    Madonna sampled this on "Hung Up". ABBA rarely, if ever, allows sampling of their songs, but it was reported that Madonna, a big fan of ABBAs, wrote to them begging to sample "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" and they relented.

    One of the best reactions to this song. I would have never really known about Abba, unless it was for my dad. He was a teenager during the height of Abba. Always told me about how he worked the family chicken farm all week and would get off on Friday early and go to the disco. They called him Disco Danny (because he had the moves almost parallel to Travolta in Saturday Night Fever). His name is far from Danny though. My mom still pokes fun at him for it because she was his rock n roll queen. She met him during the time, when he was 19 and she was 22. Apparently he would also wear a suit to the club too. Wore a maroon one to their wedding in 1988.
    All in all, Abba is a family classic for me.

Could be more could be less! Many times Benny came to me and explained his ideas for the song. Benny couldn't read or write sheets so i had to write down his ideas in sheets and then explain them for the band. Sometimes the song hadn't got a title yet".

      Well that's an awfully deep pool, of course. Not to mention Jamel reacts to other things besides ABBA, and some of those acts are giant rabbit holes as well...

    Voulez-Vous (the album from which this song is taken off) is their masterpiece. All the songs could have been singles, and all the singles were hits!
    One of the songs off Voulez-Vous which was supposed to be a single at first but never was released as one is ''If It Wasn't For the Nights''. The band went to Japan to make a promotional video of the song before the album was completed, and eventually they chose not to keep it as a single (big mistake if you ask me).
    You can find the video easily on TH-cam, I highly recommend it! The melody is quite uplifting, while the lyrics are really sad.

      I agree. “If It wasn’t For The Nights” should definitely have been a single. I don’t understand why they decided against it.
      Another ABBA song that should have been a single is “Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)”. It is on the “Waterloo” album and the song is one of my favorites from ABBA. I would love to see a reaction to that one.

      It was a single recorded and released after the Voulez Vous album. It was included on future cd releases of that album as a bonus track.
