Depened on how I feel at the time, Dancing queen when you are happy, the winner take if all and knowing you in others, I love our last summer but I will said that slipping to your fingers and I have a dream could be my favorites....
The one positive thing in this planet in the current situation is the comeback of ABBA...What a time for a comeback. So much positivity and soothing..God bless us all.
One of ABBA’s most beautiful songs. Typical of most ABBA’s songs, it has the intriguing melodic combination of joy with melancholy., happiness and sadness at the same time.
My daughter when she turned 17 this year requested Dancing Queen as her birthday party song. My mom at age 80 gets up to dance for Abba. Blessed legacy.
My parents did. My father specifically. We lost him last year. And every time I listen to ABBA, Queen, Eagles, BeeGees, and Beatles I feel like he is hugging me from heaven. I miss him. Music will forever remind me of him.
Not a Christmas song, but this song always reminds me of Christmas as a child in the 1970’s when my parents bought one of those huge unit/turntables and bought an Abba album with this song on it. Great memories & a great song. ❤
As a music producer I just have to point out the genius of the production and mixing. Normally with a track you mix the verse somewhat 'dry,' meaning less reverb and spaciousness, and when the chorus kicks in you add the reverb and make it sound big, because hey...it's the chorus. ABBA went the opposite direction here: spacious and open verse...and then an ultra-tight chorus: no reverb, no space...just a tight insular sound that gives me chills every time. I remember these days; ABBA were a punching bag at the time because of their fame and catchy songs. I am here to say four decades later we were very wrong. This is genius.
Completely agree. Their music has aged incredibly well. You're not the first person I've heard from the music industry who says their production/arrangement was pure genius.
Одрастао уз ABBA, невероватна група, невероватни људи. Хвала вам за прелепе ноте које ће нас увесељавати заувек! Када Вас чујем, проради носталгија за неким лепшим временима. Ви сте непоновљиви и бесмртни, још једном хвала за све! Thank you, very much!
@@clint5406 Sorry, but you simply cannot put ABBA in the same class as the Fab Four. ABBA did not influence any groups musically as the Beatles or for that matter Zeppelin did. The Beatleswere Pop as well as rock, they rule. I love ABBA, think they are awesome, but its just plain moronic to compare them, put them in the same league as the Fab Four, no one, not even the mighty Zeppelin comes close to the Beatles, and i'm a Zeppelin freak!
ABBA was comprised of some of the most talented performers, musicians, and writers in the business. This is my favorite song of theirs of all time - I have never gotten tired of it in over 43 years of listening to it.
Abba never made you feel that they didn’t actually feel what was on their faces when they sang. You never doubted their sincerity. They had the most positive energy of any band back then, or since.
@@spkanavaI would have been ten at the time and at junior school. The following year I moved from junior to senior school and got called Super Cooper!
The bridge section of Super Trouper is the best thing they ever wrote - amazingly subtle and so much in a few seconds of music. The moments of pure magic and the storytelling in every song is what puts ABBA in the category of genius.
Indeed, most bands could have based an entire career on that fabulous 15 seconds at 3:00, but ABBA just throw it at the end of the song. Yeah, I’d agree, one of the best things they ever wrote. Just a shame the rest of the song is nowhere near as good.
Even tho' this song was created way before I was born, It's one of my all time favorite songs. ABBA (Father in Hebrew) is a group that was ahead of their time, there is something so magical about them.
I loved ABBA as a child and love them even more as a forty something now, so do my kids.... Your music makes me so alive, happy and delirious with joy..... Thank you for the music....
I’m so thankful to my parents for showing me “ABBA” during my childhood. My parents are now in their 60s and have slight health issues. I’m listening to this song today at the airport after a week-long vacation with my parents and my two sisters, not knowing when is the next time we can all meet again :) sigh. Thank you dear Daddy and Mummy for introducing us to ABBA ❤️ tears :) EDIT: My father passed away a week ago (21st Jan 2024). During his last few days, we played all his favourite songs including the songs by ABBA. He wasn't very keen on eating during his last days, but listening to the songs he loved truly made him smile from within and gave him some sort of peace beyond human understanding.
У нас в школе наш учитель по ОБЖ каждую перемену включал песни ABBA в том числе и эту. Это было очень здорово и я благодаря нему открыла для себя эту группу
I was born in 1967 and remember when they burst into the scene in the mid 1970s. They were a breathe of fresh air and unique then and there has never been a group like them since. The perfect blend of catchy pop songs with great lyrics, melodies and the pure angelic voices of Agnetha and Frida. Pop perfection
You are therefore the same age as my brother Anthony, who is now 55. I am three years younger than you (ten at the time of this footage) and now aged 52!
@@angelacooper2661I'm 55 right now and my brother is three years younger. This was my favourite ABBA and it got a lot of spins in our house back in the day.
Dear ABBA, since i was 15 (in 1975) I have been a FAN. Like they say now, a guilty pleasure, NO not at all. No guiltiness, you are so sincere, honest and discrete. You deserve all appreciation. You helped me through the times with your music, happiness and sadness.
Am always going to be an ABBA Fan. And this is why. All their songs and harmonious lovely beautiful tunes speak to my inner soul and heart. They help me feel alive when I hear them. Am so glad they are back again. This world needs more of ABBA.
I'm 30 and growing up my mom put on ABBA every night for me to fall asleep to. I love that others are now finding the joy that is ABBA. One of the greatest.
One of the reasons why ABBA is such an impossibly-good band is they were so versatile. Out of any subject material they could make an excellent song. Heck, they could write a masterpiece just about walking down the street to get a coffee. They could make songs like these which just make you happy and radiate cuteness, or they could punch your heart repeatedly and make you cry. These four are legends.
@@iloveolderwomensobad perhaps I was sleepy, and chose his profile over an indian profile, perhaps he is lucky, perhaps I'm lucky to talk to more Brazilians here as a result
ABBA to me, epitomises everything that is fine, clean, bright n beautiful. There were no scandals, no drugs, no debauchery. They could have done anything as they were so dizzily popular. The music they created too is ethereal. I'm sure Mortzart would have been a fan of theirs if he lived during this time. What a fabulous group.
@@russover : Shane Embury is a member of Napalm Death, a heavy metal group. If he really said that about ABBA in an interview, then he is qualifying himself.
@@GeorgeKuenzliI don't know, I like both ABBA and Napalm Death. Though I've been listening to ABBA since I was about 12, and Napalm Death since I was 20.
+Eduardo Forneck Yeah, Abba is one of the rare instances where nearly their entire catalog is without a misstep or artistic divergence. So many good acts are only good for their 2-3 singles per album and the rest is insufferable. With Abba, it's the opposite, their biggest hit (Here in the States) Dancing Queen, is FAR from their best work, though still classic in its own right.
once i dreamed that the guys from abba were riding a bike near my house, then i looked at them and they sang the "supapa trupapa" part while moving their heads and waving at me. best dream i've ever had
Have heard this song a thousand times, just realised the double “analogy” Super Trouper is not only the name of the large stage lights, but also Frida is singing about being lonely, but still going onstage when she just wants to be with her lover, a real Super trouper, putting others needs before her own. Amazing Bjorn lyrics!.
It's such a beautiful song about a kind of existential depression and isolation. Imagine being in front of the world and being desperately lonely. Oddly, you can hear this clearly in the music.
could just as easily be Björn´s story. He had a girlfriend, who he married in jan.1980, after the divorce from Agnetha. Björn is still married to Lena, his 2nd wife.
Господа и дамы, малолетние сокамерники, морально готовимся снова услышать инструментал этого шедевра с пердящих колонок. Всем удачи выжить в новом учебном году🔥
I always loved this song, but never knew what "Super Trouper" actually meant. After I left school in 2006, I found a job at a local theater and worked as an assistant stagehand for almost a year. One day, my boss told me I had to operate the follow spot for an event the coming evening. He took me to the small booth behind the crowd, and showed me the huge black lamp. "There it is, our Super Trouper!" - Suddenly, it clicked. I finally realised what one of my favorite songs actually meant, after all these years. Fond memories!
It's the big damn light shining over them in the album cover, which, by the way, is a perfect album cover for their stature and the quality of the album's songs.
This takes me back to Xmas 1980. I was 9 years old. It was the best Xmas I have ever had as a child that year. I can remember all my presents. Started to go downhill that year as my parents split, I was homeless at 16 etc. But I bounced back quick in the years that followed. I even have my own big home now all paid for. But I will never forget that Xmas. Thanks Abba for the memories. Always brings tears for some reason...
Bizarre you should say about Xmas. When I started listening to this song I was thinking back to when I was 8 that year and just thinking about lying down on my back, looking up into our tree that year with one of my toys in hand! 👍
@@dianerathgeber9361 “In the Greek alphabet, X is the symbol for the letter 'chi. ' Chi (or X) is the first letter in the Greek word for Christ. In the early days of the Christian church, Christians used the letter X as a secret symbol to indicate their membership in the church to others.”
My brother got the Super Trouper cassette for Xmas. We were in South Africa Dec 1980 at the ocean on holiday and listened to it for the very first time in my dad's car on the cassette player. I was 12....will never forget it.
I was 18 back in 2001 when my father gave me collection of ABBA cd's and immediately fell in love with their songs...its october 2024 now....i am 41 now...father of a 4 year girl....and i introduced her to ABBA on TV....n she loves them.....thank u dad....thank u ABBA for the music....❤
The line "And I'll be there / when you arrive / the sight of you / will prove to me that I'm alive" is one of the most iconic sond bridges of all times, and for me personally surely the best. First the happy chorus, then the bridge start off all sentimental again and slowly progresses to a hopeful ending again... it just encapsulates the longing and anticipation of the whole song so so well. I get goosebumps every time I hear that line... still, after many many years of listening.
49th anniversary today of Abba winning Eurovision. They're still as enduring, popular, fantastic as ever and immortalised at the Abba Arena with Voyage ❤
I'm from Glasgow and this song is quite popular at weddings and party's. I remember attending a few and every-time the line "I was sick and tired of everything, when i called you last night from Glasgow" came on the DJ would pause the Glasgow part and you'd hear a load of drunk Glaswegians shouting GLASGOW at the top of there voices, it always made me laugh
That’s the most Glasgow story I can think of. I spent four years there at uni, and you just can’t match the character that city and it’s people have. I miss it, now that I’m in England.
@@marloesvdwetering8069 Sorry to be "that guy" but a quick google search reveals that it is Glasgow that Frida sings as it was suggested by someone who knew the band and worked with there UK Publishers. Its 100% Glasgow.
@@marloesvdwetering8069 It's 100% Glasgow. It is written on the lyric sheet of my Super Trouper vinyl, I don't think they printed a lyric sheet with wrong lyrics 😁.
It’s not underrated. It’s always been considered an absolute classic, and one of the best pop songs of all time. What makes you think it’s “underrated”?? Do you know what the word “underrated” means?
Absolutely zero underrated. One of ABBA's finest compositions and productions. It's just hip to shout 'underrated' for the local crew. and makes no sense whatsoever
Abba's music, both the infectious music and singable lyrics were always so clever. Their master of the pop hook and the accompanying clever lycis is simply astounding. They are unmatched in the pop world.
I completely agree with you respecting the comments on ABBA, but your comment about a double mastectomy is really disgusting, you are a grown up guy, Dont u think that talking that way shows that you r really a little child? U have to be more sensible man.
I can`t explain how this music and Benny Andersson face makes me so happy. It's so satisfying that I think this music and video can lift me out of any sadness.
I sing this song at karaoke and love it. Its a little bit hard but what a song . Loved Abba back in the 70s and this song one of the best .Produced by Michael Tretow who did the album.
Benny and Bjorn are world class songwriters and musicians . Starting with ABBA their music simply evolved beyond belief and complexity. One night in Bangkok is the perfect example, on how superb they became as songwriters and musicians
I lived thru ABBA during their first appearances. Hearing their music after all these years still lifts me out of any depression I might be in. And I have almost all of the albums they ever put out.
Proud mom moment: my 20 yr old son was watching an ad that had the opening bars of this song (no vocals). Then he skipped the rest of the ad...I said "aw man, that's an awesome ABBA song, but idk which one" and he starts singing "lights are gonna find me, shining like the sun, smiling having fun" and of course I immediately said "Super Trouper!" 😍🤗 Another generation appreciates ABBA... makes my heart happy! ❤
all abba's songs makes me cry inside.. reminds me of our mom (her favorite band and artists), and reminds me of the old times, when we're still young and innocent to the world.. 😢
ABBA has something that still nowadays I can't understand .. it's magic but at the same time is sad because it reminds me to days which will never come back :(
Dear Adriana, someone once told me, there is no future in the past.I have thought on this saying alot these days now that I am 60yrs old. be happy in these days and remember not to take life for granted.
My favourite ABBA song. And yeh, I'm 37, Male, straight and have an amazing fianceé. ABBA wrote some of the best songs in the history of music. Pure talent. Beats the crap out of the shit being produced in 2020. Good pop music left us for good in 2007 or so. Done.
You should use a mash-up of "The Wedding March" [Felix Mendelssohn] & "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" [ABBA]. I played that on the organ for 2 friends who got married & they danced down the aisle after kissing! It was so much fun!
dude u get it right,when i listen to Abba music i feel like crying while am enjoying d music oo,na they remember us wt story of young,old and there after
I'm so self conscious enjoying music around other people, because the best music makes me cry. The happiest I ever feel and I can't help express it without tears.

How lucky I am to have been born after this band already existed and to be able to listen to their wonderful music. I started listening to them this year and I'm completely in love. This week all I could think about was abba.
Frida performance is magnificent in ST; and Agnetha's voice harmonizes perfectly. I realized how talented Frida is when I watched this; she is in a band with arguable the most talented female singer in the 20th century
I heard one of the members (I think it was Benny) saying that they worked a lot on the recordings by dubbing the sounds and expanding them. Both guys are sound engineers. They wanted the sounds to be pretty rich and luxurious and to have a recognisable pattern. So it is artifice at its best.
I just can't stop loving this song! I listen to it almost every single day. It is simply perfect!!!! Frida's voice with those backing vocals behind are something magic.
I was a huge fan of ABBA since I was in the age of 9. I bought this record 1 year after it was released. It was a 45 rpm vinyl record. At that time my older brother said.. " He definitely will be a dj when he grows up". He was absolutely right.
I don't think it's possible to listen only one ABBA song, once you start you can't stop

thats a foolish claim...ridiculous
Beatles. Beach Boys. Lots of groups are as or more talented. But ABBA is top 10.
TRUE!!

ABBA- What every country needs at this time. Healing, positivity, rejoicing!
Kathy, your short comment contains so much. It gave me such a boost in a positive way. Thank you!
Amen
Exactly
Very trueee
We're so glad they're back and we're all cry in happiness.

I'm 30 and growing up my mom put on ABBA every night for me to fall asleep to. I love that others are now finding the joy that is ABBA. One of the greatest.
love them still too yet..
One of the reasons why ABBA is such an impossibly-good band is they were so versatile. Out of any subject material they could make an excellent song. Heck, they could write a masterpiece just about walking down the street to get a coffee. They could make songs like these which just make you happy and radiate cuteness, or they could punch your heart repeatedly and make you cry.
These four are legends.
This song is 41 years old, and here we are, listening this masterpiece

A great band to listen to when growing up. Thank you for the music!!!
ABBA to me, epitomises everything that is fine, clean, bright n beautiful. There were no scandals, no drugs, no debauchery. They could have done anything as they were so dizzily popular. The music they created too is ethereal. I'm sure Mortzart would have been a fan of theirs if he lived during this time. What a fabulous group.
Who isn't obssesed with Abba anyways?
Timeless talent.
Me especially Waterloo
Im doing a ABBA marathon 😆. I do once a while 🤘.
Shane Embury (from Napalm Dead) hates ABBA (so he says in an interview). 😊
@@russover : Shane Embury is a member of Napalm Death, a heavy metal group. If he really said that about ABBA in an interview, then he is qualifying himself.
@@GeorgeKuenzliI don't know, I like both ABBA and Napalm Death. Though I've been listening to ABBA since I was about 12, and Napalm Death since I was 20.
almost every single song abba has recorded became a success
+Eduardo Forneck Yeah, Abba is one of the rare instances where nearly their entire catalog is without a misstep or artistic divergence. So many good acts are only good for their 2-3 singles per album and the rest is insufferable. With Abba, it's the opposite, their biggest hit (Here in the States) Dancing Queen, is FAR from their best work, though still classic in its own right.
+Christopher Johnson dancing queen is the best!!!! (uk)
+Eduardo Forneck This was no.1 when i was born, yep definitely sounds about right lol
+james hartley Dancing Queen is my signature song at a karaoke bar I go to.
+Eduardo Forneck Almost yeah...this one isn't one of them :-)
Makes me remember dad chasing me and my sisters round the house, my dad’s infamous laugh. I miss you dad xxx 💙
once i dreamed that the guys from abba were riding a bike near my house, then i looked at them and they sang the "supapa trupapa" part while moving their heads and waving at me. best dream i've ever had
Genia!
That guy was me...
One of them was me...
@@hotmanpasaribu665 nope...
Beautiful dream!!!! I dream of taking Agnetha for a walk !!!
Have heard this song a thousand times, just realised the double “analogy” Super Trouper is not only the name of the large stage lights, but also Frida is singing about being lonely, but still going onstage when she just wants to be with her lover, a real Super trouper, putting others needs before her own. Amazing Bjorn lyrics!.
It's such a beautiful song about a kind of existential depression and isolation. Imagine being in front of the world and being desperately lonely. Oddly, you can hear this clearly in the music.
jomamas and somehow totally relate to it, the magic of ABBA ;)
It is the story of Agnetha
And Beethoven was deaf... Sometimes it takes suffering to be great.
could just as easily be Björn´s story. He had a girlfriend, who he married in jan.1980, after the divorce from Agnetha. Björn is still married to Lena, his 2nd wife.
Their music brings life

I always loved this song, but never knew what "Super Trouper" actually meant. After I left school in 2006, I found a job at a local theater and worked as an assistant stagehand for almost a year. One day, my boss told me I had to operate the follow spot for an event the coming evening. He took me to the small booth behind the crowd, and showed me the huge black lamp. "There it is, our Super Trouper!" - Suddenly, it clicked. I finally realised what one of my favorite songs actually meant, after all these years. Fond memories!
That is why the video starts with the lightning guy blinding us
Wow, thank you, now I know!
Yes thank you so much. I didn’t know what it meant either. It shows you don’t have to understand everything but can still recognise genius.
@@wjrs5 Yeah, my native language is german and as a kid/teen, I didn't understand english well enough to fully comprehend what the lyrics meant, haha!
It's the big damn light shining over them in the album cover, which, by the way, is a perfect album cover for their stature and the quality of the album's songs.
Perfect voices, amazingly beautiful girls, full of harmony, best couple, gorgeous music, absolutely class.❤
Timeless... Every generation loves ABBA... Still as fresh today as they were in the 70s... Brilliant band ❤
Anni Frid doesn’t get enough love. What a gem of a voice 💖
She’s my favorite member of the group. I love her solo hit, “I Know There’s Something Going On”, which Phil Collins produced
I love her
@@abinashmishra329 With Collins signature gated reverb drums sounding huge
TBH I thought it was Anna..This was one of there biggest hits so that’s good
Anni-Frid certainly is a great singer. May personal favorite, however, is Agnetha Fältskog.
This takes me back to Xmas 1980. I was 9 years old. It was the best Xmas I have ever had as a child that year. I can remember all my presents.
Started to go downhill that year as my parents split, I was homeless at 16 etc.
But I bounced back quick in the years that followed. I even have my own big home now all paid for.
But I will never forget that Xmas.
Thanks Abba for the memories.
Always brings tears for some reason...
Bizarre you should say about Xmas. When I started listening to this song I was thinking back to when I was 8 that year and just thinking about lying down on my back, looking up into our tree that year with one of my toys in hand!
👍
Same... I was 10 and so happy. Fast forward a few years and parents split up, etc etc. I think maybe that was my last truly happy Christmas.
It’s CHRISTmas. Keep Christ in Christmas. Thank Him for your success.
@@dianerathgeber9361 “In the Greek alphabet, X is the symbol for the letter 'chi. ' Chi (or X) is the first letter in the Greek word for Christ. In the early days of the Christian church, Christians used the letter X as a secret symbol to indicate their membership in the church to others.”
My brother got the Super Trouper cassette for Xmas. We were in South Africa Dec 1980 at the ocean on holiday and listened to it for the very first time in my dad's car on the cassette player. I was 12....will never forget it.
I was 18 back in 2001 when my father gave me collection of ABBA cd's and immediately fell in love with their songs...its october 2024 now....i am 41 now...father of a 4 year girl....and i introduced her to ABBA on TV....n she loves them.....thank u dad....thank u ABBA for the music....❤
The line "And I'll be there / when you arrive / the sight of you / will prove to me that I'm alive" is one of the most iconic sond bridges of all times, and for me personally surely the best. First the happy chorus, then the bridge start off all sentimental again and slowly progresses to a hopeful ending again... it just encapsulates the longing and anticipation of the whole song so so well.
I get goosebumps every time I hear that line... still, after many many years of listening.
Benny and bjorn were brilliant song writers, on the same level as Lennon/McCartney. Maybe better....
Fun Fact: Super Troupers were what the big spotlights used at concerts were called. It helps put the song and video in perspective.
Kevin Conners thanks !! Always wondered
That's cool
헐
It kinda is obvious from the lyrics isn't it
Embalos de sábado a noite, John Travolta... (ainda bem que ele nao virou pastor...)
49th anniversary today of Abba winning Eurovision. They're still as enduring, popular, fantastic as ever and immortalised at the Abba Arena with Voyage ❤
I would have been not yet four and Play School age when Abba won Eurovision (now just turned 53!)
Their smiles just bring positive energy
The beginning of this is what you hear when you enter heaven
It better be what I hear
Maria Rybakov are you a Harry Potter fan?
anindita kanjilal heck yeah boi
Ramboghini Balboni are you like ok or what
I’m not religious either if that’s your problem it’s a figure of speech
The voices --- yes. The words --- no, not for heaven.
I'm from Glasgow and this song is quite popular at weddings and party's. I remember attending a few and every-time the line "I was sick and tired of everything, when i called you last night from Glasgow" came on the DJ would pause the Glasgow part and you'd hear a load of drunk Glaswegians shouting GLASGOW at the top of there voices, it always made me laugh
That’s the most Glasgow story I can think of. I spent four years there at uni, and you just can’t match the character that city and it’s people have.
I miss it, now that I’m in England.
@@marloesvdwetering8069 Sorry to be "that guy" but a quick google search reveals that it is Glasgow that Frida sings as it was suggested by someone who knew the band and worked with there UK Publishers. Its 100% Glasgow.
@@darrenmcgown1939: Everyone and his dog knows she called him last night from Tesco...
@@marloesvdwetering8069 It's 100% Glasgow. It is written on the lyric sheet of my Super Trouper vinyl, I don't think they printed a lyric sheet with wrong lyrics 😁.
@@marloesvdwetering8069 Well, there are way worse misheard lyrics than this. 😉
Probably one of Abba's most underrated songs - an absolute classic!
my 9 year old sings it on the top of her lungs
@@oljavas9050 ofc she does! It's an awesome song
Underrated ? How is it underrated ?
It’s not underrated. It’s always been considered an absolute classic, and one of the best pop songs of all time.
What makes you think it’s “underrated”??
Do you know what the word “underrated” means?
Absolutely zero underrated. One of ABBA's finest compositions and productions. It's just hip to shout 'underrated' for the local crew. and makes no sense whatsoever
Tonight the Super Trouper
lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling having fun
Filing like the number one... ❤
I will allways like ABBA
Angelic voices, perfect harmony. ABBA is and will always be the best. ❤️
WOW FRIDA'S VOICE SOUND SO ANGELICAL ! WHAT A TALENT !
Abba's music, both the infectious music and singable lyrics were always so clever. Their master of the pop hook and the accompanying clever lycis is simply astounding. They are unmatched in the pop world.
I completely agree with you respecting the comments on ABBA, but your comment about a double mastectomy is really disgusting, you are a grown up guy, Dont u think that talking that way shows that you r really a little child? U have to be more sensible man.
+Christopher Johnson Now I am completely agree with you.
Merry Christmas
Halleluja!

I can`t explain how this music and Benny Andersson face makes me so happy. It's so satisfying that I think this music and video can lift me out of any sadness.
Nearly 2023 and still here. This song is absolutely timeless, my favorite ABBA song by far.
Me too
I sing this song at karaoke and love it. Its a little bit hard but what a song . Loved Abba back in the 70s and this song one of the best .Produced by Michael Tretow who did the album.
Here here
It’s so hard to have a favorite ABBA song 😅
It thought it was 2022 and A-Teens are better. Just saying. Abba is soo yesterday.
1:28 this guy looks really happy when he sings it, and it makes me happy.
😂
Me too
He wrote this song.
Benny Andersson! I agree, seeing him sing so happily, even for a few seconds, makes me happy too
I always liked how Benny and Bjorn sang along in their music videos
Benny and Bjorn are world class songwriters and musicians . Starting with ABBA their music simply evolved beyond belief and complexity. One night in Bangkok is the perfect example, on how superb they became as songwriters and musicians
Bangkok, baby! The whole chess album is a masterpiece!
One night in Bangkok is one of my all time fav songs had no idea these two helped write it
@@therampage5555 straight up...bitching tune. Murray's head nailed it.
I lived thru ABBA during their first appearances. Hearing their music after all these years still lifts me out of any depression I might be in. And I have almost all of the albums they ever put out.
This is their best album. I can't listen to it without crying, and especially this song. Go Frida! Go ABBA!
All Abba songs are the best
Fenomenal!! Simples assim!! Melhor Grupo musical que ouvi até hj!!! sou fã desde sempre!!!
Proud mom moment: my 20 yr old son was watching an ad that had the opening bars of this song (no vocals). Then he skipped the rest of the ad...I said "aw man, that's an awesome ABBA song, but idk which one" and he starts singing "lights are gonna find me, shining like the sun, smiling having fun" and of course I immediately said "Super Trouper!" 😍🤗 Another generation appreciates ABBA... makes my heart happy! ❤
Even I just 19 years old I can't stop listening Abba songs .They are old but gold. Even all of after these years I can't escape from Abba songs
all abba's songs makes me cry inside.. reminds me of our mom (her favorite band and artists), and reminds me of the old times, when we're still young and innocent to the world.. 😢
Better times with better people. Now Sweden has rapes in the streets by the foreign invaders. All innocence is gone.
ABBA is basically a huge part of the soundtrack to my childhood. I think we had almost every album on vinyl when when I grew up.
Same here 🙂❤
Mine too, thou I went Stones and hardrock, reaggey, punk then blues ... ;)
Whenever it’s Christmas and I wanna listen to ABBA, I listen to this song. 🎄💫☕️
Para todos hay un antes y un después de ABBA. Toda vez que escuchas la primera canción, nunca más podrás parar. Es la perfección hecha música.
La historia del mundo se divide en el antes y en el después de ABBA
Eso es cierto! Eso me ocurrió a mi
Absolutamente verdad y muy cierto .
Es real , hay un antes y un después de ABBA en la música pop mundial .
Concordo plenamente.
ABBA has something that still nowadays I can't understand .. it's magic but at the same time is sad because it reminds me to days which will never come back :(
What more can be said after reading your words?
adriana ponzio Sort of bittersweet in a way.
I can’t agree more
adriana ponzio There's something haunting about their music
Dear Adriana, someone once told me, there is no future in the past.I have thought on this saying alot these days now that I am 60yrs old. be happy in these days and remember not to take life for granted.
Saw them in Milwaukee in the early eighties. Had a backstage pass and met them.They were some of the most down to earth people I have ever met.
I Saw The Bangles in Concert Once at Milwaukee's Summerfest on The Shores of Lake Michigan, in 1991
Faz parte da minha vida até hoje, desde a minha adolescência! Eterno ABBA!
Goodness why old songs are so beautiful...?
Some are, some aren't.
Time filters non-magical ones out
Because that’s real talent. Not computers and frail. They were not manager-made artists. They are ABBA.
My favourite ABBA song. And yeh, I'm 37, Male, straight and have an amazing fianceé. ABBA wrote some of the best songs in the history of music. Pure talent. Beats the crap out of the shit being produced in 2020. Good pop music left us for good in 2007 or so. Done.
I prefer Sinatra, but ABBA has some game.
@@chrisml8105 True Sinatra was just 🔥
@@adimocerokobuli3093 that Era was amazing. Nat King Cole, Sinatra, Dean Martin... just awesome.
Stay healthy buddy
Wat you dont prefer Cardi B and WAP? : D (Totally kidding in case that didnt come through)
You should use a mash-up of "The Wedding March" [Felix Mendelssohn] & "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" [ABBA]. I played that on the organ for 2 friends who got married & they danced down the aisle after kissing! It was so much fun!
ABBA is the only group that can make me cry even when their songs are happy
Their songs are mostly sad
theres a strong sense of bittersweetness to many ABBA songs. I can't explain it exactly.
Dancing Queen is about aging and death. Only a European band can weave in the sadness/melancholy in a seemingly happy song the way they do
dude u get it right,when i listen to Abba music i feel like crying while am enjoying d music oo,na they remember us wt story of young,old and there after
I'm so self conscious enjoying music around other people, because the best music makes me cry. The happiest I ever feel and I can't help express it without tears.
How lucky I am to have been born after this band already existed and to be able to listen to their wonderful music. I started listening to them this year and I'm completely in love. This week all I could think about was abba.
WHY every single song of ABBA makes me feel that is Christmas Time everyday all the time I lisent to ?
Same. This year I'm not even listening to real Christmas songs, ABBA on a loop
@@angelika1g6a Absolutely Paul !
@@TarotTAROTINA 😁
because it,s timeless music
noo
Frida performance is magnificent in ST; and Agnetha's voice harmonizes perfectly. I realized how talented Frida is when I watched this; she is in a band with arguable the most talented female singer in the 20th century
Welcome to the future, where everyone wants to live in the past
No truer words....
You are absolutely right, most of the comments on UA-cam are very nostalgic for the past, memories and better times ...

Best comment ever!

So simple ,. 2 girls 2 guys, piano and guitar = Absolute Perfection. the real deal
yes --- it's perfection; but it's not simple; it's the brilliance of Anni-Frid & Agnetha, the best female vocal duo ever
@@victorhaltom1448 Nah it's way more than that. Producers, other band members (drummer, bassist, etc.), and so on
Perfect but not simple, you can hear a real orquestra behind it
I heard one of the members (I think it was Benny) saying that they worked a lot on the recordings by dubbing the sounds and expanding them. Both guys are sound engineers. They wanted the sounds to be pretty rich and luxurious and to have a recognisable pattern. So it is artifice at its best.
That sounds like the start of a good foursome if you ask me
I just can't stop loving this song! I listen to it almost every single day. It is simply perfect!!!! Frida's voice with those backing vocals behind are something magic.
Great voices, harmonizing which doesn't happen much in pop music these days. Always a pleasure to listen to and uplifting
It's 19th December 2024, Let's See How Many Legends Love Listening To This Beautiful And Iconic And Awesome And Timeless Masterpiece.
Me
I was a huge fan of ABBA since I was in the age of 9. I bought this record 1 year after it was released. It was a 45 rpm vinyl record. At that time my older brother said.. " He definitely will be a dj when he grows up". He was absolutely right.
Angels singing. Timeless and magical. I always loved ABBA. The Planet needs their return in whatever form it takes!
Galactic Warrior Did you know that ABBA for the first time in over 30 years will release two new songs.
