Анни-Фрид просто сногосшибательна. Насколько она артистична. Все песни, где лидирует ее потрясающий вокал просто шедевральны. Хочется смотреть на ее красивое выразительное лицо - ее эмоциональность, шарм неповторимы.
Nice to see you really enjoy this ABBA classic and amazing Frida lead vocal as well! Nice observation about the difference with this video compared to the ones they had done previously up to this point (1976). The mood with the darker scenes and the close ups of Frida looking like a secret agent with the dark hat on and her peering out from under the brim does give this video a different sort of mood. And I love Frida’s total commitment to not just singing the song, but, “performing” it as well through her facial expressions and also her movements. I do think this is one of their more enjoyable videos because it’s actually illustrating much of the actual message of the song. When compared to say “Mamma Mia” which is a more fun type of vidI I really enjoyed this reaction vid the most so far out of your ABBA reactions I’ve watched so far (“Waterloo””SOS”, “Mamma Mia”, “Dancing Queen” and “Knowing Me Knowing You). I’m on to the next of your ABBA reactions and then on to whichever one is after that one. Hopefully you’ll continue your ABBA reactions with the same open and objective perspective because it’s refreshing and enjoyable to see.
ABBA is an unexplainable phenomenon of the music industry.....appealing to people from 2 to 92 years old, and with taxi drivers from Tehran to Toronto, tuning in to their music.
Also that "stupid"y Money... Still so relevant. Well they did get - many, many monies, they are spending it on the new ABBA Arena... For the fans, they didn't need to do anything, but somehow after 40 years they were stupid enough to makeba new album and a new show... Thank you ABBA.
Hi Hap, I am more fascinated with old music due to influence of my auntie and brother - ABBA is such a wonderful band. I also like the song Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia. Thank you for your great reaction. Love it🙂.
This came out just as I was leaving Primary School in 1976.. they look so fresh faced, hard to believe it's 45 years since then.. Underrated song. $1 back was worth a crap load more than it is now.. lets blame the producer for that wee mistake...
One of the best songs to hear the contrast between Frida and Agnetha’s voices. The video intricacies where the music is timed to Parts of the video is actually quite ahead of its time.
How nice to see you on a Sunday with two new ABBA videos both from the album "Arrival" (I see that you are following the historical correlation) the two with the leading voice of Frida (has more brilliance in this album) "Money money money" was the single that had the responsibility of succeeding the super hit "Dancing Queen" was # 1 in several countries, in England it was # 3 ABBA always bet not to repeat itself and to contrasts, and this is an example The song is in the style of cabaret, it lends itself very well to Frida's low-pitched voice, and the backing vocals are very catchy. The video is very good, it is the first different from ABBA, it alternates images of the 'jet set' with the four premiering their iconic kimono suits
You’re right. It’s story telling like a mini film. I think those dark spotlight moments are there as the character’s thoughts to herself of greed, scheming and determination. It’s her dream. but it’s not a happy one. ...yet. And yeah I get a James Bond title music vibe from this song.
I like this one. You couldn't avoid alot of popular music back then. Commuting to and from work or school everyday turn on the radio to find out what is going on with the traffic and there it was 🙂 It has all the right formula to make you like and remember it. On the other hand the radio did the same thing with "Send in the Clowns" and I hated it. A different formula on that song.
Like your father, my parents were also ABBA fans, it's their generation (I remember, they had records) but my first memories of their songs is going to amusement park many times when I was a kid and while spinning on the merry-go-round ABBA's and Boney M's music was blasting through the speakers! 😊 Every single time! On TV, Radio, ABBA was everywhere! Maybe that's how you too know their songs, at some point in time you just had to hear it somewhere, they were hit-makers like you said..And money was a song theme before this one..Remember, "Money makes the world go round, the world go round.." (Liza Minelli, "Cabaret") so I guess, people are fascinated with Money almost as with Love - it's hard to live without it, it can make you happy but also unhappy (money and love)
Nice reaction! I just want to point out that Abba never was a "disco-group". They did one very disco influenced album, Voulez vous but on their other albums were not much disco. For instance Mamma Mia, SOS, Name of the game, Knowing me Knowing you are pop songs. The Winner takes it all a pop ballad. They did songs in a lot of genres. Here are some examples: psychedelic (Eagle), reggae (Tropical loveland), cabaret? (money, money money), ballads (Andante Andante, Happy New Year, Thank you for the music and many more,), rock (Rock me, Tiger, Hole in your soul), country? (Why did it have to be me, Another town Another train), classic/instrumental (Intermezzo nr 1, Arrival) and progressive rock (I am a marrionette/ The visitors).
This is a really well written song. And I hadn’t put together that the darkness in the song may be why it’s one of my favorite ABBA songs. If the internet is to be believed, UK wages are about 7x higher now than in 1976.
I find it kind of ironic that Frida sings this song. Did she have some sort of crystal ball? After her divorce from Benny, she did find her rich man (a Prince) and che actually thus became a Princess and when he died, her fortune climbed vastly (that is not to say that any of the four members of ABBA are/were poor). And from what I understand, her current partner is a Viscount, so yeah, she did find her rich men!
Thanks for the ABBA. Your dad sounds like a smart man. Probably happy too. I don't see how anybodt can say they dislike ABBA. I mean they did like every genre. It's kinda like saying you dislike music. Even with what you've reacted too, how many genres has it been. You should react to "Head Over Heels" and through another one the list.
Hi again. One of ABBAs coolest songs. Theatrical. I read some reviews about the lyrics: "Yes, they sing the truth about money" etc. They should know that Scandinavian people, then especially, or even now, never would state these desires openly. Wealth or economics is very personal here. To ask people about their income etc is taboo. I read these lyrics as satiric/ironic story telling...about a bit cynical gold digger.
LOL, your dad has good taste, you'd be surprised the huge swath of people who love them from rappers to metalheads to classical artists!! They had hits in Zimbabwe and got behind the iron curtain as well. They were pretty clever. Glad you are enjoying them as well.
Also I see that you appreciate the videos made by Lasse Hallström, very good director. He made these before music videos even existed, he has made a lot of good movies since - if you want to make a movie channel that would be a nice starting point - like "Hachiko" and other movies about dogs if you like dogs... Or just watch them - good movies!
Maybe they did 1-dollar bills in a video on purpose, not to be very serious and not to make poorer people envious. 1-dollar bills represent money being a symbol, at the same time they don't rly show a lot of money. So it's more like a symbolism
I'm loving this - a young fella like you is teaching this old girl so much! 😂 I've always been very black and white in my music tastes and I either liked a band/singer or refused to listen to them. I'm learning through this channel to change my attitude and look for the positive in all kinds of music. I'm still struggling with some but I'm getting there. Enjoyed this reaction, which I would never had said a few months ago so thanks for all you're doing, Hap! 👍
Thanks for enjoying my exploration with ABBA. Do check out the playlist ABBA Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLJ9YwB64vpLkJ8Mcjn2PHF9Fu9CfJoDqL.html As it helps sustains that channel too. Thank you.
Look after the singles and the hundreds - thousands - will take care of themselves? Also, possibly the word you're seeking is Film Noir? Certainly this one relies on the effect of chiaroscuro - light/dark dramatic effect of the detective novels/films you mentioned. Used to great effect by graphic artists such as Will Eisner and Milton Caniff, also influenced by such movies.
Just found your reactions to abba, love it, nice to see, i wasbrought up on them, my era ! Have you heard there new single, Dont Shut Me Down, 40 years after they spit up ? Im a massive Elvis fan, would be great to see you react to the goat, ths king ??
HAP3, I see the song as a flashy, hook-laden critique of big money capitalism and fortune hunters. Admittedly, this is kinda ironic as ABBA were at some point pretty much the biggest export business in Sweden.
Today, they would've waved 5 $ bills.... that's the inflation rate for you from 76 till today... Actually thought it was more, atl 10 $ ones "If I had a wealthy man...." Well in the end AnniFrid married a German prince, and has the official title Anni-Frid Reuss von Plauen. Not that I think she did it for money, guess she's good for life w royalties of ABBA franchise. But anyhow, she found a wealthy man.... So should we say; "Careful what you sing about"? XD

Frida is so cool here!! ❤️
Frida at her most powerful here. Over the years, this song has really grown on me. Love it!
Always be proud of being an Abba fan.
Very well said. I have been one since they started in the 1970iest. :)
Hurray! One of my favorite songs of ABBA
The Name of the Game

This is a three minute masterpiece.
Peeps forget how genius they are
Imagine that Abba tunes are secretly songs from some Broadway musical you've never heard of.
Well, it worked out for Frida. She's now worth hundreds of millions of dollars and is a princess. 😊
Здорово!!!Когда то вся Россия треслась под песни АББА.!Супер👌👌👌Замечательная группа😘🤲❣
Спасибо
One of the best songs to hear the contrast between Frida and Agnetha’s voices. The video intricacies where the music is timed to Parts of the video is actually quite ahead of its time.
Can't go wrong with ABBA! Try the video for 'That's Me' and 'Tiger' from the same album! Great songs
How nice to see you on a Sunday with two new ABBA videos
both from the album "Arrival"
(I see that you are following the historical correlation)
the two with the leading voice of Frida
(has more brilliance in this album)
"Money money money" was the single that had the responsibility of succeeding the super hit "Dancing Queen"
was # 1 in several countries, in England it was # 3
ABBA always bet not to repeat itself and to contrasts, and this is an example
The song is in the style of cabaret, it lends itself very well to Frida's low-pitched voice, and the backing vocals are very catchy.
The video is very good, it is the first different from ABBA, it alternates images of the 'jet set' with the four premiering their iconic kimono suits
Thanks Edward ;)
Past * Present * Past wins * 👌🥂🙏
The way of the music base is like that as cabaret
They are releasing 5 new songs this year!
Check out that masterful bass guitar. I believe the guy's name was Gunnarson.
I love this one by them!
React to If it wasn't for the nights
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please, "The winner takes it all" The best song
The winner is their very best!
Yeah!
You should do The Day Before You Came. It's a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece, it's also number 6 in the all time top one hundred records in history.
You’re right. It’s story telling like a mini film. I think those dark spotlight moments are there as the character’s thoughts to herself of greed, scheming and determination. It’s her dream. but it’s not a happy one. ...yet.

thanks for sharing your personal story.
" it's hard to live without it" - Sounds like part of an ABBA song. You should write lyrics.
The sarcasm "I bet he would not fancy me".
Its a german caberet type song , Thinks of Lisa minelli,s Sally bowls in caberet money makes the world go round.
Hope you one day, take. Eagels, Nice musikk
Nice reaction! I just want to point out that Abba never was a "disco-group".

oh by disco - I mean songs you can just dance to. Not typically a disco group per se. Thanks St.
I totally love Voulez vous - one of their best!
Hi,,im in norway,,great reaction ,you are funny too ,,,
This is a really well written song. And I hadn’t put together that the darkness in the song may be why it’s one of my favorite ABBA songs.
If the internet is to be believed, UK wages are about 7x higher now than in 1976.
Awesome comments & reaction Hap! 💜🎶

Hi! From buenos aires Argentina! Dont miss to react to ABBA song Lovelight !!!!
Look after the singles and the hundreds - thousands - will take care of themselves? Also, possibly the word you're seeking is Film Noir? Certainly this one relies on the effect of chiaroscuro - light/dark dramatic effect of the detective novels/films you mentioned. Used to great effect by graphic artists such as Will Eisner and Milton Caniff, also influenced by such movies.
Just found your reactions to abba, love it, nice to see, i wasbrought up on them, my era ! Have you heard there new single, Dont Shut Me Down, 40 years after they spit up ? Im a massive Elvis fan, would be great to see you react to the goat, ths king ??
HAP3, I see the song as a flashy, hook-laden critique of big money capitalism and fortune hunters. Admittedly, this is kinda ironic as ABBA were at some point pretty much the biggest export business in Sweden.
It's not about them of course, like for instance how The Beatles did Taxman, but about a character in the lyrics.
the words you're looking for are film noire
I think you’re thinking about Warren Buffett!
Today, they would've waved 5 $ bills.... that's the inflation rate for you from 76 till today...
Actually thought it was more, atl 10 $ ones
"If I had a wealthy man...." Well in the end AnniFrid married a German prince, and has the official title Anni-Frid Reuss von Plauen.
Not that I think she did it for money, guess she's good for life w royalties of ABBA franchise. But anyhow, she found a wealthy man.... So should we say; "Careful what you sing about"? XD
I have always thought that they choose to use one’s and not Benjamins was planned.
Maybe it’s not going to happen? Don’t know.
😘🤗🤎🤎🤎🎧🎤🌹....
