I really think Frida must have liked this song, because while she always danced and was energetic on stage, she never really went THIS hard before. Something about the lyrics must have spoken to her!
Hello, so happy to see You return with more ABBA songs in our ABBA Journey "So long" (1974) has many interesting things to analyze its rhythm is in the similar glam rock style of "Waterloo", it was recorded in 1974, months after ABBA's triumph at Eurovision And since the reissue of “Ring Ring” after “Waterloo” barely made it into the UK Top 40, ABBA's search for a second hit to reinforce “Waterloo” focused on “So long” precisely because of its rhythm and style in the vein of "Waterloo" But it didn't even make it onto the UK charts, only #91 believe The following year ABBA would try "I do I do I do I do I do" another Top 40, until finally it was "S.O.S." that broke the ‘only one hit’ curse to #6 in the UK and #15 in the US, and from then on ABBA was the hit-after-hit machine. "So long" I think is more aggressive than "Waterloo", and at the same time more fun (but don't have the magic of "Waterloo") Agnetha and Frida do one of their most memorable choreographies (Frida is a fantastic dancer) And the live performance on the 1977 Australia Tour is spectacular, is the last song (before the encores) "So long" is a very good song that unfortunately did not have commercial success But ABBA always included it in their first TV specials until 1976 included.

I LOVE this uptempo song !! Specially from another video with good sound quality,a bit more bass.And we fans will never get the answer to what the 2 men in hats,is doing in the background..
@@swedeman5785 You can see in the video that the ABBA members were shipped in a wooden box (for export as the title says) and these two guys have received the box at the arrival location.
If you love Abba many you would like Tommy Johansson, even him from Sweden tribute them with a rock version of Abba's The winner takes it all ua-cam.com/video/0Uz3VcwWQkE/v-deo.htmlsi=5OlnzgNnHn_r1TtI He is amazing🥰

Underrated song, with so many other amazing tunes this gets a bit lost in the shuffle. It's always been one of my favorite deep tracks.
That was fun, we knew u would like this particular video. Frida was always breaking out the crazy moves.

Hello, so happy to see You return with more ABBA songs in our ABBA Journey
"So long" (1974)
has many interesting things to analyze
its rhythm is in the similar glam rock style of "Waterloo", it was recorded in 1974, months after ABBA's triumph at Eurovision
And since the reissue of “Ring Ring” after “Waterloo” barely made it into the UK Top 40, ABBA's search for a second hit to reinforce “Waterloo” focused on “So long” precisely because of its rhythm and style in the vein of "Waterloo"
But it didn't even make it onto the UK charts, only #91 believe
The following year ABBA would try "I do I do I do I do I do" another Top 40, until finally it was "S.O.S." that broke the ‘only one hit’ curse to #6 in the UK and #15 in the US, and from then on ABBA was the hit-after-hit machine.
"So long" I think is more aggressive than "Waterloo", and at the same time more fun (but don't have the magic of "Waterloo")
Agnetha and Frida do one of their most memorable choreographies
(Frida is a fantastic dancer)
And the live performance on the 1977 Australia Tour is spectacular, is the last song (before the encores)
"So long" is a very good song that unfortunately did not have commercial success

These is from a TV Special
"Made in Sweden for Export" (1976)
ABBA was one of the groups or artist, performing three songs from their self-titled album 'ABBA':
Mamma Mía, I do I do I do I do I do,
So long
in the B-side of this single was
"I've been waiting for you"
a beautiful ballad folk pop
there's a beautiful TV perfomance in Musikladen, Germany (1976), that You could react next
See you soon in another video
