I love this gloriously over-produced song. It’s what makes it so memorable. Like you said, it just keeps changing and getting better and better. This is one of those songs they made where you can feel them wanting to fill every space. It’s pretty great ear candy.
I have always LOVED this song. It’s like a sonic boom of melody, harmony and synthy dance beat energy. Agnetha’s vocals are literally soaring to unbelievable heights. I’ve always thought this is one of ABBA’s under appreciated songs. I love the similarities with the opener of the Voulez-Vous album which is “As Good As New” because both are high octane dance pop bangers and they share the same “sneak up on you” gentle, mellow intros and then BANG! They kick into warp drive. ❤ABBA❤
My favourite part is the "Losing you" in the second verse, it caught me so off guard with the reverb and everything. glad you enjoyed the song, after i annoyed you with it in a few comments 😂
If you 2 haven't watched the performance video to this from 'ABBA in Swizerland special' you have missed the sun and the moon together.It's a dual performance in transition with LOVERS.The intro featuring Agnetha's close up facial shots and the way she uses the expressions in her face, is just out of this world for every one that feels in love.Just watch and tell us (since you don't wanna share the video with us)
I love the reaction of these two everytime they hear an Abba song. It's about time the younger generation gets to know them. I first heard them in 1974 and bought their Greatest Hits album and have been a fan ever since.
A dreamy introduction segueing into a power-pop chorus and a galloping synth-accented midsection that pre-dates much of the galloping , driving Eurodance/Disco to come in the 80s and 90s. Pop perfection!
Voulez Vous is ABBA's disco album. They were part of the music scene at that time, and everyone was doing disco (think Blondie "Heart of Glass" and Kiss "I Was Made for Loving You" ). ABBA's music is so much more than disco. Their music is timeless and covers many genres. Keep listening, and you'll hear it all.
Also Rod Stewart,The Rolling Stones did disco stuff at the same period.But only Abba got so heavily attacked by some part of the music press at the time.But the band didn't care,fans made this album N01 again and was their fastest selling album at the time.
These is from the album "Voulez Vous" (1979), when ABBA music have influences of disco style My favourite song of these album and style is "As good as new" & "If it wasn't for the nights" behind the worldwide hit "Chiquitita" "Kisses of fire" (1979) have a premiere in the TV perfomance "ABBA in Swizterland" You could see Agnetha 'on fire' more seductive (think that She was separated with Björn as a couple only two mounths ago) there is also a video clip showing ABBA in normal clothes rehearsing "Kisses of fire"
This is a 10 for me. My third favorite song of theirs. I have 8 favorites from the original album not the deluxe edition. I can tell by both your faces this song will score well.
What are the 2 ones ahead of this one? For me Lovers live a little longer is same level as Kisses of Fire for me. Killer songs. In the top for me are also Name of the game, slipping through my fingers and Our last summer. Damn, many many more left haha
@@joemighty1463 Actually my first two favorites are from different albums. Take a chance on me and Knowing me knowing you. This is my favorite album and most of the songs follow close behind. The only two that are just ok for me is I have a dream and the king has lost his crown. Otherwise favorites all around.
If you want to hear a song that WILL surprise you, My Mama Said is so funky and different and shows them experimenting with different types of music. If you just want to be delighted, Gonna sing you my love song is Frida at her sultry best.
I love seeing the boy's reaction to ABBA's songs. I've always listened since I was 5 years old and seeing someone who gets emotional with their songs is entertaining. It reminds me of when I discovered each ABBA song.
Hi, Marruussa🤣, sorry... Marissa, Tyler! It's an excelent song: the instrumentation (deep bass and drums), the girls' vocals by the way and the boys' backing vocals.👍 There is a (lipsinc) TV presentation of this song on Switzerland(1979) so good. Agnetha in pink 💖👌and Frida in purple❤️👌 I hope you are very well and i will see you next time guys... Love from Chile 🇨🇱😘👍
I've already commented on the song, which as the title suggests is FIRE ! .. But I want to add a compliment for Marissa .. Looking elegantly fantastic in the black top and necklace ! 👌👌
Can't believe you guys haven't reacted to this track... One of my all time favourites, and a B Side to Does your Mother Know if a remember rightly... WOW I feel old haha
3.31;- yes ABBA are full of surprises they can pull anything out of the bag..they are musical genuises, end of!! This is not in my top 10 of fav ABBA tracks but its great all the same, really catchy
Kissed Of Fire is a typical Voulez Vous track and i thought it to be contender for single release as If It Wasn't For The Nights or As Good As New. The album, never considered their best overall, is imo underrated.. because so many songs suitable for single as on no other album. Voulez Vous, Chiquitita, I Have A Dream and Does Your Mother Know had been the international singles. Angeleyes was in the charts with Voulez Vous in the US and UK, As Good As New was sccussfull in Mexico but probably more so by it's spanish B-Side of I Have A Dream.... but besides these internationally released 6 songs If It Wasn't For The Nights and Kisses Of Fire could have easily been successful singles, maybe even more than Does Your Mother Know and Voulez Vous.. in total 8 out of 10 songs hot contender. What a percentage. Only the brilliant The King Has Lost His Crown and Lovers (Live A Little Longer) were not strong enough for single release... what an album. I couldn't say that 8 out of 10 or 9 were suitable for single release on Super Trouper or The Visitors...
I was bought up on ABBA and ELO. Those were the days. My dad hated ABBA, but, every time a new ABBA album came out, even though he'd have to hear it, he'd still buy it for my mum
If you like key changes you should try there song Dance While The Music Still Goes On. It´s an older song but a charming one ,a bit like Another Town Another Train. Witch you liked.
'When you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I belong' at 1:24 - sounds very similar to the breathy BeeGees style - are ABBA taking from anywhere/everywhere and paying tribute to the 70s while actually in the middle of it all - look at Frida and Agnetha's Wonder Woman inspired belts and Studio 54 inspired dresses on the cover of the album and the Star Wars- like lightsaber that Benny is holding on to - and they put it all together and put their ABBA stamp on it to make it their own - genius.
Huge vocal range from the girls, particularly Frida who has the longer travel to the unison chorus. Agnetha is a pure soprano, so she has the shorter travel to that high unison chorus. Frida is a mezzo-soprano so she has the longer travel to that high unison chorus. Bjorn Ulveras has explained this over the years. He said Frida has a very wide range.
Another superb ABBA disco track. There is a great TV video performance of them performing this track with the girls looking super glam and gorgeous. (Don't they always?)
The orchestra that Tyler mentioned was something that was incorporated a lot with songs back in the 70s, especially with disco songs. Maybe the 60s as well? Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.
I got really excited when i saw the notification to this one with 'Abba in Swizerland' performance pictured 'front page'.But got rather disapointed again when i found out it was only the audio.
Loved you`re reaction to this brilliant song!. Now you have your Christmas tree up & as It`s near Christmas... Now Is the perfect time to listen to "Like an angel passing through my room" & don`t worry If you cry, It Is so haunting & emotional, besides being pure quality of course.
The whole of the voulez vous album is great,being a fan of disco it was right up my street, if i have to pick a track it would be……if it wasn’t for the nights.
This one is great. But check out "Lovers" ( which has a video, from the same Tv show as "KissesOfFire") Keep up the Good Work. You guys R great fun to watch.
Great song !!! .. The only little thing that could be improved on, IMHO, is the slightly muddy vocal mix .. I like to be able to clearly hear the singers instead of having them somewhat drowned out by the instrumentation .. But it's such a good song that I still love it ! .. Looks like you both enjoyed it too.👍.. Cheers, Wayne
Probably the most underrated ABBA song. Rarely mentioned but easily one of my favorite songs by them. I think this was a b-side song wich is quite insane to me.
Sometimes I have differences of taste and opinion about ABBA's songs and albums. We can not always like everything and/or everyone And this is one of the cases I know this was a highly requested song, and the majority of comments confirm it. In my opinion it is an acceptable song (5/6pts) on a good album (7pts), but it has highs and lows The level of ABBA's songs is so good that for me they have many better songs (I have 50 with a minimum of 8pts) and better albums too (Voulez Vous is seventh among the nine ABBA albums) And I must clarify that the interpretation in the TV special in Switzerland is very good ABBA uses the resource of a spoken or narrated introduction a lot and so well, follow by a change of rhythm. Remember just a few: Dance (while the music still goes on) Move on Thank you for the music Don't shut me down (curiously with Agnetha in the most of all introductions) and I like all these songs much more than "Kisses of Fire"
Yay 15 minutes till Kryptonite! And don’t forget you have all the solo A8BA stuff to listen to and The Musical 🎵 Chess ♟️ and lots of solo albums by all the members except for Bjorn!!
You should hear Benny's current version of this song, with his fiddlers, reeds, flutist and such in "BAO" :) A different vibe for sure (Helen and Tommy singing instead of Agnetha and Frida), but it's still him.
Check out this version of the song with a "maturer" version with Benny Anderssons Orkester: th-cam.com/video/e4NUzGrpnDA/w-d-xo.html Still good but different!
Lovers live a little longer - if you are constantly impressed with ABBA, and always surprised - as you can record all the times you state that - then the same will happen when you react, to the above song. + Still review Dum Dum Diddle Thanks Adrian McLean.
The vocal ranges of this track are amazing.
I love this gloriously over-produced song. It’s what makes it so memorable. Like you said, it just keeps changing and getting better and better. This is one of those songs they made where you can feel them wanting to fill every space. It’s pretty great ear candy.
!Starts like a dreamy ballad,bursts into a power pop/rock tune n then turns into space disco.Abba can't let you get bored.
Agnetha's belting in this song and how long she holds it at the end really does it for me in this song!
I have always LOVED this song. It’s like a sonic boom of melody, harmony and synthy dance beat energy. Agnetha’s vocals are literally soaring to unbelievable heights. I’ve always thought this is one of ABBA’s under appreciated songs. I love the similarities with the opener of the Voulez-Vous album which is “As Good As New” because both are high octane dance pop bangers and they share the same “sneak up on you” gentle, mellow intros and then BANG!

One of my favourite albums
Abba kicking musical ass! LOL
Actually it's both voices soaring.
My favourite part is the "Losing you" in the second verse, it caught me so off guard with the reverb and everything.
glad you enjoyed the song, after i annoyed you with it in a few comments 😂
"Losing you" is probably my favourite moment in the whole ABBA catalogue. Gives me chills almost every time!
Agreed. I wonder how many layers of vocals went into that. Glorious to listen to.
Agreed I thought for sure Tyler would…
Agree that is such a magical musical moment. These guys are absolutely genius
If you 2 haven't watched the performance video to this from 'ABBA in Swizerland special' you have missed the sun and the moon together.It's a dual performance in transition with LOVERS.The intro featuring Agnetha's close up facial shots and the way she uses the expressions in her face, is just out of this world for every one that feels in love.Just watch and tell us (since you don't wanna share the video with us)
Yesyesyes! That performance is something that you shouldnt miss!!!
@@viktorthefirst even if it's playback?
@@domenicosacco5845 you took the comment right out of my typing fingers 😆
@@jerrycote659 matter of time⏲
The Switzerland performance of Agnetha is superb, unfortunately most clips on YT have the CD audio...
Don't Shut me down, starts just like the same as kisses of fire slow and almost balladry then all of a sudden... Boommm
I absolutely love this song and those vocals. So good. Fantastic harmonies, key change and those high notes they held forever at the end.
Total wall of sound blasts through....Fantastic...
Now that WAS a group ...... what a song!
ABBA FOREVER
I love the reaction of these two everytime they hear an Abba song. It's about time the younger generation gets to know them. I first heard them in 1974 and bought their Greatest Hits album and have been a fan ever since.
I responded exactly the same when I first heard this upon its release in 1979. Great reaction and so much fun to watch you both take it all in.
A dreamy introduction segueing into a power-pop chorus and a galloping synth-accented midsection that pre-dates much of the galloping , driving Eurodance/Disco to come in the 80s and 90s. Pop perfection!
Great,accurate discription.
Voulez Vous is ABBA's disco album. They were part of the music scene at that time, and everyone was doing disco (think Blondie "Heart of Glass" and Kiss "I Was Made for Loving You" ). ABBA's music is so much more than disco. Their music is timeless and covers many genres. Keep listening, and you'll hear it all.
Hi, it's not really a disco album, there are more variety and I'd call it more euro pop than disco.
I agree Is a disco style by ABBA style
although the most successful songs was the two ballads Chiquitita & I have a dream
it's not exactly disco but inspired by disco rhythms
Also Rod Stewart,The Rolling Stones did disco stuff at the same period.But only Abba got so heavily attacked by some part of the music press at the time.But the band didn't care,fans made this album N01 again and was their fastest selling album at the time.
@@alexioverdo5225 yeah! I'm a fan since 1976
These is from the album "Voulez Vous" (1979), when ABBA music have influences of disco style
My favourite song of these album and style is
"As good as new" & "If it wasn't for the nights"
behind the worldwide hit "Chiquitita"
"Kisses of fire" (1979)
have a premiere in the TV perfomance
"ABBA in Swizterland"
You could see Agnetha 'on fire' more seductive (think that She was separated with Björn as a couple only two mounths ago)
there is also a video clip showing ABBA in normal clothes rehearsing "Kisses of fire"
Go away Eduardo
The intro and the songs structure reminds me of Don't shut me down from 2021
This is a 10 for me. My third favorite song of theirs. I have 8 favorites from the original album not the deluxe edition. I can tell by both your faces this song will score well.

Benny is the absolute musical genius behind almost all of ABBA.S sound and hits. He should have more appreciation than he gets.
If you liked this song I hope you enjoy Lovers Live A Little Longer and The King Has Lost His Crown as well (one of Frida’s favorite songs). 😁
There will be no hats eaten today.
You definitely have to do the rest of this album! Every song is just so good...
This is one of my favorite from abba
If you want to hear a song that WILL surprise you, My Mama Said is so funky and different and shows them experimenting with different types of music. If you just want to be delighted, Gonna sing you my love song is Frida at her sultry best.
Watch Out would be a jaw-dropper, too. 😁
...'LOOSING YOUUU!'...Is a nightmare babe but to me it;s new...That part explodes like fireworks in the sky.
I have always LOVED this song. This and Lovers Live a Little Longer, which I think is the song before this one on the album.
Wonderful! Thank you for your reaction of another ABBA!
Pure joy is the entire Voulez Vous album
I love this song!
Every song from voulez-vous is just 💯%🔥
I love seeing the boy's reaction to ABBA's songs. I've always listened since I was 5 years old and seeing someone who gets emotional with their songs is entertaining. It reminds me of when I discovered each ABBA song.
A+ song from ABBA. Voulez-Vous was the perfect album for its time, from the opener As Good As New to this closing track.
VV album is a big production.High level for its timewith great songs in it.
Hi, Marruussa🤣,
sorry... Marissa, Tyler!
It's an excelent song:
the instrumentation (deep bass and drums), the girls' vocals by the way and the boys' backing vocals.👍
There is a (lipsinc) TV presentation of this song on Switzerland(1979) so good. Agnetha in pink 💖👌and Frida in purple❤️👌
I hope you are very well and i will see you next time guys...
Love from Chile 🇨🇱😘👍
I remember at 1979 when I have heard this Song for the first Time - and now? I get Goosebumps 🤣
So good! This just gets me going in the morning as I am a morning grouch.
Told ya this is one of their best !!!! Wall of Sound !!!
I'm 70 yrs.old and once I start listening to ABBA I can't stop, they blend so good together, I love them 🤩
I've already commented on the song, which as the title suggests is FIRE ! .. But I want to add a compliment for Marissa .. Looking elegantly fantastic in the black top and necklace ! 👌👌
You make me remember the ABBA songs I forgot😃 Thank you for another great video reaction!❤🇸🇪
This song is the bomb! Completely eargasmic!
That was my face back in 1979 the first time I couldn't believe my ears !!! Superb refinement can now say this 58 year old mortal!!
Love these two! Love they love ABBA , best band ever … FACT! X
Can't believe you guys haven't reacted to this track... One of my all time favourites, and a B Side to Does your Mother Know if a remember rightly... WOW I feel old haha
The sound of my childhood back in the 1970ies, in Germany. ABBA was like a revelation for me!!!
3.31;- yes ABBA are full of surprises they can pull anything out of the bag..they are musical genuises, end of!! This is not in my top 10 of fav ABBA tracks but its great all the same, really catchy
I love this song…one of my favourites
one of their best
Imagine having a song this good and only using it as an album track!!
Kissed Of Fire is a typical Voulez Vous track and i thought it to be contender for single release as If It Wasn't For The Nights or As Good As New.

"Lay your head on my chest,
so you hear,
every beat of my heart"
Oh, okay Agnetha if I must. 🙂
I was bought up on ABBA and ELO. Those were the days. My dad hated ABBA, but, every time a new ABBA album came out, even though he'd have to hear it, he'd still buy it for my mum
You will both be very very «surprised» if you take time to listen to «Rock me» or «Why did it have to be me» and many many mooooore 😊
If you like key changes you should try there song Dance While The Music Still Goes On. It´s an older song but a charming one ,a bit like Another Town Another Train. Witch you liked.
Great Song as well as Bang a Boomerang for early ABBA....
I love you two, you’re a great double act xxx
Knew you'd love it!! :))
'When you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I belong' at 1:24 - sounds very similar to the breathy BeeGees style - are ABBA taking from anywhere/everywhere and paying tribute to the 70s while actually in the middle of it all - look at Frida and Agnetha's Wonder Woman inspired belts and Studio 54 inspired dresses on the cover of the album and the Star Wars- like lightsaber that Benny is holding on to - and they put it all together and put their ABBA stamp on it to make it their own - genius.
Fabulous isn't it?Loved that photo cover.
VV had 8 bangers and 2 decent high quality fillers.
AMAZING Song....Magic ABBAcadabra sound...❤️❤️
Huge vocal range from the girls, particularly Frida who has the longer travel to the unison chorus. Agnetha is a pure soprano, so she has the shorter travel to that high unison chorus. Frida is a mezzo-soprano so she has the longer travel to that high unison chorus.

“ Losing you..”
One of my favorite songs from my favorite album
The orchestra that Tyler mentioned was something that was incorporated a lot with songs back in the 70s, especially with disco songs. Maybe the 60s as well? Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.
You are correct, that layered sound that is sorely missed today...
WOW!
Songs did not know so good.the best new years song from ABBA happy new year so good
Fortunate to see them twice way back in the early seventies my brother took me he wanted to hate it but he loved it.
You're great guys. Nice job.
As good as new & kisses of fire 🔥, brilliant starting track and end track. Wonderful 🌈🎉❤
Love your reactions and love of this supergroup
ABBA will live forever
Awesome!

This one is great. But check out "Lovers" ( which has a video, from the same Tv show as "KissesOfFire")
Keep up the Good Work. You guys R great fun to watch.
briliant popsong as only ABBA can
Glorious!
I grew upp m ABBA. They still last today. Fantastic.❤.
Tip: Tommy Johansson have done some ABBA covers.🎉
Hugs from Sweden.
Just another example of the pure talent and magic of ABBA
Literally the best abba song

Dance (while the music still goes on)
Move on
Thank you for the music
Don't shut me down
(curiously with Agnetha in the most of all introductions)
and I like all these songs much more than
"Kisses of Fire"
so glad you reacted to Kisses! did a remix of this (just search YT for Landslide of Emotion). Such a great album!
After the album this was on the women desides we are old mothers now and dress as such and they did just as my mother
In shock ! .. fab end too voulez-vous as is as good as new = starting album..a new disco direction..?.! X 🌈💚⭐💕💕
Passionate ! X 🌈💚🥳🎈
Yay 15 minutes till Kryptonite! And don’t forget you have all the solo A8BA stuff to listen to and The Musical 🎵 Chess ♟️ and lots of solo albums by all the members except for Bjorn!!
Oops thought it was Thursday… well 24 hours till Kryptonite!! Hope it’s a Banger! And not a lot of rap ..
it's 100% a rap song.... i promise there isn't just rap on the album though :)
As good as new ! Xx
That's a GEM
As on old man I loved that you loved this!
You should hear Benny's current version of this song, with his fiddlers, reeds, flutist and such in "BAO" :)
A different vibe for sure (Helen and Tommy singing instead of Agnetha and Frida), but it's still him.
Nice version too.Outshows what a good song that is.
💣Banger! Great song. Nice tree (understated and all the better for it).
Have you guys not reacted to As Good as New from Voulez Vous? Another B side ABBA classic
Actually Tyler has by himself.
Check out this version of the song with a "maturer" version with Benny Anderssons Orkester:
th-cam.com/video/e4NUzGrpnDA/w-d-xo.html
Still good but different!
B side of does your mother know...fab end to the voulez vous album....ABBASOLUTLY 🌈💚🎈🥳
Next time please: Nina pretty ballerina
YOU GUYS MUST WATCH 'ABBA the movie', treat yourself
Lovers live a little longer - if you are constantly impressed with ABBA, and always surprised - as you can record all the times you state that - then the same will happen when you react, to the above song.
