so happy to see you again with ABBA songs "Fernando" (1976) is a soft ballad, so nice and beautiful The best is the beauty of their vocal harmonies, very soft at the whisper level but at a level of perfection, that explodes in a magic chorus These were very most worldwide successful, only behind "Dancing Queen" ABBA had already recorded "Dancing Queen" and it came from the success of "Mamma Mía" It was the manager who convinced them to record "Fernando" so as not to repeat the style (the brunette singer Frida had done it before in 1975 on her solo album in Swedish and it was a success, but with lyrics of a lovesong, and these to ABBA is a friendship story about mexican soldiers) The manager was right and everything was a success, one after another in that year 1976, with three singles #1 consecutives in UK Mamma Mía (2 weeks) Fernando (4 weeks) Dancing Queen (6 weeks) In addition, this variety of options had different results in each country. "Fernando" was a colossal success in Australia (14 weeks at #1 surpassed the "Hey Jude" mark) and 7 weeks at #1 in Germany "Dancing Queen" was 14 weeks #1 in Sweden and 6 weeks #1 in the U.K.and 8 weeks #1 in Australia Both were #1 in the U.S. but in various rankings: "Dancing Queen" on the Billboard and "Fernando" on Adult Contemporary The official video of "Fernando" was filmed in February 1976, with Dancing Queen the next day in these Official Video you could see: Bjorn & Benny, both in guitars Frida & Agnetha confronted both in frontal and profile images (repeating "Mamma Mia" technique used) premiering her gypsy style dress and a last comparation "Fernando" (1976) is first ABBA single with Frida in lead voice, and recorded in her solo album in Swedish (released before ABBA) as "S.O.S." (1975) is first ABBA single with Agnetha in lead voice, and recorded in her solo album in Swedish (released after ABBA) ando in 1980, after the greatest succes of the single "Chiquitita" (1969) in latín américan countries, "Fernando" was one of the songs that ABBA recorded in spanish , for the ABBA album "Gracias por la música" (in spanish) Thanks so much for these video and reaction I wish you a great new week See you in the next it will ve "Dancing Queen" (1976) the flaship ABBA song My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America
Yep, one of the quintessential memories of being an Aussie kid in the 70's was crying with delight and boredom as "Fernando" spent yet another week at # 1!
Definitely an outstanding song in the huge Abba catalog: The story, the music, the instruments used are ...different somehow and this song was a great success back in the days. Another song that was "different" was "Chiquitita".
One of their best. It had 10 (9 consecutive) weeks as number 1 here in New Zealand and spent aprox 38 weeks on the NZ Charts. I kept waiting for you to get to verse two to have the penny drop lol. 😂😂😂
"Song Of The Year" in Portugal, for 1976. That award is always given to the national (Portuguese) artists.............but an exception was made in this case, due to the name "Fernando", resonating so strongly with the peoples of the Iberian Peninsula.
And the original was written especially for Frida on her solo album "Frida Ensam" it was sung in Swedish and by herself. It was a huge hit all over Europe. So this with Agnetha is actually a cover of her song.
Believe it or not ....Sex Pistol's Johny Rotten's self confessed fave Abba song.!He also sung live this in front of an audience a couple of years ago and got filmed!Bryan Eno's too(btw interview published in The Guardian Jan.2010)!
Are you listening to the lyrics?!! "The distant drums and bugle calls..." "none of us prepared to die..." "the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry" Nothing in that first verse tipped you off that these were soldiers or freedom fighters? 🤨
you should have kept the subtitles! So annoying to watch a reaction from one who clearly are more ebsessed with talking than listening to the lyrics... What's the pont in reacting when you're not listening?
Next time try 'WATCH OUT!".That 'doesn't sound like Abba' at all but it's them on the hardest they've done and still sound harsh rock- terrific, the fine Abba way..
This doesn't sound like _any_ of the music I sent you. (I'm a secret abba fan... who just outed herself here.. but this isn't my favorite at all... as a kid.. all our "loser" pretend contestants sang this at the make believe talent show)

Listen to the whole song before you commit! Fernando was a soldier in a war. He obviously lives but he was a freedom fighter
You hadn't heard Fernando before? One of ABBA's greatest hits. A signature song by the group.
One of the best selling singles ever. Extremely popular in Latinamerica Australia and Europe.
Great song...
One of ABBA's biggest hits in Latin America along with 'Chiquitita'.
Take care.... Lee...
Love ❤ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍

How did you guess? 😂😂😂😂
@@infin8reactions You look like, "that geezer"😜
😂😂🤣
so happy to see you again with ABBA songs
"Fernando" (1976)
is a soft ballad, so nice and beautiful
The best is the beauty of their vocal harmonies, very soft at the whisper level but at a level of perfection, that explodes in a magic chorus
These were very most worldwide successful, only behind "Dancing Queen"
ABBA had already recorded "Dancing Queen" and it came from the success of "Mamma Mía"
It was the manager who convinced them to record "Fernando" so as not to repeat the style
(the brunette singer Frida had done it before in 1975 on her solo album in Swedish and it was a success, but with lyrics of a lovesong, and these to ABBA is a friendship story about mexican soldiers)
The manager was right and everything was a success, one after another in that year 1976,
with three singles #1 consecutives in UK
Mamma Mía (2 weeks)
Fernando (4 weeks)
Dancing Queen (6 weeks)
In addition, this variety of options had different results in each country.
"Fernando" was a colossal success in Australia (14 weeks at #1 surpassed the "Hey Jude" mark) and 7 weeks at #1 in Germany
"Dancing Queen" was 14 weeks #1 in Sweden and 6 weeks #1 in the U.K.and 8 weeks #1 in Australia
Both were #1 in the U.S. but in various rankings: "Dancing Queen" on the Billboard and
"Fernando" on Adult Contemporary
The official video of "Fernando" was filmed in February 1976, with Dancing Queen the next day
in these Official Video you could see:
Bjorn & Benny, both in guitars
Frida & Agnetha confronted both in frontal and profile images (repeating "Mamma Mia" technique used) premiering her gypsy style dress
and a last comparation
"Fernando" (1976) is first ABBA single with Frida in lead voice, and recorded in her solo album in Swedish (released before ABBA)
as "S.O.S." (1975) is first ABBA single with Agnetha in lead voice, and recorded in her solo album in Swedish (released after ABBA)
ando in 1980, after the greatest succes of the single "Chiquitita" (1969) in latín américan countries, "Fernando" was one of the songs that ABBA recorded in spanish , for the ABBA album "Gracias por la música" (in spanish)
Thanks so much for these video and reaction
I wish you a great new week
See you in the next
it will ve "Dancing Queen" (1976)
the flaship ABBA song
My best regards from

For years I thought it was about Fernando the Bull 😂😂 Only a couple of years ago did I really listen to it Oooops 😂😂
HOLD ON - why?!?! Because so did I!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the record had a picture of a bull on it, right?? I literally commented that before seeing yours 🤣🤣🤣
@@lizziev4510 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fernando the Bull! LOL!!!!!!!
@@wendyryder2708 Guess I wasn't paying attention 😂😂😂
Its my favorit
If you think this song doesn't 'sound like ABBA' you did not hear much of them yet.. No band is so versatile as them...
listen to "eagle" and "the day before you came "
...'the verses did not sound very Abba-like"...Oh?!
lol!He's gotta listen to Abba's glam hard metal 'Watch out!" from 1974.
I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣 basil and I both thought it was about cow 🤣🤣🤣
Great minds 😂😂😂
Go to sleep!! 😋
lol!
Are you listening to the lyrics?!! "The distant drums and bugle calls..." "none of us prepared to die..." "the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry" Nothing in that first verse tipped you off that these were soldiers or freedom fighters? 🤨
Only problem I have with ABBA videos is I just cannot watch without seeing Gail Platt from Corrie
Fernando and his Mexican soldier were defending themselves from Texans taking their land.
you should have kept the subtitles! So annoying to watch a reaction from one who clearly are more ebsessed with talking than listening to the lyrics... What's the pont in reacting when you're not listening?
Ebsessed?......
Are you ebsessed with moaning?
If you wanna get your PONT across then be nice about it, otherwise what is the PONT in moaning.
@@infin8reactions What's the point of you watching a reaction. You will get further in life being nice instead of being a d"ck 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Couldn't agree more!
@@infin8reactions
😂😂😂
Next time try 'WATCH OUT!".That 'doesn't sound like Abba' at all but it's them on the hardest they've done and still sound harsh rock- terrific, the fine Abba way..

Also.. I thought she was singing about a cow. I'll send you the reason why in an email
I don't think I'll ever listen to this again without laughing 😂
