This tune is criminally underrated. I have no idea why it wasn't released as a single in the USA.
IKR This is my fave ABBA song
Because Atlantic, ABBA's record company the US, wanted to have an album to go along with the single. Atlantic loved the single and sent a telegram to Stockholm, saying: "Everyone here thinks it will be a number one!". But ABBA could not guarantee an album before Christmas and so Atlantic didn't release the single. Atlantic also messed up "Chiquitita". ABBA did the Concert for Unicef in New York which got worldwide promotion - and Atlantic released the single five months later. When "Does Your Mother Know" was released in the States in May 1979, it had been a year since "Take A Chance On Me", a lifetime in pop music then.
@@oliverwittofficial4997Definitivamente no supieron manejar la carrera de ABBA y es lamentable por que tienen canciones que pudieron ser número 1 en E.U , el mal manejo por parte de su representante hizo que no traspassran fronteras a nivel mundial, sin embargo hoy 2024 podemos seguir disfrutando de este legado gracias a las redes sociales.
ABBA 💖 💖🌷🌷🙏🙏
Agree , Im from Brazil and had many records , DVDs and other things from ABBA but I only learned about this song some eight or ten years Ago in RUclips
It's actually painful to see how few people have seen and listened to this masterpiece. A million times better than whatever is being produced nowadays. And that's true for most songs they made.
I agree with every word you said.
I never get tyred of listening to ABBA.
even better than ABBA's newest 0ne
I agree. I am a 12 year old and I listen to abba. It is just better than music from nowadays.
Yes only 17 million
By far one of the most underrated Abba songs.And also one of their best !
Dragan Milenkovic Agreed 100%.
I still own the original vinyl single and it always was one of my favourite ones.But it never became a huge hit it used have deserved to be.Wonder why...Might be because of the Bee Gees supremacy that year?
Interesting theory. That might actually be the reason. Such a shame, either way. And yes, I envy that vinyl single of yours. Very much.
Hm, I was a huge ABBA fan in those days and didn´t like this song as much as most of the others. Something´s missing here, the refrain is okay but the verse is not loaded with enough music, if you know what I mean. It sounds pale and not as superior as it should compared to the other achievements ABBA made. Everybody who went disco without really having a foot in that door, somehow failed. Barbra Streisand tried it more than once and her her vocal qualitites are really low - even on "No more tears" she is vocally dominated by Donna Summer.
very strong chorus though....at least when it first kicks, but then it fades a bit. ABBA was probably a bit too classy to do basic disco songs. (Im a big BeeGees fan btw)
honestly this song is so underrated. when people think about disco from this period most people immediately think about the bee gees. and rightly so as a lot of their stuff is timeless. but this one song easily stands up there with the best disco of that era.
Yet this is a song they were not happy when released in Sept 1978. Shows how incredibly demanding Benny and Bjorn were.... it is one of the gems of the Disco era. It is an ode to Stockholm.
My fave rave from ABBA
Too right.
Because this ISN’T JUST DISCO!
This is MUSIC!
Bee Gees and Boney M weren't very important in my country. We had Abba.
Benny Andersson is the best music composer .. after Mozart time
When music was the best better than the music today
Yes, we have true👍
You have true
Richtig!
HAPPY 45TH BIRTHDAY SUMMER NIGHT CITY!!!
And sounds as fresh and vibrant as ever...🎉
@@KapilSingh-f6d for REAL
One of the best ABBA songs. It's timeless.
Growing up a 70's kid, i used to think these two women were the epitome of beauty, im 54 and still think so.. not only beautiful to look at but beautiful voices that still resonate deep in my heart ❤
I'm 53 mate! Me growing up listening to Abba caused me to believe that the Swedish French, and Italians and others, were similar, distinct from the British & Americans?
The tune apart from the singing is very similar to the Euro/ Mediterranean disco scene from the 70's & 80's
@Lauren-jh1wsBjorn was as attractive as a bag of spanners
Benny Andersson is a musical genius, he wrote such catchy, musically addictive songs, but there is always an underlay of subtle complexity when listened to on a deeper level, a paradox you would think, but only realized when heard.
Agree. Very difficult to do better.
Completely agree. Musical genius. And when I think at the beginning, some said it was idiotic songs........
@@HarryGhall their heart is not open, that's what I think, I often got in such situations when people say it's shitty but they don't Hear the complexity! Or the genius..
…and then the subtle/complex/poetic lyrics in 2nd language. Real genius.
@@LaPtiteAnglaise this was Bjorn
There will never be another group like ABBA.. they were definitely one of the best of that era.. love ABBA always ❤💜 March 2024 🎉

還暦ですが若い時はアバの曲をよく聞いてました🙂ダンシングクィーンが代表曲ですがサマーナイトシティが１番好きでした😁

Fellow red blooded males it is Agnetha that brought u here...
You can find a lot of ABBAs on the salty fish shelves in supermarkets in Sweden.
SAAB?
I wish this time come back.
Forget Volvo, this is Sweden's best export ABBA ❤️
Sorry to say. But Volvo owns by chinese now

You could also forget SAAB
@@lars-gorannilsson4663 Well ABBA doesnt be owned by Chinese.

Why are so many of ABBA's songs pure gold?

Perfectly crafted and perfectly performed

despite this is true. i honestly think the industry has got a bit better since last year. thanks to The Strokes, The Weeknd and Ariana, Dua Lipa
It’s soooooooo good

Im 20, i wished i were born in this time, so epic..
Love this so much. So underrated song. One of their best ❤🎉😊
Abba is the classic like Mozart in 200 years
Don't be ridiculous! ABBA is great but Mozart is a gift from God for humanity.
@@justadude641 ABBA too.
And Queen, Beatles...and some more. They did a lot for the music. Classic is not the untouchable holy grail.
My mother is in her 60s and when i was a child she told me about abba and how much she loved this band. After many years now I'm in my 30s, from my teenage to these days I've been listening to heavy metal and classical music mostly. Now I've rediscovered Abba and I'm really enjoying their music. I haven't listened to them earlier because of my "metalhead ego" and I really regret for that. Greetings from Bangladesh!
Nice you gave to you the opportunity to listen to them, I listen their music since I was 11 and I used to be bullyied by my classmates about it, even people from my family used to make comments like: Don't you listen to "regueaton"? which has been the "coolest" music gender in Colombia for years, but I just never cared and never will.
Like what you like - I am an overgrown emo kid in my musical taste, stuff like FOB, Paramore and MCR among others, but I love ABBA too. They knew how to make music that appeals to all emotions.
Those were the days when the way you were born didn't matter. Four "normal" looking young people without immaculate teeth, plastic surgery faces or BBL's. Just good make-up and hair, nice clothes and that was it. At 11, I thought both of the guys were INCREDIBLY ugly and unattractive...but it didn't matter, because it was about the MUSIC. Thinking about that, I realize that the whole 24/7 MTV video's, starting somewhere in the 80s,
probably developed, from the "need" to have TV performances in music charts, like Top of the Pops, in Holland TOPPOP andsoforth. I was born and raised in Amsterdamned, Holland in '63. When the show Toppop came on, and they couldn't get a band to perform "live", there was either a video (thinking of Bohemian Rhapsody and the likes), or Penny de Jager did a choreography with her jazzballet- dancers...that was dull, mostly. But seriously: Wuthering Heights, by Kate Bush, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Boys, by David Bowie and what not, ALL had some sort of videoclip avant la lettre...and ABBA.
Happy memory: me at 14 with my first "boyfriend"(holding hands and kissing. Oof! Exciting!) and both of my parents, all dancing together in the livingroom on "Take a chance on me" by Abba....❤😂❤😂
Greetings from Wales. I was also a metal head in my youth - but I think it lays the groundwork for people to appreciate all kinds of other music, from classical, to opera, to folk. There elements of all those in metal. I also grew up with ABBA, and they are absolutely the best at what they do. I've been watching their live shows lately - some of which are surprisingly more rock than I would have thought. Aanyhow, you may appreciate this mash-up...;) ruclips.net/video/lmjkjZ-HHng/видео.html
I'm Bangladeshi too-nice to meet a fellow deshi with proper musical taste!
Are you from Dhakar??????
Frida ....uhh...the lioness of my lion dreams.What a woman!
70年代のABBAの曲は何れも最高です。自分がスキな曲はサマーナイトシティです。今は還暦を過ぎましたが、18の時テレビに出ていたABBAが歌っていたのがこの曲です。初めてディスコで踊りを、おぼえました。今でもABBAの曲は最高です。
You can even see the metal bolts of the boat in the harbour. This 4K version is way better than I have ever seen this video.
Finally in 4K!! Amazing!
Those ABBA girls are just...beautiful. I mean just look at them....total perfection.
I'm lookin', I'm lookin'........ 😍😍😍
Those girls are old grannies now. Doesn't matter, the music they made was magic, still is today

Todays music is real shit
I don't agree, also after that time great songs were made and are still being made. I think it has something to do in which time you grew up which music you like best.
Couldn't agree more!
Always ahead of their time.
One of the most underrated disco tracks EVER.
Fantastic! Just Love Abba Always ❤️💏💔💋🌹💕👌😍💓
ABBA and underrated??? wtf u talking about
This isn't disco music
this is disco so was Take A Chance on Me and most of the Voulez Vous album
Me too loove this
Benny Andersson playing for "those who have ears for that", coming directly from the softness and detail oriented classical music - he able to pushing same complexity into the pop-sounding, which originally planed for much simplier form and object... Benny pulling up the pop into same level as the classical, and for this he need extra geniousity and very good taste...
The theme from 0:45 to 0:58 is so entrancing!
Golden age of the pop music
It's amazing. One incredible song after another. I can't stop.
ABBA were/are so cool
Are.
Agreed!
This song is pure brilliance!!! As are ALL of Abba's songs!!
The most popular song by ABBA in all USSR ! Number 1
Wow! 👍🏾👍🏾
One of the rockiest.
Summer night cities would be a fairly narrow window of opportunity in the USSR, nyet?
@@virginiaviola5097 In 1960, 70s, 80s there were practically no restrictions in the USSR. It was strict only during Stalin's time. Then we used to listen a lot of of West music and really enjoyed. Everybody loved music of our past years
@@amycrunch3812 I think the most dancing ABBA song

Reminds me of being young and full of energy and hope 👍
One of the best and catchy tunes ever made, no doubt.
This has to be one of the best songs .
Very underrated ABBA song, Eagle is another, both technically brilliant!
Agree, both are great!

YAS! Two of my favorite Abba songs
I'm here for 4k version...
Perfect masterpiece 🎉
The greatest pop group of all time, and one of the best songs
Timeless pop with summer and party vibes,, love ABBA
This band could make masterpieces without any effort
There was about a six year period from the mid 70s to the early 80s where everything ABBA put out was brilliant. They were so in the zone. This isn't even considered one of their major hits and yet it's still awesome.
Damnit, i have to admit i like abba music. I've been denying it for 35 years.
Frida has me under her spell!!!
Frida really knew how to sell a song. She was a great mover and a natural performer. I love watching her perform on stage.
Let alone her incredible voice and physique!!!
Even if I don't agree with the word 'sell' you used: for me, Frida is anything but a saleswoman - she's an artist with sensitive feelings and an amazing voice!!!

Both ladies are sexy and gorgeous. But Frida's beauty is so unique that I can't get tired of looking at her. Her tantalizing eyes kill me 🥰
ABBAは時代を超越する素晴らしいバンドやね。
2:44 Bjorn/Agnetha pure classic look of 1980's Europe. Very elegant.
This music is as fresh today as it was the day it first came out.what a tallented group they are. As soon as their music comes on people from all generations
+Russell Mayley Totally agree, all their songs are timeless classics.

I hate Therion's version :-( just because I wish I could do what they did first!!!! It's pure envy! LOL!!!
Jake Sanderson Amazing ??? Amazing for you...
Alberto Perez Perez, what you mean?
Was für ein geiles Disco Lied. Es hat auch noch heute seine Platz !
1978 and Frida still rocking those skinny jeans. A timeless look especially with legs like that.
Frida and Agnetha are those rare examples of female singers which are tall. (Usually female singers are quite short.). And Frida and Agnetha are same length which makes them look beautifully in harmony while side by side.
If one of them was f ex 160 cm and the other 180 cm; nope, it would not work.
@@pirjosaarimaki6925 Totally agree. They were about 10 cm taller than the average woman and with their heels on would be taller than a lot of men too back then. They are different in other respects but at the same time complement each other so well. Can't think of a female duo who sounded so good together.
@@pirjosaarimaki6925 Yup. And the boys aren't alot taller then the girls
Their best song. The sense of urgency is not wasted here.
Now, this is true outstanding pop music!
Not the auto tuned soulless singers of nowadays pop music.

They are effects like Pr0 tun3s

I wanna be cruising the streets of Stockholm with Abba
Thanks for the good quality!
It´s easy to realize these songs won´t ever die . Even those people that weren´t born enjoy this band .
I'm 20 this week and I LOVE ABBA and ALWAYS WILL!
Loved and love Abba since I was a kid. Growing up in a Soviet Union, it was one of a few bands that I really enjoyed from outside that nation. Now, years later, having been in US for about 43 years, I enjoyed this music on many occasions, as young teens and adults, dancing to it, listening and gifting albums to friends back in a day. This song, has always been at the top of my list of most favorite. Sure, I liked many, most Abba songs, but this one just appealed to me so well and just love it, the music, the lyrics and everything about it. Great and timeless music.
Thanks for sharing, that's an uplifting story. I read their song The Visitors is about the Soviet Union.

the most underrated ABBA song in my opinion. whatever’s happening at 0:46 makes me feel like i’m levitating
One of the most underrated ABBA songs, IMO. Lush production, incredible voices and soaring melodies. What more could you want in a song?
Still my favourite ABBA record. Followed very closely by Gimme Gimme Gimme.

I am reading a book from a feminist writer, "ABBA Gold," by Elisabeth Vincentelli: The two male composers acknowledged that without the girls there would have been no ABBA.
The beaming smile of 2 beautiful Swedish ladies at there prime tells me I definitely missed out big time on Stockholm’s club scene in 1979. 😢
Abba was way ahead of its time. ❤
dancing and singing to summer night city at ABBA Voyage was the best experience of my life !!
It really is a great experience 😍
Was prepared to be underwhelmed after reading Benny and Bjorn hated this song. Hmm, they must have had very high standards. I think it's a masterpiece!
It's so uplifting whilst performed live. It's so reminiscent of the Bee gees.........
Actually, I think Agnetha voiced her opinion that she was not satisfied with this record......
After 42 years I think they have a other view of this Song.
Yup ,they were disappointed and they said it back then I remeber that -same with Gimme Gimme that didnt meet their expectations

Looking amazing!!!
Every ABBA song sounds so fresh from the box or whatever.
Pop Godness
Even as a kid I was impressed by the sounds and their sound quality
The two "bridges" in the song, the first beginning with "I know what's waiting there for me" and the other with "I love the feeling in the air" is the most magic with this tune. They sound almost oriental and the changes in pace is what makes this song so good.
I agree!
Yes! I listen to it over and over again to hear that part! And I can't stop. The way that synth climbs up and back down hooks me every time!
Naah. This is only another ABBA song. Maybe it got 13 million views and +2 600 comments but still only a simple pop melody from a now long forgotten group...
Love the windchimes and synth arpeggio during these bridges, they make the song uplifting👍👌
@@user-mv6he6gl8m Abba is legendary. They're still relevant. Their music will never die. They're already a classic.
