ABBA is a good listen. Their French was slightly off. Voulez vous ( voolay voo = do you want) I thought I heard them say "voolay vaw" The first time I saw a video disc playing in a store ABBA video was playing. First time I saw ABBA too.
A most remarkable reaction 💎! It is is French for - 'do you want'. The song also contains the French lyrics: la question c'est voulez-vous which means - "the question is do you want". I see 👁👁 you have reacted to ABBA before: SOS, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, Dancing Queen, Happy New Year, The Name Of The Game, Knowing Me Knowing You, Does Your Mother Know, Mamma Mia, Take A Chance On Me and Chiquitita. Voulez-Vous was released as the fourth single from ABBA's 1979 album: Voulez-Vous. It was written and produced by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad share the lead vocals. The song reached #37 on the AC chart, #80 on the Hot 100 and #85 on the Cash Box 100. It peaked at #1 in Belgium, #3 in the Netherlands, the UK and Ireland, #4 in the Netherlands and #9 in Spain, France and Switzerland. The double A side single (w/ "Angeleyes") is, as of September 2021, ABBA's 13th-biggest song in the UK, including both pure sales and digital streams. The music video was directed by Lasse Hallström. A songwriting trip to the Bahamas saw the birth of the song's melody, and the proximity to Miami made it convenient to record the backing track at Criteria Studios with members of the Disco group Foxy.

The group's name is an acronym of the first letters of their first names arranged as a palindrome: Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anni-Frid. The group members of ABBA were married as follows: Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus from 1971 to 1979, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad from 1978 to 1981. They are one of the most popular and successful musical groups of all time, and are one of the best-selling music acts in the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1974 to 1982, and in 2022. In 1977 ABBA: The Movie, was produced. It is a mockumentary comedy-drama film about ABBA's Australian tour. An international co-production from Sweden and Australia, the film was directed by Lasse Hallström, who helmed most of the band's videos. The discography of Swedish Pop music group ABBA consists of nine studio albums, two live albums, seven compilation albums, four box sets, five video albums, 50 singles, and 43 music videos. To date, ABBA has sold 150 million records worldwide becoming one of the best-selling music artists in history. They have scored 9 No. 1 singles and 10 No. 1 albums in the UK, becoming the most successful Swedish act of all time on the Official Charts. ABBA are among the best-selling music artists in history, with record sales estimated to be between 150 million to 385 million sold worldwide and the group were ranked 3rd best-selling singles artists in the United Kingdom with a total of 11.3 million singles sold by November 3, 2012. In 1974, ABBA were Sweden's first winner of the Eurovision Song Contest with the song: "Waterloo", which in 2005 was chosen as the best song in the competition's history as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the contest. The band members were married. With the increase of their popularity, their personal lives suffered, which eventually resulted in the collapse of both marriages. The relationship changes were reflected in the group's music, with later compositions featuring darker and more introspective lyrics. After ABBA disbanded in December 1982, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus continued their success writing music for multiple audiences including stage, musicals and movies, while Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Lyngstad pursued solo careers releasing several albums. Ten years after the group broke up, a compilation album: ABBA Gold, was released becoming a worldwide best-seller. In 1999, ABBA's music was adapted into the stage play: Mamma Mia!, that toured worldwide and, as of April 2022, is still in the top-ten longest running productions on both Broadway (closed in 2015) and the West End (still running). A film of the same name: Mamma Mia!, released in 2008, became the highest-grossing film in the United Kingdom that year. A film sequel: Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, was released in 2018. ****CONTINUE BELOW****

Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Faltskög don't have any events scheduled for 2024.

Legacy 🛡: In May 2023 ABBA were awarded the BRIT Billion Award which celebrates those who have surpassed the milestone of one billion UK streams in their career.

Great reaction! "Fernando" is one of their huge hits you've not reacted to. You may also like "The Winner Takes It All", "The Visitors", or "Summer Night City". Also check out "Rock Me" live in Australia th-cam.com/video/8uzceymou84/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
This song is great of course but this video is terrible! It's dark and you can't even see their faces..the camera man takes his camera off the band and shoots the back of people's heads. What the the heck???? I beg you to watch the version live from Spanish tv. Their outfits are incredible. This one is bad
'Masters of the scene"
"Ah ha!"
ABBA's signature lyric,
In at least 10 songs
It's soo hard to sit still when you hear this song 😂. Ah ha ❤
"Voulez vous" (in double A-side with "Angeleyes"),
pick at # 3 in the U.K., is the third single from their sixth album "Voulez vous"
(ABBA's album with the most sound and disco influence, for the Bee Gees hits in "Saturday night fever" movie)
some context data:
the official video is from April 5 & 6, 1979
(also in the same days ABBA filmed the video of "Does your mother know" too)
curiously those two days were:
Agnetha's 29th birthday and
the fifth anniversary of unforgettable ABBA triumph in the Eurovision Song Contest (with iconic song "Waterloo")
the blonde singer Agnetha and guitarist Björn were already separated since end of 1978
(with two young children) what will be legal divorce in 1980
I hope to see you soon with next ABBA songs
My best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
Best band ever
Just lovely.
ABBA is a good listen. Their French was slightly off. Voulez vous ( voolay voo = do you want)
I thought I heard them say "voolay vaw"
The first time I saw a video disc playing in a store ABBA video was playing. First time I saw ABBA too.
Great react, Sheray !
As you may have already noticed...
🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ never dissapoint 😃!
Try 'Fernando'
Take care, girl✌️
Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗😘👍
Try Kisses Of Fire, Does Your Mother Know , When I Kiss The Teacher , As Good As New,
Sheray already reacted to 'Does your mother know' (7 months ago)...
❤️🇨🇱🤗👍
A most remarkable reaction 💎! It is is French for - 'do you want'. The song also contains the French lyrics: la question c'est voulez-vous which means - "the question is do you want". I see 👁👁 you have reacted to ABBA before: SOS, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, Dancing Queen, Happy New Year, The Name Of The Game, Knowing Me Knowing You, Does Your Mother Know, Mamma Mia, Take A Chance On Me and Chiquitita. Voulez-Vous was released as the fourth single from ABBA's 1979 album: Voulez-Vous. It was written and produced by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad share the lead vocals.
The song reached #37 on the AC chart, #80 on the Hot 100 and #85 on the Cash Box 100. It peaked at #1 in Belgium, #3 in the Netherlands, the UK and Ireland, #4 in the Netherlands and #9 in Spain, France and Switzerland. The double A side single (w/ "Angeleyes") is, as of September 2021, ABBA's 13th-biggest song in the UK, including both pure sales and digital streams. The music video was directed by Lasse Hallström.
A songwriting trip to the Bahamas saw the birth of the song's melody, and the proximity to Miami made it convenient to record the backing track at Criteria Studios with members of the Disco group Foxy.
Miscellaneous Notes 🗃:
The original working title for this song was "Amerika".
This song was released as a single A-side in all parts of the world except for the UK, where it was released as a double A-side with the song: "Angeleyes", with the latter being the dominant part of the single.
The song is featured in the 2014 video game 🎮: Just Dance Now.
The song was featured in the TV show 📺: The Flight Attendant ("In Case Of Emergency" - 2020).
The song has was featured in the 1984 film 📽: Just The Way You Are.
The song has been covered by other artists including 📻: Menudo, Erasure, Culture Club, The Three Degrees, Caravelli, A*Teens, Christopher John and more.
Critical Reception 🗣:
Billboard described Voulez-Vous as one of ABBA's "most dynamic tracks", stating that it contains "almost Russian sounding musical accents".
Cash Box said the song was "a return to shimmering Euro-pop with a chirpy disco beat and bright horns", and praised the vocal performance.

Lyrics 🗒:
People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous
I know what you think
The girl means business so I'll offer her a drink
Looking mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd
I'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
Master of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous
Voulez-vous (ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
I can still say voulez-vous
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)

Great reaction! "Fernando" is one of their huge hits you've not reacted to. You may also like "The Winner Takes It All", "The Visitors", or "Summer Night City". Also check out "Rock Me" live in Australia th-cam.com/video/8uzceymou84/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

Do you know ABBA can sings in any language?
This song is great of course but this video is terrible! It's dark and you can't even see their faces..the camera man takes his camera off the band and shoots the back of people's heads. What the the heck???? I beg you to watch the version live from Spanish tv. Their outfits are incredible. This one is bad
