    Never figured out why people didn't like disco? Disco was and still is my favourite music genre. I still play it 40 years on. And many of ABBA's best songs were those with a disco vibe like this one.

    • @tullfan2560

      Disco in the late 70s was mostly pretty monotonous. Apart from ABBA, Donna Summer, Boney M and a few others, it was forgettable.

    I really love legendary Rutger Gunnarsson on base wich is soo groovy 🎸
    One of the most underrated songs by ABBA. This track were supposed to be the single from their Voulez-Vous album, but in the last minute they changed it to Chiquita wich probably stole the attention from this song. Personaly i like this one more 💃🏼🕺🏼
    Björn who wrote this song as a reaction to his divorce with Agnetha. So its about him having problem to forget her during nights.
    Another thing with Björn and Benny is that everything was about the music. So when they composed them they didnt have any lyrics. First when they started recording the music in studio then they wrote the lyrics and gave them to the girls. Thats why the music and lyrics often differ with a happy uptempo song but with lyrics that can be a bit sad. So geniously done. 👌🏼

    Yes,ABBA really did disco very well. Not surprisingly though as they did any music genre they played very well.They mastered disco,pop,rock,even heavy metal,yes,I read right. Check out songs like Watch Out and King Kong song,with ABBA, and do reactions on them,and you will see yourself,if you didnt heard those 2 gems before. I agree with you both,it was nice too to see some photos of them there,happy photos,as well as happy performances,thats what you got with ABBA.

    There was always something funny about ABBA that they could appeal to so many people with so many diverse interests -- almost all of my "Music Folder" is Rammstein, Black Sabbath, Primal Fear, Squealer, Hammerfall, etc., but I still have all the old ABBA songs on my computer to this day, and love playing them for anyone (e.g. recent arrivals to Canada, etc.) who haven't heard of the band already. Great choice!

    In the 80s soviet sailor Kuznetsov on purpose learned swedish language and escaped from a submarine in the Baltic Sea, In scuba gear heroically reached to Sweden and survived to see a blonde girl from ABBA. At that time Agnetha was going through a tough days related to divorce and break up of the band. Finally he was deported to the Soviet Union by a Stockholm's court order. I think this feat connected to Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man after Midnight).

    I remember seeing an Abba documentary some time in the late 1990s and it only had interviews with three of them because, for a while, Agnetha completely retreated from public life and didn't want anything to do with fame and publicity. She barely, grudgingly conceded to being filmed walking down a street while they did a voice-over explaining this. Apparently her attitude changed again at some point after that.

    Thanks so much for reacting to this one. It's one of my favourites. It's got a great vibe to it, and it SO epitomizes the disco era. It recently went viral on TikTok when it was used as the music for a hair commercial! Some people have suggested you react to 'Eagle' which is indeed a great song, and is NOT disco. It has more of a west coast 'Eagles' vibe to it. But, if you do it, please react to this full version of it, not the awful edited version! th-cam.com/video/ikUAAI9QIg8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Superstellina2012

    You've probably not heard of it because it was never released as a single. It was a track on the "Voulez Vous" album so unless you own that album, you wouldn't really know it. Those girls voices together were totally unique, I've never heard it from anyone else all these years later. When you hear one of their songs , you KNOW It's ABBA. Dancing Queen was a US No 1 for them.

      The music scene from 1975 to 1979 was on fire. So many fabulous disco bands, groups and solo acts. An incredible time and I feel incredibly lucky to have lived though it. And now when I now look at the American music scene I feel like crying. It's tragic. Where has all the talent gone? Rap crap everywhere. And when it's not rap it's some overrated autotuned wannabee who'll be forgotten within the decade.
