's perspective and really knocked it out of the park. It's amazing.
When the guys in the band first played the music to the girls in the band they broke into tears (joy and beauty) There is a touch of melancholy and wistfulness in this perfect song. Enjoy
I wonder whether Björn actually WROTE the lyrics or whether he CHANNELLED them. He has written some of the most spiritual lyrics you can imagine - check out You have to be there if you don´t believe me - and the guy is a declared atheist...!
I was 16, when this was in the charts in 1977 - I was a dancing queen back then in 1977 and a dancing queen in 2021 at aged 60. When you hear it, you cannot fail to want to dance.
_Finally,_ a young gal who appreciates (and calls attention to) specific _musical_ elements in songs, rather than just the lyrics. For example, your reaction to the drums & percussion (4:47), Benny's piano playing (5:14), and those glorious pre-chorus strings (5:24). Honestly, I've always listened to music the exact same way you do - _I savor every little musical morsel._ (even when I was a little kid) Anyway... Oh, and your mimicking of Agnetha and Frida (at 5:10) cracks me up. 😆 You ladies know all each other's little seductive moves. 😁 Cheers!
@@RogueRxyce Hope you had time to dig into more of ABBA's amazing discography. They had so many fantastic hits and so many have proven to be timeless. Can still totally rock out for a whole evening on ABBA. Really enjoying your channel, hope all's well!
Frida!! Love her energy and personality while performing. She was having the best time whenever she was in stage and giving her all. Agnetha also a wonderful performer but in a slightly more low key way. This is THE song which will always be the most identifiable to ABBA given the enormity of its success and continued relevance even after 45 years after its original release in 1976. That is just remarkable. I hope you explore more of the ABBA world of musical brilliance because there is so much to hear and enjoy.
The name "ABBA" is an acronym of their names: Agnetha (blond), Benny (piano), Björn (guitar) and Anni-Frid (brunette). They are from Sweden and were active 1972-1982. They have sold about 400 million albums world wide and are one of the most succesful bands ever. In 2010 they were inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by The Bee Gees. ABBA has tons of hits and they created that uniqe ABBA-sound that today is legendary. Agnetha and Anni-Frid were two of the greatest vocalists on their own, but when they start to harmonize their voices, that's when the real magic begins and it's just.... WOW WOW WOW
It's very difficult to me to understand why America only know "Dancing Queen". Every single ABBA song is beautiful, even the sad ones. I discovered them when I was 10, and I'm now 57, and ABBA is still a great pleasure for my ears and my soul.
Dude, we are around the same age. I first became an ABBA fan growing up in the USA after hearing their single “Take a Chance on Me.” I then purchased “ABBA: The Album.” I became familiar with that album before I heard “Dancing Queen.”
Assuming that Americans only know Dancing Queen is such a blanket statement. I'm 59 and I knew about ABBA before Dancing Queen. Fernando, Waterloo, S.O.S, among others are some of my ABBA favorites. A lot of these reactions are from younger people who are just discovering them. People my age and older know about ABBA.
May 21, 2021 official video of "Dancing Queen" the biggest global success of ABBA exceeded 500,000,000 views on RUclips and #ABBA remastered it in HD Spectacular image, it's like being there with Them thanks so much to ABBA and congratulations to Agnetha Fälkstog Benny Andersson Björn Ulvaeus Anni Frid Lyngstad
I swear that quick piano riff is the best start to any song I can think of. These four musicians were the Jackson 5 of Europe, they seem just genetically tailored for rock!
I grew up with ABBA and I adore them. I'm 50 in August :) and I was about 8 when this came out lol! OMG It feels like yesterday. Everyone liked Agnetha but I had a crush on Frida :) She sang Like An Angel Passing Through My Room on the Arrival album and it was gorgeous.
7:01 What a time you would have on the dance floor back in 1977 when this song hit #1 in the USA. It played everywhere all day. When the DJ put this disc on EVERYBODY got up to dance. We need more music like this and more discotheques in 2023. Great reaction video👍🏻😊
ABBA had tons of hit songs. Chiquitita, The Winner Takes It All, Mamma Mia, Fernando, Take a Chance on Me, Lay All Your Love on Me, Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie! ( A Man After Midnight ) , Waterloo ... the harmonies the rhythm. A few years ago reportedly they were offered a Billion ( yes with a B ) for a reunion. $250 million for each member to do a reunion tour and they turned it down.
ABBA are *Pop Royalty GOLD* . Timeless , flawless musical gems. These songs stay in your brain and never leave. Exceptional talent from all 4 members. I can't wait for their new music to be released this autumn. According to their manager, "you won't be disappointed". It will be massive news when they finally hit the airwaves ❤
A classic from the 70s. I was a child and I remember how this song was played too many times on the radio in my country ( Cuba 🇨🇺) Everybody was crazy about Abba's music.
Yes, and here we are sitting in our homes under Covid....ah, I remember 1976...I was 16 and NOT sitting at home staring at an illuminated screen. (covering all devices 😃)
This song was such a MASSIVE hit in the mid 70's (I remember it well in high school), and has since continued its huge popularity. It's a dance/pop/disco song, but yet so much more than that. The instrumentals and vocals are superlative and capture a spirit which is not only elusive, but is simply difficult to define for any era of music.
We had some of the best music ever in the 70's, ABBA , Bee Gee's, Barry White, Elton John , Motown, the list is endless, Disco's till morning, home , wash , straight to work, home, out again and repeat , that was the life !!
THere's nothing more enjoyable than to watch a woman enjoying a song that lifts the spirit of females... ANd Im a male O . o Yes I love this song too.. I still considered this as one of the top 10 song in Post Industrial age...
The Bee Gees...Nights on Broadway, Donna Summer...Last Chance, Chic's..I want your Love and A Taste of Honey...Boogie Oogie Oogie!! All these songs were in that 70's era, songs that had the Club dance floors in NYC, going CRAZY!!! Energy Music!!
Back in the late 70's early 80's, we, or at least I, didn't need any kind of drugs to get high, it was this music that made your mood and got the whole place jumping and moving, boy, this brings back memories.......
This just gives my vision of a girl shaking her butt not worried about anything else in life for the moment. Free to dance with whoever she wants with no expectations. Just feeling the beat in her soul and her heart. This song just makes me tear up. Thier voices are beautiful I've never heard such a combo. Voices of angels. This is one song that should be illegal to remake. It is timeless. They nailed it. Forever.
ABBA was fantastic. They are from Sweden and English is their second language. They had a lot of mega hits. "Momma Mia" was made into a movie. Listen to all of their music, it will be time well used.
I've been in some dark moods and depression?! But ABBA is one of of the group's that has always put a spring in my step.xxx beautiful reaction.. Cheer's Gorgeous 🇬🇧
It was a pleasure watching you from the Netherlands and enjpying Dancing Queen. When i look on Toutube i see a lot of young(er) people get into ABBA by watching their songs and give reactions ;-) I was a kid when Dancing Queen came out and was addicted to this song immediately. Hope you will post more ABBA songs, it's timeless.
I first heard this song when I was a teenage boy I loved it then and it still makes me feel the same way now and I'm almost 60. One of my top five favorite songs.
I'm enjoying watching you discover the music of my youth. I can tell you really love the vibe. I have to say we were really lucky. I am 60 this year and it seems like yesterday.
There used to be huge indoor roller skating rinks with giant speakers and Dj’s spinning vinyl while you skated and flirted - I can still hear the wheels on the wood planks and this playing.. This was a massive hit.,
This is the third reaction video I see from you and can already note music is your native language, your understand it and you genuinely feel it, as some of us do. It is so refreshing to see you appreciate good music from "several" years ago as it helps to keep it alive. You definitely look beautiful from inside and outside, thank you so much for the reactions. Keep going!
All the same problems as todays existed back then but not all the labor saving devices, cell phones, internet etc as today and people wanted to concentrate on the best things in life and finding the joy in each other rather than things to dislike and that comes out in the music. The world was honestly a much better place in that regard despite all its issues. Hopefully we can get back to that again one day and we can all party :)
@@rmp7400 Well to remember the way we were you actually had to have been there and clearly you weren't - the logic of truth. Nobody is saying it was perfect, the world will always have problems, but back then those issues were not orchestrated and minds controlled through ubiquitous and invasive social media all the way down to the societal level. People communicated with each other face to face, no need for emojis. And they disagreed and argues but never did they hate the other person for simply disagreeing or want them banned from life, they agreed to disagree if they could not find compromise and went about their lives.
You`d check the groove, the vibe. Ola Bunkert, (RIP) was their drummer from day number one. Style, taste and remarkable timing. Sweeden not was only Volvo, Saab and industry. This girls are that country`s national treasures.
I WATCHED A LOT OF YOUR VIDEOS AND TRULY LOVE YOUR REACTION Of PAST PERFORMERS 60S, 70S, WHY THIS WAS MY YOUNG DAYS, And I ENJOY YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE YOU ENJOYING THIS MUSIC.
This song was released the day I turned 17. The arrangement is perfect from the first piano hook, every element is repeated for affect in its own space. Only this song reached #1 in the US, but all were #1 with me.
Love this time period Today's music has no favor,no style or no soul These along with the Four Seasons & the Bee Gees Brings me back to my skating rink dsyz
I am soo glad I seen one of your videos the other day. I just turned 53 and you be jamming many of our oldies but goodies. Because of your overwhelming passion and love for music just makes your videos all the so very much better.
Dang girl I love ur reviews. I don’t know if your were around in the 70’s - 80’s, I was and I remember roller skating to this some. What memories. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Keep up the great reviews.
One possible reason why you may not remember the strong musical introduction is because you probably heard the song when it was played on AM radio in the 1970s. It was common practice for the disc jockeys to talk over musical introductions until the vocals started and they often did the same thing at the end of the record. It's just the way things were done at the time.
Brings back memories of my halcyon days in NYC. My good friend/bartender used to climb up on the bar and pour shots directly from bottle to mouth every time that song came on the jukebox. Some of the best nights of my life. Thank you!
In 1976-1977 this song was listed number 1 in. Australia, Belgium, UK, Netherlands, West Germany (as it was called back then), New Zeeland, Sweden (of course) and US. More trivia, The video for Dancing Queen was filmed at the Alexandra's discotheque in Stockholm.
about 22 years ago, in 1999 or so, Kerrang Magazine in Germany did a worldwide survey, asking 480,000 people around the world for their opinions about songs. In pop music, this song was voted #3 dance/pop song of all time, in the WORLD. It was preceded ONLY by the Bee Gees "Night Fever" & "Stayin' Alive" but beating Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and notable other famous songs. #3 in the world. All-time. This song will be around FOREVER as an example of human excellence. When I was a teenager & young adult, ABBA was huge around the globe. I've been to & heard ABBA's songs in Berlin, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Nairobi, Santiago, Madrid, Zagreb, London, Paris, New York, Toronto, Denver, Lesotho, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Luzon, Manila, New Delhi, Cairo, Moscow, and every smaller city & town between them. Everyone around the planet LOVES them some ABBA! Hopefully, you do too! They have not performed together since 1982 & today, today, they are the #19 selling artist in the world. TODAY!

Just tuned in to get my ABBA fix xx Lovely reaction xx
it was a jam. thanks for stopping by!
The writing, singing, and recording is pure genius ! ...producing the most joyful, uplifting, and enduring pop song in music history

This song came out in 1976. 47 years later , people still are fallin in love with it. ABBA music is timeless.
I was 13 when this came out in 1977. It definitely stood the test of time, still sounds great.
60's and 70's are the best music in rock and pop...thanks for sharing and your reaction
the reason as a rock fan, that I love abba so much is their purity, just simply presenting beautiful music, for the sake of music.
Starting out with the chorus is so smart. Also, there's so many hooks. Stella song writing.
Abba actually sang this song and the queen of England was there grooving! I loved it!
The first time they play this song was at the Swedish royal wedding for Dancing Queen Silvia
I'm Swedish and I can confirm, ABBA is still like religion here. You will have to look actively to find someone who doesn't know ABBA.
My dear sweet Rouge... you ARE the Dancing Queen!
😂💃🏽
This song still sounds as wonderful as it did when I first heard it back in 1976
ABBA was fantastic. They are from Sweden and English is their second language. They had a lot of mega hits. "Momma Mia" was made into a movie. Listen to all of their music, it will be time well used.
Never been a huge Abba fan but can't help swaying in time to many of their songs including this one.
That was a great time to be single and alive. I was in my late 20's. Disco always affected people this way. Then you just Loved being alive!
I've been in some dark moods and depression?! But ABBA is one of of the group's that has always put a spring in my step.xxx beautiful reaction.. Cheer's Gorgeous 🇬🇧
Dance baby, dance! Be 17 again, be the queen! Good reaction!
Makes me wish I was young again.
LOVE YOUR REACTION. Everyone eventually discovers ABBA. They sold 1/2 a billion albums and had 28 hits worldwide. Dig in, they are amazing!
For the young just hearing these great classics, these are your grandparents.
One of the first songs I remember my parents playing in the car as a child. Have been an ABBA fan ever since. 💙🌹
you said "they are smiling", well so are you, good job, just watched you react to Pink Floyd, VERY NICE !!
Without doubt the best pop song ever!

Arguably The Perfect Pop Song
You’re the best reactor of all. Love how you notice all the choreography between the two vocalists.❤You ought to consider being a late-night DJ.
I LOVE Abba and Dancing Queen!!!
I grew up with this music. I love the way the violins come in. This music will always rock, even today. Love your reaction. Just subbed.
🙏🏽
This brings back memories
I first heard this song when I was a teenage boy I loved it then and it still makes me feel the same way now and I'm almost 60. One of my top five favorite songs.
There is a certain innocence and simple fun vibe to them. I’m old enough to say , Those were fun times ! 😆
Love it. Most probably the most played song on a jukebox/karaoke! Takes me back to those times.
I watched them the night they won the Eurovision Song Contest. That was when it all started to go through the roof for them.
And 14 years later in Dublin it happened for Celine Dion representing Switzerland. Two careers launched by the Eurovision.
@@Curraghmore Mega careers as such!
They were big in Sweden long before they were ABBA.
I'm enjoying watching you discover the music of my youth. I can tell you really love the vibe. I have to say we were really lucky. I am 60 this year and it seems like yesterday.
I think she digs 70's and 80's music.
There used to be huge indoor roller skating rinks with giant speakers and Dj’s spinning vinyl while you skated and flirted -
I can still hear the wheels on the wood planks and this playing..
This was a massive hit.,
Yes honey I was a certified dancing queen, and even though I’m in my 60’s now, this song takes me right back there...... I’m so glad you loved it!
Listened to this back in 80's

We all loved this group when we were young . So good , Great reaction young lady

yes please, lets travel back to the 70's Friday night 3 cocktails in.... pure bliss
Was released in 1977 The best DECADE EVEEEER
When I think about that Disco era this is what it felt and sound like in that whole freaking era. It was FUN!!! 😂 😂 😂
Love this time period
Today's music has no favor,no style or no soul
These along with the Four Seasons & the Bee Gees
Brings me back to my skating rink dsyz
You my dear you would be awesome to go to a concert with!
Disco was awesome in the 7os 💕😀
I am soo glad I seen one of your videos the other day. I just turned 53 and you be jamming many of our oldies but goodies. Because of your overwhelming passion and love for music just makes your videos all the so very much better.
Another great video is " Does Your Mother Know ?" I grew up with ABBA, always loved them.
Dang girl I love ur reviews. I don’t know if your were around in the 70’s - 80’s, I was and I remember roller skating to this some. What memories. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Keep up the great reviews.
Music you don't just hear it, you gotta feel it !
One possible reason why you may not remember the strong musical introduction is because you probably heard the song when it was played on AM radio in the 1970s. It was common practice for the disc jockeys to talk over musical introductions until the vocals started and they often did the same thing at the end of the record. It's just the way things were done at the time.
maybe that would have been the reason if i was around in the 70s 😂
The angels of music...incomparable.
Mama Mia brought all of Abba's songs back! Me and my over 60 friends danced and sang and drank proseco, had a blast! 🤣
Brings back memories of my halcyon days in NYC. My good friend/bartender used to climb up on the bar and pour shots directly from bottle to mouth every time that song came on the jukebox. Some of the best nights of my life. Thank you!
In 1976-1977 this song was listed number 1 in. Australia, Belgium, UK, Netherlands, West Germany (as it was called back then), New Zeeland, Sweden (of course) and US. More trivia, The video for Dancing Queen was filmed at the Alexandra's discotheque in Stockholm.
Nice to see you've discovered ABBA. The music is tops in any decade.
about 22 years ago, in 1999 or so, Kerrang Magazine in Germany did a worldwide survey, asking 480,000 people around the world for their opinions about songs. In pop music, this song was voted #3 dance/pop song of all time, in the WORLD. It was preceded ONLY by the Bee Gees "Night Fever" & "Stayin' Alive" but beating Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and notable other famous songs. #3 in the world. All-time. This song will be around FOREVER as an example of human excellence. When I was a teenager & young adult, ABBA was huge around the globe. I've been to & heard ABBA's songs in Berlin, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Nairobi, Santiago, Madrid, Zagreb, London, Paris, New York, Toronto, Denver, Lesotho, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Luzon, Manila, New Delhi, Cairo, Moscow, and every smaller city & town between them. Everyone around the planet LOVES them some ABBA! Hopefully, you do too! They have not performed together since 1982 & today, today, they are the #19 selling artist in the world. TODAY!
