When people first discover ABBA, they usually say "They're so talented and versatile, for a pop group". After hearing a few more songs, they drop the "for a pop group" part.
such a great song. Fridas acting in this video is superb! she was a former model and cover girl and was in some Swedish movies. she's a natural in front of the camera
ABBA certainly had plenty of hooks and knew how to write a chorus but they were also excellent musicians and used a huge variety of styles and instruments to craft their pop songs. A beautifully crafted ABBA song is "Name of the game" which has several change ups but they weren't just pop or disco, they did some glam rock and prog/soft rock too. For an example of that try "Eagle" (the extended version has a nice guitar solo at the end)
Once ABBA discovered being themselves and not something that was the latest craze, they found their strength...doing good music, no matter what the style. They did what THEY liked. Sometimes it was different from what was going on in the music business, sometimes it wasn't. BUt there was a growth with the group, you can hear if you follow each one of their albums. Lyrics became for evolved and introspective, melodies and instrumentals more varied in styles, vocals experimenting with styles, tones, effects. Where they started and where they ended is an incredible musical journey.
Wise words that ABBA (like the Beatles and a few other groups) can 'step out of their lanes' and do something a little bit different. It was always nice to hear a new song and think 'oh... this is an Anni-frid song' or 'it's Agnetha' or even 'OMG it's Bjorn'.
Lol,"that's the American dream,right?"ha!ha!......yet not really the Swedish dream at the time.Abba's lyrics to this baroque pop-classic are actually satirical.Btw original working title was 'Gypsy Girl".That's one more fine promo- clip from the band's legacy.Cheers.
Hello , so nice to see you again reaction to ABBA songs "Money money money" (1976) it is a very good song in a different musical style, cabaret type, set in another era "Money money money" is the single that followed "Dancing Queen" and reached # 3 in the UK, #1 in Australia and several European countries. It is a totally different song from its predecessor "Dancing Queen" and also from its successor "Knowing me knowing you" This is the versatility of ABBA, they go from genre to genre, as well as from success to success The song lends itself very well to the brunette Frida's lower voice, the choruses are sharper in contrast (and very catchy) specialy with the voice of Agnetha in high notes The instrumentation is excellent The official video is one of ABBA's best, very creative, it shows Them in fashion situations and also with their famous kimonos and a year ago ABBA premieres the new official lyric video of "Money money money" I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs My best regards to You from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America
4:27 and what about these 2 Scandi-striking girls?They were the hottest babes in the busines!After so many years i still get lost in this seductive icon.

Again two more exceptional diverse gems!
FRIDA forever
I think what you were trying to describe about the "talkie" part of Anni-frid solo in the spotlight is a "cabaret" style.
Once ABBA discovered being themselves and not something that was the latest craze, they found their strength...doing good music, no matter what the style. They did what THEY liked. Sometimes it was different from what was going on in the music business, sometimes it wasn't. BUt there was a growth with the group, you can hear if you follow each one of their albums.

Yes indeed.So well discribed..
Thanx for refering to those facts James.That was such a comment.All so accurately observed and analyzed.
Wise words that ABBA (like the Beatles and a few other groups) can 'step out of their lanes' and do something a little bit different. It was always nice to hear a new song and think 'oh... this is an Anni-frid song' or 'it's Agnetha' or even 'OMG it's Bjorn'.
Every song they brought out was great and did well in the charts here in the UK
Btw that was a no1 single in Germany for 5 weeks.
Lol,"that's the American dream,right?"ha!ha!......yet not really the Swedish dream at the time.Abba's lyrics to this baroque pop-classic are actually satirical.Btw original working title was 'Gypsy Girl".That's one more fine promo- clip from the band's legacy.Cheers.
So catchy 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Some songs will never get out of your head. This is one of them.
One my favorites!!! ❤!
Hello , so nice to see you again reaction to ABBA songs
"Money money money" (1976)
it is a very good song in a different musical style,
cabaret type, set in another era
"Money money money"
is the single that followed
"Dancing Queen"
and reached # 3 in the UK,
#1 in Australia and several European countries.
It is a totally different song from its predecessor "Dancing Queen"
and also from its successor "Knowing me knowing you"
This is the versatility of ABBA,
they go from genre to genre,
as well as from success to success
The song lends itself very well to the brunette Frida's lower voice,
the choruses are sharper in contrast (and very catchy)
specialy with the voice of Agnetha in high notes
The instrumentation is excellent
The official video is one of ABBA's best, very creative,
it shows Them in fashion situations and also with their famous kimonos
and a year ago ABBA premieres
the new official lyric video of "Money money money"
I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs
My best regards to You from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷

"(Original TVVideo 1975)" ... performance.
Take care ✌️
Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
Фрида лучшая!!!
Those who say that money don't matter usually have plenty of it.
ABBA is one of the richest band in the world. Collectively all four is worth more than a billion USD
Самая богатая из них Анни-Фрид!!! Эта песня пророческие для нее. Деньги, деньги.
Great reaction. You can’t go wrong with Abba 😁👍🏾
Right!!
Now they’re each worth a quarter billion. So they found their money :)
Btw Great shot in your vid's thumbnail.
Try SOS ❤
Already done🙏
