Woody’sThoughts SOS is my favorite song by them too, Think it was a precursor to “the winner takes it all” They knew they were in trouble, and the “writing was on the wall” then they wrote and performed “The winner takes it all” as they were going through divorce
Thanks for the ABBA. Those Kat dresses had Velcro at the waist. Depending on their mood they could turn them into micro mini's. They didn't miss many bases, they had them all covered. But it was always in good taste and with a wink. Love when Agnetha does the sad/hurt voice. You should react to her 2004 "Past, Present and Future". I'm sure ABBA fan's would enjoy it. Again thanks and stay safe.
@@jselectronics8215 You know I watched a pretty good ABBA doc. last night. Don't know how much is true though. "ABBA - When All Is Said And Done" ---> th-cam.com/video/IZuBPdpejmE/w-d-xo.html
@@Flatwoodsdad Thanks very much for that link, it was well done. I had read about the affair with her stalker but did not know he had a secret shrine that she discovered, bringing her to her senses.
With SOS I fell in love with them. My favorite is "Lay all your love on me" and also Chiquitita. And not to forget The Winner takes it all and not to forget Mamma Mia. Thats it in a nutshell ...
So Glad to see you again, this time with my favorite ABBA song maybe don't remember that You do before reactions to "Mamma Mía" and "Knowing me knowing you", two of the nine #1 of ABBA in UK remember that ABBA was two couples: Agnetha Fältskog (blonde singer) & (Björn Ulveaus guitarist songwriter) Benny Andersson (pianist songwriter) & Anni Frid Lyngstad (brunette singer) "S.O.S." (1975) has a story It was one of his first recordings after the success of Your victory in the famous Eurovision Song Contest 1974 with the iconic "Waterloo", just four months later But it waited a year for its release "Waterloo" needed another theme to confirm the trend and it was not an isolated success or a stroke of luck ABBA's next three elections failed to stand out Until finally "S.O.S." have your chance to be a single, and broke the drought, reaching #6 in the U.K. and #15 in the U.S. being their second hit in both countries at the same time and six #1 and more Top 10 in several countries of all continents, It's made "S.O.S." the second worldwide hit to ABBA after "Waterloo" and then, hit after hit, "S.O.S." is the first of 18 Top 10 consecutives in UK between 1975/1981 "S.O.S." in less than 200 seconds is a gem, a masterpiece! The transitions from the dramatic opening (a dingy piano and a cracking Agnetha voice) to a powerful rock beat and catchy chorus are brilliant. ABBA marked an era in many ways One was the musical leadership of its beautiful and lofty female vocalists as the center of attention Another was the use of contrasts, such as sad lyrics with catchy melodies and harmonies And their recording tecnique "wall of sound" gives ABBA more powerfull For a next reaction I suggest: "Waterloo" your first worldwide hit at Eurovision Song Contest 1974 when ABBA begin to be famous to win the competition between 17 songs of all Europe ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, left an unforgettable mark on several generations It is good music that lasts and stays alive and well. Thank you very much for your videos, your sympathy and your love for good music See you in another video Best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Although English, I've lived in Sweden for 25 years. All the members of the band were already highly accomplished musicians in their own right before the band 'ABBA' was formed.
Sweden was a second home for my as my gf was from Sweden. I would travel in and out of the country with her. She resembled Anni-Frid. She loved ABBA but more Ace of Base
Abba had an incredible run 1975-1976. I do x5. Nr 1 in Australia and started "Abbamania" there. SOS Mamma mia Fernando, non album single selling 10 million. Dancing Queen also around 10 million. Knowing me knowing you. UK nr 1 Money money money. UK nr 3 and nr 1 in a lot of countries. Great songs like That's me, When I kissed the teacher and My love my life were reduced to b-sides/album tracks. But Abbas four best albums came later The album, Volez vous, Super trouper and The visitors. + singles like Gimme gimme gimme and Summer night city. The Album their most diverse with lots of different styles with classics like The name of the game and Thank you for the music. Voulez vous. Their most disco-y album As good as new, Kisses of fire, Angeleyes did not even become the hits from this album. Super trouper. Their best in my opinion. The winner takes it all, Lay all your love on me, Happy new year, Our last summer, Andante andante. The visitors. Their darkest and most experimental after The album. One of us, The visitors, Slippin through my fingers and When all is said and done. The album that never came. 7-8 songs were recorded for a ninth album but they were losing the inspiration for Abba and never completed it. The day before you came is by many considered as one of their best.
From your paragraph above, the B-side song "Man in the Middle," is really quite a funky song, and a different style from many of their radio hits. You might enjoy hearing it. They're really jammin' on it!
Love this song and video! Interestingly, there's another video of them doing this song on American Bandstand with these exact same dress print designs that the girls are wearing, but with short dresses instead long!
I went to the shop at ABBA museum here in Stockholm. I bought two copy of the cat the dresses. I made two beutyful pillows of it. Have them on my bed. Heja Sverige😁🇸🇪👍
Abba had many hits and many fans in their official time of 1973- 1983, you probably only know Dancing Queen because in America it was their only number one hit, even though they had many other songs the were high on the charts(just look at the tracks on their ABBA Gold greatest hits album. And like me, most or all of their biggest fans love not just the hits but all of their album tracks also. Plus each of the ladies (Agnatha and Annifrid, better known as “ Frida” ) had some successful solo albums and singles. Although they were very popular in the USA they were absolutely huge in many other countries, having many more #1 hits in several countries, especially Australia and the UK.
I bought this 45 RPM single record in grade school at a yard sale across the street for a penny. I bought this and Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles which also had yellow submarine. They were already well played and kind of scratched up but I played them constantly. Actually love that combination with the slit and the high boots. They were Swedish and in fact in the early days that couldn't speak English very well so they had to learn a lot of their own lyrics by speaking them phonetically.
Listen to the crunching distorted guitars in the background. Would love to hear the Foo Fighters do a cover of this. I think Grohl and company would absolutely do this song justice. ABBA was on a level that most people could never reach
You have to do MADE IN SWEDEN FOR EXPORT, they have removed / cut off half of their lovely dresses. Showing a lot of legs instead. So Long is the real name of the song I think
Did you know those long skirts were fastened by velcro and could be removed to reveal a very mini mini skirt? Frida absolutely loves clothes and studied clothes design in Stockholm in case singing didn't work out. She helped design those dresses. She's a very accomplished seamstress and often woul make her own clothes. She also helped with many of ABBAS costumes including the Waterloo ones.
You live NY, right? How about reacting to an Abba song that was definately inspired by New York? The name of the song is ”I am the city”. Unfortunately the video is not showing the band in action, it’s grafics. But it’s worth one of your mellow an uplifting reactions. The song was recorded 1978 but not released until the 90ies, I think?
Tysheen, another great music video you should react to is titled - "NEW ° Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days (Stereo)" It's a newly uploaded high quality version of a music video she did in 1968. Paul McCartney of the Beatles wrote the song from an old Russian folk song for Mary to record, It was a big hit for her! Mary is from Wales. The Welsh are well known for their singing talents and she definitely lives up to it. link - th-cam.com/video/9mac-TLucdo/w-d-xo.html
I think S.O.S. is my favorite ABBA song. Another good one by them is, "The Winner Takes it All."
I agree SOS is amazing, I think slipping through my fingers is my favourite 🤩

😊 thank you
Knowing Me Knowing You, Fernando, Money Money Money, Super Trouper --- ABBA had loads and loads of amazing songs!!!!
I react to a lot of Abba songs, Check them out.
Can’t go wrong with ABBA
One of my favourite ABBA songs
The first time the piano bridge leads into the harmonised chorus on 'SOS' is a golden moment in pop songwriting.
So Glad to see you again, this time with my favorite ABBA song
maybe don't remember that You do before reactions to "Mamma Mía" and "Knowing me knowing you", two of the nine #1 of ABBA in UK
remember that ABBA was two couples:
Agnetha Fältskog (blonde singer) & (Björn Ulveaus guitarist songwriter)
Benny Andersson (pianist songwriter) & Anni Frid Lyngstad (brunette singer)
"S.O.S." (1975) has a story
It was one of his first recordings after the success of Your victory in the famous Eurovision Song Contest 1974 with the iconic "Waterloo", just four months later
But it waited a year for its release
"Waterloo" needed another theme to confirm the trend and it was not an isolated success or a stroke of luck
ABBA's next three elections failed to stand out
Until finally "S.O.S." have your chance to be a single, and broke the drought, reaching #6 in the U.K. and #15 in the U.S. being their second hit in both countries at the same time
and six #1 and more Top 10 in several countries of all continents,
It's made "S.O.S." the second worldwide hit to ABBA after "Waterloo"
and then, hit after hit, "S.O.S." is the first of 18 Top 10 consecutives in UK between 1975/1981
"S.O.S." in less than 200 seconds is a gem, a masterpiece!
The transitions from the dramatic opening (a dingy piano and a cracking Agnetha voice) to a powerful rock beat and catchy chorus are brilliant.
ABBA marked an era in many ways One was the musical leadership of its beautiful and lofty female vocalists as the center of attention
Another was the use of contrasts, such as sad lyrics with catchy melodies and harmonies
And their recording tecnique "wall of sound" gives ABBA more powerfull
For a next reaction I suggest:
"Waterloo" your first worldwide hit
at Eurovision Song Contest 1974
when ABBA begin to be famous to win the competition between 17 songs of all Europe
ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, left an unforgettable mark on several generations
It is good music that lasts and stays alive and well.
Thank you very much for your videos, your sympathy and your love for good music
See you in another video
Best regards from
Buenos Aires, Argentina
I have videos of those songs on my channel.
Although English, I've lived in Sweden for 25 years.

SOS
Mamma mia
Fernando, non album single selling 10 million.
Dancing Queen also around 10 million.
Knowing me knowing you. UK nr 1
Money money money. UK nr 3 and nr 1 in a lot of countries.
Great songs like That's me, When I kissed the teacher and My love my life were reduced to b-sides/album tracks.
But Abbas four best albums came later The album, Volez vous, Super trouper and The visitors.
+ singles like Gimme gimme gimme and Summer night city.
The Album their most diverse with lots of different styles with classics like The name of the game and Thank you for the music.
Voulez vous. Their most disco-y album As good as new, Kisses of fire, Angeleyes did not even become the hits from this album.
Super trouper. Their best in my opinion. The winner takes it all, Lay all your love on me, Happy new year, Our last summer, Andante andante.

Great song swedish 70s pop are awesome
You are the best, you pick such great songs, are you from this planet, thank you so much, can't wait for the next reaction
Definitely a top notch tune by ABBA. This along with "Dancing Queen" and "Take A Chance On Me" are my top three.
Peace Out 😊✌
From your paragraph above, the B-side song "Man in the Middle," is really quite a funky song, and a different style from many of their radio hits. You might enjoy hearing it. They're really jammin' on it!
Loving all this ABBA 😍😍
Move On is a great song, it starts out with a spoken word intro then the angelic voices follow. Great version in spanish that they did as well.
Love this song and video! Interestingly, there's another video of them doing this song on American Bandstand with these exact same dress print designs that the girls are wearing, but with short dresses instead long!
In the ABBA music video of the song So long ( made in sweden for export 1975) u will see the short version of the white dresses.
And the crowd waits for more ABBA 🙏🙏

Definitely need to do more ABBA. 'Summer Night City' is the best disco track.
I just finish recording two Abba videos, will upload soon.
@@TysheenOrane Scotland salutes you.
Abba - Happy New Year
Any more ABBA - LOVE LOVE LOVE this band!
Just remember - You can never have too much ABBA. It's all good. Have you done "One Of Us"?
I bought this 45 RPM single record in grade school at a yard sale across the street for a penny. I bought this and Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles which also had yellow submarine. They were already well played and kind of scratched up but I played them constantly. Actually love that combination with the slit and the high boots. They were Swedish and in fact in the early days that couldn't speak English very well so they had to learn a lot of their own lyrics by speaking them phonetically.
ABBA had all their clothes specially made for each song and performance.
Pease react to ABBA. Name of the Game and Slipping thru my Fingers ,live version from tv show and Thank you for the Music !
Listen to the crunching distorted guitars in the background. Would love to hear the Foo Fighters do a cover of this. I think Grohl and company would absolutely do this song justice. ABBA was on a level that most people could never reach

You must listen to LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME,this is an masterpiece
Thank you betutiful woman for taking on this song:
I think this is their best song.
the blue and the yellow colour on their dresses represent the colours of the swedish flag
Just wonderful thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
❤🎉Agnetha🎉❤❤🎉Frida🎉❤
what had happened to our love,,,, that is the hurtful pain in the chest for a love settlement,,, that is another level of plead...
Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie another jam

I hope their comeback repaves the way for artists to go back to making more original music with actual instruments etc
Love that chair dancing
If you haven't yet, you should seriously give their song "What's The Name Of The Game?" a listen.
Should be titled, "Tysheen Hears Music For The First Time Ever!"
Owe Sandström made ABBA's costumes! 😃
Those outfits became almost legendary!
Try reacting to Fernando!
Please play ABBA- VOULEZ VOUES -Spain 1979. Thank you and God bless you luv..

for certain countries they had to wear full length skirts. Normally they'd just wear the shorts underneath
Up there with the beatles
Tysheen, another great music video you should react to is titled - "NEW ° Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days (Stereo)"
It's a newly uploaded high quality version of a music video she did in 1968. Paul McCartney of the Beatles wrote the song from an old Russian folk song for Mary to record, It was a big hit for her! Mary is from Wales. The Welsh are well known for their singing talents and she definitely lives up to it.

1970's flashback....if you missed the 70's, I'm sorry for you!
"ABBA - Gimme Gimme Gimme" is a really good one. Just don't do the one with "live" in the title.
They were married to each other they have since divorced from one another
Njezin glas još nijedna nije naslijedila!
