I quite liked this short little song! I never heard of it, and the title of the song confused me a bit before I heard it, but as soon as it started playing, it all made sense to me. ABBA are really good at lyrics, they certainly manage to put words into poems. I also enjoyed the drums and the bass beat in this one! Such an underrated gem! Your thoughts?

It's one of my favorites! A hidden jem! They just make you smile, don't they?😄
They sure do 😊🙏🏻
Some bands struggle to come up with their top 10. ABBA is one of those rare bands that have their own top 40.
So interesting. And here I thought I know all ABBA songs. Never ever heard this song before. I just love how easy going and happy this song sounds. And yet we all know ABBA. There harmonies are so smooth and yet so complex and absolutely not easy to sing. They are masters of easy sounding and yet complicated song. It is amazing
Very very true Kaelyn! 🙏🏻😁
Off of their 1975 third self titled LP
"Bang-A-Boomerang" is criminally underrated and underheard! It's pure sunshine, love, and happiness in musical form. Anybody who can listen to "Bang-A-Boomerang" and not smile is somebody you don't want to be around.
"Bang-A-Boomerang" is a song by ABBA, first released by Svenne & Lotta (both Swedish and English-language versions). Svenne & Lotta competed with this song in the Melodifestivalen 1975 :) The song was written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson
ABBAMAN..... Bang is definitely a highlight from this album it's definitely one of the happiest tunes ever written and recorded.😊 At this point in their career they really developed their sound and it shows and every aspect this is just a perfect up-tempo pop song and it's great to see them having so much fun those were the days my friend
Hey Gene! Yeah this was a real happy pill! 😁
Its one of my favourite early ABBA songs. I love how much fun Frida is having in the video, which is just them hanging around Stockholm.
This is my go-to feel-good song. Love it to no end.
So glad to see You, dear GivenToe
pleasantly surprised of this ABBA song
"Bang a boomerang" (1975)
it is so nice and powerful in the fantastic voices of Agnetha & Frida
It was a single only in
France Belgium Norway Australia
"Bang a Boomerang" was composed by Björn & Benny for other artists
to the Melodiefestivalen 1975 in Sweden (the previous to Eurovision)
that is why the song is only under three minutes, by Eurovision rules
(as "Ring Ring" in 1973 and "Waterloo" in 1974)
It's finally in third place and after these ABBA recording this version, that is amazing!
The video was made in Stockholm on a windy day in April 1975
in 2 days ABBA made videos for 4 songs from your third album, just tittled "ABBA":
"Bang a Boomerang"
"I do I do I do I do I do"
"Mamma mia"
"S.O.S." (the only of these recorded before in August 1974)
these song is happy, to enjoy,
with lyrics about pure love
is one of my favourites in the self title album ABBA
wich is one of my favourites ABBA albums too
I'm so happy to see you following the videos and perfomances of ABBA
next is "Rock me" (is like you show at the end of the reaction)
You have some TV perfomances to choose
I wish you a great start of the week
My best regards to You
from my city and country
Buenos Aires, Argentina
South América
GOD bless You
PS: several images of this video
were taken in the compilation for the official video
of ABBA's comeback in "I still have faith in You"
Thank you for the comment, always interesting to read! Have an amazing day! 😊🙏🏻
Great to see you travelling down the ABBA path again bro. This is actually one of my favourite ABBA tracks, I know many talk about 'hidden gems', but this is genuinely a hidden gem - If you need a lift, then this is the song for you.
Abbalicius David
Bang is exactly what this song does to your hearts a feel good feeling song that has some lovely quirks 😀
I love this song so much. Such a happy song with great beat and melody, very catchy. One of my favorite songs ever.
I have never heard of this song either, but it's a catchy song. I like it. I've always liked ABBA
Well a great way to start my service calls for today. This is definitely a happy tune with a smiling abba. Life is a boomerang 🪃. Whatever you give out you get in return. Always liked the song, great to see you again.
That is so very true indeed! Thank you James! Great to see you too! 🙏🏻😁
This is an ABBA-solutely fantastic song !!! .. Love it so much, and it always cheers me up ❤ .. It's in my Top 4 ABBA songs, along with "When I Kissed The Teacher", "SOS", and "The Winner Takes It All" .. Glad you enjoyed it !
Young, happy and in love...
This song is refreshing, like a light breeze.
I like it very much ❤
Nice to see you again, David.
'Rock me' might surprise you... again😅
Take care...
❤🇨🇱👍
😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great reaction! Check out their start as Festfolket and the song People need love rest is history.
Next one ROCK ME!It's also a great live number performed and filmed in 1977 on tour!Live version '77 is even better inmo than the audio which i also like.They rocked on stage!
I love it even though bit different from usual abba David.
That is true 😊
Ohh and rhyming "Dumb-dee-dee-dumb" and "Hummy-Hum-Hum" Genius!!! Couldn't get any more Eurovision 70s if it tried hehehe
...'This is one of those real happy pills produced by Abba'.... so well said David.
True.
Not a well known or unknown song, but was featured on the Stars on 45 (Abba Medley) single, released in 1981.
Stars on 45 were a Dutch Studio Band which released 3 (I think) singles during 1981. They also released an album featuring hits from The Beatles. All 3 singles had the typical disco beat. Good to dance to - LOL!
I bought the 12" single believe it or not... Got it mainly for the ABBA medley... "the stars on 45 keep on turning in your mind..." 😅
Good to dance to indeed Steve! 😁😁
This number was part of the legendary '70s ABBA Greatest Hits (vol.1) album back in 1975/76 that included best of Abba's early discography.Cheers GT you made me hooked on your reaction again.
😁😁😁
ABBAMAN... Abba's songs were always so infectious and happy back then no wonder there are millions of die hard fans from the very beginning like myself.. who's still listen to them after 50 years. There is no one else quite like them and probably never ever much like the Beatles there will never be another foursome like that.bty back then Abba was called the swedish beatles
Yeah they sure are one special gang ;)
Absolutely my favorite song by ABBA... of all their songs, this one. Am I wrong?
Svenne och Lotta did this, never heard this before with ABBA 😮 AWESOME 🤘❤️🔥😍 thanks for the reaction 🤘🤗
I have always liked this song. One of their early ones that didn't become a hit to get played on the radio much. They had a lot of great sounding songs that didn't become hits.
You are so right David, very underrated. Such a fun upbeat happy song with a video that shows them at their happiest (in my opinion). In my top favourites for sure.
Yes its a very happy song,happy feelgood song and video..and a great tune..love it!
I knew you would like this song and so glad at last you have reviewed it. Such a happy feel good song. It gets even better the more you hear it I love the break / bridge before the key change.
Looking forward now to Rock Me… maybe you could do the live version? ( again more Abba excellence!) ❤❤❤
This song was the B side of I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do and I played it just as often. Another fun and catchy ABBA gem.
The fact that a song like this was only noticed in the 70s shows once again the size of the entire ABBA repertoire. It also took me decades to dig up this piece of cake again. Today it is one of my favorite songs.
Hey David.. Been a while since I have been in touch... I have always liked this uplifting song... And I love, love the video... They all seem so vibrant, happy and full of life... Great to see them in such great form... And I have to tell you I finally got to see the Voyage concert on 05/05/23...I was so excited I can't begin to tell you.. It was such an amazing experience and went by so quickly it feels like a blur... Keep up the great work... Always a pleasure to see you... 😊
Hey Grey! Hows it going? Oh that sounds like great fun! So nice to see you back! Have a great evening! 😁😁🙏🏻
Yes ,that was Stockholm in 1975 where this was filmed.
I'm a fan of Abba and for me this song has one of his best lyrics and one of the best videos, in fact I like it more than many of his iconic songs worldwide. She is beautiful and the video makes her more beautiful
Good to have you back and reacting this song is one of those songs which foe shake you wanna tap your feet great early song of theres 😊
I don't care how silly the title is. This is classic ABBA - a huge burst of joy.
true.
Love Bang-A-Boomerang! One of my favourites from their first Greatest Hits package (with the iconic image of the two couples on a park bench). I was 12 years old when my younger sister got our dad to buy it, and fell in love with ABBA as no other band at the time had impressed me with so many beautiful tunes: 'So Long', 'SOS', 'Waterloo', 'Fernando', 'Honey Honey' 'Ring Ring', 'He Is Your Brother', 'Another Town, Another Train', 'I Do I Do I Do...' and 'Mamma Mia' all sounded great then - and they still sound great nearly 50 years later!
Great geel good tune!!
YES!!! My old favorite from ABBA!! It's FUN!!!
Abba always makes me feel good, i like this song a lot and the video fits right in.
Its a lovely,happy,wonderfully happy ABBA song and video..lyrics are top notch too..love it!
Tak for alle de dejlige Abba sange - dejlige minder fra min barndom/ungdom 🥰
🙏🏻😊
This was the first of their lesser known songs I listened to, and it made me into a fan.
Hello David,
Dare l type this ?!
What the heck!
WHAT A BANGER! 😁
This song is better than an early cup of coffee!
Another favourite of mine...Fridas' enthusiasm always makes me smile!😁
Rock Me...is soo different to this..but is still unmistakably Abba.
Thankyou David...worth the wait for sure!
Ciao bello! ❤🤗
Hahah you do dare! And Im happy you do! Yeah its a truly happy tune, and Frida is really enthusiastic, love it! Gonna be interesting hearing the next one! Take care, ciao bella! 🙏🏻😊❤️
One of their best happiest songs.
Although this song is written by Bjorn and Benny it was actually first recorded by the Swedish duo Svenne&Lotta in the early 70s
Svenne was the former singer of The band Hep stars that Benny was a member of in the 60s
Their Swedish version was a huge hit and Abba decided to do English lyrics and record it them selves as well a few years later
dance while the music still goes on ,another old gem
Always loved this song... so good... and definitely under-rated!
Being literally old enough to be your mother- my eldest being born-89 - I can confidently say this was a big hit and popular in my younger day. Surprised you never heard it, it's a classic ABBA.
I was also born in 89, never heard it though 😁 Glad I did now 😊
A big hit where?
Love this song, I always find it happy and joyous. ABBA prepared this for the 1975 Melodifestivalen and gave it to their friends and label mates 'Svenne & Lotta' who finnished 3rd with it. The lyrics are a little clumbsy (to say English wasn't the groups first language and Bjorn hadnt yet become as prolifically genuius in his texts) by the gist is using the trajectory of Boomerang ~ if you throw it its supposed to come back ~ with love. If you give love you will recieve it in return. Personally I love how happy they are in this video, and so natural and unstarry. It was actually released as an ABBA A~side with SOS as its B~side in France! The video was one of 4 made for the ABBA album by celebrated film director Lasse Hallstrom on a budget. This is the only ABBA performance of the song.
When ABBA broke in Australia (and then the world) back in the day - this song was special to me. Boomerangs - Australia right? Then Marvel Comics images (I was into superhero comics as a kid) and then it was a banging tune too.
I watched a Australian Abba documentary and you guessed it,this was the title song ;-)
One of my favourite tracks on the
ABBA album. Great fun video with the cartoon graphics. The sound can be a bit ear piercing on some sound systems but that's a minor quibble.
Aaaaah! Love this song and it's only made better by the video. They were so in love back them, and it definitely shows through on many of their eatly videos, especially this one. Discovered the song on Gr hits vol 1 and it is a humdinger! It's nearly impossible to be sad watching this. Btw, I love your expressions watching this video--your says face says it all! Abba make it hard not to smile.
Yeah ABBA does plant a seed of happiness in their songs. Hard not to smile 😁
The title screams "Welcome Back Mr Toe!!!"
Thank you 😁😁
Ils étaient si heureux. ❤❤❤❤
ABBA FOREVER!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤Jag Älskar dig GivenToe, There is no song that ABBA has done that I don’t like.
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
I love this song and it made my day to see you pop up and review it 😁. You’ve been missed while on your well deserved vacatIon! Look forward to your Rock Me reaction, I think (hope!) you will love it 😍
Thank you! I missed you guys too! 🙏🏻😊
❤
Absolutely love this song
😁😁😁
a catchy and happy song! Glad you liked it:)
It is a nice song, I have always liked it. Svenne & Lotta sang this song too, but in Swedish.
Always loved this song and the video of Stockholm 1975😍Love your tatts by the way!😘
Heheh Thank you Nigel 😁😍
Förknippar denna sång med Svenne o Lotta, Svenne var var sångare i bandet Hep Stars där även Benny var med.
Tror inte jag hört den med ABBA tidigare
Tack för videon 🤗
Ser fram emot din reaktion på Rock Me 🥰
😁😁😁
Great to see you doing a abba song again, was getting worried you stopped, as last one was awhile back, great reaction as always, great dance song x
Ill never stop 😎
@@GivenToe great thanks David, I absolutely love your reactions x
Hello David, long time no see. My internet is still broken so I am way behind on videos. Anyway just 4 weeks until i'm off to Göteborg for Helloween + Hammerfall. Also bought tickets for Epic fest in Roskilde in January. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hello there! Oh I see, hope you get it repaired soon 🙏🏻 Oh sounds awesome! Have fun! 😎
Hello Thunder 😊😊😊
@@kaelynshea5533 Hello Kaelyn. 🤘
I'm a bit behind, GT, but gamely catching up. 💪 You're right... it's a really catchy, up-beat song: I really appreciate the bass and drums like a railway train hearing it this time. I think it's been underrated as people felt some of the lyrics were a bit silly (dumb de dumb dumb, hum de hum hum), but underneath, they do make an important and positive point. It just makes me feel good to hear this song again. Thank you, and for your reaction, as always!
Hey no worries Michael! Take your time my good sir! =) Yeah I understand what you mean about the lyrics indeed, but as you say, there is a good point in this song! Thanks Michael! =)
@@GivenToe No worries. Thanks for the reply. Enjoy your weekend GivenToe.
GivenToe: Have you seen the "Voyage" concert in person? I took my wife and daughter to it at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. It was AWESOME! If you haven't been, I hope that you and your family will get the opportunity to do so!! Awesome video review of this song.
I have not, but I sure want to 😊😊😊
This is exactly how the old trains sounded like in the old days!
Hi my bro, I really don't know but I thought you wouldn't like this song, but I'm happy you did. Yeah it is a beautiful song and it takes part of the first Greatest hits ABBA Album. It's not in my ABBA Top 12 but is a really good song. The next one "Rock me", I'm almost sure you will like. Don't say anything else. ;) Your reaction, as usual, sooo good! Hug you my bro.
Hey brother! Yeah, always a nice surprise with ABBA, never know what youre gonna get. ”Rock me” sounds interesting to say the least! Cant wait! Have a wonderful day my friend 🙏🏻😁😁😁
Jag tar en chansning här ... Jag tror att du är svensk, kanske t.o.m. från Umeå? (Jag skymtade boken om ölbryggning i din bokhylla ...)
I just loved Your reaction to this Super Happy Pop Explosion - one of ABBA:s best Pop songs ever. The driving Bass Line, the rolling drums, the Smashing Chorus! Wow! Everything is Better and Better throughout this Song! This group ABBA, Oh My God - how did they do it? Super song after Super song?
I actually saw ABBA live in my Swedish hometown of Umeå january 1975, just when their Meteor career was taking off! Iḿ a Lucky guy, although then in the 70:s I played in a Prog Rock Group and we were supposed to "Hate ABBA" - so I did, sort of ... But I knew in my Heart that their songs had great Harmonies and were quite catchy. So through the Years I started to really Listen to them and today I think their songs are Awsome, both the music and the lyrics.
Du har helt rätt i att jag är Svensk 😎 Dock är jag från Skåne 😁 Coolt du sett dem live ju! 😍
How gorgeous and happy the four of them appear in this lovely clip.
It wasn't a single because it was first released by Svenne & Lotta and became a hit. That's why people don't know about this ABBA song.
I like it a lot but there's something in the mix or production that makes it a little noisy.
It’s GivenTAKE not GivenToe lol 😂 Nice to see you again.
😂😂😂🤷🏼♂️
Always liked this song. I've mentioned this elsewhere, but the cassette version of this album had this track fade out half way through at the end of side 1, then you flipped over the tape and it would fade back in at the start of side 2. I guess this helped stop excessive waste of tape. It was weird though!
Thats interesting!
Jag har ju vuxit upp med Abba (jodå, gammal kärring 😅) så känner ju till låtarna, mer eller mindre. 'Bang a boomerang' är bra, 'Rock me' också den bra, ingen renodlad rocklåt, mer en rockig poplåt.
(Jag tror 'Rock me' kan vara svår göra en cover med annat stuk...
Tommy: hold my beer...)
Hahah Tommy ”hold my beer” indeed 😂🤷🏼♂️
That is a Song to Cover for tommy
Svenne & Lotta🇸🇪
Are you all moved into your new home? At least it looks like you've been able to move the "studio" out of the bedroom.
We are 😁 Yes indeed
hahaha i think you are comming an ABBA fan
Totally 😎
Hi, you have a very interesting channel with very good music & videos. I subscribe here 👏👏 You could make a reaction to the video clip of Perdida by the singer Monica Naranjo. She's incredible.Greetings and congratulations. I leave you the link of the video in the comment below 😜👍
Videoclip Perdida... Monica Naranjo 👍 ruclips.net/video/TY2zebY53T8/видео.html
Thank you! 🙏🏻😊
@@GivenToe 😜👌👍
Love the tune and production….but the lyrics are appalling! But I’m sure they learned their lesson!
I also prefer Black Ingvars version of this song blasphemy I know but I dont really care 😯🤘😆😎😉
Oh! Never heard it 😊
@@GivenToe Abba's lyrics mixed with the riffs from AC/DC's TNT. Black Ingvars' debute album Ear Candy Six is actually good concept album (dansband covers in metal versions).
Det Är Imte Abba, Det Är Svenne O Lotta,.!!! Hör Inte Misiket Sånt
??? Grundlurade.!!!
The chorus is so cringe. Maybe Björn had had a couple of hash brownies? Or thought he was writing the next Swedish Eurovision entry? Either way, I'm too embarrassed to listen to what is otherwise a pretty neat song.
It was a song that was sung in Swedish by Svenne and Lotta in Melodifestivalen. It got the third place and didn't make it to Eurovision.
That's why it became a Abba song in English. If Svenne o Lotta had made it to Eurovision the would had sang this version. I dont know if they recorded it in English
Everyone can have their own opinion 😂🙏🏻😊
Hello Giventoe,
why no reaction about the Abba song "Eagle"???
For me the best song and the instruments are just wonderful...a little bit psychedelic.
You will be surprised,i bet on it!😉🙂
Greetings
But the long album version and NOT! the Video version,because the guitar part at the end of the song is very special...completly different compared with all the other Abba songs.
That's what i mean with psychedelic.
He will react to Eagle when he comes to 'ABBA - The Album'. At the moment he reacts to the album 'ABBA' and he does all reactions in chronological order, so the next album will be 'Arrival'.
@@Lisa-M Ok, thank you very much for pointing that out. I didn't even pay attention to the fact that Giventoe rated all Abba albums chronologically. So don't get me wrong, I think Abba is really good too, but that only refers to the really good songs and Eagle simply belongs there It's just a matter of taste and I can't do anything with many of Abba's songs because it "only" sounds like Abba. The song Eagle is on a completely different level and you notice that clearly when the last two minutes start and you Listening to these two minutes again and again.Giventoe will certainly do that too and his mouth may hang open again, he gets up and goes back through the door, closes it to recover and comes back speechless.Yes and sounds right then again these two minutes😁✌️👍
I will do them in chronological order 🙏🏻😊
