    What a versatile and and amazing group, no?! “Voulez-vous” was their Disco album!

    ABBA's success in the U.S. really skyrocketed after the play "Mamma Mia" became a success. With that said, this is among my favourites of ABBA's songs and danced to at many dance club since then. This is a Disco song originally released on July 2, 1979. Look up their best compilation titled "Gold: Greatest Hits."

      Hey Paul...have you heard the Matt Pop remixed version of ABBA's tune "My Momma Said" from their 1st Waterloo album? It kicks and the soulful beat is almost as fast as Voules-vouz. Many of their tracks should be re-released.

    Love ABBA. Started with the Arrival album back in the 70's (I still have it). Unfortunately they never became real big in the US. A lot of the kids back then laughed and called them a bubble gum pop group. I was fortunate to see them in concert in Chicago on their only US tour. Interesting how a new generation is discovering them and appreciating the music.

    Thanks again, Dereck, for reacting to one of the pop/disco era's favorite groups. If you ever consider a genre of music to react to you'll find some great disco artists, vocalists, and dance tracks to react to. You might even lose your pants over some.

    There is an Australian movie called The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert which stars Hugo Weaving, (Agent Smith from the Matrix, Red Scull in Captain America) a group of 3 drag queens who make a cross country trip through Australia who are ABBA fans and perform to their songs. It kind of popularized ABBA for the gay community a bit around that time in the early 90s. I think it may have inspired the American movie To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything -Julie Newmar, which starred Wesley snipes, John leguizamo, and Patrick Swayze

    Glad to see you enjoying ABBA so much Dereck 🤩👍
    ABBA songs have been proven to be evergreen; and that would be due in part to the time the spent crafting their songs - they were a studio act, and thus toured relatively rarely (the Australian tribute band, 'Björn Again', have done far more touring since 1989, and even have a franchise of other 'Björn Again' troups that go around the world 🤣).
    Keep enjoying 😊👋👍🖖

    Voulez-Vous the S in "vous" is silent.
    That is the single edit, the album version is extended. Voulez-Vous was a double A sided single with Angel eyes (also from Voulez-Vous album) on the other side But Voulez-Vous was the obvious radio play side making No.3 in UK chart which is amazing really taking into consideration the album had already previously (containing the track) gone to No.1 in album chart.
    Yes its very disco influenced, disco was huge late70s/early80s and with Blondie Heart Of Glass having been a No.1 global smash earlier in 1979, Voulez-Vous was right up there around late79.
    I never noticed it before but the liars of instrumentation and production value is just extraordinary.
    My interpretation of this track has always been a sexual innuendo reference Voulez-Vous ...whats your sexual desire? and I reckon I'm not far away that hidden meaning.

    Another famous song from the 1970s with "Voulez Vous" (do you want to?) in the lyrics is "Lady Marmalade" by Labelle, a No. 1 pop and R&B hit from 1974. ... "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" (Do you want to go to bed with me tonight?) Patti Labelle went on to have a busy solo career in the 1980s (and some awesome hairstyles) ... and to sell some seriously delicious sweet potato pies and other goodies in the 2010s ! :-) There was another No. 1 pop version of "Lady Marmalade" from the 2001 movie soundtrack to "Moulin Rouge," with vocals by Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil' Kim and Mýa -- which I am sure you have heard of. (Christina comes close, but nothing compares to Patti Labelle!)
