Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another ABBA reaction made possible via PATREON with RING RING. ABBA brings out the ammo on this track, catchy melodies, benny slaying keys, Ana and Frida looking fabulous, and those sounds obliterated. A highlight thus far from their self titled album. It's getting lots a replay! See it now.

This is one of those songs when you're driving in your car and this one comes up on the radio, it gets you immediately in a good mood and it makes your day.
And then you get a speeding ticket.
@@SpaceCattttt
Lol! Yeah, some songs I just can't listen to in the car!
And the speed is raising 🤣 bee careful.
@@SpaceCattttt 🤣🤣🤣 never thought of that 🤣
Top song! But danger of you drive a car🙏..,....You will play it loud!🤣😂
It's great to see someone of your age reacting so enthusiastically to the brilliance of ABBA. Would also like to add another vote for reactions to Tiger and Bang-A-Boomerang. Trust me, you'll lose your bananas over both.
ABBA is great, my mother who grew up to ABBA forever a loyal fan made sure that i grew up to their music.
Great story, 1980 when my mom was 13.
ABBA released a competition for their fans in Sweden. (Whoever collected the most pictures, flyers, from newspapers and other sources of ABBA during the whole summer of 1980, could choose anyone from the ABBA team to spend a whole day with).
And guess what, Frida was the one she looked up to more than anything in the world. Believe it or not, my mom collected around 2300 pictures etc during that summer and won the contest by miles, which really wasnt an easy task back then.. Just a few years ago i watched some video footage with my grandmother who recorded parts of that day. And there really is some beautiful stuff in it from Frida.. She literally was the one who conviced my moms to follow her dream of becoming a famous ballerina in Sweden, which she eventually fulfilled.
Great vid btw, genuine reaction i love it!
I love Ring Ring, but the original version is much better. Frida looks fantastic 🌺
Yeah, I prefer the original version without the sax, if I'm honest.
The sax in a song like this reminds me of a typical swedish phenomenom called Dansband and that style of music make me cringe.
The sax free version? Yes, please! ABBA are flirting with all kinds of music and, unfortunately enough, they occationally bump into the slick and cheezy.
@@flugsven The sax free version is on the More ABBA Gold album, as I remember.
ruclips.net/video/T-bhfJLPEQ4/видео.html
@@flugsven What?? I adore the sax. It's not a dansband sounding instrument at all. It's JAZZY, like all the greats! Makes me think of Benny Goodman and sing sing sing (it's got everything from trumpet, to sax, to clarinet)
@@helmaschine1885 Well, we all have different taste, you know 🤷🏼♀️ 😃
Michael B. Tretow was a genius. I have read that he suffered a stroke in 2001 and he has lost his speech and his memory for a long time. That's really sad.
Yes this is really sad!😢
@Lisa M 😯 Oh no! I didn't know that. I was thinking about him, because of ABBA's new album, and I hadn't heard of his name mentioned, as contributing in the new project.
@@bachatamusica I had also asked me if he was involved in the new album but then I read this. :-(
@@Lisa-M 🙁 I just hope that he has good friends and family, that are helping him through this difficult time in his life.
@@bachatamusica Yes, I hope that, too.
They tried to represent Sweden at eurovision with this song a year or two before Waterloo
I can't decide what I like better - the song or the fantastically flamboyant outfits?

I'm still thinking you should count Hasta Manana as unreacted, because Dereck only reacted to the spanish version. As you only list the english versions he didn't really react to the original version of Hasta Manana. And I hope he will do it one day. 😁
OMG...you sure done your homework. Good job mate ....
Surely we get Gonna sing you my love song shortly! He is your Brother is fantastic when viewing the live in Australia video. I really like the groove in two for the price of one, even if I'm not sure what to do with the jokey ending (as the whole thing was a good set up!). Watch Out for the punk rock win!
Nicely done
ABBA "Bang-A-Boomerang" single. 😎👍
I love the rotary hand dial movements in their choreography.., 😂
This was three decades before the mobile took over most peoples lives.
Typisch Guter Laune Song !!! 👏👏👏
Bei uns hier in Germany, ist es 7.10 Uhr am Morgen, ich habe heute frei und mein Tag konnte nicht besser beginnen !!! 👌👌👌 🥰
THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, ABBA
DANKE DERECK für eine Auswahl aus dem Jahr '73,
da war auch nicht alles perfekt, aber um einiges besser, als die heutigen Zeiten !!! 🤦
Mit ABBA Tracks, kann man einiges besser ertragen und dank DERECK'S REACTION
CHALLANCE, können wir immer wieder in schönen Errinnerungen schwelgen !!!👍👍👍
BLEIBT GESUND UND GEBT AUF EUCH ACHT 🙏🙏🙏‼️
Thank you for do "Ring Ring",
when ABBA wasn't called this
I remember that in my young time (I'm 63 years) there was no cell phone (or internet) and not everyone had a phone
and when I was dating my parents protested because I hung up on the phone to talk to my girlfriend or was waiting for her call and did not want them to use it and occupy it
what times those hahaha
"Ring ring" was composed to go to Eurovision 1973 but it was third in the Swedish preselection
there they went with Agnetha with a very advanced first pregnancy (at eight mounths, seen in some photos)
"Ring Ring" is the third single of the future ABBA (at these time called theirself as 'Björn & Benny; Agnetha & Frida')
This Official video is from 1974, after the triumph with "Waterloo"
and the costumes they wear are superheroes
(You see these costumes when did a reaction to "Honey honey" in TV perfomances)
ABBA remixed the original and applied the 'wall of sound' technique to it first time
ABBA decided to release it again in 1974 as the next single in the UK after "Waterloo", but it barely reached #32
For me it is a very good song and it had its success a little beyond Sweden in 1973 and another countries of Europe
It is glam rock style, such as the following, not in its chronology but in the Swedish preselection for Eurovision:
the glorious and iconic "Waterloo"
I wish You a great day
My best regards to You
see you in the next
GOD bless You!
They wore the same outfits on the Honey Honey video that you’ve reacted to . FABBAlous.
Extraordinary pop group in the world forever .
This version of Ring Ring is a remix of the original version from 1973, and it was done after their Eurovision victory with Waterloo in 1974. The original version of Ring Ring is quite similar but without the sax, and it has a slightly different mix of the vocals. It was performed the first time at the national pre-contest for Eurovision (Melodifestivalen) in 1973, but ABBA only came 3rd and thus didn't qualify, but it became a substantial hit in Scandinavia. There is a wonderful video from 1973 filmed outside the Danish Broadcasting Company building in Copenhagen. It's as iconic as this one, and very funny, take a look here: ruclips.net/video/ZEbZqnC2oN4/видео.html
I think this version is better 🌺
Oh my god, Thank you. I thought I’ve somehow missed the sax in this song every single time I’ve listened to it. Makes total sense that it is the remix. Honestly thought I was going crazy. LOL. Thank you again.😂😂😂😂
I prefer Ring Ring without the saxophone just my personal preference
@@ollier67 without the sax is better
@@Chrisyt272 ABBA make you go crazy from time to time. No worries, it's just the way it is :-)
Yay Dereck you're getting it. The Ring Ring promo was filmed in 1974 at exactly the same time as Waterloo. Ring Ring had been released in the UK in October 73 but didnt chart although it did well in some European countries and was a huge hit in Scandinavia. It was re-released as the follow-up to Waterloo in the UK but with virtually no promotion, failed after hitting Number 32. the saxophone was added to the remix of Ring Ring but isnt on the original version which is faster in tempo. Ring Ring was recorded in English, Swedish, German and Spanish. Please review 'Gonna Sing You My Lovesong' and 'He Is Your Brother' soon.
Agree on “lovesong”. One of my favorite Frida leads.
Yep 2 other great songs, love the slow rhythm of "he is your brother" and the other is great ballad 😍
... But every Abba song (almost) is a winner 😋
You haven't done the official clip of Bang A Boomerang.
There are quite a few versions of Ring Ring. A more rocky version was done to suit the American market as was the additional brass.
The album cut is more tepid.
I grew up listening to ABBA & I always love them, They are one of best bands in the world, thanks for the cool reaction, and don't forget to react on " Voulez-Vous" one of their best.
They did a live vocal version of Ring Ring on the Tommy Cooper Hour. I remember watching it. They wore these outfits.
That version is very cool. And it has some horns during the chorus, I love it.
ABBA Bang a Bomerang 👍👍👍
I love this song, the vocals, and yes, even the style. Fantastic piece of music.
I love these earlier songs as they have a kind of childlike innocence to them. The videos to them also give off an air of simplistic yet charming ambiance to them. The wardrobe is bang on for the time this song was made, coming out of the, 'Glam Rock', era, and the small nuances of certain actions of the 2 girls is so endearing. (The circular motions with their hands emulating the action of ringing a number on a dial phone, in particular.) You can't help but grin from ear to ear listening to this song. How this was never a major hit is baffling, although at the time they weren't a household name having not yet entered or won the Eurovision Song Contest, that would happen a year later. How this song wasn't the one to do it will always remain a mystery as it has all the qualities of, 'Waterloo', written all over it.
Have you done, 'Nina, Pretty Ballerina', yet?
Derek, I just recently found your channel and love it!! You have to do Man In the Middle and Dum Dum Diddle!!
As many people have already said, this song was their Swedish qualifier for 1973 Eurovision. Agnetha was VERY pregnant with Linda at the time and they even had a back up singer to sing with Frida if she went into labour. She didn't and was able to perform, but they came in third. 1974 they came back with Waterloo and a music legend was born!!
this is the remix version from 1974. the waterloo album in the USA had a separate remix of the song. the original english version of the song had different vocals. they also recorded the song in spanish and in german languages.
the original version of the song was in the swedish language.
This is why they were a WORLD WIDE phenomenon at the time. They were greeted around the world similar to The Beatles. Fun fact - they took off first here in Australia!! Great react man.
It's still beyond me how on earth they could possibly lose the Eurovision nationals with this rock-n-roll banger. It screams HIT HIT HIT. (to be fair, the public vote was in their favor, it was the jury who put them third (facepalm) ). And, by the way, the Spanish version of Ring is HOT!
National judges used to be very conservative. When a new sound hit the scene they wers always super scared about it. If this made it through to Eurovision I feel like it could have won, but then we might not have had waterloo!
The song that won Sweden’s national contest in that year is indeed more traditional and folky, but it’s actually very nice!

@@Godbluffer thank you for sharing! I had actually checked them out cuz I was curious haha those were the years of good music in general, even the short lived radio hits were kind of cute and mostly melodic or dancy. But ABBA's Ring Ring was a galaxy away from the selected song, in my personal opinion, as far as the hit potential and energy. But I do agree the winning national song was quite lovely, I enjoyed it.
@@VasiliyKomendant Yeah, I’m also pretty convinced ABBA would have experienced an earlier breakthrough, had they been able to bring this song to Europe’s attention, although I feel that in their development it would have perhaps been a bit too early, so I think ‘the gods’ just had a different plan for them. By the way, in my home country of the Netherlands Ring Ring already made it to the top 5, which is almost unbelievable for a song that hasn’t even won the national contest of a different country, so the writing was already on the wall!
@@Godbluffer wow! That's incredible, I had no idea it charted that well in some countries/territories. Amazing! And I do totally agree with you, it all happened at the exactly right moment, when its was supposed to. It just still surprises me how short sighted the jury and some other skeptics were at the time :)
I had this YT video playing with the captions on, and around 3.50 and 7.00 where Dereck says "Bjorn is also glammed up", both times the caption said "the urine is also glammed up" .. LOL ! 😂
Yes, this translation programme is really funny. There are often such errors in almost all videos with subtitles. But for deaf people it could be irritating as they not hear what is really said. :-/
@@Lisa-M Yes, you are right about how annoying and frustrating this would be for deaf people .. I was so amused by this particular error that I hadn't really thought about the bigger picture .. Good point.
Excellent analysis as usual Dereck! Can you do Bang a Boomerang to.
Another great songs from this album are "Love isn't easy (but it sure is hard enough)", "He is your brother", "Disillusion" (only song not written by Benny/Bjorn but by Agnetha) - may also listen to Agnetha's swedish version of this song "Mina Ogon" (My eyes) (different arrangements) and maybe "Santa Rosa" (sounds like hommage to late 60s).
And don't forget "Nina, Pretty Ballerina" and "Me And Bobby And Bobby's Brother". 👍
Love Disillusion 💘
He is your brother is best served live at Australia
For the (I guess many) ones who didn't notice, even the hand movement makes sense, mimicking the spin of old dials ^^
Love to see you in the groove Dereck! You are one hilarious guy who loves ABBA as we all do!
Hey Derek. This was their very first great hit. It appeared in 1972, two years before Waterloo; but they were'nt chosen to represent Sweden at the Eurofestival. It was composed in a time when the phone was still hanging on the wall and by the way this tune is also my ringtone in my phone nowadays. Please note that I only have ABBA music in my phone. All of it: their entire discography.
This is ABBA's first try at Eurovision. There is this series called Melodifestivalen and their they presented this song "Ring Ring Ring". And since Eurovision allows 6 people on stage, so they have the extras as part of ABBA. By the way the song didn't win even in Melodifestivalen and came third and Sweden sent in the winner Malta with the song "Sommaren som aldrig säger nej". By the way the song Ring Ring was in Swedish and called "Ring Ring (Bara Du Slog En Signal)". The very talented Neil Sedaka wrote the English version you put
Hi, Dereck!
Oh no, you reacted to the remixed version. You simply. MUST do the album version from 1973 in SWEDISH. That's the original. It's soooo much better. This version here is a remixed version for the U.S. market.
I agree 100%
I don't think the original album version had a music video which might be why. But yes the original cut is a must!!
ruclips.net/video/o9lieqtJZTE/видео.html
Love the video but love the tighter arrangement of this song that came out after this version, I think it first appeared on Greatest Hits volume 1 but I might be wrong. Love them miming dialing a ROTARY PHONE, yes that song is THAT OLD!! And so am I. LMAO.
7:14 I hate to be that guy again, but it wasn't Janne Schaffer and Ola Brunkert on guitar and drums here. It was Lasse Wellander on guitar and (I belive) Roger Palm hiding there behind Agnethas hips. The bass player wasn't the usual Rutger Gunnarson either btw. I can't recognize him. He looks a little like fretless bass player Stefan Brolund. But it might also be Mike Watson from England (that sometimes played for them when Rutger was busy with other engagements).
It makes me glad, that you react to this song. This make the days happier. :D Thanks.
Always a great reaction. I too prefer the initial version (without saxophone). The band brought in Neil Sedaka to help with the English lyrics from the original Swedish.
Yay! You've got the best version, the one with the sax!!!!!
There’s a version of this without the sax as well. I believe that one is the ‘official’ track.
You havent done the official video to ”When I kissed the teacher”. Opening track on Arrival. Bjorns own favourite, great guitar work
He has already reacted to When I Kissed The Teacher. But in some countries the reaction seems to be blocked. The only official video which he hasn't done is now Bang-A-Boomerang.
@@Lisa-M yes he has!😘
@@Lisa-M Yeah, among those countries are my/ABBA's home country, Sweden. So, unfortunately I haven't been able to see his reaction to that song.
@@antonwiderberg7571 That's bad. But perhaps the video will be in 4K one day and Dereck does another reaction to it. With luck you can see it then.
@@Lisa-M which is one of my favourites! Come on Dereck 🪃 😁
Derek you need to listen to some of Agnetha's solo songs....she is awesome.
You should react to Abba´s Tiger!
Legendary.
The contrast in the girls' outfits is amazing on this one - Frida's is gorgeous and Anna's looks like something her mom made for a school talent show. (And yet she looks gorgeous obv.) This is a less known song - it wasn't a hit in the UK and it's not on the Abba Gold album, but it's still so cute and full of pizzazz. Plus we get to see the band, and the drum break is neat. (I'm not too keen on the sax they added to the chorus though.)
Now it´s time to react to Tiger, Bang a Bomerang, Lovelight, Dum Dum Diddle,
Have been shouting for dum dum diddle for months now 😁😂😂
I love ABBA, I love Agnetha, I love Frida. Greetings from Chile!!
This was their entry to Sweden's selection for Eurovision in 1973, it was placed 3rd by the jury who chose the song.
glam ABBA is the best ABBA
Great reaction! Love ABBA! But I think you may have missed one more ABBA video. The song is called Bang-a-Boomerang. Catchy song. Enjoy!
Noo, you reacted to the remixed version :'(. The album version from 1973 is where it's at, it's lovely. And there's a really badly made LOVELY video of that song.
It's just me, but I prefer this one! I feel like the other is too high in the sky!
Dont like this version so much. The sax is so roughly mixed in. Love the song though!
Such enthusiasm from you #DereckReacts love it. You haven't reacted to the Official Video of Bang a Boomerang yet.
There is a great mash up of ABBA and Blondie doing Ring Ring called Hanging On The Ring Ring you should check out.
One of my favourites. There is also a different version and video recorded earlier than this one. It's available on RUclips, you should definitely look at it.
There's that third voice.
THIS IS THEIR FIRST ATTEMPT IN THE SWEDISH SONG CONTEST. THEY ONLY REACHED 3'RD PLACE. THE YEAR AFTER THEY WON WITH WATERLOO. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I believe they should have won the Eurovision 73 with Ring Ring...i suppose there is a reason they did not. It made them more determined than ever to go all the way in 74.
Ahhhh the FIRST , world release song as ABBA and what a song ,full on pop and dance ,exhilarating, beautiful costumes a feast for the eyes ears heart and mind .Dereck you stand on a calm serene beach looking to sea, and with THIS song in 1973,the ABBA tsunami was on the horizon and would change the landscape FOREVER ,they would overwhelm the world and drag us back into the ABBA SEA and immerse us in their beauty and love and we would see and experience such joy and ecstacy as we have NEVER felt before ,and with this our better angels of our nature would possess us and radiate out of us to all we meet and care about and be lifted to new heights of existence. And after a 40 year absence they return as if NO TIME has passed to do it all again, they are special and beautiful, a gift from GOD.
Hey Derick, there’s another official video you haven’t done I think, Bang-A-Boomerang!
Love from Sweden. This song was seared into my brain at 1 yo. Could have worse ear worms.
I was seven or eight and already hated it, like most schlager music, dansband and svensktoppen stuff (but I love many other Abba tunes, especially from the last 2-3 albums).
I don't see Tropical Loveland, The King has lost his crown or Happy new year in your reactions. Would love to.:)
He has already reacted to The King Has Lost His Crown and Happy New Year. Just Tropical Loveland is missing from these three. :-)
I am from the uk and is only fairly recently i found out how popular Abba are worldwide and not just in europe and how very nice Agnetha is .I am old enough to remem ber watching the eurovision song contest in 1974 i think it was when i was a child.
Always love your thoughts and reactions
Younger generations might not recognize that the girls' hand motions during the choruses are the act of dialing a dial telephone.
Me encanta esta canción!!. ABBAes mágico. Saludos desdeVenezuela!!!
I love that you love them. You appreciate the details. So great. Thank you.
Abba in my youth was disliked in Sweden. But not by me. This is the good stuff. I love the English language versions! ❤
They have a Spanish version of this song too.
Is Bjorn wearing eyeshadow? I have never noticed that before! 😁
That was mandatory in Glam Rock (see Sweet).
You should really listen to the Swedish version of this song. It was their entry in the 1973 Melodifestivalen. It's hard to believe that it didn't won, but it was probably fate. If they had won, they might not have won the next year with Waterloo. And that might have changed the whole course of their career. 🎶🎵
As a proud swede🇸🇪❤️ I have to say that the swedish version is the best one.
A very proud Swede here 😊😊😊❤❤
They hired Neil Sedaka, America composer and singer with hits in the 50s and 60s to translate to English lyrics. It did not make it to Eurovision 1973 but I love it. One of my favorites. Glad you love it. ❤
Your reaction was MAGIC !!
They've done about 30 videos, so you've got a long way to go. A couple of my favourites; Money, money, money, The day before you came, One of us, When I kissed the teacher.
'Ring Ring' was ABBA's entry in the Eurovision Song Context the year before the year they won it with 'Waterloo'
Can’t help but dance about in your chair to this one 👍👍👍
The girls look stunning, so cute and sexy, the perfect combo.
Fun song.

Love your reaction again. Still many songs to listen to. Did you react to the Mamma Mia video, Tropical Loveland or Tiger video? Those are official videos but there are many other great songs. There's Gonna sing you my love song, Disillusion, The King has lost his crown and so many more.
He has already reacted to Mamma Mia and The King Has Lost His Crown. Tropical Loveland and Tiger have no official videos. The only official video left is Bang-A-Boomerang.
My favorite Abba song since I first heard it in the early 70's. It summarized the relationship with my then girlfriend, who later became my wife of 40 plus years.
excellent early abba song, great arrangements and vocals. so clever. Panay
Love love love
I think there is a version somewhere in which are choruses in different languages - English, Swedish, German, and maybe Spanish.
Back in 2015 or 2016, I went to see an ABBA tribute band, "Arrival From Sweden", in Providence, R.I., and the first song they played was "Bara Du Slog En Signal", which is "Ring Ring" in Swedish.

They're a rock band.
ring ring and waterloo videos were not filmed at the same time. the songs are from different albums and different years. that was just the style and glam look they went for back then. after the 3rd album they were not as glam looking.. good early rockiish glam song is taken from waterloo called KING KONG SONG (unofficial video) this song has agnetha screaming in the song twice. thats worth a listen!. the song was originally titled MR. SEX. it got some airplay in sweden but no other place. this song is not a masterpiece but a fun uptempo rocker track from their album waterloo. check it out. thanks dereck
Ring Ring is ABBAs entry to represent Sweden in the 1973 Eurovision Song Contest and failed to be selected to represent Sweden. They entered again the following year and were selected to represent Sweden and won the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 with Waterloo.
Ahem, Dereck you haven't done all the official videos.. Aren't you missing 'Tiger' ? I think you'll love the bridge. The song is a personal favourite of mine. Video is so good too :) - Holy Bandanas!
Tiger hasn't an official video. It's unofficial like the black and white video of Hasta Manana.
Ah, am sorry - Tiger just looked official to me with the production of the whole thing. Maybe was one from a TV special or something? Still, I love it to bits :) @@Lisa-M
@@tonyduffy7441 No problem. Unfortunately I also don't know more about the prodcution of the video. But I also love it. :-)
Another fantastic song ! 🎵 🎵
Released before Waterloo and re- Released after Waterloo. ?. 🌈💚⭐
With Ring Ring they wanted to take part at the ESC in 1973 but they only reached rank 3 in the preliminary decision so they tried again in 1974 with Waterloo. What came next is music history.
I like the album version more than this version in the official video. Without the saxophones it’s better in my opinion and I think the album version is also a little bit faster. Now there is still one song with an official video left: Bang-A-Boomerang. React to it and you will get in a good mood immediately. :-D
The 1973 album version is amazing, it's in my top 12 ABBA songs, this 1974 version is a little weird, and as you mentioned is slower.
Yes ! .. I've lost track of how many times I've asked Dereck to react to "Bang A Boomerang" .. It's in my top handful of ABBA songs .. Wonderful song, and fantastic video .. Can't help but feel good when I watch it !
Off this album, please react to Nina Pretty Ballerina, I Am Just A Girl and Rock N Roll Band
Did you pick up on the hand gestures of ringing with an old dial phone?
Love your enthusiasm 😁 Ring Ring was the Swedish song to Eurovision 1973 but they didn’t win - they tried again 1974 with Waterloo which became their ticket to the world
For me this is the perfect pop tune
Love this song!
I have never heard this version with the heavy sax in the chorus.
I believe it's the version that was released for the USA market.
@@nigelmurray9000I prefere the original version.
@@samroozen6719 me too,it's the one that was big in 1976 here in Australia!
Hey Dereck get this into ya
Derek please do some Donna Summer. It's been far too long and far too little! She's far too overlooked and underestimated!The one and only Queen!
Love the glam outfits!
