@@donaldduck2139 I've had them on my playlist for years and years. I never get tired of them. They created songs that people always seem to love, no matter what year it is. (and even stand in line for hours to see "Mamma Mia" on broadway).
Thanks for the ABBA. Yewith us.ah the guy's wrote great songs. But no one could have sold them like Agnetha and Frida. Love watching Frida dance in this one. And the way both girls took turns flirting with us.
I heard this song on the radio so many times when it was originally on the radio, I think it's part of my DNA. Never saw the video though! Great reaction!
These 2 ladies is so cute and the song is great. I like the dance move of Frida! Lol! Take a chance on me,,,wow! Thanks Hap, this is great!🙂Take Care and God Bless!
Hey Hap, I went to the ABBA museum in Stockholm Sweden ! It's amazing when you see their outfits and realize how thin and tiny they are. It was fun. You can even do virtual ( holograms of them) karaoke. Cute day.
Good morning again for second time I enjoy with your reactions to ABBA songs (You are in the Podium of reactors) "Take a chance on me" (1978) is one of their best ABBA hits in all the world, and the most sailing song of ABBA in U.S. (more than Dancing Queen) and one of few song than the vocals are more extensive than the music (They begin 'a capela' and singing at the end) the blonde Agnetha is the lead vocal, her voice is so powerful, in perfect armonies and chorus with Anni Frid in co-leads vocal (and the boys in back voices singing repetitive the frase 'take a chance, chance') the guitarist Björn got the idea while hiking or jogging, by the sound of the footsteps he interpreted t-k-t t-kt and adapted it to "take a chance" and so the song was born Although it is a disco pop, it is like a constant and happy march, captivating, cloying and addictive In the video the absolute center is the girls, very suggestive A clarification: it was filmed a month after Agnetha's second motherhood, so she had not yet recovered her pre-pregnancy figure I hope You continue with your fantastic ABBA journeys I think that Thank you for the music is a wonderful song to a next reaction My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina
Almost as many visual hooks in the video as there is in the track itself. Fun Fact the "tk-a-chance-tk-a-chance" backing rhythm of the song came to lyricist Bjorn when he was our running (super fit Bjorn even ran marathons in Stockhom). The budget for ABBA's videos was tight but with director Lasse Hallstrom they came up with some great ideas. Even with a fun song like this, the lyric is still pretty sad. This protagonists being so into this guy she'd still be willing to be his significant other when 'all the (other) pretty birds have flown!, although I love your idea that the protagonist is actually the chaser which is entirely plausing because those ABBA ladies were no shirking violets and both contributed so much to the legacy that still stands today. Carry winking Hapz!
This song is classic ABBA. It was used to great effect in two wonderful TV shows- 'The Office' and 'Malcolm in the Middle'. You can find the clips here on TH-cam. They're fun to watch!
Full disclosure - I didn't pay much attention to ABBA originally but remembered all the songs when the movie with Meryl Streep came out 🙂 AM radio kept us all up to date back then.
Love this song! Can't believe I never heard of this one before, or I didn't remember lol. But yeah I love your ABBA reactions and your take on! Thank you Hap ❤️
I was out in the grocery store, & guess what? This song was played. I was singing along & thought of ur reaction right away. I had to come back to listen to ur reaction again! Thanks to u to introduce all these awesome tracks, I enjoy music out there so much more 💕🎶
Thx !The song is lighter and humorous than some of their others, but it is full of creative ideas, the beginning to cappela, the breaks, the voices of the boys who come superimposed to enrich the harmonies or at other times add small melodies almost against time of the songs of the girls. Despite the humorous side, it's a very creative piece, intelligent in my opinion.
6:02 Back when we were in elementary school, I didn't know a boy who wasn't madly in love with this beauty. Ok, there was Suzi Quatro, but these two ladies were the world to us.
A precursor to Pentatonix' panel music video style! ABBA are great. I didn't use to think so when I was a kid (and they were still together), but I matured and now I love their music (at 51 yo) 😃😍
Great band!! This band is from Sweden ( maybe with her one but I am 90% sure it's Sweden). Bandmates could only speak their native language. Their manager told them they had to learn how to speak English if they were ever going to become popular in America. The manager was correct and just and was very very popular between about 1977 - 1978.
You are talking about U.S. because the major ABBA hits in US was Dancing Queen #1 (1977) and Take a chance on me #3 (1978) but ABBA was famous from 1974 with your iconic song Waterloo winning Eurovision and leads charts in all Europe and several countries around the world from 1975/1981
listen to Erasure Abbaesque Take A Chance On Me pays tribute to ABBA pretty sure as it looks a parody in all fairness I think they were in part serious paying homage to ABBA at the same time taking the piss out of themselves more than ABBA
Music videos weren't a thing in the 70's ABBA had been a trendsetter also in that regard. All videos were directed from Lasse Hallström, becoming a famous director in Hollywood later on. ABBA made videos to be in the media, because Agnetha didn't want to travel too much and didn't want to be allways in tour, because of her children.
🥰ABBA's original version of «Take A Chance On Me» is the best.............but «Sabor de Gràcia» (from Catalunya).....has a very good version also. 👍😉💓💙💛♫♪♪♪♪
Hello, so nice to see you again today with more ABBA song "Take a chance on me" (1978) was their seventh #1 in U.K. Official Charts and pick at #3 in Billboard 100 U.S. (and the most sailing ABBA song in US) "Take a chance on me" is so happy and catchy, beautiful voices (leads by Agnetha) and harmonies, great rythm and melody, amazing begining 'acapela', is a fantastic song! in my Top 10 of all ABBA songs And the video is so funny too Was the first film after Agnetha second's pregnance You are in the most vetsatily "ABBA The Album" You did before "Hole in your soul" live There's a lot of greatest songs like "Eagle" (opening track, almost six minutes) and the classic "Thank you for the music" There's a TV show in Gernany 1978 that ABBA performing both songs in a sequence: th-cam.com/video/5m3tKmLI11Y/w-d-xo.html See you in next ABBA video My best regards to You Stay safe and be care
I had my DNA taken a few years ago as I have been researching my family tree...And as it happens..I am 3% Swedish. Pretty cool...but as yet not found the link in my tree.
Hey Hap3speakz, I've been watching your Abba reaction videos and wonder how long it will take for you to admit which girl you have a crush on? We can watch how big your eyes get. haha !!
Yes, you are right, very seductive. What man would not take a chance? :-) Well, call that girl that was in love with you in high-school... And the video, Anni-Frid, FRIDA, somehow always jumps out of frame, like in "Dancing Queen". Well she's a dancer!
ABBA are great. For some reason, I often forget how much I like them, but then I come across one of their songs, and I remember.
Has just the right amount of sugary-70s, pop deliciousness to keep the tune stuck in your head for decades.
they do stay in your head for decades too, one of the few things that did stay in mine 8) ....

They captured a moment in time. Thank you for revisiting it (with reverence). ❤
My favorite song ever by Abba.
ABBA is magic! 💗

Summer Night City next then lol
Good morning again for second time
I enjoy with your reactions to ABBA songs
(You are in the Podium of reactors)
"Take a chance on me" (1978)
is one of their best ABBA hits in all the world, and the most sailing song of ABBA in U.S.
(more than Dancing Queen)
and one of few song than the vocals are more extensive than the music
(They begin 'a capela' and singing at the end)
the blonde Agnetha is the lead vocal, her voice is so powerful, in perfect armonies and chorus with Anni Frid in co-leads vocal (and the boys in back voices singing repetitive the frase 'take a chance, chance')
the guitarist Björn got the idea while hiking or jogging,
by the sound of the footsteps he interpreted t-k-t t-kt and adapted it to "take a chance"
and so the song was born
Although it is a disco pop, it is like a constant and happy march, captivating, cloying and addictive
In the video the absolute center is the girls, very suggestive
A clarification: it was filmed a month after Agnetha's second motherhood, so she had not yet recovered her pre-pregnancy figure
I hope You continue with your fantastic ABBA journeys
I think that Thank you for the music is a wonderful song to a next reaction
My best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina
Fun fact: Anni-Frid Lyngstad is a princess (well, dowager princess by now).
Amazing song and great reaction! I love all of ABBA’s songs! Please do “Thank you for the music”.
Dance move is sooo cute LOL! These 2 girls are mazing and beautiful. Love the song! Thank you Hap🙂
It was the Brady bunch

Love that one - there's an animal shelter that uses this song to promote adoption, really effective! Wake County SPCA

We have forgotten how ...good they are..

If we are really honest, haven’t we all been here before, when we’ve clapped eyes on someone we wouldn’t mind having around. 🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
This was a HAPPY & hilarious reaction! Such energetic vibe here Hap 💛💛💛 Thanks again 👏🏼
6:25: Yay Frida!!"

Take a chance on me : " my love is strong enough , to last when things are rough , it's magic
The winner takes it all : hold my beer

That other group you’re talking about I believe is the Partridge family
How bloody beautiful are those girls? And they can sing a bit too x

See you in next ABBA video
My best regards to You

Please react to "Our last Summer" by abba. Its my fav song from them
I had my DNA taken a few years ago as I have been researching my family tree...And as it happens..I am 3% Swedish. Pretty cool...but as yet not found the link in my tree.
Agnetha was four months pregnant at this time .
Please listen to ABBA the Winner takes it all!! You Will be blown away by the lyrics and the sound. Bye from Sweden/Helen
Another great reaction.
Can you react to the video of “When I Kissed The Teacher” ?
I think this video in itself is quite funny. They are unusually seductive
Hey Hap3speakz, I've been watching your Abba reaction videos and wonder how long it will take for you to admit which girl you have a crush on? We can watch how big your eyes get. haha !!
Those girls have some, er, energy.
Yes, you are right, very seductive. What man would not take a chance? :-) Well, call that girl that was in love with you in high-school... And the video, Anni-Frid, FRIDA, somehow always jumps out of frame, like in "Dancing Queen". Well she's a dancer!
If you think its seduction by ABBA then react on their 2 songs, "Honey Honey", and "Gimme Gimme A Man After Midnight"
