I grew up with all the fabulous music from the 60's - 80's. ABBA was one of my favorites. They had lots of hits & I owned many of their albums. I can't think of a bad song by them. Some of their best are "Thank You For The Music", "Waterloo", "Money, Money, Money", "The Name Of The Game", "Super Trouper", "I Have A Dream", "Voulez-Vous", "Fernando", "Chiquitita", "Take A Chance On Me", "Mamma Mia", "SOS", "Knowing Me, Knowing You" etc.
@@strangeworldsunlimited712 at that time. Later they divorced but toured together til the 80s. Last year they published a new Album after roughly 40 years. It should be their last one, because they now are all in their 70s.
Dancing Queen is one of the most famous songs in pop history! You have just discovered a GOLD MINE. Arguably the greatest pop band of all time. They have 28 hits, and 9 #1's and have sold 500,000,000 records worldwide. And their music holds up! Dig in!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Abba. To be very honest - I grew up hating them because on every single long road trip that we took - my dad would throw in their tape and make us listen to it for hours at a time. But as I got older - I really started to appreciate their music - and now absolutely love it. Their voices, melodies, and harmonies are just perfection. My top favourites are Summer Night City, Under Attack, Does Your Mother Know, Name of the Game, Voulez Vous, and Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie. Enjoy the ride!!
ABBA pronounced with a flat A, example yabba dabba do. They are from Sweden and they were 2 married couples. Dancing Queen was released in 1976. Their hit songs: Waterloo (their first hit song in 1974), SOS, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Lay All Your Love on Me, Money Money Money, Take a Chance on Me, Summer Night City, Rock Me, Knowing Me Knowing You, The Winner Takes All, Angel Eyes, Does Your Mother Know, The Name of the Game (my personal favorite), Voulez-Vous, Chiquitita, and Thank You for the Music
ABBA stands for their first names. Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anne-frid. One of the Swedish pioneers to make our music from Sweden global and international. Sold about halv billion albums... so far.....
‘Muriel’s wedding’ is a fantastic 90s movie from Australia where the main character is obsessed with Abba. One of my favourite quotes from the movie is “I hope my life gets as good as an Abba song, as good as Dancing Queen”
This was in the movie Mama Mia & you might have heard a commercial for the movie, if nothing else. The song is talking about being young & 17, so yes, the girls are young. The group is 2 guys singing back up & playing the music, & the 2 gals. Two married couples. They have since divorced, however are still cranking out new music. The name is pronounced like you thought. Like your torso's Abs to say ABba. It came from the first initial of each of the 4 members. They are from Sweden & many of their songs were in the movie & theatrical play 'Mama Mia' which is also a title of one of their popular tunes. Great group that has their own sound.
Hi there! ABBA (is pronounced as "yabba, dabba") ⭐The best pop music ever⭐ Swedish group, made up of two couples: A- Agnetha Fältskog (blond singer)& B- Björn Ulveus (guitarist and composer) B- Benny Anderson (keyboardist and composer)& A- Anni-Frid Lyngstad (brunette singer, more commonly called "Frida") A group with a long and varied repertoire. They reached number one in the UK on 9 occasions. ABBA👑 never dissapoint! Love❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱👍
Always the perfect first ABBAsong to react to for young reactors that have never heard of ABBA. This was there signature song because it was a monster worldwide hit back in the 70’s . #1 in most major countries.
Yes, ABBA is a winner of Eurovision Song Contest too in 1974 with song "Waterloo", like Celine Dion (won in 1988 represent Switzerland). That's why maybe you should check Eurovision Song Contest, especially ESC 2016 in Sweden, i think it's the best ESC show ever.
Hey, great reaction my friend! ABBA are Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anni-Frid A-B-B-A all their songs written by Björn & Benny, with contributions during recording by Agnetha (soprano, blonde) & Anni-Frid, known as Frida (mezzo, dark haired) "Dancing Queen" 1976 *the video was made at the time
This is a great group from the disco era. Very upbeat songs and great singing. You hear their music everywhere. They were huge. There are movies that feature a tons of their songs. Particularly the stage play snd movie Mamma Mia. We used to skate to this music all the time in the 70s. Abba had a ton of music that was fun to dance to.
ABBA (1973-82, and from 2021 again) is the goat of pop (in my opionion) with so many great gems, in different styles in their catalog. Dancing Queen from -76 is the largest hit international. The music of ABBA was/is loved in every age. ABBA has sold second most albums in the world after The Beatles, had for example 10 Numbers 1-albums in UK. More uptempo - try Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Mamma Mia, Lay All Your Love On Me or Take A Chance On Me. They have got many heartbreaking songs too like The Winner Takes It All, Knowing Me, Knowing You, Chiquitita, S.O.S. and One Of Us. More groovy stuff like The Name Of The Game is awesome. Theatre and movies too. You can’t get wrong with them actually. Good luck! ❤
If you’re continue on the ABBA journey, I highly recommend “Knowing Me, Knowing You”. One of their many big hits 💯 ABBA is the second biggest band/group of all time btw (behind The Beatles)..
Your reactions are fire! Been watching you for awhile, never disappointed. Watch their winner takes it all video, about their divorce in real life, he wrote it and she sings it! Priceless. And they just released some more this summer. Happy New Year ! Peace from Northern Michigan. 🎄
I was in my late teens/early 20s when ABBA was REALLY big. Most of their fans were in that demographic, but younger teens liked them too. Thing is, back then most bands were only heard on the radio. Music videos were not made for every song released. While this video looks like it was made at about the time this song was released, I never saw it until a couple of years ago, and while I have always loved the song, this video doesn't really make sense to me. I have always wondered if it was actually done a couple of years after the song was released, and it was just kind of a cute thing to show a room full of 11-13 yr. olds dancing their hearts out to the fantasy of being "the Dancing Queen". (Because the lyrics are definitely talking about a more experienced Dancing Queen!
Dancing Queen was recording in September 1975 but with more production in the song was released in August 1976 these Official Video was filmed in February 1976, in Alexandre discoteque (Stockholm, Sweden)
"Does Your Mother Know" is my favorite song from ABBA but you have to watch the video where they have the all white background to go with it. The campy dancing and outfits are so completely 70's but make the song. Absolutely love it!
This song was not for teenage girls. It was mostly about nostalgia. It was for women that just danced without a care in the world. No adult stuff of marriage, having children, work issues. It is a celebration of that moment in time when you could just dance and enjoy the moment.
Okay I almost pissed myself laughing when you asked if they were a new group and just making the video look old. XD Thanks, I needed that laugh. Glad to see you enjoyed the song, go ahead and do a deep dive, they were a hit machine!
These is ABBA, the iconic Swedish pop quartet, the best, most versatile and most important of the 70s, in the post BEATLES decade (the revolutionary group of the 60s) ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, was a musical and cultural phenomenon, and its legacy lives on ABBA is an acronim with the initials of their first names; initialy was two swedish couples too: A- Agnetha (blonde lead vocal) & B- Björn (guitarist and songwriter) B- Benny (pianist and songwriter) & A- Anni Frid (brunette lead vocal) (both couples separated before the end of the group in 1982) "Dancing Queen" (1976) is a beautiful song, which shines in the loftiness of its vocal harmonies the blonde singer Agnetha is soprano voice, the brunette singer Frida is mezzo soprano voice, and blending together made the famous and fantastic 'third voice of ABBA' And the music is bright and enveloping, from the initial chord it introduces you into the atmosphere of the disco and invites you to dance "Dancing Queen" is the biggest worldwide hit and ABBA flagship song it was #1 in a lot of countries al over the world in 1976, included the only #1 to ABBA at US Billboard in 1977 English public has voted it as one of the songs they want to hear the most, because of the feeling of joy and energy it gives them (another is "Don't stop me now" by Queen) And in 2015 "Dancing Queen" was included in the Hall of Fame of Rock and Roll music ABBA recording between 1972/1982, have a wonderful series of more than 20 worldwide hits, included nine #1 in UK: Waterloo Mamma Mia Fernando Dancing Queen Knowing me knowing you The name of the game Take a chance on me The winner takes it all Super trouper And after more than 35 years ABBA return to studio in 2017 and recording a full new album "Voyage" between 2017/2021 released in November 2021 and is a worldwide succes (with four nominations to Grammys awards 2023, two for the album and two for one of their comeback songs, among one before to 2022 edition) And in last May 2022 all four ABBA members asist to the premiere of the new Voyage concerts (with avatars of Theirself) in the new ABBA Arena at London UK (another greatest success,, with tickets on sale to November 2023) The ages of all ABBA members now is 72 Agnetha Fältskog ; 76 Benny Andersson 77 Björn Ulvaeus & Anni Frid (Frida) Lyngstad ABBA begin to be famous in 1974, when They won the Eurovision Song Contest in UK with their iconic song "Waterloo" these is the link of the live perfomance, that I suggest you to a next reaction th-cam.com/video/3FsVeMz1F5c/w-d-xo.html Llike so many comment here and suggest "Waterloo" as a next reaction, also "Waterloo" is first Top10 of ABBA in U.S., first #1 to ABBA in UK and all Europe, it's a banger, a smash hit I hope to see more reactions to ABBA GOD bless you my best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America
*Initially, ABBA was far more popular everywhere else than in the United States in the 1970s and 80s. If I'm not mistaken, their records outsold even The Beatles. Check out Waterloo, The Winner Takes It All, Fernando, The Visitors, Chiquitita.*
I love "Waterloo" (make sure you look-up what Waterloo was, if you don't know, before you listen to the song, so you'll understand it, better) "Take a Chance on Me" "Name of the Game"
This is an original video from the late 70s of ABBA singing their master hit Dancing Queen. Ani-Frid aka Frida is the dark haired singer married to the piano player Benny and Agnetha is the blonde singer married to the guitarist Bjorn . That's where they got the name ABBA , their first initials. They are from Sweden. Many Many hits. Only the Beatles have more. Yes the the beatles! Try Chicquitita, Fernando , Name of the game
Это классно: скептик от музыки не смог понять это старая группа или новая) Их аранжировки превосходят современные, все ещё опережая время. Хорошо, что заметил, что поют интересно))) Не очень-то хорошо со вкусом у блогера)))
How can anyone not know who ABBA are ?!!. It’s equivalent to saying you’ve never heard of Elvis or the Beatles, to sit and revue recordings of songs as if your an officiardo of music, then admit you’ve never heard of ABBA, would be like Professor Steven Hawking telling us he’d never heard of Albert Einstein!. Unbelievable!!.
Here is the "lost verse", from the original recording sessions, not included on the released version 😉-----------------> th-cam.com/video/HIts3n-b6YY/w-d-xo.html ...................use your headphones🎧
I listen mainly to bands like Tears for Fears and some 70s rock like Tom Petty. Not much into pop or soft rock but I can't deny, THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!!
Mama Mia, the movies! What they are saying is that all girls are queens when dancing. Everyone loved their music. My dad taught my brother to listen to all genres of music, but I can't stand rap music.
once you hear abba and understand their talent you don't stop loving them! i wouldn't say their songs were aim at a particular age group 17 just fit the lyrics. your first pronunceation was right it's one word.benny and bjorn the 2 guys wrote the songs.the uk (and other european countries)were introduced to them when they won the eurovision song contest in 74 with waterloo. the eurovision song contest is a group,singer from each euro country sing and the other countries vote.who ever wins has to host the contest next year. this yr ukraine won but obvs can't host so the uk is going to cause we came second(sam ryder-spaceman) and offered.
Please react to this song... channel is Freddie Mercury Solo song is "Barcelona" was uploaded 7 years ago and has 20 million views!!! Listen to that version PLEASE!!! IT'S SO AMAZING!! THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME!!! Freddie wrote this song to sing with Cabella. He always loved opera but never sang it before. It sounds like 2 angels came down from Heaven!!! I BEG YOU TO PLEASE REACT TO IT!!!
It was a hit with everyone and as a ‘tween’ in that era know I heard it as you described, we did think 17 was great. As grown up as you could get without having to be responsible like a proper adult. Probably a high school senior, when all the cool things like dating and homecoming and prom would happen. But as an adult I now know that back in those days a lot of young but adult Jen saw 17 as the perfect age for a girl you could treat like a woman, if you get my drift. A bit creepy by todays standard when we have a firmer line regarding teenagers and adults and consensual sex. ABBA might not mean this but other songs do.
Just enjoy watching all the men reviewers get large eyed and "Wowed" when the ladies draw out the long note lyric "low" that sounds like a moan as they relax into a slow dip. Breaks me up every time.
They was a 90s group you probably heard the song from the band was called ateens they covered the song abba was the original writers and singers of the song that had a bunch of hits that is abba had mama Mia super trouper sos take a chance on me when I kissed a teacher and so many more
Even though it was a huge hit, I always thought this was one of ABBA's weakest hits. (Pronounced AH-bah) They were trying to get in on the disco craze, and this song just always sounded very formulaic to me. They were great pop writers and singers with great melodies and have many brighter, catchier songs. Some I'd suggest: Does Your Mother Know, Fernando, Mamma Mia, Take a Chance On Me.
Dude you have entered a deep rabbit hole of one of the best selling records of the 70s& 80s ....get ready to get a ton of requests for ABBA....
I grew up with all the fabulous music from the 60's - 80's. ABBA was one of my favorites. They had lots of hits & I owned many of their albums. I can't think of a bad song by them. Some of their best are "Thank You For The Music", "Waterloo", "Money, Money, Money", "The Name Of The Game", "Super Trouper", "I Have A Dream", "Voulez-Vous", "Fernando", "Chiquitita", "Take A Chance On Me", "Mamma Mia", "SOS", "Knowing Me, Knowing You" etc.
Check out Joshua Turner with Carson McKee performing Mama Mia on banjo! It is awesome.
The winner takes it all
ABBA ruled the airwaves in the70s together with the Bee Gees. Their songs never get old. I listened to them in high school until now.
This song was ENORMOUS. It was one of the disco era's great anthems.
ABBA = Agnetha (blonde) ,Björn (guitar), Benny (piano), Anni-Frid (brunette) from Sweden. International superstars during the 70s. Great rabbit hole.
Two couples. Agnetha & Bjorn and Benny & Anni-Frid
@@strangeworldsunlimited712 at that time. Later they divorced but toured together til the 80s. Last year they published a new Album after roughly 40 years. It should be their last one, because they now are all in their 70s.
I don't think anyone can live in America the past 50 years who hasn't at least heard this chorus. They were an epic hit machine.
Mamma Mia ! musical based on ABBA songs was on Broadway for more than 10 years, and toured in 50 countries .
Still running in the west end , 25 years.
Dancing Queen is one of the most famous songs in pop history! You have just discovered a GOLD MINE. Arguably the greatest pop band of all time. They have 28 hits, and 9 #1's and have sold 500,000,000 records worldwide. And their music holds up! Dig in!

I was at many dances like that in 70's. I dressed like Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. Girls loved it.
ABBA's song "The Winner Takes it All " is one of their best serious songs. Was written as their marriages crumbled.
I love that one especially the video! Watching her sing it while they are all on the stage. Priceless! Happy New Year from Northern Michigan 🎄 .
Lol I just love you 😂😂😂😂 I love abba ❤ and abba was definitely in the 70s lolol
Any song you pick from them is going to be great. ❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song & everyone was hitting the clubs. All because of this song.
This was a big hit in the disco *and* the roller rink so not just teenagers. Lol.
ABBA pronounced with a flat A, example yabba dabba do. They are from Sweden and they were 2 married couples. Dancing Queen was released in 1976.
Their hit songs: Waterloo (their first hit song in 1974), SOS, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Lay All Your Love on Me, Money Money Money, Take a Chance on Me, Summer Night City, Rock Me, Knowing Me Knowing You, The Winner Takes All, Angel Eyes, Does Your Mother Know, The Name of the Game (my personal favorite), Voulez-Vous, Chiquitita, and Thank You for the Music
Abba yes!! Try Fernando, Waterloo, Mamma Mia, and pretty much everything else they've ever done. Love it!!
Awesome group..Grew up with these songs 🎵 ❤️
ABBA stands for their first names. Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anne-frid. One of the Swedish pioneers to make our music from Sweden global and international. Sold about halv billion albums... so far.....
Old song, old group....this song has been in multiple movies. Great feel good song!
‘Muriel’s wedding’ is a fantastic 90s movie from Australia where the main character is obsessed with Abba. One of my favourite quotes from the movie is “I hope my life gets as good as an Abba song, as good as Dancing Queen”

This song came out around 1977 when I was 16.
recording in 1975
released in 1976
This song was such a huge hit that when the Swedish princess got married in the 70s, ABBA performed it at the reception.
Fun fact: Abba is one of the most sampled bands ever.
My favorite is Super Trooper by them.
Trouper
Excuse me 😉 Trouper
Hey, great reaction my friend!
ABBA are Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anni-Frid
A-B-B-A
all their songs written by Björn & Benny, with contributions during recording by Agnetha (soprano, blonde) & Anni-Frid, known as Frida (mezzo, dark haired)

but ABBA was before disco era
and ABBA is esentialy pop music
You always make my day. Keep up the fantastic reactions.
Best Song ever ever ever
ABBA (1973-82, and from 2021 again) is the goat of pop (in my opionion) with so many great gems, in different styles in their catalog. Dancing Queen from -76 is the largest hit international. The music of ABBA was/is loved in every age. ABBA has sold second most albums in the world after The Beatles, had for example 10 Numbers 1-albums in UK.

Theatre and movies too. You can’t get wrong with them actually. Good luck! ❤
If you’re continue on the ABBA journey, I highly recommend “Knowing Me, Knowing You”. One of their many big hits 💯
ABBA is the second biggest band/group of all time btw (behind The Beatles)..
Your reactions are fire! Been watching you for awhile, never disappointed. Watch their winner takes it all video, about their divorce in real life, he wrote it and she sings it! Priceless. And they just released some more this summer. Happy New Year ! Peace from Northern Michigan. 🎄
This was from the 70s disco era. Donna summers was the queen back in that day. Listen to some of her songs if you get a chance. 🔥👍
Disco era in US
but ABBA is esentialy europop

ABBA is an acronym of the members first names ( Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, Anni-Frid) ... prounounce the A like 'ah' or olive
ABBA and The Bee Gees were top of the charts in the mid to late 70s
Of course you heard this song. It is impossible to be your age and not heard it.
Never heard the entire song from start to finish… just that chorus honestly 🤷🏾♂️‼️
And Madonna "Hung Up" (2005) is used instrumental of ABBA's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
LOVE LOVE LOVE Abba!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Favorite is Waterloo. 💯 Still hoping for Monsta X! 😂🥰😂
"Does Your Mother Know" is my favorite song from ABBA but you have to watch the video where they have the all white background to go with it. The campy dancing and outfits are so completely 70's but make the song. Absolutely love it!

Okay I almost pissed myself laughing when you asked if they were a new group and just making the video look old. XD Thanks, I needed that laugh. Glad to see you enjoyed the song, go ahead and do a deep dive, they were a hit machine!
These is ABBA, the iconic Swedish pop quartet, the best, most versatile and most important of the 70s, in the post BEATLES decade (the revolutionary group of the 60s)
ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, was a musical and cultural phenomenon, and its legacy lives on
ABBA is an acronim with the initials of their first names; initialy was two swedish couples too:
A- Agnetha (blonde lead vocal) &
B- Björn (guitarist and songwriter)
B- Benny (pianist and songwriter) &
A- Anni Frid (brunette lead vocal)
(both couples separated before the end of the group in 1982)
"Dancing Queen" (1976) is a beautiful song, which shines in the loftiness of its vocal harmonies
the blonde singer Agnetha is soprano voice,
the brunette singer Frida is mezzo soprano voice,
and blending together made the famous and fantastic 'third voice of ABBA'
And the music is bright and enveloping, from the initial chord it introduces you into the atmosphere of the disco and invites you to dance
"Dancing Queen" is the biggest worldwide hit and ABBA flagship song
it was #1 in a lot of countries al over the world in 1976, included the only #1 to ABBA at US Billboard in 1977
English public has voted it as one of the songs they want to hear the most, because of the feeling of joy and energy it gives them (another is "Don't stop me now" by Queen)
And in 2015 "Dancing Queen" was included in the Hall of Fame of Rock and Roll music
ABBA recording between 1972/1982, have a wonderful series of more than 20 worldwide hits, included nine #1 in UK:
Waterloo
Mamma Mia
Fernando
Dancing Queen
Knowing me knowing you
The name of the game
Take a chance on me
The winner takes it all
Super trouper
And after more than 35 years ABBA return to studio in 2017 and recording a full new album "Voyage" between 2017/2021 released in November 2021 and is a worldwide succes
(with four nominations to Grammys awards 2023, two for the album and two for one of their comeback songs, among one before to 2022 edition)
And in last May 2022 all four ABBA members asist to the premiere of the new Voyage concerts (with avatars of Theirself) in the new ABBA Arena at London UK (another greatest success,, with tickets on sale to November 2023)
The ages of all ABBA members now is
72 Agnetha Fältskog ; 76 Benny Andersson
77 Björn Ulvaeus & Anni Frid (Frida) Lyngstad
ABBA begin to be famous in 1974, when They won the Eurovision Song Contest in UK with their iconic song "Waterloo"
these is the link of the live perfomance, that I suggest you to a next reaction
th-cam.com/video/3FsVeMz1F5c/w-d-xo.html
Llike so many comment here and suggest "Waterloo" as a next reaction, also "Waterloo" is first Top10 of ABBA in U.S., first #1 to ABBA in UK and all Europe, it's a banger, a smash hit
I hope to see more reactions to ABBA
GOD bless you
my best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
South America
Oh yes the Era of disco. Love the 70s.
If you've ever seen the musical, Mamma Mia, all the songs in that movie were made by ABBA
Now try "Waterloo".
The Winner Takes it all.... is a good one...
*Initially, ABBA was far more popular everywhere else than in the United States in the 1970s and 80s. If I'm not mistaken, their records outsold even The Beatles. Check out Waterloo, The Winner Takes It All, Fernando, The Visitors, Chiquitita.*
Lol you've heard of Abba one of the biggest artists ever with over 400 million albums sold nd a musical that as taken over 4 billion dollar worldwide
Second most succesfull band in history...
Love ABBA.
I love "Waterloo" (make sure you look-up what Waterloo was, if you don't know, before you listen to the song, so you'll understand it, better)
"Take a Chance on Me"
"Name of the Game"
ABBA is the king of pop
"Do they have any other hits?" 🤣 Yeah, a few.
The ABBA rabbit hole must is "Winner takes it all." You've heard these songs before bc the movie Momma Mia is solely ABBA songs.
ABBA IS SUPER MARVELOUS THEY RULED THE 70S.
ON A MOVIE. MA MA MEA!!! .
Two married couples.
ABBA released another Album in 2021 after a 40 year wait.
This is an original video from the late 70s of ABBA singing their master hit Dancing Queen. Ani-Frid aka Frida is the dark haired singer married to the piano player Benny and Agnetha is the blonde singer married to the guitarist Bjorn . That's where they got the name ABBA , their first initials. They are from Sweden. Many Many hits. Only the Beatles have more. Yes the the beatles! Try Chicquitita, Fernando , Name of the game
Это классно: скептик от музыки не смог понять это старая группа или новая) Их аранжировки превосходят современные, все ещё опережая время. Хорошо, что заметил, что поют интересно))) Не очень-то хорошо со вкусом у блогера)))
How can anyone not know who ABBA are ?!!. It’s equivalent to saying you’ve never heard of Elvis or the Beatles, to sit and revue recordings of songs as if your an officiardo of music, then admit you’ve never heard of ABBA, would be like Professor Steven Hawking telling us he’d never heard of Albert Einstein!. Unbelievable!!.
Here is the "lost verse", from the original recording sessions, not included on the released version 😉-----------------> th-cam.com/video/HIts3n-b6YY/w-d-xo.html ...................use your headphones🎧
You should check out "Waterloo" by ABBA
I listen mainly to bands like Tears for Fears and some 70s rock like Tom Petty. Not much into pop or soft rock but I can't deny, THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!!
Love them
Check out 'Voulez-Vous' 'What's the Name of the Game' 'Fernando' 'The Winner Takes it All'
You my man are hilarious. Getting ready for the new year
They had a deep rabbit hole while it lasted.
Agnetha😍🥰😋 I fell in Love/LUST with her at first sight.😍🥰😋
Makes me want to roller skate
Great reaction! New sub here.
Mama Mia, the movies! What they are saying is that all girls are queens when dancing. Everyone loved their music. My dad taught my brother to listen to all genres of music, but I can't stand rap music.
So many young men (and older ones, lol! 😁😁) we're absolutely Gaga over the two fine looking ladies in ABBA!
Song was played on Miss Congeniality
Play “Fernando” by ABBA for a different side, also you had it right ABA is like Fred Flintstone saying yabba dabba do, ABBA
you need to listen to Take a Chance on me! Also, I could be wrong but this song was written for a specific person.
"I've heard this chorus before, somewhere."
Planet Earth?
They perform “Chiquitita” in Spanish.. don’t miss that
My favorite is “slipping through my fingers” :)
once you hear abba and understand their talent you don't stop loving them! i wouldn't say their songs were aim at a particular age group 17 just fit the lyrics.
your first pronunceation was right it's one word.benny and bjorn the 2 guys wrote the songs.the uk (and other european countries)were introduced to them when they won the eurovision song contest in 74 with waterloo.
the eurovision song contest is a group,singer from each euro country sing and the other countries vote.who ever wins has to host the contest next year.
this yr ukraine won but obvs can't host so the uk is going to cause we came second(sam ryder-spaceman) and offered.
In 1974 the UK hosted it also without being the previous winner. Luxembourg won in 1972 and 1973 back to back but could not afford to host it twice.
Please react to this song... channel is Freddie Mercury Solo song is "Barcelona" was uploaded 7 years ago and has 20 million views!!! Listen to that version PLEASE!!! IT'S SO AMAZING!! THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME!!! Freddie wrote this song to sing with Cabella. He always loved opera but never sang it before. It sounds like 2 angels came down from Heaven!!!

They couldn’t speak English very well but they could sing it so good. They were from Stockholm, Sweden

Did you live under a rock?
No, just a small stone wit R&B/hiphop/jazz and Kpop…. Didn’t have much room under the rock so I changed homes
Mama Mia, you really need to listen to that. They are from the 70s
☮️💙💙💙
It was a hit with everyone and as a ‘tween’ in that era know I heard it as you described, we did think 17 was great. As grown up as you could get without having to be responsible like a proper adult. Probably a high school senior, when all the cool things like dating and homecoming and prom would happen.
But as an adult I now know that back in those days a lot of young but adult Jen saw 17 as the perfect age for a girl you could treat like a woman, if you get my drift. A bit creepy by todays standard when we have a firmer line regarding teenagers and adults and consensual sex.
ABBA might not mean this but other songs do.
Just enjoy watching all the men reviewers get large eyed and "Wowed" when the ladies draw out the long note lyric "low" that sounds like a moan as they relax into a slow dip. Breaks me up every time.
They was a 90s group you probably heard the song from the band was called ateens they covered the song abba was the original writers and singers of the song that had a bunch of hits that is abba had mama Mia super trouper sos take a chance on me when I kissed a teacher and so many more
Even though it was a huge hit, I always thought this was one of ABBA's weakest hits. (Pronounced AH-bah) They were trying to get in on the disco craze, and this song just always sounded very formulaic to me. They were great pop writers and singers with great melodies and have many brighter, catchier songs.
Some I'd suggest: Does Your Mother Know, Fernando, Mamma Mia, Take a Chance On Me.
ABBA is two girls and two guys. They had quite a few hits. Glad you covered them in a review.
ABBA is a legendary group! Thank you! Please react to NCT
To say the name correctly its AAABAAA
