Have you seen the latest RUclips reaction videos for "My Momma Said"? With all of this ABBA hype after 40 years and the soon to be released "Voyage" LP/CD...young folks who only knew the name ABBA from from the Mama Mia musical...are now also listening to more of their previous work from earlier albums. Even Hip-Hop & Rap fans are giving them a listen on RUclips. ABBA's style will always have their original sound, but "My Momma Said" has that real funky guitar & bass line which presently deserves (yes...even after more than 40 years) recognition & airplay. Imagine Waterloo (with its catchy sound) hitting the radio stations back in 1974?...and at the same time the hidden gem "My Momma Said" never was even considered a single. It definitely was way before its time. With lots of promotional ads...many of these overlooked/underrated ABBA tracks would've been big. "Lay All Your Love On Me" (according to Bjorn in an interview) was never meant to be released as a single...and somehow at that time...several DJs found it...and played it..and the rest was history...including extended disco versions. I never forgot the reaction in dance clubs...as soon as the synthesizer beginning came on! 🎼👏👏👏👏
Funky groove track should "now" be released as a single. It shows a whole different side of ABBA! How this tune was not released or even promoted is beyond me. The funky guitar solo and bass line really kicks.👍
This is why ABBA fans love ABBA. They cover all music styles but with sheer quality so there's no need to listen to anyone else! ABBA are possibly the most underrated group in the world whilst also being arguably the best pop group in music history.
"My Mama Said" is one of the best tracks on Waterloo. Love the keyboard synth hooks, the fantastic, funky bass line, guitar riffs and the overall mood and melody. One of Abba's best dance tracks and sounds great full blast.
Oh yes, funky ABBA! They were experimenting with sounds and styles on the 'Waterloo' album. "My Mama Said" is definitely a hidden gem. It remained an obscure album track as it was hardly ever included on compilation albums and (as far as I know) never performed anywhere. For me it's a favorite though from the early years.
...and should be re-released as a newly discovered, ABBA hidden gem💎, especially for those who like to get into the soul groove of a track. The guitar and bass line kicks👍.
ABBA GOLD and ABBA casual listers are always shocked when they finally listen to their album cuts. Buy all their albums and listen with quality headphones. They knew how to put a song together.
OMG! You are so damn cute! I love your honesty and sincere love of what you love when you hear it. It’s kind of funny that I recall this song from when it originally came out and I haven’t listened to it in so long and hearing it again and seeing how you reacted to it I forgot that it’s another example of just how damn amazing ABBA were in the variety of the music sounds they recorded. BTW, you sure lose a lot of bananas 🍌 😂
Before they caled abba it is i song i like its people need love. Iam from sweden i big fan of abba. I seen them in sweden when I was junger.they soo much good.😂
this is what ABBA could've been if they were produced by Nile Rogers, "Waterloo" was the last of the original cassettes I got and was totally blown away by My Mama Said sadly Rutger Gunnarsson (Bass), Ola Brunkert (drums) and Malando Gassama (percussion) have now passed on
YES !!! .. I've asked Dereck many times to do this fantastic song, which I'm sure he'll love .. It's in my very top handful of ABBA songs, and quite possibly my favourite .. Hope he eventually checks it out ! 🤞🤞🤞
@@Lisa-MYou're right .. and what a great video it is !.. The official music video for this song is so joyful, and ABBA look very, very happy and young .. It suits the song perfectly .. Love it. 🥰
For me Waterloo and ABBA are their most interesting albums from a composition and writing standpoint. They were experimenting with different sounds and flavors and I think it worked. Even though my favorite ABBA albums are The Visitors, Super Trouper and Voulez-Vous, but Waterloo and ABBA are so interesting and different. Love this song! A real hidden gem.
I absolutely love their earlier work and admire how well they could assimilate different stylistic fingerprints into an ABBA melody. The boogie breakdown on this song is phenomenal. The crunch guitar of glam band Sweet can be heard in “King Kong Song”, the guitar licks in “I’ve Been WaitIng For You” are pure Eric Clapton, the funky synth line in “Man in the Middle” come straight from Stevie Wonder...even the breathy vocals on “Honey Honey” seem inspired by The Archies. To me it shows how knowledgeable and observant ABBA were to the musical climate at the time....paying homage and giving nods of approval to their peers.
One of my favorite ABBAsongs, yes it’s very funky, should have been a single , and I’d love to see a video from it, from back then in ‘74, or now. As far as the lyrics are concerned , when you are a teenager , your parents will always remind you that you are not grown, yet, lol ..
ABBA did what they wanted. They were a self contained indie band that did everything themselves. They had no corporate music industry puppeteers or overlords. ABBA had multiple sounds. People who know ABBA's entire catalogue know this. It is ABBA GOLD fans and the casual fans that have no idea of their output, particularly those from America. Also listen to the core fours solo stuff. Listen to B & B's ENTIRE catalogue -- 1966-present. This are the guys that wrote 'Kristina fran Duvemala', the operatic masterpiece that had the usual stuffy classical music critics gushing with praise calling it a masterpiece. A 39 song, 4+ hours staged. ABBA, since day one ABBA has had a high level of musicality musicianship and professionalism. If your not musically analytically minded, you missed. Many Americans missed it during the 70's, while the rest of the world recognized ABBA's greatness from day one.
A great song off this album is "Dance (While the Music Still Goes on)". A great song sang by the group, with Bjorn at the forefront and with some really heartfelt solo passages by Agnetha.
Remember this was in 1974 so they we're still evolving & finding their way but still a great song. Hey, Perhaps do a reaction to "Dance While The Music Still Goes On' from the same album, it's one of those rare songs that literally makes me both happy & sad at the same time plus that awesome key change towards the end.
When I heard this the first time while jogging I couldn't believe it's Abba. I thought Spotify changed from the Abba Greatest Hits album I was listening to to something else. I almost felt like I was listening to a modern hip hoppish funky track lol. It's really a great song!
To 9o procent I come here for the ABBA reactions,as good reactor as you are Dereck,it must be music that interest me to watch a reaction,and nothing is better then ABBA...its music on its own,elevated level,above everyone else. This funky,great hidden pearl,yes, Im repeating myself,but so many of their fantastic music is,for some strange reasons,hidden gems. And thats despite their tremendous world sucess. Which says alot. I hope you can go on an ABBA streak here again Dereck.. This song proves that ABBA also mastered funk,besides disco,pop,rock,and even heavy metal...they mastered it all..love this tune..
This one has never been one of my favourites, but it's good to hear the band experimenting with different styles and sounds right from the start of their career. It definitely has a menacing feel to it. My favourite from the 'Waterloo' album is 'Dance While The Music Still Goes On', which has a wonderful Phil Spector wall of sound, and really tugs at the heart-strings. I'd love to hear you react to that one!
Indeed one of their best songs and a great example for their versatility. Thanks so much for reacting to this! Would you please, please react to "Dead Or Alive - Something in my House"?
Known about it since the late 70's and it's one of my favourite songs.. And I go so bananas for it that I end up having my grapefruit and melons going out the window as well! Lol!
Thank you for another reaction These wasn't in my favourites of album "Waterloo", but is very good in your genre My Top 3 vote for a next reaction: Nina pretty ballerina Bang a Boomerang I've been waiting for You
Two days ago, I was searching youtube for reactions to this song. Nothing came up. But now, when I intended to get a nap, here it is. And my sleepiness went by. I will watch your reaction again and again.
Belongs to my playlist ever since... very cool funky sounds very underrated song that has rarely put on any compilation album... same goes for Gonna Sing You my Lovesong... very american Sound approach not so much Euro Pop... yep a hidden gem..
War schon in Sorge,dass Dereck keine ABBA Songs mehr kommentiert, da jetzt bestimmt 14 Tage nichts dabei war.🤷🤦 Umso größer war meine Freude,dass er sich gleich wieder einen "Alten" Song der vier Schweden vorgenommen hat!!!👍👍👍 Das war schon ein Kracher,ganz zu Anfang ihrer Karriere!!! 👏👏👏 Ebenso toll sind zB. Dance ( While The Music Still Goes On), Suzy Hang Around, What About Livingstone usw. 👌👌👌 Tolle Reaction von Dereck, ist immer wieder eine Freude, ihm zu zuschauen!!! 👁️👁️🤗 ✌️🙋‼️
Nina pretty ballerina has the same kind of base. Here you can also find part of lyrics for Dancing Queen, Thank you for the music and inspiration for the day before you came And maybe movie Black svan.
This is such a strong tune, backed by tight instrumentation - the first time I heard this song, when I worked my back to the "Waterloo" LP, in the late '70s., it didn't really "land" for me. But, for 1974, this is quite something - genuinely funky, probably as close to funk as ABBA got, at least until the disco vibe of "Voulez-Vous". A song that's grown on me as I've got older, but - as you and others have said - hidden away in the archive. And, it's a pity that the lyrics aren't more consistent: the excuse, I guess, is that they were still feeling their way with English lyrics for an English-speaking market at this stage...
I would like to suggest the ABBA song " Man in the middle",that is also a funky style like this one,I can strongly recommend it for a reaction Dereck.....
Thx for the nice reaction It was always also one of my favorites from the "Waterloo" album Some other very nice songs from this album "what about Livingstone and King Kong song" And the follow-up album "ABBA"....with the glamrock classic "Hey hey Helen"
Hi Dereck,i am so happy that you ABBA have to react.It is along time a go!thies words that you say is so ,i dont no how can i say its magie how to do it. Unbelievable for me!I love Abba so mush,and you Nature!I like you and what you say!Its Really Really good your reaction by Abba!Oh. Mein Gott i am happy😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😙😄🎉😘😘😘😘😘😘😘📣by the way Dream World is a very very good Song too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😘😘😘😘
To me, this is a jazzy and funky little pop piece. As I see it, these styles has very little to do with "hiphop" (that also wasn't invented in 1973/74).
This is indeed an early Abba gem with great musical genius and instrumentation. Early similar style of singing as in the beginning section of The Name of the Game. Would be interesting to hear ur reaction to Suzy Hang Around, sung by Benny (i think) on one their earlier albums also.
This is from the first album I owned, I was 7yo! In Sweden this band was considered decadent, cheap and morally lacking so I listened when nobody else was around. Even then I felt this track was in a league of its own, worlds better than the title track Waterloo, it felt really cool and forbidden, the bass to this day can't be beat and those ..xylophone sounds? are so glossy glossy.
@@guyinnyc1 They had no chance, because the zeitgeist was very socialistic, anti-materialistic, there was a musical movement called progg (not at all like progrock) and that was on purpose anti-ABBA, since it was opposed to things shiny, commercial and polished.

@@Tom_McMurtry I love "Thank You For The Music" too, but I think that it should be the last song which Dereck will react to. It's just the most suitable place for this song 😁🥰 to my mind of course 😇
"Who knows about this" you ask? Real ABBA fans that's who!
Ive always liked this song- A hidden Gem.
I've always liked this track. Loved their early stuff 👍

...and the distinctive use of the bass drum.
One of the best ABBA songs I ABBAsolutely love this song one of there very best
Abba still surprises me even after 45 years of being their fan. This funky haunting tune just amazes me up to a thrilling point. Tack så mycket!
Haha......your reactions are priceless! Keep the ABBA reactions coming...LOVE IT!!!

Thank you so much for reacting to ABBA again, I was missing those reactions sooo very much!! Thank you for the happiness you bring, Dereck! :)
I certainly agree, love from Lena
Finally, another Abba reaction :)
Clutching your pearls for dear life!! YES!!! So glad you enjoyed this one. Great reaction, Dereck! Thank you!!
The base on this is fantastic, has always sent shivers down my spine. Just another fantastic one 😀
BANG-A-BOOMERANG and THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC ……thanks Derek
Yes. I love Bang-A-Boomerang.
All love "bang a boomerang"
Proof that ABBA could rock (this song, Hey Hey Helen, Watch Out).
Omg finally!!! This is a real hidden gem!
I love the way you let yourself slip in ABBA 's songs.
How to choose my best one in ABBA's catalog ???? All is so good....🙄😂😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Never heard this before - it's great!
Try ABBA's Hard Rock - Hey Hey Helen. Fantastic!
would like a reaction on that one too!
Couldn’t agree more 👍
My favorite Group ABBA!! And you are the BEST,Dereck!!
el mejor. por siempre.
Always was an ABBA fan. But never heard this one. Great funky song. Thank you for this reaction.
ABBA GOLD and ABBA casual listers are always shocked when they finally listen to their album cuts.
Buy all their albums and listen with quality headphones.

You just keep on doing all my favourites and I love you clutching your pearls! As others have said try Hey Hey Helen soon.
This is a gem of a record. ♥
You should know by now ABBA's music always evolved nd moved on.
this is what ABBA could've been if they were produced by Nile Rogers,
"Waterloo" was the last of the original cassettes I got and was totally blown away by My Mama Said
sadly Rutger Gunnarsson (Bass), Ola Brunkert (drums) and Malando Gassama (percussion) have now passed on
Never heard it before. You open my eyes, or ears, for this one. Love your reactions!
"I am clutching my pearls for dear life" hahahaha brilliant Dereck. Love it!!!
Dereck You ALWAYS put a smile on my face when you discover what ABBA can REALLY do!. I love it!!!
Bang a bomerang ABBA 🙏🙏🙏

Benny is the whole multiple keyboard lines at the beginning and throughout! It's like organ and bells. You hear him you're just not focusing it.
One of my favorite ABBAsongs, yes it’s very funky, should have been a single , and I’d love to see a video from it, from back then in ‘74, or now. As far as the lyrics are concerned , when you are a teenager , your parents will always remind you that you are not grown, yet, lol ..
Thanks Dereck!! The Next Arrival please...
They tried every kind of genre in this Album trying to find their sound. This is a real beauty.
ABBA did what they wanted. They were a self contained indie band that did everything themselves. They had no corporate music industry puppeteers or overlords.
ABBA had multiple sounds. People who know ABBA's entire catalogue know this. It is ABBA GOLD fans and the casual fans that have no idea of their output, particularly those from America.
Also listen to the core fours solo stuff.
Listen to B & B's ENTIRE catalogue -- 1966-present.

"Gonna Sing You My Lovesong" is great too!
I have been wanting you to react to this song for so long. You are a great bass proponent. So this song is all about the bass. Kidding.
Remember this was in 1974 so they we're still evolving & finding their way but still a great song. Hey, Perhaps do a reaction to "Dance While The Music Still Goes On' from the same album, it's one of those rare songs that literally makes me both happy & sad at the same time plus that awesome key change towards the end.

War schon in Sorge,dass Dereck keine ABBA Songs mehr kommentiert, da jetzt bestimmt 14 Tage nichts dabei war.🤷🤦
Umso größer war meine Freude,dass er sich gleich wieder einen "Alten" Song
der vier Schweden vorgenommen hat!!!👍👍👍
Das war schon ein Kracher,ganz zu Anfang ihrer Karriere!!! 👏👏👏
Ebenso toll sind zB.
Dance ( While The Music Still Goes On), Suzy Hang Around, What About Livingstone usw. 👌👌👌
Tolle Reaction von Dereck,
ist immer wieder eine Freude, ihm zu zuschauen!!!
👁️👁️🤗 ✌️🙋‼️
Pls react to "Dance (while the music still goes on)" and "I am just a girl" You will surely love it.
ABBA!!!
Hey Derek- a great song - check out “Hey Hey Helen” from the 1975 album called “Abba” -
Well Abba fans know about this dereck! 😜
At least, I have waited
a long time, Dereck!
Nina pretty ballerina has the same kind of base. Here you can also find part of lyrics for Dancing Queen, Thank you for the music and inspiration for the day before you came And maybe movie Black svan.
I wish there was a longer version.
Next “I’ve Been Waiting For You” 💖💖
Dear Derek 👉 "One Night in Bangkok" (Murray Head ). Absolutely Essential :)
This is such a strong tune, backed by tight instrumentation - the first time I heard this song, when I worked my back to the "Waterloo" LP, in the late '70s., it didn't really "land" for me. But, for 1974, this is quite something - genuinely funky, probably as close to funk as ABBA got, at least until the disco vibe of "Voulez-Vous".

And, it's a pity that the lyrics aren't more consistent: the excuse, I guess, is that they were still feeling their way with English lyrics for an English-speaking market at this stage...
I had totally forgot about this one. Totally okay!
I hope that the next one you react to is "I've Been Waiting For You". It's such a beautiful song.
Why wasn't this track a bigger hit? It's fantastic!
I would like to suggest the ABBA song " Man in the middle",that is also a funky style like this one,I can strongly recommend it for a reaction Dereck.....
That's another hidden ABBA gem for sure and i agree it's very funky!! Glad i'm not the only one to like it!!
Thx for the nice reaction
It was always also one of my favorites from the "Waterloo" album
Some other very nice songs from this album "what about Livingstone and King Kong song"
And the follow-up album "ABBA"....with the glamrock classic "Hey hey Helen"
Erasure did crazy Abba-esque songs, superb
Benny was playing Rodes Piano
Hi Dereck,i am so happy that you ABBA have to react.It is along time a go!thies words that you say is so ,i dont no how can i say its magie how to do it.

Doesn't sound like most Abba songs that's true!

One of my favs and I AM sure I suggested it to you ones. Like that you should listen to watch out!!!! ;) XD
MAN IN THE MIDDLE is kinda funky too. check it out.
One of the best songs on that album.
Ooooooh! My Marmoset! Lol
It is on my playlist as well
This is indeed an early Abba gem with great musical genius and instrumentation. Early similar style of singing as in the beginning section of The Name of the Game. Would be interesting to hear ur reaction to Suzy Hang Around, sung by Benny (i think) on one their earlier albums also.
Try Susy hangaround. Benny leadvocal.
Watchout is almost Black Sabbath Metallica type vibe.

This is from the first album I owned, I was 7yo! In Sweden this band was considered decadent, cheap and morally lacking so I listened when nobody else was around. Even then I felt this track was in a league of its own, worlds better than the title track Waterloo, it felt really cool and forbidden, the bass to this day can't be beat and those ..xylophone sounds? are so glossy glossy.
So fascinating how sweden back then looked down on Abba as cheesy and cheap. Agree this is an amazing funky gem. Timeless.
@@guyinnyc1 They had no chance, because the zeitgeist was very socialistic, anti-materialistic, there was a musical movement called progg (not at all like progrock) and that was on purpose anti-ABBA, since it was opposed to things shiny, commercial and polished.

I'm so glad that you've already reacted to so many ABBA masterpieces and there is still so many hidden gems that you'll love it 😁 I can't wait to see your next ABBA reaction 🥰 Especially "Tiger" (I'm not saying anything 🤭)
Plenty of great ones left! I vote for thank you for the music, two for the price of one and you owe me one as the next three!
@@Tom_McMurtry I love "Thank You For The Music" too, but I think that it should be the last song which Dereck will react to. It's just the most suitable place for this song 😁🥰 to my mind of course 😇
@@mrfantastic8451 I'm not sure I'm patient enough! :p
@@Tom_McMurtry yeah, I completly understand you 😁😅
Great use of stereo !
Derect plse review Abba's instrumental Arrival and Intermezzo
Every ABBA song is a masterpiece! 😁 Check out Tiger and you owe me one next
The verses remind me of The Runner by The Three Degrees. Very funky.
