    One of the most complex songs of their early years, let alone of their entire catalogue. At least three or four songs in one masterful arrangement, foreshadowing Benny and Björn’s ambitions beyond the classic 3-minute pop song. Classic ABBA craftsmanship at its best.

    Just in case you’ve wondered why ABBA had so many actual music videos back in the ‘70s, even the early ‘70s, when other groups didn’t (or at least very rarely): Because of their physical location in Sweden, and because Sweden wasn’t known as a mass producer of popular music on the worldwide stage, it was extremely hard for Swedish groups to get noticed, so they quite literally pioneered the use of music videos as a marketing tool. Obviously, it was long before MTV and long before the artistic, high-budget, polished videos we see now. Some of their videos are very simple, some more intricate, some downright silly - but it’s how they were able to reach out to the world in a way no one else had ever accomplished. It was a novel way they could export their look and sound to countries around the world, far from the isolation of Sweden, and get noticed and grow their brand-and it worked. They really deserve much of the credit for pioneering something that’s taken for granted today!

      The game referred to is a growing relationship between a shy introverted woman and her therapist,. She's only visited him a few times, but he seems to completely understand her and 'see through' her - he can teach her a lot about herself - she's falling in love with him and asking if he can reciprocate - he can't do so because he is a professional - but she naively doesn't realise this restriction.

    "The name of the game"
    these is an extraordinary song by ABBA, which has many peculiarities:
    1) I think it's the first in which each of the girls sings a verse as lead voice
    2) the official video was recorded at the blonde Agnetha & blonde Björn's home,
    because Agnetha was very late in her second pregnancy
    (that's why maybe she's sitting and cared for in the picture)
    3) "The name of the game" was released in October 1977,
    two month before "ABBA The Album" and the movie "ABBA The Movie"
    It was a bold gamble from ABBA, it opened their horizons and spread beyond pop.
    I think that "The name of the game" (1977)
    have some vibs of influences of BEATLES songs like "Penny Lane" or "Fool on the hill" (1967)
    curiosly, "The name of the game" was #1 in UK (4 weeks)
    and replaced in the #1 for "Mull of Kintyre" by Paul McCartney (ex-BEATLES member)
    "The name of the game"
    is in my opinion a masterpiece
    one of the Seven Wonders of ABBA (in chronological order):
    Waterloo
    S.O.S
    Dancing Queen
    The name of the game
    Chiquitita
    The winner takes it all
    Don't shut me down
    You have fantastic songs in "The Album" (1977) to react, ABBA's most versatile album:
    "Eagle" almost 6 minutes amazing
    Take a chance on me (the banger hit)
    "One man one woman" (beauty ballad)
    "Move on" (fantástic chorus)
    "Hole in your soul" (powerful rock)
    included a mini musical from 1977 Tour:
    "Thank you for the music" (ABBA hymn)
    "I wonder" (dramatic ballad)
    "I'm a marionette" (progresive rock)
    I hope to see you soon in more ABBA videos
    A big hug from
    Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
    South America
    PS: at the time of the official video (1977)
    the blonde singer Agnetha and the guitarist Björn was married since 1971,
    with one child in 1973 and in pregnancy of their second child
    (the only official video with Her pregnant)
    the brunette singer Frida and the bearded keyboardist Benny was engaged
    and living together since 1969
    and married next year 1978

I don't know what Ludo is either, but it looked a lot like a marbles board game we played when I was a kid. Of course, in the song, "name of the game" is figurative, asking the person being sung to "what are your true intentions in this relationship with me?" Such a beautiful song! Love ABBA! :)

      It's still a bit surreal sometimes. I sort of liked it when they weren't popular because it made me feel like they were my unique thing and that I didn't go along with the crowd. When friends would dismiss them as a "disco" band I knew that, sure they incorporated elements of disco but that they were so much more and felt a bit sorry for those friends in a "you don't know what you are missing" way. Fast forward to now and not only was I right at the time about how great they were, but they have stood the test of time in the way very few musicians have. As big a fan as I was and am - I didn't really expect that, yet I don't find it surprising. Amber explained it I think when she noted that you can't really assign their music a genre. They incorporated so much with such high production levels that most of it escapes sounding dated.

    Their songs are really easy to listen to, but as all the people who have acted and sung them in the hit show; MAMA MIA! will say; those songs, are FAR more difficult to sing, than you realise, until you actually do it. That’s because of the range of octaves required. Once you get some lyrics and then try to sing any of their songs, you all of sudden realise that they are even BETTER than you thought. This is one of the most intricate arrangements and as you both pointed out, there is a little bvit of everything there. ABBA’s genius is that they make it look easy. This is just a video of course, but the fact is that at some stage they actually play and sing exactly what you’re hearing. If you get to see some live footage of them (and there is quite a bit out there) you can see that they hardly ever seem to be under any kind of stress vocally.

    You still have only scratched the surface. They did glam rock, show tune, reggae, psychedelic, disco and about every other genre. And did them all to perfection. The girls even took a year (they wanted the pronunciations perfect) to do a Spanish album of their hits. It was/is a huge seller. Every member is hugely talented and their all perfectionist.

    As you know after 40 years ABBA came back with the "Journey" The one song that stands out is "I still have Faith in You" A combination Ballad and Anthem style masterpiece that states the feeling of getting back together and putting out more music. As the song is song and the video plays you realize that it is the pinnacle of a simply yet unbeatable combination of video, vocal, and emotional elements. It brings the ABBA journey full circle. It is the story of ABBA getting together, stardom, heart ache, break up, lasting friendship, and here we are back together again.

    There are 2 kinds of people: Those that LOVE ABBA and those that don't admit they LOVE ABBA!!!
    With that said, this song is a masterpiece. Vocally, technically, musically, it's just brilliant. The band sounds great and that sound enhanced greatly by the gorgeous voices of Agnetha and Frida with the boys lending their voices in the harmonies.
    Can't wait to see what other ABBA gems you discover.
