#Blancmange #TheDayBeforeYouCame #MangeTout - เพลง
The best cover of the best Abba song.. Hands down Blancmange the best after all these years ...
I first watched this video in 1988... It's already been 30 years, but it's great.
it's rare a cover version done in the same style nails it. here we are.
I love the way Agnetha is still used in the video :)
A fantastic cover, timeless.
Would really really love a new album guys....
Never knew they had this song out lovely version
This is the perfect bookend to the original. And to have Agethna in the video as well just adds to that. it's long been my favorite ABBA song and it's great to see it treated so well.
One of the cleverest songs ever written. I’m still not sure if I fully understand it 40 years later. Blancmange’s version is utterly sublime, without doubt an epic cover version.
Blancmange
Probably one of the best covers ever
Absolutely correct.
@@mortisxx5712fastastic!
It's just about a person living a mundane life before he (or she, in the ABBA version) met someone that changed his life.
He is describing what his days were like before, and how much the same they were.
This has long been my favourite ABBA song, but this Blancmange cover is brilliant.
This song was the best ABBA cover versions ever.
OBSESSED with this song still!!! (And it’s 2023) I wish I could go back in time and go to one of their concerts.
They play now more than ever. Go see them!
defo!!!!!
Me too! L O V E it!
@@KarlHamilton Blancmange
Going to see them tomorrow!!!
OMG this song makes me cry. lOL
He is gorgeous here xx
The best cover version of this brilliant Abba song ever :))
The smile at the end
"This song gives me chills every time I listen to it. The artist's voice is so powerful and the melody is incredibly catchy. Can't get enough of it!"
This is much better than I remember.
Beautiful version of a beautiful song.
Couldn't agree anymore. Lucky
Pretty much one of the best comments I've read, both versions are crackers 👊😎
@@patrickbrett1552 Blancmange
Takes me back to my youth obsessed with this song
Fantastic cover of a classic song. Great video with the original Abba. Excellent.
27 to 29 seconds in... The most beautiful smile ever.
Forgot they covered this heard it on the radio couple days ago terrific
The best cover of any song.
Yes. Awesome
Agnetha is at her peak of beauty in ABBA's video for this.Neil did a first song, live acapella of this on their last but one tour a couple of years ago and it was totally brilliant and somewhat moving.
I think Agnetha’s peak of beauty was in 1975-1976. When ABBA was on American Bandstand, doing SOS.
Im identifying as a man of the 80's for ever and staying there lol.
I love Blancmange, but ABBA are in a class of their own. 😊
Such an underrated song. The 12inch version of this is absolutely magical.
Oh behave X
@@hilo675512 inches of anything is usually pretty magical, except that pianist. Like dude, why you so smøl?
In 2015 I met someone. I'd been in a bad place. We gradually fell in love that summer. We both loved ABBA. I said I love this version; improved on the original, which I loved anyway; she was less convinced. But every year I would send her this the day before the anniversary of our meeting. "It's funny, but I have no sense of living without aim... the day before you came..." Well, it lasted five years.
… most people swoon over their debut album ‘Happy Families’ which in itself is a terrific piece of music … but ‘Mange Tout’ truly trampled the sophomore jinx, with its corral of strong offerings, ‘Don’t Tell Me’, ‘Blind Vision’, ‘That’s Love That It Is’ & this single … ABBA songs are typically hard to cover with their lush layers & harmonies … yet, the boys improve with their vision of it, rarely said, better than the original
I agree with you 100% and I also love "Believe You Me." Blancmange are one of my favorite bands from the 80's and I continue to purchase all of their recent releases as well. By the way, as much as I adore ABBA, I like this version much better. I hope that is not a blasphemous statement to say to all of the music fans out there in the world. ;-)
Fantastic version. Love them since 80s.
Beautifully said thank you
@@shanefitzpatrick5811 very sorry if I called you an idiot I do apologize
@@timwood8912 no don't think you did. Thanks for apologising even though there was no need. Also isn't it great there making music again. Had them,Duran Duran,Abc,Yazoo etc on my school bag back in the day and still love them all. Have a great day and week Tim. Talk again.
Pop perfection. Beautiful.
Extremely handsome man there! Jeez!
First time ever hearing this.. Simply beautiful!
Love the banging of the doors of an 1980’s train 😊
Heard this last week on absoluteradio80s forgotten 80s segment. I don’t know where to start, it’s just brilliant. The end.
blancmange are just a joy
Agreed 💯
This is just beyond great. ❤️
Blancmange
Fantastic! As good as a modern song can ever be..
MASTERPIECE X
Such a great cover of an amazingly written song.
Super version !!!!👍👍👍
The most gorgeous women to ever walk this world without doubt and a beautiful singer to boot. Loved her since 1974.
Just brilliant
excellent bravo
Best cover on the original!
Nice to see the ABBA lady at the end of video,that was their song.
The kick at 1:35 ❤
Pinnacle of parody. I adore the original but keep coming back to this. Brilliant literal clips to accompany the video (especially the Lin Drum fill) and random Gharbar on the TV. So sad we don't have this sort of thing anymore - "I must have made my desk" - cut to video of an Ikea flat pack SNAFU just to keep it Swedish. Shout out to those with a sense of humour.
Love this version as much as the original. Great version, and just love the original, it should have been more popular then a lot of the ABBA songs. ❤️💙
A great cover that I had forgotten about. (57 years old here)
I still smile at the thought of a gruff Yorkshireman settling down with the latest Barbara Cartland.
I think you mean proud Lancastrian!
layers
onion boi
Of course, this was an amusing change to the original lyric, which was ‘the latest one by Marilyn French, or something in that style’ 😊
3:25
Loved this version
Just seen them tonight in Manchester UK. Sound just as good as they did back then especially this tune..
I FINALLY FOUND IT OMG YAYAYYA
Great song. I. Love it.
so beautfull song.

I loved this when it was in the charts in the UK and it wasn’t until years later that I discovered it was a cover of an ABBA song. It’s nice how the footage of Agbetha has been used in the video as well.
I Was 14,.. gone to a secondry school I knew noone,.. but the 3 fittest birds in school all liked Blancmange, found out I did and invited me to Appollo in Manchester,..my first ever gig with Three top birds,.. could have made more of it, but I was only young ,and my Yamaha TY 175 was my baby.. couldnt believe they would sit outside Niels mums house in Darwen, lancs, hopeing he would turn up,..his mum actually brought some biscuits out,.. wasn,t there myself,.. scrambling on my Ty175 listening to this on my walkmen...had it pretty good looking back...should of had a threesome with them though,...lol...hope you are all well...enjoy the track
i don't know what my life was like before i saw elaine in the school playground back in 1974, but i know how empty my life has been since i last saw her i n 1979.
Nostalgia for a time when we had a 'lunch hour'.
It's my favourite Abba song X
Brilliant the way Blancmange was able to capture the ABBA original here. When you listen to the ABBA original, it is this version. A very 80's new wave song by ABBA.
wow first time i heard this incredible song.
Wow. That's great, well done.
The day before you came was also sung by abba but I must admit I love blancmange version he seems to put more emphasis into this song and he sings it to perfection well done top guy from mr Colin Corcoran high street royal mile Edinburgh 👍🏻🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏻
Maravillosa versión, no la había escuchado. Bravisimo!!!
Great version makes me feel free peace and love people xx
Always loved this 80s music was pure bliss
Superb cover of this song!
Великолепно, браво👏👏👏
pure parody yet hits all the right feelings lol it's every bit as good as the original which is v.hard to do
1984 summer the day before you came
this works for me as a Christian song. My life was life this THE DAY BEFORE JESUS CAME!
Blancmange
Weird: I first heard ABBA's version the day before I was saved!
@@andrewmacleod6251 where do you go to church? anywhere near London?
@@paulsaxton2441 In Ilderton, just north of London. A joint with the original name of Community Bible Church.
Good God!
My friend died in a motorcycle accident at the time,he was only 16,reminds me so much of him.
So underrated; my SO of the time and I (two musicians and big music nerds) were having a pretty bad argument and Spotify was playing rec's in the background - all of a sudden, the extended version of this cover came on and we both shut the hell up, turned our heads to the laptop and just listened to it (argument forgotten). It's so good
Blancmange
Blancmange of course you did!
Sensacional... Perfeita, melhor até que a original.
Nice!
Отличный кавер🥰🥰
Love Neil! Saw him a month ago. Looks even more youthful now
Круто!!!
I wiish there was a cove in Winden where I could crawl trough,
Just seen you at The Boiler room Guildford. An older crowd in house but appreciating the artistic talent and passion as it should be. Brilliant and thanks.
I must have, I must have, I must have.... poor dude is suffering from amnesia.
Agnetha is the prettiest women in the history of the universe
This is quite a good version...though Agnetha's beauty swings it!
❤❤❤
good Version
and so Marilyn French became Barbara Cartland ... and later became Margaret Attwood in the version by Meryl Streep!
J'aime obsessionnellement cette chanson, la version originale et la sublime version de Alan Bronner.
The best version of this song. Still love it in 2023

1984
Very close to the original version!
good song i enjoyed, imran hasan.
This always reminds me of a book by Vladimir Nabokov called Mary.
2:01 is the highlight
Agreed. That spot. It is what I remembered from almost 40 years ago, can't believe.
@@russelfernandes8483 glad to know its not just me haha.
Very nice Version ,ABBA is very proud of you ♥️ very Talented ,Thanke you for this Moment 💛❤️💕❤️🔥❤️🔥💙🧡🧡❣️💜❤️🩹💌💞
I first knew Blancmange listening to 'Mange Tout', back in the eighties. I was living in Japan at the time, and it was a Japanese LP. It seems to me that the mix on this particular song was slightly different.
The video is for the shorter single version, which is remixed. It's different from the 'Mange Tout' LP version. In America, our version of the 'Mange Tout' LP contained the 12" mix of this song. Sire Records did that with Depeche Mode and Yazoo too.
@@cdpetee thanks, good explanation. I eventually acquired the US LP, and noticed the difference there, but didn't realize it was a 12 inch mix.
That bit starting @1:35 sounds like New Order's Blue Monday... Just saying :)) Edited
Or Donna Summer’s 1979 Our Love, which New Order ‘borrowed’?
Is it me or does the TH-cam version differ from the album version ?
ABBA brought me here
