And few years before the Madonna sampling ABBA turned dow a 1 000 000 000 USD, YES 1 BILLION DOLLAR, offer for a reunion tour It was Madonna that needed a hit not ABBA (They had the Mamma Mia musical running all over the world )
Agnetha always wore her headphones like that, maybe so they didn't mess her hair or to just look cool! This official video misses out a long instrumental section which is in the record.
@@carlawiberg6282 My best Bluetooth headphones hurt my ears, since they barely cup the sides. And yet, they let me walk around the entire house, while getting the signal from my laptop in my room. I can understand the priority of good sound quality over comfort.
These two will some day maybe speak to women, maybe even spend some time with them. Until that happens we'll just have to listen to them wondering what those mysterious, foreign creatures do...
She had her headphones like that so it wouldn't mess with her hair. If you look close you can se that Frida's headphones is on her neck under her hair.
ABBA hit big in London previous week( 4 days ago) with the "VOYAGE" digitalized gigs.Almost every news reports ,socials, music papers are talking about this miraculous creation.Fans travelled from everywhere in the world to catch the premier and went hysteric when all four ABBA appeared for the first time in public after so many decades.Older now(of course) but still so class and so friendly and adorable and also got so very much moved by the reception they got.Twas really emotional and lots of fans went really tearful.This is big event guys,,It'sPhenomenal!
mAny have commented on the weird way Agnetha was wearing her headphones.She still did it same way while recording the songs to the 2021 VOYAGE album.But...take a careful look at Frida.Headphones are wrapped back around her neck,hidden under her hair while holding with her fingers, their endings up to the ears.Agnetha,also cool...hands in pockets deliviring one of the finest dance tunes ever written!
When you can sing like Agnetha - you can wear the headphones - ANYWAY you like :-) (PS, I think they are top of line HD Hitachi, the guys got the cheap ones...)
This is very Agnetha style of wearing headphones, even after 40 years now she still wore it the same way on the pictures from studio from last 2021 album "Voyage".
I found your channel by accident and am really enjoying your take on ABBA. I'm surprised you didn't mention the way Agnetha - the blonde - was able to hit and carry the high notes. She is said to have a coloratura soprano voice (a soprano with high range to the second C andove middle C and higher). Agnetha is noted for her operatic abilities and her range expands from D3 to Eb6. Anni-Frid (the red-head) is a mezzo-soprano also with a wide vocal range. Ahe is known fo rmost of the lower female vocals, The blending of the two voices has produced what is now known as ABBA's third voice. In my opinion, there has not been a pairing of women since the 1970's that can harmonize and blend like these two singers. Only today are music critics finally giving credit to the vocal abilities and the songwriting that made ABBA popular world-wide and still popular. After the Beetles, they are now the 2nd largest grossing band world-wide for their music. The live videos from their Australian tours and the Wembley Concert are well-worth viewing and really show the range of music styles that they were able to perform. For fun, check out this from a live concert in Perth Australia: ruclips.net/video/2gCsdj8e0sg/видео.html
ABBA was really a very talented and versatile swedish group that recording between 1972/1982 (and now comeback in 2021) and leads in 70s decade: two excellent musicians songwriters (guitarist Björn & pianist Benny) two top female singers (blonde Agnetha & brunette Frida ) (before ABBA they each had her solo career in Sweden) "Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" is a song influenced by American disco, after the success of the Bee Gees and the movie 'Saturday night fever" from the year before In this song you can see part of the volume and range of voice that the blonde Agnetha has ABBA was preparing their 1979 Tour of America and Europe, in the previous one , They recorded this song and filmed the official video This is the only video in which all ABBA is seen in the recording studio, including staff musicians (bass guitarist and drummer) and sound engineer Michel Tretow at the controls, creator of the well-known 'ABBA sound' with his innovative 'wall of sound' multiplication technique (an adaptation of the works of Phill Spector) The official vídeo is a short versión, the recording of the single is more than 4 1/2 minutes (with a solo instrumental) The introduction and the instrumental ending, that characteristic sound of Benny's keyboards, is what Madonna used for her well-known hit "Hung Up" (with the permission of the composers Björn and Benny, granting them share the credits) Surely for the latter, with 300 million views, this is the second official ABBA video with the most views on RUclips (behind "Dancing Queen", which has 600 million views) Thank you again for these video See you in the next ; GOD bless you My best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina
It’s crazy how in the 1975-1980 ABBA around the world were the biggest pop group in the world they were Massive. But it America they weren’t that big .
EXACTLY! That's what I thought too. One of the most iconic bands of all time, a song recorded in 1978 and with a hook that became the key point of Madonnas best selling single hitting no. 1 in 41 countries. Yeah. But the HEADPHONES. And the accent. Well.
Also "Name of the game","Super trouper","Money,money,money","Dont shut me down","Voulez vous""Eagle"."Summernight city" ,"I still have faith","Waterloo" and of course "The Winner takes it all"" or even maybe couple of album tracks such as "Move on"/"That's me"(What a fab video)/"Kisses of fire"/"Hole in your soul"/"The Visitors"....endless catalogue.
Nicely done. And for a song that will inspire you guys to new heights of Hilarity and commentary - - I'd suggest "Nasty Girl" from Vanity 6. (but for That, you might have to do a Prince week.)
I think the girls don’t want to mess up their hair. Agnetha’s headphones are tilted forward, Frida has hers around the neck and holds them with her hands.
My theory about the weird headphone position may sound a bit sexist, but when a girl gets a good hair day going, I don't think she wants to mess it up with a headphone strap. Being a man with very little hair up top, I can only guess as to how much hair spray that took to get that style. It was the 1970's, after all.
A lot of women wore headphones like that because they'd mostly been designed for the male head and didn't sit well on women's heads - even the adjustable ones were too loose and ended up sitting too heavily on your ears which is really uncomfortable. So if you've been in the studio all day, it can _really_ start to pull, hence wearing the band forward to take the pressure off your ears.
You need to have a Roxette week. They had 4 US Billboard number 1 songs (The Look, Listen To Your Heart, It Must Have Been Love and Joyride). #5 The Look, #4 Fading Like A Flower, #3 Sleeping In My Car, #2 Spending My Time, #1 (Do You Get) Excited?
Haha .. this is an iconic song you took on with completely unique and flawless vocals and by now a classic riff. And the only thing you came up with are quirky and strange features.. with a laughter. You two have so much to learn about pop from the past. Seriously, I think you two are a little too cool for this..
Exactly my thoughts too. It's one thing to notice different pose or unusual headphone wear, but if someone watches, listens, experiences this music video and that's all that they mention... Then it's simply not a place for me to be. Thumbs down for the sake of YT algorithm feed. Next!
Your disrespectful and ridiculing reaction to the way she wears her headphone, and your ridiculing comments on why she puts her hand inside her pocket, overshadow your actual analysis and review on this great song... Freedom of speech and expression is great untill you start showing your ignorance and arrogance (like you keep raving on why..oohh why must she wears her headphone like that..and why..oohh..why must she put her hand inside her pocket.. simply because you think its silly to do those..???) Great reaction guys
I Felt they were well intented Sharifuddin. I've watched all of their their ABBA reactions and they seemed they purely enjoyed and really got charmed.The guy with the glasses seemed even more Abba related.He has stated this, in one of their previous reaction.They just sometimes acted like little kids while getting carried away by visiting an amusement park or something .They've also noticed lots of details that other reactors didn;t while first time watcing some Abba videos.At least that was my impression as a lifelong fan and i got sorry for your getting upset.Wish it's just a misunderstanding.Hope them next time doing another Abba week.Of course it will be rightfully some more of their big hits.So i might miss the chance to listen to "MOVE ON" which i think you do love that one too don't you?!Hugs.
You two guys sure know how to ruin a great song with your pointless interruptions. You're supposed to be evaluating the song and performance, not headphones and wardrobe.
She wore the headphones like that so she hear her own voice as well as the studio line recording. It helped keep her in tune. Plus it’s cool lol
She wore her headphones like that so she didn’t mess her hair up
Madonna sampled this for her song "Hung Up" she called Benny and he gave his blessing. It ended up boosting ABBA back into the spotlight
No, by using ABBA it boosted Madonna back into the spotlight. ABBA were already and still in it.
@@discogareth lol righhht 2005 and ABBA still being in. Right.
@@itsalexney well actually yes.
And few years before the Madonna sampling ABBA turned dow a 1 000 000 000 USD, YES 1 BILLION DOLLAR, offer for a reunion tour
It was Madonna that needed a hit not ABBA (They had the Mamma Mia musical running all over the world )
Benny and Bjorn got songwriting credits on Madonna's song.
Agnetha always wore her headphones like that, maybe so they didn't mess her hair or to just look cool! This official video misses out a long instrumental section which is in the record.
It's because they hurt her head when worn the usual way. Don't presume everyone is an idiot
@@carlawiberg6282 Who do you think i am presuming to be an idiot? Certainly not Agnetha.

ANOTHER WEEK ABBA PLEASE!!!! ITS WONDERFUL
Please do more Abba! There's SO many to choose from! Over 400 million records sold... 👌👌👌

Many people comment on the way Agnetha wears her headphones. It’s her trademark in a way
In the 70s and 80s many people in the music bussiness wore headphones like that
You guys are a riot. I personally like the cantering beat that they are all bouncing too. More abba!
You noted the high harmony notes in the chorus... on the album (extended version), the harmonies go even higher.
When you can sing like Agnetha - you can wear the headphones - ANYWAY you like :-) (PS, I think they are top of line HD Hitachi, the guys got the cheap ones...)
Philips?
@@willswomble7274 "Hitachi HD-80"
One of the best songs of all time.
The headphones are worn like that so it doesn't mess up your hairstyle
Never again in Milky way. No1 by far far away. Insane numbers.
As much as you can joke about Agnetha, she is still one of the greatest female vocalists of all time - she is certainly on the list.
She ALWAYS wore her headphones like that.
The very first thirst song, timeless act
I love Abba
This is very Agnetha style of wearing headphones, even after 40 years now she still wore it the same way on the pictures from studio from last 2021 album "Voyage".
Maybe she didnt want to mess her hair :) great reaction guys!
Wish you do more ABBA, you did great at it!
Superb record, this is why they have sold over 450 million albums and have a 5 billion dollar musical worldwide.
One onte: This video was filmed on September 1979. Song was recorded on August 1979.
Never Fk with ABBA , they are keeping people alive , my mum
ICONIC
Agnetha wear the headphone like that because of her beautiful hair

and leads in 70s decade:
two excellent musicians songwriters
(guitarist Björn & pianist Benny)
two top female singers
(blonde Agnetha & brunette Frida )
(before ABBA they each had her solo career in Sweden)
"Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" is a song influenced by American disco, after the success of the Bee Gees and the movie 'Saturday night fever" from the year before
In this song you can see part of the volume and range of voice that the blonde Agnetha has
ABBA was preparing their 1979 Tour of America and Europe, in the previous one , They recorded this song and filmed the official video
This is the only video in which all ABBA is seen in the recording studio,
including staff musicians (bass guitarist and drummer) and sound engineer Michel Tretow at the controls, creator of the well-known 'ABBA sound' with his innovative 'wall of sound' multiplication technique (an adaptation of the works of Phill Spector)
The official vídeo is a short versión, the recording of the single is more than 4 1/2 minutes (with a solo instrumental)
The introduction and the instrumental ending, that characteristic sound of Benny's keyboards, is what Madonna used for her well-known hit "Hung Up" (with the permission of the composers Björn and Benny, granting them share the credits)

Agnetha always wore her headphones like that, I always thought it was to not mess upp the hair😁 Thank you ❤
The long album version (Abba Greatest Vol 2) is far better. The instrumental bridge with the voices coming in is magical
It’s crazy how in the 1975-1980 ABBA around the world were the biggest pop group in the world they were Massive. But it America they weren’t that big .
Americans have no taste. The rest of the planet has.
MADONNA sampled this song, you should listen to that, it was nummer 1 in 41 countries.
To be honest, I think it's time for a madonnaweek, finally..
YESS MADONNA WEEK
Wow A headphone wearing reaction.
Nice.
EXACTLY! That's what I thought too. One of the most iconic bands of all time, a song recorded in 1978 and with a hook that became the key point of Madonnas best selling single hitting no. 1 in 41 countries.
Yeah.
But the HEADPHONES.
And the accent.
Well.
omg you guys are picking up all the beautiful details
Listen to the album version, the 4m 50s version. If you love the baseline then then an awesome mid section where the bass goes OFF THE CHART ❤😊
Might not have wanted to mess her hair
Too many to do just 1 week. No.1 HAS to be The Day Before You Came which was their best video to any of their songs
CHIQUITITA
Also "Name of the game","Super trouper","Money,money,money","Dont shut me down","Voulez vous""Eagle"."Summernight city" ,"I still have faith","Waterloo" and of course "The Winner takes it all"" or even maybe couple of album tracks such as "Move on"/"That's me"(What a fab video)/"Kisses of fire"/"Hole in your soul"/"The Visitors"....endless catalogue.
Agnetha is wearing her head phones on her forehead and Frida is wearing her head phones onthe back of her neck lol
Now, you gotta hear Madonna’s “HUNG UP”
She wanted to hear herself 😊
Nicely done. And for a song that will inspire you guys to new heights of Hilarity and commentary - - I'd suggest "Nasty Girl" from Vanity 6. (but for That, you might have to do a Prince week.)

Never realised how at risk of face planting I was every time I had both hands in my pockets…
Strange reaction. You talked more about how Agnetha was wearing her headphones than you did about the song. 🙄
I think she didn't want to mess up her hair lol
you guys are so freaking cute
Cute is one way of saying they focused more on a headset than on a song.
As an old singer i can tell you that headphones hurst your ears, so i belive thats why shes have them wrong
Amazing, and oh yeah headphones unlike Brit omg - geez peace, love Scotland.
Live in Australia 78-82
Do The Day Before You Came
Album version is WAY better!
Их занимает наушники и козырек
Maybe one day you'll have experiences with women and you'll learn that they don't like mussing up their hair.
Far too much silly chat from you two.
It’s THEIR CHANNEL and they’re analysing the video!!!
Nesesitan meses para Abba no semanas tienen más d 40 temas conocidos
The instrumental bridge is sadly missing in this official video
americans distracted by some details, missing all whats important...
You need to have a Roxette week. They had 4 US Billboard number 1 songs (The Look, Listen To Your Heart, It Must Have Been Love and Joyride). #5 The Look, #4 Fading Like A Flower, #3 Sleeping In My Car, #2 Spending My Time, #1 (Do You Get) Excited?
It’s not to mess up your hair it’s a woman thing guys lol
she didn't want to ruin her hair, isn't that obvious??
singing like that, who cares how she wears her 'phones?
Haha .. this is an iconic song you took on with completely unique and flawless vocals and by now a classic riff. And the only thing you came up with are quirky and strange features.. with a laughter.

Like I, she probably wear headphones on the forehead in order not to squeeze the hair flat?
not to mess her hair ?

You guys must not know any women. How many women do you know that like to mess their hair up.
Jeez critique the song not how to wear the headphones 😒
If u cant say anything good then dont say anything. Im done with your channel
Wrong verison ... 😓
You two guys sure know how to ruin a great song with your pointless interruptions. You're supposed to be evaluating the song and performance, not headphones and wardrobe.
