The ABBA rabbit hole is deep !!! So many hits. One of the most famous worldwide bands ever.
As I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate Benny and Bjorn's great songwriting.
One of the greatest song ever written that will transcend all of time.
I've met heavy-metal fans who loved this song. You'd never think they'd get into disco, and yet... there's something timeless about it, sheer joy and energy. "Dancing Queen" is known the world over, and will live forever.
The song is a masterpiece.
Agnetha and Frida always sung in perfect harmony. No shouting match trying to outdo each other like many artists these days.
There is no Match for both when they sing together.
They were huge, and still are.
Totally agree with you.
I feel like their harmony needs to be scientifically analized how it make people so comfortable and to be attracted.
There are no bad ABBA songs. ❤
The two woman could sing! Their vocals are so pleasing to hear! ❤
This is one of the most memorable songs of the musical history.
You are right, Michael... Agnetha & Frida together are something OUT OF THIS WORLD👌
Please try more ABBA 🙏
❤️🇨🇱👍
This jazz and rock fan wants more Abba too. The stuff they write is like Beethoven and Bach. Incredible!
THis song being the only #1 in the USA back in the day, and "SOS" - called the most perfect pop song ever by Pete Townshend I believe it was. It was the first song of theirs I remember back in Junior high.
U r right Michael The Dancing Queen is very much an uplifting feel good song music and words!👍💕💙💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Those guys have written 3 musicals and all 3 has been played on Broadway (among many other places). Chess, Mamma Mia and Kristina från Duvemåla). ABBA is now the first group ever to perform with avatars, in London.
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", "Does Your Mother Know?", "Waterloo", "Money, Money, Money", "The Name Of The Game", "Super Trouper", "I Have A Dream", "Voulez-Vous", "Fernando", "Chiquitita", "Mamma Mia", "SOS", "Knowing Me, Knowing You" etc.
As somebody who grew up in the uk and every single party i have ever been to for the past 30 years plays abba, i find it so hard to believe that there are people who have never heard them before.
ABBA appealed to everybody from Toddlers to Grandma. High female following in every family. Their LIVE concerts (especially in Australia) have unique energy. Australia was one of the first markets that supported ABBA, so they made big efforts to thank us.
ABBA - Gimme Gimme Gimme - Does Your Mother Know - Voulez Vouz - SOS - Knowing Me Knowing You - Fernando - Angel Eyes - Waterloo
IT WAS the song that got EVERY girl on the dance floor ❤
I was a radio station DJ in the 70"s Oh how many times I played ABBA with these beautiful ladies with perfect harmonies! One of them owns AN ISLAND and in the island it is the sound studio where they recorded these songs!
Great Abba reaction, Sir!
intelligent, articulate, spontaneous, perceptive
yeah the girls are Sublime, so beautiful, such astonishing voices
Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anni-Frid
A-B-B-A
Björn (guitar) & Benny (keyboards) wrote the songs
Agnetha (pronounced Ann-yetta) the blonde soprano
Anni-Frid (known as Frida) the brunette mezzo
But...when their individually superb voices were combined, created what is known as Abba's Third Voice - their secret weapon
Great reaction as always my friend. Their catalog is vast and their talent is immeasurable, but this song is their most famous (worldwide) and their only #1 in the US.
It’s hard to believe any adult hasn’t heard ABBA sometime!
Have you heard of the Broadway musical, Mama Mia? It’s based on ABBA songs.
My favorite ABBA song is Waterloo.
Just now I was fixing lunch and had to stop so I could dance around the kitchen.
I love seeing young people raving about music from way back. I go even farther back because I turned 79 last month. There is an unending supply of fabulous music from the 50s on. Dig in!
Hi Michael , ABBA was very big in Australia in the 70's us Aussies appreciated how fantastic Abba was and still is! Their music is timeless!🥰Fr.Australia
Guess that helps explain Muriel's Wedding soundtrack!
big in India too.
@@steveullrich7737And " 5:35 Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"😊
Most people are shocked to learn that ABBA, to date, has sold 389 Million albums. 🙂
Actually over 400 millions according to official reports in th BBC and recently BPI and keep going.
@@christianoazzuro6711 😱 Now that's cool!!!
Rod Stewart at some point said that Dancing Queen was the ultimate disco song, that it could not be topped, and many DJs have said this is a goto song when you want to fill the dance floor. Benny Andersson is a fantastic self taught piano player, equally great at any kind of keyboard, including the accordion… He has actually released an album where he performs several of his songs, including many old ABBA hits on just the piano - and they still sound fantastic!
Agnetha and Frida must have been two of the most stunningly beautiful women to ever walk the earth, AND with two of the most gorgeous voices as well!
Had the chance to fall in love with Abba when I was a child (born 1970) and remember when I grew up and started listening to rap... and rock ... and hard rock... and then metal and even thrash and death metal... I never lost my joy when listening to Abba.
Thanks a lot for your really nice reaction. Spreading joy is such a good thing.
Wish you all the best for your channel and your whole life.
'Had the chance to fall in love with Abba when I was a child (born 1970) and remember when I grew up and started listening to rap... and rock ... and hard rock... and then metal and even thrash and death metal... I never lost my joy when listening to Abba'.
Hats off to this man.That's an honour.
ABBA the ultimate feel good band for me, even if a lot of their songs had sad lyrics.
Two of the hottest babes you could imagine, a blonde and brunette, fantastic vocals, amazing harmonies and joyful music written by the guys with mega hooks.
And best of all they have a large back catalogue of great tracks and vintage videos for reactors. 😃
PS
For another dose of super happy ABBA pop, try their very early hits, "Ring ring" and Bangaboomerang"
Take away ABBA, The Bee Gees and Donna Summer and Disco would have had a short run. ABBA had a fresh wholesomeness that was infectious.
This is one of their best songs. They have a lot mind you. 🎹
Benny is great on the piano and keyboard
Love ABBA...my mom introduced me them a couple years ago, Ive been hooked ever since!! Glad to see my generation discovering this great music...Thanks Michael!!!!
Abba was the very best GROUP in those years. They were magical, they had amazing music and lyric, you can't sit and listen to these songs sitting you must dance while listening to this.
side comment
if you ask me about the three best ABBA songs:
Waterloo (1974)
S.O.S. (1975)
Dancing Queen (1976)
but if you ask me about the three most danceable ABBA songs:
Dancing queen
Voulez vous
If it wasn't for the nights
ABBA is made up of 2 married couples. Their name is from the first letter of all of their names. When they came on the scene they ruled the airwaves. Each couple divorced later and the group broke up but reunited a few years ago for special project.
Not only is this quite possibly the best disco song of all time but I'd say even a top 10 greatest song of all time.
The mix of Agetha and Firda voices, their harmonies and the music of Benny and Bjørn, they were great musician, this is part of the Abba sound, the 70 Abba, they have so many great songs, they are one of the best pops groups in the history of the music...
forget the visuals for a moment and just admire that BASS playing....rip Rutger thats him next to benny on piano, always had huge smile on stage
"If you don't get happy feelings from this song, you are LYING." True dat. 🕺💃
This song pretty much launched them into huge stardom. Also a disco standard.
Winning Eurovision did that. This is pretty much their Magnum Opus. Everything ABBA just distilled into the best disco hit ever made.
This has such an infectious melody as you said who couldn't like this song and want to dance with it.
"I don't care if you have felonies!" It's a crime not to love this song.
The guy playing the piano is a cute teddy bear.
It took me awhile to appreciate ABBA, but now they're one of my favorite pop groups :)
First time hearing Dancing Queen ... yeah, right 😂😂😂.
This is their most popular and recognizable - but they are SO much more than just this one song. My top fave is Summer Night City. But Does Your Mother Know, Under Attack, Voulez Vous, Gimmie Gimmie, Gimmie, and Waterloo will just have you rockin right out of your chair. Enjoy the ride my friend. Cheers from Canada! :)
I agree! This song is PACKED with magic powers ❤😃😄
ABBA was a fantastic group
ABBA FOREVER!!
It is IMPOSSIBLE to not smile and move your body to Dancing Queen.
The guitar player, Bjorn, was married to the blonde, Agnetha, and the piano player, Benny, was married to the brunette, Anni-frid (Frida).
Nothing like seen them in concert fantastic in beautiful.
I really liked how ABBA made music videos before it was a big deal to do so, and released Spanish language versions of their songs too
There is NO way you have never heard at least some part of this song.
agree.
Th boys wrote the songs and the girls sang it. They had some of the best songs ever written. Try Mama Mia next.
Great Abba songs!
Abba were churning hit after hit, and along with the Bee Gees absolutely owned a certain era!
This song was built for roller rinks.
Shame most are gone
The "piano dude" is Benny, hushand of frida (the brunett). He and Bjorn wrote their stuff and Benny is a first class pianist
ABBA is a magic band, no one can create this kind of euphoria in a song as they do here. Pure talent and class.
Oh for a time machine.
So many great songs from ABBA. Choose any to listen to and you won't be disappointed. "The Winner Takes it All", "Thank You for the Music", "Super Trouper" etc . . . . . .
Ooo baby I got these two smokes next to me and we're singing a great song! LOL! This guy is probably fun in a conversation!
ABBA est un groupe inoubliable, inimitable. Il nous a donné tant de joie tout au long de notre vie. Merci pour tout. ❤❤❤❤
As an 80s Swede..
I approve of this video.
One of the best groups ever ❤️
The piano playing on this song is incredible.
Please check them out singing “The Way Old Friends Do” (live in Wembley Arena, London).
Thanks
In 2020, the listeners of SiriusXM’s ‘70son7 station voted Dancing Queen the 5th best song of the decade. It’s been my favorite pop record since I first heard it as a freshman in college in early 1977. Never been topped in my book. Musical perfection!
ABBA is made by two married couples from Sweden and a fun fact they did not speak English. They had sung phonetically.
"Does Your Mother Know?" !!
At the time ABBA was made up of two married couples,Agnetha (bonde) and Bjorn the guitarist,Anni-Frid the chestnut brunette and Benny pianist.
check out the song/video One Night In Bangkok with Murray Head. A song for a musical called Chess written by Benny and Björn from ABBA and Tim Rice.
It's only the start of your journey with ABBA..🌈💚
You've got it ! Abba abba abba
I like this song in the movie mamma mia performed by merryll streep & I can't remember the other two actresses names. But the movie is full of Abba songs.
Wait till you start hearing their hits! Here we go!
You can dance you can jive having the time of your life--fucking great philosophy.
everybody is the dancing queen when listening to ABBA, and that's true for life
We have evidence now that angels live among us. These two magical beings bring us all happiness and joy!
5:30: Frida uses Harmony hairspray! Does it hold? Yeah!
Welcome to the best pop song ever written ❤😂😊
2:32-2:46
Magnetic smile and true joy radiating! Infectious is right - made me smile as well!
I had a similar reaction when first listening to this, just felt something! Serotonin indeed!
Of course that guitarist is smiling. One of those singers is his wife. And the piano player is married to the other. Never could keep which ones were married to each other though. ABBA was kinda-sorta a guilty pleasure for us country boys. But if alone in the car and they came on the radio you still cranked it. Or at the skating rink where they were played almost constantly.
ABBA has an extensive and excellent music catalogue so you're in for a ride!❤😂🇸🇪
I like their song "If it was'nt for the nights" although it's not by far their most popular ones✌️
04:11 Frida is "Having the time of her life"! Awesome vocals and beautiful angels!
"Take a chance on me" high lites the singers, it will change your life
They made me want to move to Sweden
Two brothers married to two sisters. Musical History was made. Cheers.
Well actually not brothers but could have been.They were friends and fellow musicians from different folk/rock bands before Abba.
As others have said, the ABBA rabbit hole is deep. Here are some of my favorites, which you may want to check out: SOS, Waterloo, So Long, Mamma mia, Gimme gimme gimme... and there are many more!
Loved your reaction! The women in my family called me the Dancing Queen when I was forty. State of mind I guess. Love ABBA! Check out Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia (Here we go again) It's full of ABBA songs-Meryl Streep, Cher, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan-the 2nd movies is even better than the first! A must see!
That 17 year old dancing queen would be 65 in August of this year.
So many good memories from ABBA. They were unique. Please check out the While My Guitar Gently Weeps tribute video featuring Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, most of Toto, Billy Preston AND Prince! This is one of Princes greatest performances ever. He shreds that guitar. And the other cool thing is that George Harrison’s son Dhani is up on stage rocking with these legends for his Dad as George is inducted into hall of fame… It’s an absolute must see…
Thanks again. Loving your videos from the stormy Western Cape of South Africa!
"Dancing Queen" (1976)
is a beautiful song, a fantastic Masterpiece,
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
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 Grammys awards music
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

I hope to see more reactions to ABBA
GOD bless you
my best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
South America
Wait until you see Agnetha and Frida in their Cat mini dresses. Wow.
The "dude smiling" playing the guitar is Bjorn Ulveus, one of two who wrote all of their songs. The other one is Benny Anderson, playing the piano in the video :)
I was skeptical when I read first time reaction to this but I’m actually a believer after scrutinising your reaction. Your either a great actor or have lived some kind of sheltered existence. Thanks for the lovely reaction.
100% a faked reaction. There is simply a zero percent chance someone his age has never heard at the very least the chorus before. At least other reaction channels are honest enough to admit it, this guy is a complete fraud.
This song releases dopamine to the brain. If you are not moved in a positive way to this song, you are dead.
LOL, that guy whose playing the guitar is Björn and he is Agnetha's - (the blondes) husband. The piano player Benny and Anni-frid (Frida, the brunette) were engaged at this time.
Check out Luv in Hotpants. A different group from Europe. I've was able to go to two concerts while stationed in Germany, one was ABBA, the other was Luv.
ABBA was the perfect pop group
A great feel good and dancing song that gets my feet tapping and me singing whenever I hear it... most Abba songs, but also Walking on sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.
Ohhh yaaas, welcome 😅. Hugs from Sweden.
