Even John Lennon once said this one is a banger, one of the greatest pop song ever recorded! The genius of ABBA
I don't remember that Lennon ssid this about S.O.S.
I would like to see a link with his own words
Also, S.O.S. is a greatest song that no need credit of famous artist to be a masterpiece of pop (and S.O.S. is it!)
@Mike Smithson Pete Townshend of «The Who» also said that S.O.S. was the greatest pop song of all-time. ♪♫♪. Björn said that, in an interview, when he was in New York City, for the opening of the «Mamma Mia» musical on Broadway.
@@escorpioomega2111 The Internet is awash that claim John Lennon and Pete Townshend both said something like this, but it was difficult finding the original citations to prove that. I found a fairly good citation for Pete Townshend: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/pete-townshend-the-whos-final-days-108427/ As for Lennon, I only remember reading that somewhere on wikipedia, but wikipedia may not meet your criteria for "a link with his own words."
The SOS single was my first ABBA record, I received it as a Christmas present in 1975, I was 7 years old.....Still amazing.
Agnetha what a beauty !
Abba, Queen and the Beatles are the best bands in the world!!!
Exactly my 3 choices too, with The Jam and Pink Floyd just a little behind. Great picks, my friend.
Yes, but if you're into brass, check out early Chicago stuff.
Yes and clear-by the quality x quantity measure- only solo artist that compares is Elvis & he had all his stuff written for him.
I agree with the first two but I would replace the Beatles with The Eagles. Not a fan of the Beatles well except for the song Yesterday
Limp Bizkit, Wham and Milli Vanilli every day
Well this was the wholesome part of the show. Later in the set, Agnetha and Frida would remove the lower portion of their costumes revealing their very *short* skirts. So much for wholesome. LOL! But both women were gorgeous and there are several performances of SOS that had live vocals which are just as good.
😅😅😅 really? I am sure the audience needed to call an SOS 📞 when that happened. 🤯
@@HAP3SPEAKZ The cameraman shooting from low angle (actuality) never fully recovered I hear.
@@Muckylittleme Yup if you were a guy who love bare legs in knee high boots these girls would never disappoint you:)
Agnetha is soooo beautiful
So great that you give ABBA a closer look. It‘s so worth while!
Like Queen, their true biggest hits didn‘t fit on one CD. I grew up with them and loved them, but I didn’t realize the high quality of the music: the world class voices which harmonize so perfectly, the high class compositions and instrumentations, the wonderful vocal harmonies. With everything, they were on another level. And also they were naturally beautiful, not artificial.
This song is wonderful, I also love the underlying sadness.
I'm one of the old school ABBA fans from way before you were born Hap but this is one of ABBA's greatest songs, priased by Lennon and the Who's Pete Townsend for its instrumentation. The song was a number 6 hit in the UK following their number 1 Waterloo almost 2 years earlier...other singles between didn't do so well. Each ABBA member bought something to the group. Bjorn & Benny wrote, arranged and produced virtually almost all of the ABBA catalogue in their 10 years and worked together before the group and still do today. Agnetha (a sprano) and Frida (a Mezzo Suprano) created something unique with their combined vocals, and its sometimes tricky the figure when they're singing in unison or when its just one of the womens voices. The costumes were created with designer Owe Sandstom and as you like them, you should check out 'So Long', a single released from late 74. I would suggest the 1975 clip from 'Made In Sweden'. Most of ABBA's performances are lip synched with only footage from 'ABBA - the Movie' and 'Live At Wembley' being truly live. The group were never keen on 'live' recordings but consented to the 2014 release 'Live At Wembley' which is a complete audio concert from 1979 well worth a listen to but perhaps too long for a reaction video. I like the fact you picked up on the 'reserved' / .shy' performances. By Nature Swedes are far more reserved than most US/UK/Australian people!
They had a lot of Top 40 hits. They were great! ❤️❤️
ABBA have much more Top 10 than Top 40 in several countries of all continents
only in U.S. wasn't greatest
ABBA have only four Top 10 there between 1974/1982, while in UK have 18 singles Top 10 consecutives at the same time
@@escorpioomega2111 ......and?
Back in the 70s in my Jr/Sr high school days, I would listen to the radio for entertainment. I remember this song would come on and I'd always think, "Man, whoever this group is, they sure have a different sound!" And it was so good.
I didn't pay much attention to Abba back in the day but I've been enjoying them through your reactions, Hap. As a 5 feet tall teenager at the time, I loved the platforms and clunky heel fashions! 🤣 My height hasn't changed but it doesn't bother me now.
Glad you're finding them fun as much as I am. I'll hopefully do some more. 💜
@@HAP3SPEAKZ yes please am loving your ABBA reactions.
Love it, love it.
Gooooo Abba😁💯
Big up
ABBA live Australia tour
Why Did it Have to Be Me
Interesting reaction. Don’t forget B+B wrote the songs and produced much of their sound (with Michael B. Tretow, their sound engineer and as we Fans call him: the 5th ABBA). The harmonising, lyrics and complexity of the music and wall of sound is the magic for me. I like the dark stuff from the end especially. „The day before you came“ and „the visitors“. All 4 members and the combination of them as individuals and musicians make ABBA what they are. I had the pleasure of meeting Benny ans to correspond with Björn. I visit Mono Music whenever I’m in Stockholm.
Great reaction Hap! Thanks for more ABBA reactions 😍💜🎶 I love S.O.S ! Good harmonies & lovely voices! Awww
There is just something magical, very distinctive about their combined voices. Just sucks you in!
I think I know every ABBA song ever made. Their live performances are always great!!
HAP, you should try “When I kissed the teacher”. They made a video for that.
ABBA was a massive hit in Australia
You are right!! It is always a great eye opening to explore variety of music with you! I really enjoy this music ride 🎵👍
If you like Benny you must watch his performance of the instrumental, Intermezzo No. 1 from Abba the Movie. It is his tour de force!
Most ABBA Television "Live" perfomances like this were lipsynced, you hear it on the music, it's the studio recording.
BTW. those dresses also came in a short-short variant. :)
Thanks for the info!
@@HAP3SPEAKZ yes they dropped the skirt on the dresses and looked amazing.
Yeah, this is playback. But they were well capable of performing live. They sing this live on their 'Seaside Special' appearance (short skirts too) in 1975. Also three years later during the ABBA Special TV show in Japan.
After just watching Mama Mia last night again on tv and getting to hear all these hits sung again by the actors and actresses in the movie,brings back great memories thanks Hap!
Just loved it so much! I dont know much about ABBA, but used to listen to their big hit songs in my old times. Enjoying these ABBA music more with you now 🎶 Awesome reaction,Hap ❤️
So handsome.
Some songs were not made to stand up on their own. Sometimes are just part of a larger album, or for filler on the hot radio playlist. Things are so different today then they were then. You can't go back
So true Daniel.
Great albums led you from song to song on a side becoming more than the individual songs. And the second side might have been a totally different journey. And the most memorable albums I ever heard were listened to lying on the carpet, lights out, giant headphones on.
Can’t go back. But I do wish platform shoes and bell bottoms would make a reappearance. At 5’10” I don’t need need high heels, but platforms are more comfortable than pumps 👠.
Didn't realise you were doing this today as well. Loving your reviews.
always expect the unexpected I guess. :)
The thinking behind the sound is to me just genius.
Combining a honky-tonk piano!?
with electric guitar blending trough air effects makes it sound like a different type of instrument.
Agneta and Frida sounds amazing!
SUCH A HAPPY SONG! PUTS ONE IN A GOOD MOOD! EVEN DANCE! I NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO ABBA TO MUCH. REALLY APPRECIATE THEM SO MUCH MORE NOW! THANK YOU HAP FOR THIS FUN REACTION 😘 🥳💃🕺🎶❤
Hi there, they are as much as capable of performing live as they are in studio recording. Their live performance has different qualities as they're more versatile and adventurous, hence producing another level of quality that could be likened to that of a wild mountain cat. When compared to their studio recordings, these are more clean, slick and polished, sort of a beautiful sweet domestic cat. The current SOS performance was not live, as was the common TV recording norms back then.
I tell you what-
1. If you wish to listen to ABBA's TRULY live TV performances, take a look at the videos of ABBA in the. Dick Clavet Shows. Its truly live and awesome.
2. If you wish to listen to their live concerts performances, do check out their live concerts in Australia 77 and US 79.
Last but not least, please react to ABBA's Move On
T
He knows how ABBA was in Concert because he begin react ABBA with the live perfomances in London 79:
Summer night city
Does your mother know
Hole in your soul
check it in his count
Thank you.
There were some standout women in 70s pop and rock: Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick, Patti Smith, Carole King, Suzi Quatro, Karen Carpenter, Christie Hynde, Stevie Nicks, Debbie Harry, Janis Ian, Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart). But Agnetha and Anni-Frid and ABBA had something unique in the magic blend of their voices. There weren’t like other rock and pop stars of the time, dealing with alcohol, drugs and anorexia in the sexual revolution. Having already each had successful recording careers on their own in the 60s, these four were mature, married couples, young mothers and fathers, singing about married life and the struggles of holding onto relationships in the modern world. The only two bands you could really compare them to are the diabetes-inducing Brotherhood of Man, and the explosive Fleetwood Mac.
Congrats to You! 15,377 views, 593 likes and ZEROOO Dislikes! Thats unusual ... And I understan Why - You're the perfect balance of Feelings, Analyse and Reactions. I just love to see Your next ABBA clip!
TV performance V concert performance, two different things.
Correct observations. 💯❤️ From Sweden
1975 I was a young soldier suffering my first broken heart .
QUEEN, BEATLES, ABBA, BEE GEES, SIMON & GARFUNKEL Great Bands! They're music is amazing. Love it! Thank you hap for your fun and nice reaction! 🙂
The _musically_ best *actual* live performances are the ones in Stockholm in 1981, made for Dick Cavett show.
Large parts of it are readily found on TH-cam (with varying sound quality though).
I would have fallen for Agnetha in this video had I not already fallen for her. 😀 Great reaction! I hope Benny still has that jacket.
I recommend reacting to ABBA's "Dancing Queen" (their biggest hit in the U.S. at No. 1), as well as "Fernando" and "Chiquitita."
Such a great Abba song probably one of my favourite ones actually the part I always get goosebumps on is the bit when it goes "When your gone how can I even try to go on' always gets me 🫠🫠🫠 if you don't love Abba music you have no soul 😂😂😂
I went to the ABBA museet shop. Bought the copy of the cat deresses. sewed the dresses into two pillows. Now on my bed 😀 at Lidingö Sweden.
You should get to some of the songs when both couples were breaking up…”The Winner Takes it All” comes to mind immediately. Love your ABBA journey btw. ❤
Abba👍👍👍♥️♥️
🥰😍😘💕ABBA η καλυτερη ομάδα όλων των εποχών ‼ ♫♪♫♪
Great reaction yet again. The song you were trying to figure out at the end #Hap3Speakz was Thank You For The Music. Would love you to react to So Long or That's Me.
Peter Townsend when he met bjorn ulveus said that this is the best pop song ever written
Thats was thank you for the music by ABBA.
This is so interesting. Watching your take on ABBA, I mean. It's like you started on the other end with a live version of "Summer Night City" at Wembley and then going back. Now I'll check out the rest of your reactions. :)
Please be the first person to review ABBA chronologically. It’d be fabulous.
If you look again, you'll notice that all 4 have matching outfits. As you mentioned, the ladies have each a white dress with cats on them, Björn has an _all white_ suit and Benny is _all cat_ in his leopard skin (fake of course) jacket. As you continue your exploration of ABBA, don't miss the huge contribution made by their sound engineer Michael B. Tretow - the man who created _The ABBA Sound_
Btw, there were a lot of bands with female lead singers, and of course female solo artists, in the 70's.
I love your reaction! Love the accent! Subscribing 😃
You should see their Outfits and Dance for SOS on American Bandstand.
Please react to That’s Me and Tiger by ABBA!
Love this song! Love THEM!
Epic track
There are only a few female rock leads or solo artists but one's that have them are outstanding such as Joni Mitchel, Linda Ronstadt, Janis Joplin, The Carpenters, Heart and Carol King. If you haven't reacted to them yet I'm sure if you do you'll really appreciate their talents.
Your smile says it all.
Thank you for another great reaction "may I suggest "Kisses Of Fire, Lovers Live A Little Longer" (Live Switzerland '79) I bet you'll like this! 😁🤗
One of my favorites!
I was 15 when this came out. Early ABBA. At that time we didn't hang with people who listened to ABBA :) (But yeah. Love the guys clear shoes!)
❤AMAZING SONG 2023❤
For a great female lead singer from the 1970s, listen to Ann Wilson with her sister Nancy on guitar in the group Heart. Barracuda would be a good start. They did Stairway to Heaven for a Led Zeppelin tribute, and got a standing ovation from the Led Zeppelin members. Also, anything by Linda Ronstadt.
Try their song:dancing queen,kisses of fire,voulez vous,summer night city,know in you know in me,eagle,king has lost his crown,i had a dream.
thank u
ABBA were never "goody too shoes". The fact that a politician in Australia wouldn't let them perform in his state's capital city because two ABBA members weren't married but living together, is but one example of their not so pristine reality.
As for songs, check out Gimme Gimme Gimme for a woman hanging out for an anonymous f#$k just so to ease her boredom and loneliness - hardly "goody too shoes ".
ABBA only seemed so clean because pop music culture was so utterly narcissistic and degenerate - nothing was too excessive. Anybody would seem straight compared to the boring excess of cultural officianado's then ... and now.
ABBA just let the music sing for itself rather than being tied down to a particular outrageous performance image... which is a big part of why their huge popularity keeps going.
God's greatest creation, 'Angetha' . . . What an incredible beauty. The 8th wonder of the world . . .
Platform shoes they cal it
Like the shirt. 😎
Back in the day they were known for their (then) sexy outfits. Same year did S.O.S. on American Bandstand in the short version of those dresses.
Abba's first hit in the USA is called Waterloo.
Hap has reacted to Waterloo before this reaction. Check his ABBA playlist out 😊
Great song! Even John Lennon said this was one of the best popsongs ever written! And they where just getting started !! It is not live, it is also not the original videoclip. On the end you mean the song thamk you for the music !
I don't remember, and I don't read or hear, that John Lennon said this
Also, there are some greatest musician that said this and like so much "S.O.S." (for example, Peter Townshed from The Who)
@@eduardooscar309 I looked it up just now and he said it was one of his favourit songs. So you are partly right I think
You've flipped your video at last. Now you're the right way round 😀
Thanks for the reaction! I hope you will react to the new ABBA songs I still have faith in you and Don't shut me down.
React to the live version HOLE IN MY SOUL by ABBA I'm sure you will approve.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
He did it before
Check it in his count
Thank you Eduardo~ in the ABBA playlist.

This is one of their really early ones, so their sound isn't as developed as later on :)
The girls' costumes look better with those long skirts gone, showing the matching shorter part of the costume underneath.
I really miss you reacting to Dimash🙏🏼
I had this great write up all set to go when my ADHD hit and I punched up another song. Now I am too depressed to try again. You would think at 70 yrs. old I would have out those issues, but NOOOOOOO!!!!! I'll try and make it up the next time. The only thing I remember is I was in love with the redhead. Is that Anita? Until the next time.
Lennon and Townsend good enough for me. Still their best song just shading Day before you came
Huge thanks for making two ABBA videos that are on my podium:
Waterloo and S.O.S. together with Dancing Queen are for me his three best songs
What can I suggest for future ABBA videos?
of their TV presentations I would choose "Mamma Mía" in the british program Top of the Pops
(curiosly but at this same week in January 1976 "Mamma Mía" picks at #1 in UK Charts and beat "Bohemian Raphsody" by Queen)
In your other BEE GEES video I left you a link to the premiere of "Chiquitita" for UNICEF at the United Nations (By that time the guitarist Björn and the blonde singer Agnetha had just separated)
And many of us would suggest their most famous heartbroken song
"The winner takes it all" (lyrics by guitarist Björn, about a divorce, sung by his ex-wife Agnetha)
And there is an Oliva Newton John TV special on the U.S. 1978 with Andy Gibb and ABBA as guest stars, which you can see all six interacting live with their greatest hits
This are only suggestions, surely you will have many more from other subscribers, it will be a great pleasure to see you with one of them or others that you choose
I wish you an excellent weekend
God bless you
My best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina
It's weird because I was never a fan back then but now have a secret obsession with the one song sos. Is that a harpsichord am I remembering a past life going back centuries? Why am I in the twightzone/Xfiles about this? What is going on and why did they sue Stig? And why is this the first name of a book or series I am also obsessed with. stig larsson the mellinum seirfes?
Don't know if anyone else has commented that these outfits are Andy Warhol designs.
They already disbanned themself,and each of them do their things,few years back they reunion perform,and they devoice.maybe remarry,i dont know.
Those long skirts come off and then they have mini dresses underneath.
fact - The reason why they wore such "far out costumes" in the 70's was " swedish tax deduction" purposes and it quite substantial to do it. They admit it themselves & the law existed. ( dont Swedish metal bands etc, have extreme costumes too.... thats why)
Men and women's reactions are completely different when watching that song. Some people just do not want to admit the obvious.
Only those ladies can wear those dresses and somehow remain attractive.;)
Try "move on"!
I don't think it's your cup of tea. I remember this song when it came out. I was a kid. For me it's all about the music. I never once thought about their clothes or appearance.
Shocking Blue, with the fabulous, the one and only Mariska Veres in front.
Hey people of TH-cam! 72 views right now and only 18 thumbs up? I mean I know it's Abba but come on!
React to Move On, The Piper, Soldiers, Me and I, im a marionette of Abba
Their music was disco but not quite disco. I couldn't stand the disco stuff. So, I tossed them in the discard pile. Now older, I'm fine with them.
And the long skirt comes off to reveal a mini dress.
Everybody could sing Abbafrom first listen, so you couldn’t actually admit that you liked them. Too poppy, not like the REAL bands like Led zeppelin etc. Obviously there were enough of us then and now they too are a great part of pop history.
What is Björn supposed to wear when the ladies are taller than he is?;-)
Female has been out there and made thing happen for centuries in sweden.
This is just talented persons got together.
Dont be simple and stupid and put a gender thing on this.
