Frida goes wild!!!!
The Dancing Queen ! 😍😍
The 70s were crazy and fun times, people wore sexy clothes (or nothing) and sang sexy things.
Yes, Frida's legs were awesome....
I've always loved this song because it makes me want to dance and it makes me happy.
This was a hit in my country and I remember listening to it on the radio at home.
Thank you, David.
This really is a banger! :D Thanks Carlos!
This set of outfits is one more of the most famous ABBA iconic and glorious costumes that are all exposed in the Abba Museum in Stockholm along with many other original memorablia,studio equipement,intruments they've used from clips,touring or recording that many Abba fans know and still recall.It's history.
These cat outfits were designed by Frida and Uwe. Hwe was ABBA costume maker. Before UWE was hired Frida spearheaded ABBA's costume designs.
@@danbike9 UWE was funny,kind and talented.And Frida had such a fine taste and was a real fox!
I'm 59, I've loved Abba since I was 12.. I know this song VERY VERY well it's awesome
Actually, viewed objectively, it's a short wonderful section, then repeated several times. But who's viewing it objectively (especially in this video with Frida sending herself up something rotten)! It's such a cheerful, uplifting song. (I'm 64.)
ABBA has it all. The best in fun and sad songs (and everything in between!)
LOL!Hide your eyes from those legs dear....you gotta protect your innocence.
Thumbnail is perfect.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Enjoyed your reaction. It’s just hard to get your head around the fact that this is about 50 years old!!!! It’s unbelievable.
Look forward to the next review as ever. Don’t leave it so long please 🙏
Yeah its insane that time flies by so fast 😢
The cat dresses! Iconic. You can buy them at the ABBA museum in Stockholm. There are also regular t-shirt versions if short silk dresses aren't your thing 😁
As you've said it.Iconic ,we all know don't we.I also love the Japan silky outfits the Wembley Arena '79/'77 tour/ uniforms not to mention the fantastic ABBA VOYAGE London gig's outfits Dolce Cabbana/TRON and all the rest ones on which one was also inspired by ancient Greek fashion.Pure art and eyebliss.Cheers.
These specific dresses are at the ABBA museum? Hold my beer, I need to catch the flight 🤣🤣🤣
@@GivenToe The dresses themselves are on display, but you can by copies in the museum shop to wear!
Another ABBA reaction dropped another traffic jam in the comment section.We are all here again.I always love this connection.
Yeah hahah, they tend to do that XD I finally caught up with your comment, sorry about the delay lol 😂😂😂 I really love this too, it is family right here
I love this whole video, they arrive in a shipping crate that states made in Sweden.
Tack GivenToe!
I am surprised you have not heard So Long before. It is one of my favorite ABBA songs. Their voices are so good in this song. Those outfits are so famous too! They were singing to a studio recording playback.
Also one of my favorites I have it on full blast singing along with it
Yes,this song is amazing,with the high tempo & our "Zoo/ expert on snakes-man" was the wardrobe guy.
@@belindaward3960 wow, it is a difficult song. Great that you can sing along, I sure can't :)
Never heard of it, which is a bit weird yes, because this was a real banger!
@@GivenToe That _is_ a little surprising - maybe you're even younger than I thought; certainly when this came out, almost every ABBA track received huge playtime, including this one.
This is another great and underrated song.... but without a doubt, Frida❤️ steals the performance completely. 😍😍😍
Nice to see u, David.... Take care...
Great and funny react again👌
❤️🇨🇱🤗👍
It defenately must be underrated, cause I never heard of it and it was great! Yeah she totally does hahah XD Looking good! Nice to hear from you Alejandro! And thank you! =)
I'm glad someone else calls them "shirts" rather than dresses! They do several other tracks in those cat dresses (there is a floor-length version as well). But this - and this "made in Sweden" version in particular - was the most, shall we say, uplifting! I think Frida (the dark-haired one) was sending herself up somewhat; she's a trained dancer, as well as singer. As for whether people wore such in the '70s - well, the time of the miniskirt was actually the late '60s, a little before your time I think (and mine, though I was alive then). But I'm not sure how many people actually wore them - though look at Lulu, Cilla, Sandie Shaw, and many others - even the Queen!, at the solemn investiture of Prince Charles (1969), wore something above the knee.
As for the song: as you say, rock 'n' roll - actually somewhat repetitive, but definitely uplifting. They didn't do a _lot_ of rock - I'd say the best examples are (the live at Wembley versions of) Does Your Mother Know (which actually is very moral if you listen to the lyrics!) seguing into Hole in Your Soul; anyone who says ABBA don't do rock should watch the end of that. But it _is_ the exception: watch - and listen to - the rest of their repertoire; they have a pretty wide range of material. The early years are mostly thumpentinkle: very nice tuneful verses, interspersed with a thumping (but also tuneful) chorus: Fernando, Thank You For The Music, and (most typical of the type) Chiquitita. But they have many other styles - gentle ballads, even slight reggae, standard pop - even some smoking instrumentals (Intermezzo no. 1, Arrival). And most of them are now on UA-cam in video, with the two beautiful women. (I guess the guys are good-looking too.)
Frida (Anna-Frid) has an interesting life story, too. (NOT a Lebensborn baby, but … oh, just read.)
In my top 5 Abba songs PHENOMENAL
They wore these ‘clothes’ in several videos. Some this way and others with the rest of the skirt. Such a good song. Love your entire reaction. Great to see this afternoon. Thanks for great song and reaction.
Thank YOU James 🙏🏻😊
This song is fantastic. You’d have to be brain dead to not like it. I’ve heard this thousands of times and never get tired of it.
I'm 71 and loved them from the 1970's
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.
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 before
See you soon in another video
A cordial greeting from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
South America
How Fridas husband Benny ,playing the piano, could concentrate is amazing lol
It really is 🤣🤣🤣
Hate to spoil it, but I'm pretty certain they were using a playback track. Frida certainly enjoyed herself though!
If you think Benny had a hard time of it … ua-cam.com/video/jNmUol6sRJY/v-deo.html
@@G6JPG ha ha yes I have seen that clip before. Frida defiantly has a wild side lol. even kissing the guitarist hand.
Yeah Happy song from Abba, they can certainly Rock , good dance moves for back then, Abba will always be Legends & happy memories from their music🎶 thanks David, enjoy your Weekend🙏💙🤘
Thank you Alanna! Have a great week! =)
Abba's songs were amazing & to me they ruled the 1970's & The Beatles ruled the 1960's. They are my 2 fav bands with real music & unique sounds, can't top it.🎶
This is from a tv special called Made in Sweden for export. It features Abba, Björn Skifs, Sylvia Wrethammar among others. I hav seen Björn Skifs singing "Michelangelo".
I was six years old and I didnt have to go to bed and I was allowed to see this on tv.
a separate comment, dear GivenToe
actually the ABBA album of the same name ends here in its original edition
The other two tracks you are referring to are bonus tracks.
1) "Crazy world" (which was later the B-side of the single "Money money money" from the following album "Arrival")
2) a medley of 3 songs that ABBA covered for charity in Germany I think
(and later it will be B-side of the single "Summer night city" in 1978)
Yeas that is correct. I will do the bonus tracks too ;)
😂🤣😆 David, your face!! Frida always makes me smile. Her enthusiasm is something else! Two stunning women with natural bueaty inside and out. Compared to todays' music videos with twerking and suggestive moves, this is tame. But, l totally understand your surprise..Frida was more extroverted than Agnetha, but their personalities were vibrant together.
So long, see you Toe,
Until your next groovy show.. You know l cannot wait..So long, so long, so long. 😁
🤗🦋❤ Eh..was worth a try! 🤔😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😍 Well whaddaya gonna do 🤷♂️ They look friggin amazing! Heheh nice rhymes there at the end, I like that Eleonora ❤😂 Take care! Ciao bella!
3:29/3:57 Ha1haaaa!Ok that was smokey Hot indeed.Possibly the sexiest they 've ever done.Lyrics are also quite feminime for its time(1975)btw.
I absolutely love this so much energy and highlights abbas versatility with different genres, but always still the abba magic. Thanks for your brilliant reaction once again. This was quite raunchy for abba standards 😅
Thanks Michael! =) hehe yeah XD
ABBAMAN... So glad to see another Abba reaction I think by now in your Abba journey you are realizing how great this band is becoming. After this album you have five more to go and you will see their progression and their signature Abba sound appear. Fasten your seatbelts and hang on for the time of your life ❤️
Hey Gene! Happy you enjoyed it! =) Yeah it's very interesting hearing how it all evolves! Gonna be a fun ride!
Always a great song to put on the jukebox in the pub. Your eyes on matchstick reaction is brilliant lol.
I bet it is! I bet everyone stops what they do, simply to listen! So awesome! And thanks Steve 🤣🤣
You think you're gonna make me softer with your fancy car
But I can tell you all your tricks ain't gonna get you far
They say that money's got a magic touch
But not to me, it doesn't mean that much
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
Tracy, Daisy, they may be crazy
But I'll never be your girl
So long, see you honey
You can't buy me with your money
You know it's not worth trying
So long, so long, so long
You didn't have to send me flowers like you did today
I wouldn't keep a thing from you, I gave them all away
The girls might fall for everything you've got
But I'm not one of them, you know I'm not
You won't have me tonight
All right, all right, all right, all right
So long, see you honey...........
Such a tough girl!But so justified!lol!
Oh I was excited to see this thumbnail...your graphics and facial expressions were great. Frida getting right into the groove. Such a great song as well, love it.
😅😅😅 Yeah this really was great!
That was so funny , thanks for a brilliant reaction, wow made me laugh, it's a great happy song always one of my favourite, abba can do no wrong x
Thank you Andrew! I really like this one!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICALLY FUNNNY!!! 😂😂😂
IVE ALWAYS HAD A SOFT SPOT FOR 'So Long'...
It takes me back to the late 80's/early 90's...
Rosebank,, Johannesburg Gay club 4am Sunday morning.. Half dead.. Stoned. Plastered or both,,
The DJ always played So Long...
Believe me... The club pumped till 10 pm... Amazing.
Your facual expressions are priceless 🤣😂
Frida was such a Minx.
Thanks for the memories.
❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Hahah thanks 🤣 I believe you! Thank you for watching! =)
I was also pleasantly surprised when I discovered this song this year :-) It is odd that there are still some relatively obscure A-grade Abba songs despite the band's revival that's been going on So Long now.
You are showing how young you are. Those outfit types were very common in the 70's usually referred to as a Go-Go costume.
Yeah I guess i am 🤣
😍In the immortal words of ZZ Top..............."She's Got Legs".............(a.k.a. Frida).
And she knows how to use them! Lol
@@Vikinggirl1679 👊😎Yes she does❗
Frida was such a great athlete, that when they let her loose, she could dance better than anyone. She was so beautiful, and so captivating!!!
Now, we finally know who has invented the 1,5 speed.
This is one of our favorite songs that me and my cousin mimed to 😀 And forced her brothers to be Björn and Benny 😂 So many memories ❤
Thank you for this one David 🙏
Hahahahah that sounds like fun 🤣🤣🤣🙏🏻❤️
ABBA time! 🎶 And my boy is STEAMING ♨ Isn't this a great song? I've always loved it. Thanks for finding this video version, too. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Yeah, is it hot in here? XD XD XD Yeah it's a great tune for sure! Thanks Michael! You too!
@@GivenToe Yup. Was definitely hot in there, GT 😅
Thanks for the reaction, as always!
Hello again Mylord
This is my third giventoe video today😊 After listening to Tommy and Dan , my ears had to adept to Abba first😂😂. I love Abbba's energy on stage. Unfortunately I was to young when they toured so I never saw them live. Only on TV Abba was the only music my parents and I agreed on😂😂. Everytime you do an Abba reaction you take my back to my childhood and I love it so thank you for that❤
Well hello the milady! Yeah it's a bit different from Dan and Tommy XD Yeah this was very cool! I liked the energy! I am very happy that I could do that! Take care now!
Hey David
Quirky and such a refreshing song ❤ These costumes are Iconic and contemporary there consistently majestic and synonymous with ABBA
Yeah I really liked this one!
This is awesome , I have always loved this song-such energy - a great rock tune. Frida and Agnetha give it their all! Thanks for the reaction.
Thanks for watching! :D
Yes, they are both very pretty, although Agnetha is always my favorite, now if you thought this was one of their sexiest versions, you should react to their live performance of the song Waterloo in Norway 1975, they both come out very pretty, especially Agnetha in that one. presentation, there is no doubt that ABBA's best outfit is the cat dresses.
I watched that performance and yes, Agnetha seems much more animated and looser in that performance. One thing I’ve noticed about Agnetha onstage is that for the first have of ABBA’s career she always had her legs closed on stage as if her things were glued together….almost paralleling the time line of her relationship with Bjorn but when Does Your Mother Know comes out everytime you see her on stage she’s spreading her legs open….squatting….just different type of body language. Check it out. I’m surprised others haven’t picked up on it
Yes i do prefer those even 'slightly non-synchronized' dance moves in the end (cause they are so naive and adorable ) than the ones other acts did/do the following decades that some seem like an army of 'marrionetically' synchronized monkeys jumping up n down wiggling their silicon 'stuff' here and there.Uhh!
Agnetha and Frida was like putting fresh.pure 'cream in my coffee" as you had said it.eh?
Yeah this was a lot better than many of todays so called "music videos". I agree! =)
Yep great song, upbeat and awesome ❤️❤️🤩🤩
Great you like ABBA. For me they are number 1. Still hold today. 😊
:D
Ha ha! En av de låtar jag upptäckt på senare år pga att folk gjort reactionsvideos till den låten. Härligt att se Agnetha och Frida ha så roligt på scen och även jag hajade till över de vackra benen :) Gillar låten även om den inte är på topp 25 med ABBA. Bra drag i låten!
Tack för glad överraskning med reaction denna lördagskväll. Glöm inte att kika på när Laleh sjunger Against all odds i På Spåret med Benny Anderssons orkester. Magi!
Vad gäller Agnethas nya album med de gamla låtarna från soloalbumet så lyssnar jag inte på dessa då jag kände besvikelse över I should have followed you home. Autotune eller vad de nu gjort behövs inte på hennes magiska röst och det gjorde låten enbart sämre kände jag.
Bra drag indeed! Jag har inte lyssnat på A+ mer än ”Where do we fo from here?” Men ja har också hört att det är för mycket auto tune. 🤷🏼♂️😅
A wonderful and powerful song! Sung from two wonderful pretty singers with endlessly long legs. What a great video!
Indeed Guenther! 😁😁😁
One of their best songs. Really good. Thank you for the reaction.
Haha.. GivenToe style =) .... a classic Abba song and Yes they,re hot in this one!
It's funny that there tends to be a puritanical view of times gone past compared to the modern age. The mini skirt was introduced in the 1960's and hotpants in the early 70's. I think there were about three different variations of those cat dresses. This was the earliest and had no names on the back. It was also very short. They later had their names put on the back and a slightly lower hemline. And of course, there was the 'tear off' long variation (See 'ABBA- Waterloo in Australia 1976').
This song is an intention retread of Waterloo. Deliberate attempt to recatch the same spark and in my humble opinion rather successful. They changed enough to make it not obvious. Replacing the up and front guitar from strum to a riff, removing the saxophone and inserting a trumpet, changing the narrative from love victim to love antagonist……it’s the same formula but different ingredients. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. Songs have structure, songs have architecture, there are literal RECIPES for songwriting and if left unchecked the songs can become very repetitive. The boys were keenly aware of that and my hat is off to them for always changing things up.
So Long should have been a big hit for ABBA
Yeah I totally agree on that one!
I remember it first time round and it was pure glam rock . It was brilliant back then
There wasn't much censorship surrounding sex on TV in Europe back in the 70's.
There was lots of nudity in film and TV.
Very happy song, I love it! They won't dissapoint you in the further songs, I assure you!
I believe you my brother! 😍
En av mina fav av abba när det begav sej👍😀
Riktigt bra ju! 😁
Those famous cat costumes. The story. Uwe, ABBA's costume maker and Frida came up with the design and Uwe sewed them.
Before Uwe was hired, Frida spearheaded the costume designs. The earliest ones Frida made. Frida learned to sew and make clothes from her seamstress grandmother.
Anyway...
Uwe asked Frida for her input. Frida said she feels like a tiger on stage. That is where the cat idea came from and Uwe made the cats to be sewed on
Uwe then picked blue and yellow as the colors for the cats as these are Sweden's colors.
Frida picked the yellow cat.
Uwe also made long skirts. The girls can be scene in some performances wearing the long skirts and in middle of performance removing the skirts.
It was only recently when I watched this for the umpteenth time that I realised why the girls' cats were blue and yellow. The Swedish flag, of course! Then I noticed it everywhere: Benny's piano, Björn's guitar... 😍
This is my all time favourite ABBA track. Thanks for reacting to this banger of a song. 🎵🎶🎵🇸🇪😍
Well thank you for watching! 😁😁
Love it! 😂 thx!
Thank YOU! 🙏🏻😂
Was fun to see your reaction and loved the special effects (the fire 🔥 and smoke 💨) in your video. Very funny 😁. And yes it’s a great song. You won’t believe how much they have evolved musically when you move on to the next album!
Thank you 🙏🏻🤣
well my now husband made me crazy with this song. He did buy with no money but his physical skills. and he wanted me "tonight"
Giventoe, you are very funny 😂. Another great reaction. From when I loved their first Album Ring Ringwhich got me hooked, they wen from strength to strength. In my eyes this 'ABBA' album was better than Waterloo at the time but extremely hard to seperate them now - got older ! 👌
Jag älskar So Long. Så tack för denna! Härlig reaktion också. Älskar tjejernas kläder. Deras cape får mig att tänka på Elvis ❤
😁😁
Iconic cat outfits 😍😍❤❤
And if you take a closer look at the lyrics, you'll realize in this early rock'n'roll song they're singing the exact opposite of "Money Money Money"
Very true !
It's a great song. As a Frida Fanboy, I say that the short skirt she is wearing could almost turn me......😉
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Frida was always more energetic on stage. The little dance at the end is so cool.
S M O K I N G 🥵 🔥
I find Frida's leg movements so so sexy. Agnetha did not look like she approved🙂
This is just legs! exactly what you se at the beach! There is more singers nowadays just wearing kind of straps over the body an no clothes at all. We went to school and everywhere in the - 80 ies with the underpants in sight, so what!!!😊😊
Frida was known for her firm and fit body and absolutely gorgeous legs. Those legs are not average. Their perfect!
Frida 🔥❤️
Great reaction as always (and long overdue). Please move straight on to the next album 'Arrival' as you only have bonus tracks left on the current one. So Long was definitely an energetic album closer!!
He wants to do ALL ABBA songs and Crazy World and the Medley belong to them, so he should do them, too. He also did the bonus songs (except the Swedish ones) of the first two albums.
Thank you! I still have the bonus tracks left ;) But after that, defenately! :D
Både låten o videon är bra 🤩
Kattklänningen dom hade hade även en längre kjol som dom hade av o till
Nu blir det tårta här 😁
Ja absolut! Haha jaså? Det lär jag märka med tiden XD Tårta, det gillar vi! Vankas det födelsedag?
@@GivenToe ja det var ”en” som fyllde år Obs räknar inte åren längre utan man är så gammal som man gör sig 😁
Amy Grant---i will remember you--Classic Amy
Cue up MC Hammer's You Can't Touch This!....I kid, great song about women that can't be bought by an old flame or new acquaintance....
Short song, short skirts, lovely legs, amazing song 💕
Getting a little warm there GivenToe? I bet the boys really had to concentrate of their instruments. Although it was a lipsync. And to think the minidresses had a split on the side! There was also a long version of the dress.
Yeah 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm having a seizure! I don't know if it's the strobe lights or Frida's legs.... :) Seriously enjoyed this reaction!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
let there be legs and there was legs.
Short shirts need to come back! 🤣
😅😅🤣🤣🤣
Hej giventoe. Du måste genast kolla in dishonest composer react då han anklagar Tommy Johansson för att använda autotune. Vilket vi vet inte stämmer. Agera snabbt.
Ja har sett det. Låt han hålla på. Det är ganska lätt att läsa i hans kommentarsfält vad folk tycker ändå. 😅
Frida is hot
Oh David. The 70 th are Not your time.
😂😜
