Yep you do have loads to look forward to. What about Kisses of Fire. No one seems to have mentioned this gem. ( they sang this for the BBC and a show in Switzerland.)
This euphoric tune,the first one i heard this morning.What a nice vitamin to boost ma day.All 4 smiling and esp Frida's and Agnetha's expressive shiny faces are the sweetest pill to cure gloomy moods.
This was the first song of theirs that caught my attention on the radio. It was sooo catchy and i loved that "wall of sound " quality. The videos from this period are a trip because they weren't produced for commercial consumption. They were just "promos", often only improvised, very basic format with limited but creative visual effects, never expected to reach a wide audience or enjoy longevity of replaying over the years.
With every Abba reaction you do you will find a new favorite song each time. That's how great their songs are and find new fans even after 45-50 years that they were recorded. The longevity of them will be forever.
I'm guessing half of the global male population had a crush on one of these two girls in the 70s lol. Great song and very playful video. They are the masters of the intro, as well as every other aspect of music
Absolutely! '70s it was the Abba girls and Olivia Newton John.We young teen males then were madly in love indeed.Also it was Debby Harry as a runner up for the naughty ones lol!
The way Frida dances towards the end - pure joy! Abba at their most fun, and as you noticed, the boys' backing vocal incantation is spellbinding. Play this and stay in a bad mood, I dare ya
Agree!!! It's pretty much peak ABBA, with all 4 of them singing, and their trademark sad-lyrics-but-triumphant-music. And the choreography and camera work is so extremely ABBA that it's almost like they're sending themselves up!
This is the song that made me say I have to get this album as soon as possible. This is one of my top two favorites but in reality there's too many Abba treasures to narrow it down.
Brilliant choice.🙏🙏 Karen Carpenter was in awe of these fantastic voices. Why not? Boy all the 3 ladies have the voices 😢of angels. Congratulation again 😮for a fantastic reaction.🙏🫂❤️
Don't forget "Does Your Mother Know", Bjorn sang lead on that one. You should watch the duo Erasure's cover of this song. The guys actually recreate the entire video almost shot for shot. It's great! LOL
Thank you, I have enjoyed your ABBA trip.👍 Bjorn Ulvaeus enjoyed jogging and as he ran he sang a "tck-a-ch"-style rhythm to himself. This evolved into the line "Take a Chance on Me," around which he wrote the rest of the words. Although unlike "Dancing Queen" this didn't top the US chart, it did sell more than the chart topper. The working title was "Billy Boy."
Thanks Chase! Been waiting for you to get to this gem. One of my all time faves since I first bought it way back in '77! Impossible not to smile listening to this track. The Name of The Game and Hole in your soul (from this same album) are both awesome if you're after some suggestions.
Great reaction! One of the most upbeat, positive songs both sonically and lyrically. Abba perfection, it's infectious. Fun seeing you laugh along with it!
I was 11 years old when this came out (yeah I'm that old!) and it utterly blew my young mind. It's a fabulous song from "ABBA: The Album". It's still my favourite ABBA song. If you want to hear a completely different side of ABBA - check out "Eagle" and another animal themed song "Tiger". Both are outstanding. "Under Attack" is brilliant. If you're up for listening to a completely different song and (South African) artist - check out "Scatterlings of Africa" and "Dela" (used in "George of the Jungle") by "Johnny Clegg". Sadly Johnny (known as the "White Zulu" in his country and a close friend of Nelson Mandela) died a few years ago from pancreatic cancer. Saw him live and he was amazing.
So nice to see you return to reaction more ABBA songs "Take a chance on me" (1978) is one of their best ABBA hits in all the world, the most selling song of ABBA in U.S. (more than Dancing Queen), #3 in Billboard U.S. one of their four Top10 in US : #6 Waterloo (1974) #1 Dancing Queen (1977) #3 Take a chance on me (1978) #8 The winner takes it all (1981) This is one of few song than the vocals are more extensive than the music (They begin 'a capela' and singing at the end) the blonde singer Agnetha is the lead vocal in the solo verses, her voice is so powerful, in perfect armonies and chorus with the brunette Anni Frid 'Frida' in co-leads vocal (and the boys in back voices singing repetitive the frase 'take a chance, chance') Agnetha & Frida have fantastic voices and harmonies together Agnetha is soprano Anni Frid 'Frida' is mezzo soprano and together made a 'third voice' the guitarist Björn got the idea while jogging, by the sound of the footsteps he interpreted t-k-t t-kt and adapted it to "take a chance, chance, take a chance", so the song was born Although it is a disco europop, it's like a constant and happy march, captivating, cloying, addictive In the same time, the single before was "The name of the game" Is probably the most complex song of ABBA and, of course, is different! That's my new suggestion to next reaction I wish you a greatest new week and a happy new year (like an ABBA song) My best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷 South América
Frida's voice is definitely the most prominent in the first part of the verses, with Agnetha singing most of the second part. They both lead on this song. No one voice dominates. First single I ever bought.
@@rdwulf6289 Saying this is a sterile and useless controversy. It's as if I were saying that Agnetha's high-pitched voice dominates the chorus in "Money Money Money", which is true. But that doesn't change the main fact, that Frida is the lead singer of that song for the most part and with solos. included Well, here it is the same Because as each song requests, when the bass predominates, Frida leads, and when the trebles are stronger, Agnetha predominates. But the main fact here is that, although they both sing together for most of the song, Agnetha is the more dominant voice (and with solos included, and with special parts in the video even) in the average song.
Very enjoyable reaction, that one obviously cheered you up. My memory (and it might be a bit hazy) is that the weather was awful and there was snow on the ground when this video appeared, I always hear it as a piercing ray of sunshine, really brightens the place up, every time.
That's why and much more that we love 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️👑! The electro-pop duo ERASURE, covered this song in 1992... (including the video)... very funny😃! GO ON, Chase! (great react, btw) Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
My father was '50s/'60s Generation mainly brought up with Elvis and Beatles .He learned Abba from us.Finally all in the family knew that whenever a new Abba record was anounced for release that was a synonnym of perfection.Whenever we travelled by car he was telling me.;'Hey Alex!Bring some Abba cassetes,we know this will be good stuff"....'Gimme*3"/'Chiquitita" and the whole 'Gracias por la musica" Spanish album were his fave dishes.
Been waiting for you to react to this one Chase. It's one of my favorites. Glad you liked it. "Knowing Me, Knowing You" should be the next one you react to. Love watching you on your Abba journey.
I also like how you comment on every Abba song with so much enthusiasm and I think you do it with so much charm. I really enjoy watching your Abba reactions 🙂
So far you have 20 reaction videos to ABBA "Dancing Queen" is at the top with +9000 views the Top5 is completed Gimme gimme gimme S.O.S. Chiquitita The winner takes it all Of the classic official ABBA music videos, the most important one that you are still missing is "Knowing me knowing you" Other very important ones: Voulez Vous One of us The name of the game and the other comeback song in 2021 "I still have faith in you" a special case with a song "I have a dream" (1979) At their time it did not have an official video, but its version in Spanish did. 'Estoy soñando' (the first official video that ABBA made in Spanish, after the colossal success of "Chiquitita" especially in Latin America) and with the release of the lyric videos from the album "GOLD" "I have a dream" finally had its well-deserved video in English
Just listened again to "I Wonder". Frida is the major lead Benny is there with really intricate fantastic Piano Work. And the lyrics by Bjorn tell, I'm pretty sure, the tough decision Frida made to seriously pursue her career before ABBA.
@@SapphireZucchini-xb3vr did you make this as its not on Chase's Channel from what I can see. I have watched them all but its great to have as a reference. Thank you. 🙂
@@helenpetersonyep I'm a big fan of ABBA reaction videos and I was blown away at how positive Chase is about every song... so I made a playlist. Glad you found it useful!
I didn't realize he had already done 20 reactions. Only 80 more bangers to go. There are a few others that if it was any other group I would say you have to listen to but I'll stick to 80. Then more than a few pre and post ABBA songs for the women.
Abba won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest in my hometown, Brighton, England. Ironically, during their active years, it wasn't seen as cool to be an Abba fan here in the UK. There were far more street cred groups around to follow. It's only later, here in the UK at least, that Abba has acquired legendary status. I guess the UK is where they gained their international status.
Great reaction Chase. Once again, Take a Chance on Me is Pure Bliss, Pure Joy and Pure Innovation. The idea for this song came when Bjorn was jogging and came up with the Rif in alignment with his feet hitting the pavement. He and Benny used this as the song Arc, and in true ABBA style, a classic ABBA song was born. I also love how playful Frida and Agnetha are in this video. Keep up the great work Chase, we love experiencing ABBA magic through your eyes.
Yay! Love that you added this banger from ABBA to your reactions. It's probably my #1 fave overall. I had the 45 RPM record back when I was a kid and I played it endlessly.
please do 80's group erasure's version.you must do the video it will make you smile. they are singer andy bell and musician vince clarke who was a founding member of depeche mode. then he formed yazoo which was him and alison moyet. then she had solo success while he formed erasure.
Please my Friend ... You must increase the Music sound level - I almost jump out of my chair when You comment the Music! And also ... that short Signature Intro of Yours is so Very Bass Heavy, My Headphones almost crumble from the Infra Low Frequencies. Just saying ...
KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU next. Like if you agree.
that's my favorite song from them
I am glad you are enjoying your ABBA journey. You still have a lot of great songs ahead of you! 😊
Yep you do have loads to look forward to. What about Kisses of Fire. No one seems to have mentioned this gem. ( they sang this for the BBC and a show in Switzerland.)

This euphoric tune,the first one i heard this morning.What a nice vitamin to boost ma day.All 4 smiling and esp Frida's and Agnetha's expressive shiny faces are the sweetest pill to cure gloomy moods.
I believe this song got them to No3 in The US.

The happiest song of the 70's!
sonic antidepressants
Respect to you for representing the new generation - ABBA are literally the gold standard of music making...good to see you're into them bro.
If you want different you should react to "Name of the game"...
The Day before you came is very different . Very enjoyable you will love it😅
A very flirty song ⭐
The way Frida dances towards the end - pure joy! Abba at their most fun, and as you noticed, the boys' backing vocal incantation is spellbinding. Play this and stay in a bad mood, I dare ya
KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU has to be next. A great song with a classic video (do the official video)
Agree!!!! "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is definitely one that I'm waiting for him to react to!!! Also, "The Name of the Game".
Agree!!! It's pretty much peak ABBA, with all 4 of them singing, and their trademark sad-lyrics-but-triumphant-music. And the choreography and camera work is so extremely ABBA that it's almost like they're sending themselves up!
Both this one and 'Super Trouper" start with accapella singing both no1s in 1978/1980 respectively.
This is the song that made me say I have to get this album as soon as possible. This is one of my top two favorites but in reality there's too many Abba treasures to narrow it down.
Brilliant choice.🙏🙏
Karen Carpenter was in awe of these fantastic voices. Why not? Boy all the 3 ladies have the voices 😢of angels.
Congratulation again 😮for a fantastic reaction.🙏🫂❤️
Karen Carpenter was born in March 1950
just only a month before Agnetha
Don't forget "Does Your Mother Know", Bjorn sang lead on that one. You should watch the duo Erasure's cover of this song. The guys actually recreate the entire video almost shot for shot. It's great! LOL
One of their finest! Well done!
Try "The King Has Lost His Crown" from them.
Thank you, I have enjoyed your ABBA trip.👍
Bjorn Ulvaeus enjoyed jogging and as he ran he sang a "tck-a-ch"-style rhythm to himself. This evolved into the line "Take a Chance on Me," around which he wrote the rest of the words.
Although unlike "Dancing Queen" this didn't top the US chart, it did sell more than the chart topper.
The working title was "Billy Boy."
Number 3
I was feeling down so the doctor told me to take two ABBA songs every day 🐈⬛🐈♥️
You beat me to it! Great historical background to fill him in on.
Another great 70s Abba Sound! Classic!
ABBA is versatile AF! ❤Legends
New ABBS suggestions: "The Way old Friends DO" "When i Kiss The teacher" "Summer Night City"
Thanks Chase! Been waiting for you to get to this gem.
One of my all time faves since I first bought it way back in '77!
Impossible not to smile listening to this track.
The Name of The Game and Hole in your soul (from this same album) are both awesome if you're after some suggestions.
"The name of the game"
Is my next suggestion too
"Hole in your soul"
my suggestion Is live from ABBA in Concert
so he could see ABBA so different!
Btw rumour had it that "Hole in your soul" was also a choice for release as a single from 'The Album" but never happened.
Also, "Eagle" , "Move On" and "Thank You For The Music".....the whole album is great actually.
@@nickchristoforou7850
The Album Is my favourite
he did before Eagle & Thank you for the music
Great reaction! One of the most upbeat, positive songs both sonically and lyrically. Abba perfection, it's infectious. Fun seeing you laugh along with it!
I was 11 years old when this came out (yeah I'm that old!) and it utterly blew my young mind. It's a fabulous song from "ABBA: The Album". It's still my favourite ABBA song.

So nice to see you return to reaction more ABBA songs
"Take a chance on me" (1978)
is one of their best ABBA hits in all the world,
the most selling song of ABBA in U.S.
(more than Dancing Queen),
#3 in Billboard U.S.
one of their four Top10 in US :
#6 Waterloo (1974)
#1 Dancing Queen (1977)
#3 Take a chance on me (1978)
#8 The winner takes it all (1981)
This is one of few song than the vocals are more extensive than the music
(They begin 'a capela' and singing at the end)
the blonde singer Agnetha is the lead vocal in the solo verses, her voice is so powerful,
in perfect armonies and chorus with the brunette Anni Frid 'Frida' in co-leads vocal
(and the boys in back voices singing repetitive the frase 'take a chance, chance')
Agnetha & Frida have fantastic voices and harmonies together
Agnetha is soprano
Anni Frid 'Frida' is mezzo soprano
and together made a 'third voice'
the guitarist Björn got the idea while jogging,
by the sound of the footsteps he interpreted t-k-t t-kt
and adapted it to
"take a chance, chance, take a chance",
so the song was born
Although it is a disco europop, it's like a constant and happy march, captivating, cloying, addictive
In the same time, the single before was
"The name of the game"
Is probably the most complex song of ABBA
and, of course, is different!
That's my new suggestion to next reaction
I wish you a greatest new week
and a happy new year (like an ABBA song)
My best regards from
Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
South América

I just sit and smiles 😃😃😃😃. Good start on the day. Thank's!
Yes!What i was feeling and thinking too(if you take a look at my comment).A serotonine booster,that is Abba.
Buddy , do next these super smash hits from them : "Voules vouz", "Tiger" , "All is said & done", "The visitors" , "One of Us" "Happy new year".
One of their fun songs which always puts a smile on my face. Great acapella start and harmonies as the song fades.
5:26 'pa-pa-pa-pa-paa/pa-pa-pa-pa=paa=papa" lol! that outro,the joy of life i just LURVE it!
Very enjoyable reaction, that one obviously cheered you up. My memory (and it might be a bit hazy) is that the weather was awful and there was snow on the ground when this video appeared, I always hear it as a piercing ray of sunshine, really brightens the place up, every time.
Their most popular is Dancing Queen
That's why and much more that we love 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️👑!
The electro-pop duo ERASURE, covered this song in 1992... (including the video)... very funny😃!
GO ON, Chase! (great react, btw)
Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
Also try Summer Night City.
Their second big succes in US after dancing queen ! Number 3 on billboard hot 100 !!!! 💯 💯 ❤
Love this song! This was the first song I heard from them when I was 10 years old!
Always different but always abba
Nobody does supersonic pop like ABBA. They are incredible.
My father was '50s/'60s Generation mainly brought up with Elvis and Beatles .He learned Abba from us.Finally all in the family knew that whenever a new Abba record was anounced for release that was a synonnym of perfection.Whenever we travelled by car he was telling me.;'Hey Alex!Bring some Abba cassetes,we know this will be good stuff"....'Gimme*3"/'Chiquitita" and the whole 'Gracias por la musica" Spanish album were his fave dishes.
one of my favarites
Thanks from Sweden! Great song.

KMKY next one!Yes!A must seen.
I also like how you comment on every Abba song with so much enthusiasm and I think you do it with so much charm. I really enjoy watching your Abba reactions 🙂
So far you have 20 reaction videos to ABBA
"Dancing Queen" is at the top with +9000 views
the Top5 is completed
Gimme gimme gimme
S.O.S.
Chiquitita
The winner takes it all
Of the classic official ABBA music videos,
the most important one that you are still missing is
"Knowing me knowing you"
Other very important ones:
Voulez Vous
One of us
The name of the game
and the other comeback song in 2021
"I still have faith in you"
a special case with a song
"I have a dream" (1979)
At their time it did not have an official video, but its version in Spanish did.
'Estoy soñando' (the first official video that ABBA made in Spanish, after the colossal success of "Chiquitita" especially in Latin America)
and with the release of the lyric videos from the album "GOLD" "I have a dream" finally had its well-deserved video in English
..and now «Take a Chance» on another wonderfull song, with Bjørns lovely voice: «Another town Another train» Very different from this one here 😊
Just listened again to "I Wonder". Frida is the major lead Benny is there with really intricate fantastic Piano Work. And the lyrics by Bjorn tell, I'm pretty sure, the tough decision Frida made to seriously pursue her career before ABBA.
