'There's not a soul out there,no one to hear my praaaaaaaaayer!"Agnetha....headphones round her forehead the 'Agnetha way',hands in pockets as if no big deal is happening there just right at the time they record one of the greatest dance tunes ever.I bet she could have never imagined this would be talked and still get us excited even after 44 years. I'll always love you Abba.I can't forget.
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.
Hello again nice to see you with reaction to ABBA songs "Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" (1979) is a song influenced by American disco, after the success of the Bee Gees and the movie 'Saturday night fever" from the year before In this song you can see part of the volume and range of voice that the blonde singer Agnetha has ABBA was preparing their 1979 Tour of America and Europe, in the previous one , They recorded this song and filmed the official video These is an official video in which all ABBA is seen in the recording studio, including staff musicians (bass, guitarist and drummer) and sound engineer Michel Tretow at the controls, creator of the well-known 'ABBA sound' with his innovative 'wall of sound' multiplication technique (an adaptation of the works of Phill Spector) These is a short versión in last months ABBA did these new official lyric video of "Gimme gimme gimme" full versión The introduction and the instrumental ending, that characteristic sound of Benny's keyboards, is what Madonna used for her worlwide hit "Hung Up" in 2005, 26 years later... (with the permission of the composers Björn and Benny, granting them share the credits) Surely for the latter, with more than 390 million views, the original video with the shorts versión is the second official ABBA video with the most views on TH-cam (behind "Dancing Queen", which has more than 725 million views) and also for this last reason, surely "Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" is much more popular now than in its time when it was released it was #3 in the UK, it wasn't even released in the US now also a centerpiece at the new ABBA Voyage concerts in London Another interesting date is that these is one of songs tgat ABBA recorded in spanish: "Dame Dame Dame" (1980) and ABBA performed it in an interview to Spanish TV Thank you again for these video See you in the next ; GOD bless you My best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷 South America
The best pop music came from sweden.... ❤ ABBA 👑 (ABBA, pronounced just like "yabba, dabba, doo") They have so many hits... Try 'Money money money' ❤️🇨🇱👍
this is an amazing band... the Movie Momma Mia is a storyline written on all ABBA songs, Based on the play Momma Mia... they had SO MANY big hits..... this is a rabbit hole I love to fall down and get lost in !!
In case the background riff sounds familiar, Madonna used it in her "Hung Up" song/video ( one of her more lascivious efforts). I'm pretty sure it was the only time the ABBA songwriters ever gave anyone permission to cover any of their material in a different composition/arrangement. BTW, I always really fancied the way Agnetha "rocked" that pastel pink cotton jumpsuit. Just added that much more to an already almost overwhelming level of her feminine pulchritude ( fancy word for beauty).
Welcome to the ABBA rabbit hole! There is a fun version of this song included in the movie "Mama Mia", which has a ton on their songs incorporated. Enjoy hearing them sing. Dancing Queen, Does Your Momma Know, tons of number ones too.
Summer Night City is my top fave. But Does Your Mother Know, Voules Vouz, Name of the Game, and Under Attack are all fantastic as well. Amazing rabbit hole to go down. Enjoy the ride.
Love ABBA and I grew up on their wonderful music in the 70’s and 80’s. You crack me up with your reviews. Love watching you discover the music of my youth. It makes me relive the experience again. Thanks for sharing.
I graduated high school in 1979! Takes me back to the fun days of youth when I was indestructible! I’m sure the headphones were to save the hair. Lol, I wore my hair the same way as did many girls then. Thanks for your reactions!
to answer your questions the blonde singer Agnetha usually wears headphones like this, she has been seen in later recordings as a soloist after ABBA As for the successes and number 1, ABBA has more than 20 world hits its main market was UK (also Australia and Germany) where he had 20 Top 10 singles (18 of them consecutive) including 9 number 1 singles: 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 they also have other hits that were not Number 1 in the UK but in other parts of the world ex: "Chiquitita" (1979) their biggest hit in all of Latin America. Their first worldwide hit was "Waterloo", when ABBA won the classic 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. (Next year will be 50 years of that historic and iconic act and maybe there will be an special mention) looking at the two songs you heard from ABBA, my suggestion for a next one is "Take a chance on me" (1978) ABBA's best-selling song in the United States #3 on Billboard seventh #1 of ABBA in UK
If you are a schooled singer, as Agnetha is, you can hold a note as long as she does with proper technique: not breathing out but holding your abdominal muscles tight.
I grew up in the eighties. I remember this song on its release date. I’ve probably heard it thousands of times. On record, bars, discos, radio , tv and I’ve never ever heard it labeled with a man after midnight tacked onto the end of it. The song is called gimme gimme gimme. Comprende , capeesh.
I dedicate him "Three Dog Nights" Joy to the world! "Jeremiah was a bullfrog. Was a,good friend of mine. I never understood a single word he said....."
To answer your question: across the ten countries listed on Wikipedia, ABBA have 20 songs that went to number one in at least one of these countries. In the UK alone ABBA had 9 number one hits, 20 top ten hits, 21 top twenty hits and 23 top thirty hits! BTW it's not ay-ba, it's ab-ba.
Third best selling artists of all time, plenty of hits, but you guessed that. Some ballads, some anthems, some soft rock, some cute pop and some innovative pop, and some Disco. Stay on the Disco vibe for a while and try "Voulez Vous" live and then maybe "Summer night City."
This is not the long version. Lot of people don't realize it, this is the short version only. They should have included the extension in the official video, too, not sure, why they cut it out. Yet, they included the long version on the official lyrics video, which is also on the Voulez-Vous album.
Finally, you listen Gimme Gimme Gimme! (A Man After Midnight). Next you should check MammaMia; Money,Money,Money; Fernando; oh and Waterloo this song which won Eurovision Song Contest, and next year Sweden hosting the contest cause this year (2023) winner from Sweden and i guess ABBA Waterloo will be mentioned since it will be 50 years and first Sweden winner on the contest.
ABBA componía en sueco ,luego traducía al inglés, al español, alemán, si una canción es buena en un idioma pero si lo es en cuatro es un éxito que perdurará en el tiempo.
You are not going to get a bad ABBA recommendation. I’m here for all of it. But “Chiquitita” is my absolute favorite. And I suggest “Money, Money, Money” because it’s fire and not many people react to it. Also, it’s “Ab-buh” (or Ah-buh if you’re European), but definitely not “Ā-buh”. 😉
Okay AB .. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🀄🔥🔥🔥🔥 .. hot choice !! They have many great songs .. But , say it as .. " Ahhhhhhhh - Buh " .. not " AYE - Ba " .. think six pack .. you know Abs ... so ----- Ab - buh 🆗️
It's almost Unbelievable that there Still are persons who haven't heard of ABBA, or know how to pronounce their Group name ... Especially during the last two Years when Mass Media in the Whole World has been regurgitating ABBA being Reborn with a New Album and their Big Avatar Show in London. I'm Sorry Sir, but that seems to be an American thing mostly.
I’m surprised I don’t know this song. I clicked this video fully expecting to have heard it many times before but it is completely unfamiliar to me, not even the chorus rings a bell. How strange!
It's amazing, Madonna sampled the riff 50 times in Hung Up 2004, that the Americans are finally realizing and appreciating ABBA's work. Today it is the second most streamed ABBA song. It's a pity, there's a new long lyric video - in the background the old, but newly colored pictures, but with a bass-synthi middle part, which is particularly popular with the younger generation. Tipp so two different ABBA songs: The nam of The Game and The Visitors (with such a topical text).
'There's not a soul out there,no one to hear my praaaaaaaaayer!"Agnetha....headphones round her forehead the 'Agnetha way',hands in pockets as if no big deal is happening there just right at the time they record one of the greatest dance tunes ever.I bet she could have never imagined this would be talked and still get us excited even after 44 years. I'll always love you Abba.I can't forget.
I love how this songs make everyone move. 😂 No matter the age and musical preferences
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.

I to really enjoyed those decades of music and songs.
ABBA one of the best pop music group of all times. I love all songs. Madonna used the intro of this song. Hang up.
Hello again
nice to see you with reaction to ABBA songs
"Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" (1979)
is a song influenced by American disco,
after the success of the Bee Gees and the movie 'Saturday night fever" from the year before
In this song you can see part of the volume and range of voice that the blonde singer Agnetha has
ABBA was preparing their 1979 Tour of America and Europe,
in the previous one , They recorded this song and filmed the official video
These is an official video in which all ABBA is seen in the recording studio,
including staff musicians (bass, guitarist and drummer)
and sound engineer Michel Tretow at the controls,
creator of the well-known 'ABBA sound' with his innovative 'wall of sound' multiplication technique
(an adaptation of the works of Phill Spector)
These is a short versión
in last months ABBA did these new official lyric video
of "Gimme gimme gimme" full versión
The introduction and the instrumental ending,
that characteristic sound of Benny's keyboards,
is what Madonna used for her worlwide hit
"Hung Up" in 2005, 26 years later...
(with the permission of the composers Björn and Benny,
granting them share the credits)
Surely for the latter, with more than 390 million views,
the original video with the shorts versión is the second official ABBA video
with the most views on TH-cam (behind "Dancing Queen", which has more than 725 million views)
and also for this last reason, surely
"Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)"
is much more popular now than in its time
when it was released it was #3 in the UK, it wasn't even released in the US
now also a centerpiece at the new ABBA Voyage concerts in London
Another interesting date is that these is one of songs tgat ABBA recorded in spanish:
"Dame Dame Dame" (1980) and ABBA performed it in an interview to Spanish TV
Thank you again for these video
See you in the next ; GOD bless you
My best regards from
Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷
South America
The long version is even better, with the long dance interlude included. You can listen to it if you run their official lyric video instead.
The best pop music came from sweden.... ❤ ABBA 👑
(ABBA, pronounced just like "yabba, dabba, doo")
They have so many hits...
Try 'Money money money'
❤️🇨🇱👍

Welcome to the ABBA rabbit hole! There is a fun version of this song included in the movie "Mama Mia", which has a ton on their songs incorporated. Enjoy hearing them sing. Dancing Queen, Does Your Momma Know, tons of number ones too.
One of the best groups ever with over 450 million albums sold nd a 5 billion dollar worldwide musical.
I love ABBA music
Oooo how I love watching you hear these songs for the first time. Your reactions are just gold to me.
Summer Night City is my top fave. But Does Your Mother Know, Voules Vouz, Name of the Game, and Under Attack are all fantastic as well. Amazing rabbit hole to go down. Enjoy the ride.
This is their best song!!!
ABBA one of the best groups ever, THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, that's a hint try that song
Love ABBA and I grew up on their wonderful music in the 70’s and 80’s. You crack me up with your reviews. Love watching you discover the music of my youth. It makes me relive the experience again. Thanks for sharing.

ABBA forever
to answer your questions
the blonde singer Agnetha usually wears headphones like this,
she has been seen in later recordings as a soloist after ABBA
As for the successes and number 1,
ABBA has more than 20 world hits
its main market was UK (also Australia and Germany)
where he had 20 Top 10 singles (18 of them consecutive)
including 9 number 1 singles:
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 they also have other hits that were not Number 1 in the UK
but in other parts of the world
ex: "Chiquitita" (1979)
their biggest hit in all of Latin America.
Their first worldwide hit was "Waterloo",
when ABBA won the classic 1974 Eurovision Song Contest.
(Next year will be 50 years of that historic and iconic act
and maybe there will be an special mention)
looking at the two songs you heard from ABBA,
my suggestion for a next one is
"Take a chance on me" (1978)
ABBA's best-selling song in the United States
#3 on Billboard
seventh #1 of ABBA in UK
If you are a schooled singer, as Agnetha is, you can hold a note as long as she does with proper technique: not breathing out but holding your abdominal muscles tight.

This is my favourite ABBA song❤
Get me on the dancefloor already..! 😩✨
Classic
I dedicate him "Three Dog Nights" Joy to the world! "Jeremiah was a bullfrog. Was a,good friend of mine. I never understood a single word he said....."
So many you can dive into. Agnetha always wore her headphones this way. Great reaction.
My favorite is a lesser played, but beautiful song “slipping through my fingers”
To answer your question: across the ten countries listed on Wikipedia, ABBA have 20 songs that went to number one in at least one of these countries. In the UK alone ABBA had 9 number one hits, 20 top ten hits, 21 top twenty hits and 23 top thirty hits!
BTW it's not ay-ba, it's ab-ba.
Third best selling artists of all time, plenty of hits, but you guessed that.
Some ballads, some anthems, some soft rock, some cute pop and some innovative pop, and some Disco.
Stay on the Disco vibe for a while and try "Voulez Vous" live and then maybe "Summer night City."
This is not the long version. Lot of people don't realize it, this is the short version only. They should have included the extension in the official video, too, not sure, why they cut it out. Yet, they included the long version on the official lyrics video, which is also on the Voulez-Vous album.
Their name begins with a short "A", as in "gab".
Yes, BC it is two B's that follow. Closed syllable you know... AB-BA, not A-BBA 😉
The extended version is waaaaay better
Finally, you listen Gimme Gimme Gimme! (A Man After Midnight). Next you should check MammaMia; Money,Money,Money; Fernando; oh and Waterloo this song which won Eurovision Song Contest, and next year Sweden hosting the contest cause this year (2023) winner from Sweden and i guess ABBA Waterloo will be mentioned since it will be 50 years and first Sweden winner on the contest.

👍love from 🇸🇪
Funny, I thought that was the bill of a cap until he pointed that out.
You should do cc with Abba lol
3 chances?
Metallica - One (or no leaf clover)
Queen - Live Aid concert (it's aprox 20 min)
Zac Brown - Colder weather
No Aybba, but A as in CAT..
It's a closed syllable, to be recognised by the two B's... primary school stuff
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Trying to find your ABBA playlist, am I mistaken there is no? Humpf
Take in trap my poor guy... Abba catches you
You are not going to get a bad ABBA recommendation. I’m here for all of it. But “Chiquitita” is my absolute favorite. And I suggest “Money, Money, Money” because it’s fire and not many people react to it. Also, it’s “Ab-buh” (or Ah-buh if you’re European), but definitely not “Ā-buh”. 😉
Okay AB .. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🀄🔥🔥🔥🔥 .. hot choice !! They have many great songs ..
But , say it as .. " Ahhhhhhhh - Buh "
.. not " AYE - Ba " .. think six pack .. you know Abs ... so ----- Ab - buh 🆗️
You need to react to their first great hit. WTERLOO It started them on their road to international fame
not a single bit of autotune anywhere in sight ... all pure talent not like the shit we have had since 1990....
It's almost Unbelievable that there Still are persons who haven't heard of ABBA, or know how to pronounce their Group name ... Especially during the last two Years when Mass Media in the Whole World has been regurgitating ABBA being Reborn with a New Album and their Big Avatar Show in London.

Tipp so two different ABBA songs: The nam of The Game and The Visitors (with such a topical text).
> 25 hits!
Do Mainstreet by Bob Seger
better do nothing at all.
Something wrong with anyone who does like this
