"Happy New Year" has the most mileage in my life. Playing the music video on New Years Eve has been a tradition for many decades as I reflect on the good and bad of the year. Along with the hope for a happy new year. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
They conquered the world but never forgot their Scandinavian roots. Abba shows us that universal appeal can grow from a love of one's heritage, not from trying for a lowest-common-denominator 'international' sound.
Well said. That has become a problem throughout culture, way beyond popular music. Politics, films, comedy, you name it. What I fear, and what we are seeing, is the lowest common denominator for personal freedoms! Many countries reject free speech, so will global platforms capitulate to the states with the tightest restrictions?
LITTLE THINGS ist wirklich ein sehr schönes Weihnachtslied. Die Fotos im Schnee von 2021 sahen auch sehr schön aus 😊Nach so vielen Jahren war es einfach schön alle 4 so fröhlich zu sehen. Jetzt wünsche ich allen Abbafans und BB ein schönes Weihnachtsfest und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 2025 ❤🌟✨🧑🎄
Hey Hey Bobby wishing you and your family and your TH-cam family around the world a very happy Christmas to all and to ABBA as well for all the gifts they’ve given us through the years.🎄
17 plus minutes of a wonderful video that you've made and posted for us today Bobby's brother!And what a great editing. Thank You.Have a Very Merry Christmas.
Hey BB!! Thanks so much for all the incredible videos this past year. Congratulations also on building your channel to over 35,000 subscribers! Wow...did you ever think it would become what it has?Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! -abbagodz- Your Second Subscriber
"Nar det lider mor jul" is a Xmas track i love recorded solo both by Agnetha '80-'81 and Frida from the very early '70s.Both ladie's solo versions sound great and their voices cross the air like heaven bells.There's one fan made mix in utube, that united both versions/vocals (no matter the one decade time gap) in one.So we got Frida''s 26yo voice from '71 and Agnetha's 30yo voice from '80.Sounds so beautiful.
It was the dutch remixer Matt Pop that originally mixed both versions together and sorting out a few issues to make then sounds more authentic. His version is delightful but there are a few less worthy versions on youtube to avoid.
❤❤❤...another beautiful documentary by BB...nice to see all these little things I've never seen or heard before...keep up the good work BB...we do appreciate you very much...❤❤❤
Thanks, BB, for another informative video! I have learned so much from you since I subscribed to your channel. Hope you have a very happy new year and I am looking forward to more great videos! Tim. ABBA fan from the States
Such a lovely summary Bobby’s brother. You write and narrate so well. That summary of the full circle abba survivors was beautiful. Happy Christmas to you and yours and of course, our precious members of abba and all those who love them.
Thank you very much for all your fascinating videos over the years, bringing so much news and joy to me. There is so much to know about ABBA. Happy Holidays and all the best for 2025!🤗🎉
Thanks for your Abba Christmas special video fantastic research as always, very appealing to Abba fans, Merry Christmas Tack för din speciella Abba Christmas-video, fantastisk forskning som alltid, mycket tilltalande för Abba-fans, God Jul 🎄
Thanks BB for sharing this beautiful treasure! Happy holidays, Merry Christmas and thanks for all your ABBA videos and information that light up our life! ! Greetings from MÉXICO 👋😘🇲🇽🎶🎵
6:23,Hey B'sb.!The background music that you've used is from the demo recording of 'KMKY".I loved that different extented intro.How nice of you to share that bit.
@@christianoazzuro6711 Yes, 21 ABBA songs were mixed by Michael B. Tretow around 1999 to highlight vocals for orientation for the "Mamma Mia!" musical. This has been clarified in Carl Magnus Palm's "The Complete Recording Sessions" (2017). The mixes were leaked in 2011/12, but subsequently, people have been re-uploading them, partially altered, and falsely labelling them as demos or similar. They all are rough mixes (or "vocal mixes"), some containing previously unheard elements because they were taken from the multitrack tapes.
@@bobbysbrother137 Aw ok.Well the one i've heard had one of the guys saying something in Swedish (Bjorn i think-smth like counting, giving the sign to start the intro).So that's the story.Original recordings kinda decontructed away from the final mix if i got it right.In this one the electric guitar line(that goes right) after the chorus was omitted and someone could hear a "new" beautiful keyboard melody surfacing up.Similar thing i've heard in a posted fan recorded audio from a live '77 tour version.How surprising and beautiful.

Another fascinating video! Could you please share the source of the video of Benny's 2019 christmas greeting you mentioned here (13:27) ? Also merry Christmas BB!
It would be really nice if you could possibly include links to these performances when available on TH-cam, as I don’t speak Swedish and can’t remember the names of them when I leave this video and try to type them in the search bar. And, Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. ❤
The one song by ABBA I consider properly seasonal is Happy New Year. We've never had a proper Christmas song by ABBA. Imagine Benny and Bjorn writing a full blown Christmas single. It would have been brilliant. Instead, we got Little Things, the melody of which was one of Benny's older tunes set to new lyrics by Bjorn. As a result, I think it feels a little half hearted.
Thanks a great video. I think only Agnetha and Frida are christians, believing in the bible. Bjorn of course not, he has other beliefs. Benny I am not sure about. I think deep down perhaps he is. Agnetha and Frida I think have sung religious songs.
Hi Bobby, I think you should make a distinction between happy oom pah pah feel good festive songs and songs in regard to the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Kind regards.
"Happy New Year" has the most mileage in my life. Playing the music video on New Years Eve has been a tradition for many decades as I reflect on the good and bad of the year. Along with the hope for a happy new year. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
Agnetha’s singing on happy new year is so gorgeous. She’s like a songbird!

Yes, very attentive of you! It’s from the rough mix of the song made by Tretow in 1999.
