open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... 
Кино
Recorded in 1975
Released globally in 1976
Topped the US charts in 1977
Still a bop in 2023.
True/still a bop in 2123.
Abba have estimated sales of over 400 millions (not to menrion the huge amount of weeklly streaming they get each week by new Gens streamers aged 16-35 that's phenomenal for 'a sort of non-active band') as got officially anounced for once more, a couple of days ago also by BPI in the UK.BPI also gave them a special award for this phenomenal occassion.Abba is second best selling band only topped by The Beatles.
@@christianoazzuro6711 You do mean 2023, LOL
@@simon2077 ha!ha!i guess will still be a bop in a 100 years time from now.
@@alexioverdo5225 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Tha last line deserves even more thumbs up, WAY UP!
They were pop royalty in the 70’s. Hit after hit, they ruled the pop airwaves. But, if you were a teenage male, you could not be caught dead listening to them. Just not cool.
(We all did secretly, and sang along ).
Now that I’m older, and not quite as much of a musical snob, I blast it in my car whenever I hear them.
Still sounds great.
I didn't give s $hit. I listened to them proudly. Bought their albums and sang to all the songs. ✌
I ridiculed them mercilessly and anyone who listened to them
Then locked the bathroom door and sang my heart out to this song choking on tears 😂
@@brucedillinger9448 lol!YES SIR!
Back in the 90's I played HARD rock. But even my friends from back then all agree that ABBA had kill melody and arrangements. An amazing band. (and hey, if girls knew you liked ABBA you were already halfway home!)
T rue...that😂
You cannot deny that Benny and Bjorn are phenomenal song writers.
Yes!
Quintessential "S" tier. So emotional, so joyous. Huge smile while tearing up at the same time. A truly immortal song.
possibly ear-gasmic body reaction,lol.
This is proof Disco itself wasn't bad in general... it was the deluge of bad songs. It could be done amazingly well like ABBA and the Bee Gees did it.
Excellent point right here!
Absolutely!
100%. I think the disco backlash was a misfire. It made all dance music electronic, which I do enjoy a lot of, but I also love the amazing and very human playing on songs like this, the Bee Gees disco hits, and Chic's "Good Times". Nile Rodgers has now played that Strat on billions of dollars worth of hit songs.
Donna Summer did it right, also...
@@ischmidt I think some of it wasn't backlash from the music. Some of it was backlash from the trendoids that gravitated towards the scene itself. All of the plastic people making sure you knew they were getting in Studio 54 and you weren't.
ABBA is impeccably written, performed and produced 70s pop that never tried to be anything that it wasn't. It is genre music of the highest quality. "SOS", "The Winner Takes it All", "Knowing Me Knowing You" are all favorites.
SOS is one of my favorites
Waterloo FTW
Fernando!
@@David-iv6je Agreed.
'never tries to be anything that it wasn't'...absolutely. And rock media critics criticised them for being pop so what?!They were honest.They were a pop music band.Exceptional.
ABBA music is its own genre, a mix of European pop/rock, spanish flamenco guitar music, Greek folk songs and yes a strong infusion of clsssic music and chords. Voila, ABBA. So good that they have done one Broadway play and 2 joyous movies with a virtual all star line up of actors. All wanted to get their shot at ABBA songs.Why. Because they are GOATS. Sweden's divine gift to modern music.
I'm ecstatic that you're branching out so much. I'm a solid classic rock guy, but every genre of music is valid, it's not about the style, it's about the execution and when disco is done right it's as good as anything else.
Kings and Queens of POP! I thought they were so uncool in the 70’s, but now I have an emotional nostalgic connection with them. You can’t deny their staying power.
Same I was snarling little punk 🎉 in elementary school Sex Pistols The Ramones
Now they came full circle the really powerful ear worm 🪱 chorus
That is the beauty of true pop music. The best never goes out of style. We are still singing popular music from the 1800's. Some ABBA will have that kind of staying power.
As a Swede I still remember seeing the band performing this song live on TV during the celebrations that took place when our current King married his Queen.
He, I kind of still hate them. Absolutely not my kind of music and it was impossible to avoid them here in Sweden. But I can be a bit nostalgic about them when I hear metal covers of them.
@@ragulper haha I hear you, yeah. But the fact that they have and are still being covered by artists from such varied genres, just goes to show what a hold they still have.
The most famous ABBA song that absolutely everyone knows. Iconic disco track.
Except for Alex until now, hahaha!
Well, everyone knows it now! Welcome aboard Alex😎
Women in particular love this song. I guarantee that if it starts playing in a club or a bar while you're on a date, the woman you're with will practically pull your arm out of its socket dragging you out onto the dance floor the moment they hear Benny Andersson's opening piano glissando.
Mamma mia and Chiquita.
God bless Sweden!
More ABBA please. The girls voices are stellar! ❤️
Cant state how huge this song was back in the day. You couldn't go amywhere without hearing this song. It's definitely an earworm for sure. Pure nostalgia for me 🙂
YES! It was a staple for me when I had my mobile deejay business and it never failed to pack the dance floor.
Yes in the UK you could not escape this song at the time and I’m sure that was the same for a lot of the world.
One of the greatest songs of all-time. ABBA had so many amazing songs and Dancing Queen stands above them all.
The Winner Takes it All. The most heartbreaking song ever. Abba is a vibe.
It’s a great song
For real.
Hey Julia,there is only one song more heartbraking,Either Way,by Chris Stapleton!💔😭Check it out!
Rutger Gunnarrson plays an amazing bass part in this.
Everything else is so defined and deliberate, and the bass just freewheels but with purpose and feel. It’s a masterclass in bass.
R.I.P. Rutger
Everytime I hear this song it's the bass I end up listening to, everything else fades slightly to the background
Rutger Gunnarsson - a true bass legend 🌟🙌 Also listen to his insanely funky bass in Voulez-vous
Abba was known for having complex, groundbreaking production to go along with their great melodies, catchy choruses and and gorgeous syncopated harmonies.
This iconic song by ABBA was their first and only #1 song in the US billboard hot 100 back in 1977. Probably their biggest single world wide! I'm so glad y'all liked it 😊
meanwhile in the UK Abba had nine No1 songs in the chart including Dancing Queen.
Waterloo and SOS should have been number one songs as well.
It is but ABBA actually didn't do that many Disco songs, contrary to popular belief they weren't a disco band.
Much more reflective of ABBA are tracks like "The winner takes it all, ""Name of the game." "Eagle," "Fernando" "SOS," "Super trouper" and many others none of which are disco.
Indeed. And it's one of the greatest musical crimes of the past century. People say ABBA never really broke in America because they didn't tour enough there,
but there's only so much you can blame on that. They never toured at all in South America, for example, and they were HUGE there...
@@thejoyofthemusicinmylife7897 Absolutely. Both are amazing songs. "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is up there as well.
As a Swede i feel kinda proud that you guys liked the song, it plays on the radio all the time over hear and it's just so good! The next ABBA song should be "Lay all your love on me" or "Voulez-Vous", Both are great songs!
I am Dutch, even I am proud LOL. They were super popular in the Netherlands as well. Coincidently I recommended the exact same songs.
@@drbvo9578 Haha that's awesome dude, glad to hear it! Yeah they are both real bangers, i hope they get around and listen to them soon!
I've always been proud to be from where I'm from, but after some deep thought, it makes no logical sense. Pride in something you had nothing to do with just seems so ridiculous now. I'm not complaining or being negative here at all. It applies to me as well, of course. I just find it to be a strange and interesting concept. It's still there, inside me. When my favorite team wins, when someone I know or a relative achieves something. Tribalism, I suppose. Which would tie it to survival instinct, I believe. Anyway, something to think about.
I had a couple of ABBA albums when I was a kid. Great band!
@@mikemorgan5015 That's an interesting thought man, deep in a way. I feel you. Great to hear! I learnd to listen to them by my parents!
@@Sirpalmbranch Cool! You gave me a couple of songs to look up. Pretty sure they will be familiar though the titles don't ring a bell at the moment. Haha! I'm getting old.....
This is 100% my favorite ABBA song. I have a very vivid memory of floating out of the disco club late one night in the ‘70s with two of my best friends - drunk and stoned - while this song was blasting out from the club to the parking lot. We were singing it at the top of our lungs. I think we were probably about 21 or 22 years old. It’s one of those moments in time that you just never forget.
If ever there was an S-tier song, this is it. You simply cannot write a greater song than this. This is the blueprint for musical quality.
Yes the "perfect" pop song....abba-solutely fantastic ! 😮
S-tier and you missed the best part. Watching the girls sing this is magic, absolutely beautiful!
Dag, you got that right!!
Hey mrbill250,yes indeed.Actually imo The most beautiful flowers in the garden of the musicverse!
Watching the girls wearing their Cat dresses was wonderful!
So many of us "rockers" guilty pleasure in the 70's. We could never admit we liked ABBA in 1977. Now, I turn it up and sing along, every. single. time.
Truth !
Sorry..... so wrong
Shoot, in the 80s in my junior high, you'd get beat up for admitting to liking ABBA.
@@michlkwitz -- But really everyone loved it!
I admitted it. And proudly. ✌
ABBA has to be the most versatile group I’ve listened to. They’ve done damn near every genre and nails it every time, it’s crazy! My favourite song by them though is *Chiquitita* - a very grand and big folk/pop song that is somehow also a ballad?...it’s just so good.
Every genre? Rock, rock and roll, jazz, metal and so on. Man, you are a genious😂
@@fitless that’s why I said “damn near” every genre. Don’t take everything so literally. They most certainly have done rock and roll and prog rock songs. Shit even reggae.
I think you misspelled genius btw.
I wasn’t much of an ABBA fan when they first were popular but as time has gone by I have really developed an appreciation for their music. Great talents, great music.
Wow! This reminds me of 8th grade roller skating at the roller rink on Saturday nights. I remember holding hands with my crush while this song played during the couples skate. I know I’m dating myself but, it was a simpler, more innocent time. I appreciate that you young guys like it!
Yes! 5th grade for me, though…
Everytime you hear this you realize, not only how incredible the song is, but how incredible the ladies vocals are! Strong, powerful, emotive. Love it m
I saw an interview with Benny and Bjorn where they talk about how they haven't ever heard two voices that complement each other more than Anni-Frid and Agnetha
So satisfying to see both of you captured by this music like many of us did in our time... nice!!!
Respect to you both for recognizing the impeccable writing, production, and musicianship of this song. I remember in the 80s--after punk and new wave and early rap--when songs like this and "Bohemian Rhapsody" were looked down on as bombastic, overproduced, uncool, unserious, etc. I'm happy that groups like ABBA and ELO are getting a fresh look from your generation and getting the respect they deserve.
I don’t think I’ve seen you two enjoy a song more. Lol. ❤
Watch them do Earth Wind and Fire… Let’s Groove And CCR Born On A Bayou. They loved those also. Rewatch all the time. 😊
@@dianegoldeneye7207 @Christine Waide Someday, I hope someone does a compilation of, say, the Top 10 greatest A&A reactions ever. There would be some debate, of course, but it would be a fun debate to have.
Alex was BOPPING around so much he had to give it an S
This was such a feel good moment.
@@dianegoldeneye7207 Goodbye Stranger by Supertramp is their video I return to most. "Orange Slice!"
This is the ultimate pop song of all time. It’s spanned so many generations and still going.
I don't think I've clicked on a video faster in my life. I am a hardcore rock and roll fan, former lifelong drummer, and I love, love, love this song. Have played it at many a wedding.
Their pop sensibilities are second to none.. What a classic! Dancing Queen will outlive us all
For your next ABBA song, I think I'd go with "Waterloo", but if that's the first choice, "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is a close second.
I vote for "Knowing Me Knowing You" or "SOS"
S O S is the best
What about THE NAME OF THE GAME? Nobody every mentions that song. It's my favorite Abba jam!
@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 I mentioned it, lol. After Andy & Alex had checked out "Take A Chance On Me".
It's a great song indeed. But everyone's got their own ABBA favourites of course. I would also seriously consider "I'm A Marionette" and "The Day Before You Came". There's plenty of good listening though. I might not love everything they did, but I like them since... long. Since I was a little kid. Both my first single and album were by ABBA. Still have them.
Forget S tier song, ABBA is an S tier group.
This song NEVER gets old. 🎶🎼💙👸
First off, FUCK YES! I was shocked that your reaction to Take A Chance On Me was so lukewarm. Only as an adult (I'm 48) have I realized the absolute fucking BRILLIANCE that is ABBA.
Frida one of the female lead singers does a solo song “(I know there’s ) Something Going On”- New wave, still the great singing and it has a parenthetical title
This song - and your reaction to it - just makes me giddy! Thank y'all so much. 🙂❤
This song is a sensory overload as the strings come in and lift it just when you are already on the rollercoaster.......just sublime
To me the best part of this song is the triumphant piano chords during the dancing queen section. Plus the singing!
We're in 2023 and still tapping our feet and singing along. Imagine how big it was when it came out, with people rushing to the dancefloor or turning the volume of the car radio to 11 :) This was 47 years ago. Man did they know how to write a great pop song. Dancing Queen and Stayin' Alive have to be 2 of the top 3 disco songs of all time.
In 2007 I took my wife to London…..her first time. We saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. The Royal band played Dancing Queen. It was wonderful… and obviously came as a Shocking surprise.
Its far from unknown for Dancing Queen to be played by whichever forces band "has the duty" at the daily Changing of the Guard ceremonyin the outer courtyard of the Royal Palace in Stockholm.
I'm a metal-head and ABBA is my guilty pleasure! Brilliant 70s dance brilliance!
S-Tier all day long. Such a monster hit for ABBA. Actually, everything they put out was S-Tier. They were everyone’s guilty pleasure back in the day. The Swede’s 100% know how to craft a perfect pop record. So many great songs to come out of that country. All the way from ABBA to Max Martin to Dennis Pop. Amazingly talented people.
I took pleasure from listening to them and loving them, feeling no guilt, not caring who knew, not giving a s**t who might disapprove.
Roxette,Secret Service,Cardigans,Europe and Jussi Björling and so on
Very fun. Glad you liked it. The hit that put them on the map was "Waterloo," which won the Eurovision song contest in the 70s. You should check that song out.
I cannot stress how much my mom & dad played ABBA 'round the house with this tune stuck in my head, especially after my sister was born! Slipping Through My Fingers next!
This song is one of the best things about life.
60's and 70's had the best music of all time. Glad that this platform is affording all you youngsters the opportunity to experience it.
Alex and Andy reacting to ABBA, do more, it'll be a joy.
A really solid song that shows not all the disco back then fluff. Well written, well produced and well executed.
After having kind of a rough day, seeing Andy & Alex bob to this song made my day.😊 As a teenager, this was pure cheese to me, lol. Now I'm old enough to appreciate the musical genius of ABBA. Next up should be another banger of theirs, "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)". Even Madonna begged to sample this one.
It gives a swell of pride to see the next generation enjoying Abba's music. I grew up with their music, ridiculed for doing so but 30yrs later their music is still very much relevant. Keep up the good work boys.
Fun fact: Abba remains Sweden’s highest grossing export to this day!
Don't know if they will ever be eclipsed by Ghost, seems unlikely, but another great Swedish export nonetheless.
Not true!! SAAB are.. abba are 2nd...
Maybe one day Cash Jordan will be Sweden's best product. Course he was born in New York but he is the funniest non -comedian ever on RUclips. Back to Abba, they're ok. Ikea, not bad idea. Ingemar Johansson, aannh! Floyd Patterson took care of him.
Ingrid Bergman, gorgeous!!
"Here's looking at you, kid!"
I don't have a SAAB story, sorry!
The song that sparked a lifelong love of music in me when I first heard it when I was ten years old. Simply gorgeous. Two of the purest, most beautiful singing voices in music history. You must listen to ABBA's The Winner Takes It All and SOS next. As good or better than Dancing Queen.
Yep. "SOS" is a song so good that Pete Townshend, of all people, raved about it to anyone who would listen when it was released.
ABBA is eternal.
I just want to let you guys know that I wait on the days you're dropping these reactions to listen in the car on the way home from work. You literally took me out of my seat and I was floating while listening to you experience this definitive ABBA song. There aren't too many songs that feel like the first time each time you listen, but this is surely one of them. My heart still swells, every time. Here's to being 17 forever. 💃❤
Beautifully written. Captures exactly what I was feeling.
I graduated High School in ‘76 and this is as fresh sounding now as it was then. S.O.S. is still my favorite, especially their live performance on Saturday Night Live.
Yes! S.O.S. is my top pick, too! 👌
Oh so good. One of the greatest pop songs in history. Inarguably S tier.
Thanks. On a related note, great songs can be successfully made cross-genre. I once heard the great Dwight Yoakam claim this--on an npr interview I believe--and broke out with his guitar on air with a killer country-rockabilly style version of this song. It was so cool.
Loved Alex getting his disco groove on. Thanks guys ! This made me smile !
Love it! The Winner Takes It All next for sure. Her unbelievable voice, her phrasing/accent, the chord changes, a beautiful gut punch every time I hear it.
This. And when you realize that her ex-husband (who remarried within a year of their divorce) wrote the song, it's even more of a gut punch.
I remember watching a documentary on Abba where they played the instrumental of Dancing Queen and I didn't realise how beautiful the song was until then
Benny tells the story that when he played the instrumental track for Frida, she cried because it was so beautiful.
Oh guys you’ve literally just made my day 😃 thank youuuu!!
I love that you guys went "S" on Dancing Queen! You can't stay in a bad mood when this song is playing. It is pretty perfect.
A lot of people referred to ABBA as a "guilty pleasure" band. I, however, have never felt guilty about loving ABBA.
Same has been said of the Bee Gees, both bands are amazingly talented.
You need to listen to their new release, 40+ years later- "Don't shut me down" off their album "Voyage".
Abba have loads of pop classics but, imho, their very best work comes towards the end of their catalogue. Give a listen to 'The Winner Takes It All', 'The Visitors' and, my personal favourite, 'The Day Before You Came'. All brilliant tunes, beautifully produced and heavily laced with that perfect Swedish melancholy! :) Earlier tracks that are well worth a listen include 'SOS' and 'Knowing Me, Knowing You'. :)
That big sound, reminds me of the "wall of sound" effect many big bands of the 60s, thrived on. Agnetha and Frida, are so underrated as singers these ladies are legends in their own right.
LOVE the big PWISH of the opened hi-hats on this song on 4 of basically every other bar in the verses. This is FOR SURE their signature piece. Love it.
I was raised on classic rock, hard rock and heavy metal but there is something about ABBA that I can’t shake. Their music is infectious! You can’t help but dance when you hear this. They are my guilty pleasure 👍❤️
This song was such a monster newbie sound when it came out in '76. I think it gave birth to a disco baby right there on the dance floor.
You guys are finally realizing what radio was like in the 70s...classic rock, wichita lineman, margaritaville, dancing queen...all day long, everyone loving it all. Now you need to hit the Spinners!
I remember when I was a kid, and this came out. My family went to see "Jaws" at the drive-in theater and they used to play music on the speaker remotes before the movie. The first time I heard them. There's an aura to ABBA'a music. You absolutely know its them in 10 seconds.
This was so fun watching you both vibe out to "Dancing Queen". Thanks guys !
This is such a " girlfriends" song. Almost every wedding I have been to in the last 20 years has played it and usually the bride and her bridesmaids are dancing together.
Used throughout Firefly Lane. So good.
The blueprint of our lives. Everyone would hit the dance floor, dance with that guy, dance your heart out, have fun.
ABBA and Donna Summer were my favorite groups growing up in the 1970s. "Dancing Queen" is truly a timeless classic and works nearly as well today as it did in the mid-seventies. ABBA created catchy pop-disco songs that were melodic, inspired, gorgeous melodies and the ladies voices sound pristine. They had a number of hits in the '70s mostly, and some in the '80s. They were hugely popular if I recall, but it kind of snuck up on us over the years how solid their music was that they had such staying power even decades later.
As a heavyrock fan I can still appreciate ABBA because they were the best in the world and they produced so many classic instantly recognisable songs .
ABBA gets flak & hate for being disco or "brainless" bubblegum pop, but they totally transcend those genre labels into musical magic that is, quite simply, fun.
They also have so many hits that it's hard to pick just one out of their deep, deep well to be next. Perhaps Waterloo or Mamma Mia (if you want something even more upbeat & peppy than this) or Winner Takes It All (if you want something more melancholy yet also very emotionally powerful).
Oh, I almost forgot-- listen to "Does Your Mother Know" if you want to try a song where the _men_ sing lead!
I love Waterloo!
It's really the opposite of Bubblegum, Bubblegum loses its flavor in a few minutes. this song is Eternal.
I vouch for "SOS" for their next ABBA choice. "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is right up there, too; it's one of the greatest breakup songs to ever hit the Top 40.
@@gregsager2062 both huge no1's in Europe and even more.
This song was so big, you can't even imagine. ABBA were so big, and I also looove the way that Frida goes low in the verses. Low highlights!
Incredibly great pop dance recording. Listening for decades, and I always hear musical surprises. I can’t really dance but this makes me want to fly.
The only thing missing from this reaction is seeing Alex get up and boogie!
Lol. Great reaction. It's indeed an "S". Check out a completely different Abba style with Eagle. And of course SOS (perhaps the best psp song ever written).
ABBA, the guilty pleasure of rockers everywhere, the group they turn up when no one else is around. My mom and older sister listened to them, which meant I had to listen to them as well. You can put the hate on them all you want, but their songs were well written and well performed, with silky vocals by singers who didn't need autotune.
I bought the single as a kid,think I was 14,even though I was already hooked on Bowie and pink Floyd, I have to say that ABBA touched us all.
S.O.S has got to be next please. It’s a perfect song 🖤
One of those infectious songs that you can’t get out of your head and gets you to dance to!
4:58 "This is so good" That thought hits us all at the point when we finally 'get' ABBA.
Easily one of the best songs ever written and I'm am one of those who used to cringe at the thought of ABBA when i was young(they were considered a bit of a joke 'kids band' during their career)
Love ABBA - Gimme Gimme Gimme - Knowing Me Knowing You - The Winner Takes it All - Fernando - SOS - Waterloo - Take a Chance on me, and many many more!! Two Swedish couples also that got divorced in the middle of their career, Famous all over the World! Huge in the 70's and many Broadway shows and movies were made!
Abba is incredible
Shocked by how much you liked this. I’m not a huge fan, but I admit that SOS is an irresistible song.
They didn't love it as much as they made it seem. This S-Tier rating was a makeup call for having bashed, "Take A Chance On Me".
ABBA were my first concert ever!! I was nearly 15 and they were my favourite band (next to Queen) and I was lucky enough to get to meet them and even kiss Anna on the cheek!! I still have the signed album and tour program. Dancing Queen naturally was a highlight of the show! ABBA were MASSIVE in Australia at the time. Beatlemania massive.
The Sydney Morning Herald headline the day they landed in Australia for the tour was simply "THEYRE HERE" because everyone knew who they were. They had 3 songs in the top 10 at that time. There were ABBA records, tshirts, socks, tea towels, pillowcases, dolls, bubblegum cards etc etc. Transfers in the big daily newspapers. Everyone wanted in on the action.
Fernando had been number 1 for 14 weeks at a time when that was a BIG deal. At the time they estimated 1 in 4 Australian households had a copy of The Best Of ABBA and ARRIVAL (which had Dancing Queen and Fernando). 46 years later they are as big as ever - except the US has finally caught on :)
So glad you loved the immaculate songcraft of Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus and the delicious vocals of Agnetha Faltskog and Anna-Frid Lyngstad. Theres lots more where that came from. Try Knowing Me, Knowing You or SOS or Winner Takes It All for a start. Have fun guys! :)
Have you seen "Muriel's Wedding"? You must have!
@@scottboswell6406 oh absolutely. I own it on DVD and also Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Both of which were part of the rebirth of ABBA in the 90s. Great movies
in 1978 i wore a tee shirt that said "death before disco". 45 years later i'm still not a disco fan,but i can appreciate this song from a nostalgic viewpoint. it conjures up fond memories of high school,and some of my best summers ever. so i guess from that perspective disco has a place in my life.
This is their zenith. There are many more brilliant ABBA songs, but nothing touches this. I danced to it when it came out and felt nothing but pure joy.
ABBA are as good as a pop band can be. Many people suggest SOS and The Winner Takes it All next and I heartily agree. Pete Townsend said SOS was the song he wished written it was so good.
You make me smile. The joyfulness of your reaction reflects the joyfulness of the music. Sheer happiness. This takes me back to the late 70s, twirling around in my grandmother’s living room.
Abba slaps hard. Alex’s anologies. 😂 must be scientific! Disco musics finest. Everyone hit the dance floor. Happy hump day everyone. Thanks A&A.
ABBA was my first concert. Still love them. I think I have all of their albums!
Here's the ultimate live version as was filmed in feverish 1977 in front of an explosive crowd of mixed ages between '6 to 66'.Boy at 0.05 is rumoured to be a young FLEA of RHCPeppers in his teenage years from Down Under

@@alexioverdo5225 Great video, thank you!
Guys. I think it's so cool that you're willing to dive into so many different styles of music. And you appreciate all the really good shit.
Polka with a catchy beat, they were awesome, there's no such thing as a bad ABBA song, I didn't appreciate how great they were back then because well, like many of us, we were rock snobs and we just didn't know better, same thing with the Carpenters, just didn't realize the raw talent and ABBA....and every male on the planet had the hots for Agnetha Fältskog though Anni-Frid Lyngstad wasn't so bad either....I'll save you the trouble, just grab ABBA Gold the video edition and just let it consume you because it will. The lyrics are so clever and thoughtful and they have the happiest sad songs ever.
Frida was the Dancing Queen ! ❤❤
Best harmonies this side of the Beatles.
