Me! I just heard this on XM radio coming home from dinner 😊
Me!!

Without a second thought.
Man, I am impressed by how much Amber has learned about music in the last couple of years.
I’ve noticed that too. I don’t know what her aspirations are in life, but she has lots of great options. I can see her studying philosophy actually. She has a very deep insight into things
@@steveb7429 Uh both of them are married with young children and are past their time of going to college.
@@MIKECNWthere’s no “time” to go to college. it’s ideal to go when you can afford to, and if they wanted to go or go back, and they could without consequence they could. you can go to college at any point in your life if you decide to.
@@micawoodburn9250 Shut up!
EVERY ABBA SONG WAS WRITTEN TO BE A SINGLE....that's how good they were.
My dad used to sing this to me when I was little. He’s 85 now and suffering from dementia. He rarely responds to me, but when I put this song on, my dad reruns to me for a brief moment.
I don’t know if you believe, but I’ll save some prayers for you. Dementia is difficult for everyone involved.
@@omega311888 I do believe. Thank you so much.
It was written about two veterans from the Mexican Revolution. This is my favorite song by Abba. Thanks!
It is argued whether or not it's about either the Mexican Revolution or the Spanish civil war. The writers of Fernando have stated that the song isn't about any specific war.
@@SJ-GodofGnomes21 "The writers" of the song isn't ambiguous. It was Benny and Bjorn. It was about the Mexican Revolution. "The fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande" lyrics pinpoint the conflict. It's the only conflict in which "freedom fighters" crossed the Rio Grande in a notable war. Revolutionaries were hiding from the Mexican military until they gathered enough supplies and (with American help) regained their morale and then recrossed the Rio Grande to battle with the Mexican govt army.
They may have decided that the feelings of the soldier from whose perspective the lyrics are written transcended that one war, but the Mexican Revolution was the stage for the lyrics.
This song sounds more like a love song between a woman and a man, not about two soldiers who were men.
Why couldn't it be a man and a woman soldiers who were in love?
It is known in my family that my great great grandmother rode with Pancho Villa during the Mexican revolution.
-- from a resident who lives in the Rio Grande Valley in the southernmost tip of Texas, and close to the Mexican border, who is also a lover of ABBA music.
@@user-xw1qh8xt5imy grandmother told me about how she and her sisters fought with pancho villa and zapata.
@@SJ-GodofGnomes21Why Spanish Civil War? Spanish Rio Grande?
This song was number one in every country on earth for about 1 million weeks. I stopped watching the Top 10 on Countdown because I knew what the number one song would be. My mother loved this song so much, it was one of the 5 songs we (my Dad, sister, and myself) picked for her funeral last year. And when it came on in the ceremony, I saw her singing the song while dancing around the house just as though I was 10 or 11 all over again. God, I loved you, Mum, and I'll miss you every day until I die, but I also miss that time in my life when songs were genuinely good and became a part of our lives.
My dad really loved ABBA. He passed away 11 years ago. So every time you play an ABBA song, it brings back memories of my dad. Thank you. Wonderful reaction. Loved it.
my mom passed away when i was 15
years old and my dad 10 years ago
@@sunnystormy4973 I'm so sorry to hear that. My mom passed away when I was 31. I watched her die. My dad passed away 2 weeks before my 35th birthday. I was not there when he died.
((((HUGS))))) same ...... (although my dad passed away 24v yrs ago)
Music can stir emotions. At the start of many songs, I instantly return to a place in time for a few moments. Almost like a short movie of that moment plays in my head. I hope all of your moments remembered are of cherished times.
@@Jims_Camera_at_dawn thank you
Jay & Amber you'll love their "Dancing Queen" and "Waterloo' !!
Yes to "Waterloo".
Waterloo was ABBA's 1974 Eurovision winning song. It put the erstwhile unknown group on the map. It's an ABBA song list must.
I am a 64 year old rock music lover. I have to put ABBA up there with one of my favorites groups of all time! Even before I started watching their videos! Great reaction!!!!
I BEAT you by one year! I'm a 65 year old rock music lover, and I absolutely totally agree with everything you said.
I'm just behind you guys, at 58, but as a rock fan, I am a huge ABBA fan!
I was privileged to see them live during their 1979 U.S. tour. One of the most enjoyable concerts I ever attended.
@@SpecialBrewCan 👍👍💯💯
@@frankaq3951👍👍💯💯
Such a beautiful song. The ABBA rabbit hole is deep, and you pretty much can't go wrong with any of their songs.
Amber and Jay are going at light speed through pop music history, and they've covered an amazing amount of music, even deep album cuts. When you guys go back through ABBA again, it will dawn on you that it is the songwriting as much as the voices that is magic of this group.
Amen to that! What a fantastic legacy they left many future generations when they split all those years ago. Everyone immediately thinks of Agnetha and Anna-Freid for their amazing vocals, but it was Benny and Bjorn who were the genius songwriters. 🙋♂
Hey great song. Frida really shines here. She originally did this song in Swedish on her solo album Frida Ensam (Frida Alone) it was written special for her and went to number one in many European countries. So technically this is a cover of it with Agnetha joining in and in English. Thanks and take care
here is Frida's version.
ua-cam.com/video/_QKLMCssXzs/v-deo.htmlsi=AJswDuuix1PXkycU
Frida and Agnetha have the best voices in recorded pop music.
This song spent 14 weeks at number 1 in the charts here in Australia, amazing song!
Björn Ulvaeus, who wrote the song says it presents a vision of nostalgia for two veterans reminiscing in old age about a long-ago battle in which they participated. He said, "Fernando was about two old freedom-fighters from the Mexican Revolution."
Björn wrote the lyrics and Benny Andersson did the music.
They surprised you, didn't they.
And it's goosebumps from the first notes.
I absolutely love this song.
ABBA did a song called Voulez-Vous, sort of a Disco-ish beat to it. I think you guys would like it. Growing up in the 70s and 80s you gotta Love ABBA. Thanks for playing them and commenting
Yes, I love "Voulez-Vous"! Such a great song. Cannot help but just dance to it. So much fun. 😎👍
I LOVE THAT SONG!!!
A song ? Wow, you better check, how many songs, they've made.
Does Your Mother Know?
AH-HAH
One of ABBA's best! Bjorn and Benny are musical geniuses with their deceptively simple yet sonically perfect songwriting, and Agnetha and Anni-Frid's vocals are a match made in heaven. 🥰 More ABBA reactions please! 👍
Good point. The blokes wrote the excellent songs, and the ladies had the beautiful voices
ABBA is so essential to 1970s music. Very special group.❤
This single sold 10 million physical vinyl copies worldwide. And to think they're from Sweden and English is not their native language, mannn u gotta give props to these 4 talented people
I believe this was the top selling single of their entire career. They have so many great songs it's hard to pick a favorite, but Chiquitita is at the top of my list.
And they also did Chiquitita, Fernando and a number of other songs in Spanish.
@@DougRayPhillips both versions in Spanish are exotic.I also love the Spanish version to 'MOVE ON",('Al Andar").
Such a beautiful song
Goosebumps... and tears. What a wonderful song from the 70s!
FYI- Cher does this song in Mamma Mia 2- it’s fantastic!
Cher did a whole album of ABBA covers. I love it😊
I’ve been waiting for this one! This is my favorite song by ABBA. It’s the bittersweet story of two old friends looking back on the bad old days of their youth but missing them none-the-less.
I'm pretty sure the Bell to Old War veterans from the Mexican Revolution talking about how bad the war was, but that fits❤
@@slicksterrick nobody likes war, but if you live through it and you look back on it, it becomes the most intense and exciting time of your life. The friends you make there are friends forever.
@@thewiseoldherper7047 Depends on the experience. If you lost most of your friends in battle as well as some of your limbs, you likely don't consider it an exciting time in your life. Not to mention the possibility of being captured & tortured, or protested against by your own countrymen. I doubt that most veterans who lived through D-Day look back at it fondly. Hence, PTSD is a thing.
@@jp3813 everything you said is true, but that’s not really addressed in the song. My father fought in World War II and Korea. He had some issues, but he still looked back on those days kind of like the two guys in the song did.
Best pop group ever, the songs are so well written and constructed, and of course the ladies crystal clear voices are second to none. SOS is my favourite.
Like Mozart and Bach to classical music, ABBA is to pop music
Absolute masters 🙌
Fernando stayed at number 1 on the Australian charts for a staggering 14 weeks. It's the song that set them up for superstardom in Oz, a level of fanaticism pretty much unmatched anywhere else in the world.
No1 for 14 weeks plus inumerous weeks in the top singles chart plus a record holder from 1976 to 2017!
My very first album was Abba Arrival - I felt so grown up, and it had the words. I reckon the only reason my parents bought it for me was because they couldn't have helped but know who Abba were.
I watched the Australian chart show "Countdown" on the ABC, when Fernando was originally released and in the end I think i remember that they wouldn't even play the video anymore, because i think the show was getting jack of it being number 1 again week after week and having to play it again and again 😂.
@@racheltrezise1132 Well presenter M.Meldrum revealead recent years that the very episode they didn't play it as the no1 single of the week again but instesd played the no2 song, there was a storm in the channel's telephone center by furious people massively complaining against that decision.
This was the first song I ever heard from ABBA, way back in the day! LOVED them ever since! Such a great storyteller song with harmonies!❤❤❤❤❤
The first one of theirs that I heard was: I do, I do, I do , I do I do
-wow !-
Me too. I remember being in the living room with my mother watching this. I was 9 or 10
Ditto. My dad loved this one too.
Just a vast range of abba hits that are all worth a listen to.
What a wonderful line "If I had to do the same again, I would my friend..." We should all want to support our friends like that.
Two people who crossed into Mexico to help in the fight. Of course, we all know how that ended. And may i say the ladies looked AMAZING in those Mexican dresses. GORGEOUS
I cannot believe, this is your first time of listening to ABBA. they were a WORLD phenomena! Hit after Hit. From the days when TALENT was the most important thing, not so much now
People like you sound so annoying. These people I'm sure weren't around back then and not everyone listens to older music before their time.
A lot of people (like me) will claim they are not big fans of ABBA as it wasn't "cool" to like them. But if an ABBA song comes on the radio they will sing along and know every word.
That was certainly a phenomenon in 80s. Beegees as well. All because they were considered disco and because of the truly bad disco, the whole genre became uncool. But with the passage of time, most everyone has come around and recognized them as the great group they were.
The way the song fades in with the flute still sends shivers down my spine, ABBA were always near the top of the charts in the UK.
Also extremely popular in Australia... my dad was a huge fan... their music/albums formed a major part of my childhood... great memories
There are 2 key things with ABBA - the vocal harmonies and the expert song-writing.
What do we have here!Benny's/Bjorn's genius songwritting + Frida's and Agnetha's utopic vocal and visual chemistry.Another '70s/all time masterpiece.
One of their most beloved songs. Simply beautiful!
You'll never ever go wrong with ABBA. I'd love you to do 'the Visitor's ' & 'Lay All Your Love On Me' two out of the world classic dance, yes dance hit even till today.
I love this song so much
It's so beautiful 😍
And timeless
I spent a lot of time on the dance floor in the 70’s dancing to ABBA💃🏼 Love them ❤
I remember this song when it was brand new - and I still get chills when I hear it. This is the most beautiful song ever about love, war, patriotism, stars and aging. Lots of emotions crammed into this one.
The song is about the MEXICAN REVOLUTION. The song relates to two older men who fought in the war and reminiscing about it..
The harmonies of course are fantastic. But in this song, what really stands out for me is the vocal delivery in the first verse, where Anni-Frid creates so many interesting sonic details, for instance the second time she sings 'Fernandoooo-o!' is so unique and memorable and iconic without being over the top - just love it!
Their songs just makes you smile and make you feel good. Like the Bee Gees. They both have perfect harmonies.
My strongest connection with an ABBA song is with "Does Your Mother Know?"-- not for any *real* reason other than cranking it loud and singing/dancing to it in middle school (almost 50 years ago). SUPER fun, but probably almost inappropriate in today's world (although the narrator in the song encourages keeping things chaste lol). It's one where Anni-Frid and Agnetha sing background to Björn's main vocals. If you give it a whirl, do not under any circumstances listen the Mama Mia version.
My absolute favorite ABBA song
Thanks for the reaction. Love ABBA when people thought you were a nerd to do so. Great vocals and, you are correct. They never miss. Every song is golden. Thanks again for the reaction. Love you both. Much respect from Texas.
From Texas here too, close to the Rio Grande. ❤️🤘
Always a Favorite from them!! Their songs were the Soundtrack of life growing up in the late 1970's in JAMAICA🇯🇲 ❤ So many great memories!!
When I was little, I just loved the vibe of this song - the drums, the flute, the slow verses, the upbeat chorus. When I got older and really listened to the lyrics, I loved it all the more. Such a beautiful story of older people reminiscing on their time fighting for their freedom. How alive everything seemed on that night, as it would when you realize that it might be your last. ABBA is a fantastic group with so many amazing songs, but Fernando will always be my absolute favourite of theirs.
Another great song by Abba. Great acoustic and starts slow and then really builds, so many good songs by them-Colin Ward
I just love your reaction 😊
I've been listening to ABBA since the 70s. I bought their albums and played them all the time. It's hard to imagine now, considering how popular they are, that there was a time in the late 80s-early 2000s that people were reluctant to admit that they liked/listened to ABBA. They weren't considered cool even though they were one of the top selling artists worldwide, of all time. I'm happy they are getting the recognition they deserve and so many people are finally admitting to loving them too. Here are some suggestions for more ABBAsongs to react to. Dancing Queen, Waterloo, Name of the Game, Angel Eyes, The Visitors, When All is Said and Done, Voulez Vous, Super Trouper, Does Your Mother Know, On and On and On, Lay All Your Love on Me, Under Attack, Thank You for the Music.
Same here. Only recently, someone who used to think of them as uncool apologized to me and said "Their music is really good."
Benny’s arraingment is pure genius!
They are fantastic!
57 grew up with rock and heavey rock.. ABBA.. genius, all 4 of them.... NO AUTO TUNE.. Reall singing...
This was number 1 in Australia for the longest time and it's still haunting and beautiful. Eagle is another perfect song of theirs with soaring vocals and awesome music. Lotsa luv ❣
Eagle is still my favourite to this day, has to be the long version tho.
Kelly, 14 long weeks Fernando was Number 1, thankfully "Howzat by Sherbet" finally replaced them from the Number 1 slot.
1976 was an amazing year for quality music .
@@ivorb8835 I remember! Lots of Aussies that need to be rediscovered, like the Ted Mulry Gang (Jump in my Car), Skyhooks (Horror Movie) and Mi Sex (Computer Games) - to name a scant few!
The song is one of ABBA's best-selling singles of all time, with six million copies sold in 1976 alone. It is one of fewer than forty all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) physical copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time.
yea,That's true and phenomenal!
"Fernando" and "S.O.S." are my most favorite ABBA songs. It was interesting how you spoke about how upbeat ABBA songs are, especially since I knew going in that this song has a different tone. Not downbeat, but slower and a little more dramatic. I was curious then how you'd both react. So glad you guys enjoyed it. It is a great song.
This is a beautiful song♥️✌️ Love ABBA!! 🌷🎼👏🏻Thanks guys!! ♥️
-#cheers-- !-
Yup, there it is... the smile when that chorus comes in...inevitable.
I saw the Abba Voyage show in London a few weeks ago. It was absolutely unreal. I literally cried the whole way through. You totally forget you’re watching holograms. I felt like they were there on stage. Such a special
experience. I adore Abba x
So did I, was invited to the 1st anniversary of the show, it was so amazing that I've booked to go again next April
Can't go wrong with ABBA. So many great hits, like this one.
beautiful beautiful beautiful song, brings back memories of when it was first released. great song
I went to the ABBA experience in London a couple of months ago where they have avatars of the band performing in a specially constructed arena as if you are actually experiencing them in concert. I burst into tears when they played Fernando as it just sounded so beautiful 'live'!
Everybody Loved Abba in the day! :) Great Choice Amber! (Hard to Miss though :) ) Another Great Reaction You Guys!
This was my mom's favorite song...she loved ABBA they are amazing...this is a great song..good choice. ❤..you guys should do "Gimme Gimme Gimme" by ABBA as your next reaction
For something different from ABBA, please react to "Does Your Mother Know", Bjorn is singing lead.
Was just thinking that!
Absolutely 💯
Love this one! Briiliant song 👏🏻
Love your reaction and this song. I can’t help but dance whenever I hear it.
I had this song stuck in my head at work. couldn’t stop singing. soon others were humming it. PS Amber really give great analysis!!
She sure does her homework
I love to see Ambers growth in music 🎶
You've been doing all of ABBAs best songs but the one you have to do is "Summer night city" the live version is fire ...
1,000,000% AGREE YES
Thats a great song but I love the official video with them dancing in Fridas favorite night club and going around Stockholm
ABBA is/was a once in a lifetime experience. I was about nine years old when I heard "Take A Chance On Me" for the first time and I was obsessed from that point on For every birthday, every Christmas, I wanted an ABBA album, or something ABBA related. There was just something absolutely magical about them and I don't know if it will ever happen again.
If you want to hear the guys (well, mainly Bjorn) taking the lead, check out "Why Did It Have To Be Me", "Does Your Mother Know" and "Another Town, Another Train." If you want some amazing disco grooviness, try "Voulez Vous" or "On and On and On." One of my favorites has always been "Hey Hey Helen." It's one that isn't as well known, but I think you'd really enjoy it
Def Leppard, ABBA, and Pentatonix are my three favorite groups of all-time. What does a rock band, a pop group, and a modern a cappella five-some have in common? Gorgeous vocal harmonies. It makes perfect sense if you think about it.
My mom loved this song we would sing along with it every time it came on the radio.
Fernando is my all time favourite Abba song, it is absolute perfection both lyrically and musically
Abba are the best even after all these years❤
'Dancing Queen' and 'The Name of The Game' are two more awesome Abba tunes. Cheers.
Love this song 🎶
Besides being a "Beatlemaniac" I am also an "ABBAmaniac" JUST LOVE ABBA! Cher sings this in "MAMA MIA: HERE WE GO AGAIN" which is the sequel to the movie musical "MAMA MIA" Cher as a brief part towards the end as the grandmother of Sophie. BOTH movies are SO MUCH FUN and all ABBA MUSIC, with a great cast. I hope you will react to both movies on your movie reaction channel. LOVE both movies and own them on DVD now so I can watch them often. I never tire of them.
One of my favorite ABBA songs. So beautiful.
Remember hearing this when it was released... can't believe it was 1976. Almost 50 years old and still incredible... Cracking tune... the lovely drop with the Gdim chord on "Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret" part always got me...
ABBA - Gimme Gimme Gimme - Does your Mother Know - Dancing Queen - Angel Eyes - Mamma Mia - Lay all your love on me - Honey Honey - Ring Ring
The first time Agnetha and Frida blended their voices was one of the great moments in Rock history
A Universal treasure in the musicverse.
Del rock, no, del pop
My favorite Abba song. Number 1 throughout the world except the US.
Great reaction to a superb song by a wonderful group! For a future female Friday reaction you should consider checking out Alaska's own Jewel and her song "Foolish Games"! Keep up the great work making us all smile every day!!
Abba just never gets old! I’ve loved them all my life. 🥰
Please check out “Thank You For the Music” or “Slipping Through My Fingers”!
Yes! My 2 favourite songs from them!!!!
Check out their new album too! Its marvelous! 🥰 An new ABBA album, after a 42 yr long absence. They are in their late 70's now, but they STILL got it!
Oh yay! About time you did "Fernando"! The 70s had great story songs! ABBA are an amazing group and got to be around in their hey day! 🙂 And the fact that they wrote songs like this and Chiquitita, and they even sang them in Spanish, made them an even bigger hit in Mexico and the rest of Latin America.
I saw the ABBA Voyage for the 2nd time last week - this is a real crowd pleaser, wonderful
This tune is about a (supposed) friend who fought during the Mexican revolution... That's why girls wear those dresses and boys wear cowboy outfits ('Marty Mc-Fly' style😄).
When Frida (Anni-Frid) and Agnetha combine their voices, something called "the third voice" of ABBA emerges. One voice is almost indistinguishable from the other... it seems like someone different... they even produce a somewhat metallic sound sometimes...
🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ is AMAZING 🤩!
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, GUYS!
❤️🇨🇱😘👍
ABBA does have a very beautiful and unique sound! They blend so well with such an angelic harmony!😇
Really enjoyed the reaction guys!👍❤️
Some not so well-known Abba songs,but so beautiful are "Move On" and "I have a dream".
Absolutely beautiful. ABBA were the first group I became fanatical about as a child and still love them to this day. They did some great tracks in the 80s as well, 'The Day Before You Came', 'One Of Us', 'Under Attack' , 'Lay All Your Love On Me' to name but a few.
Benny Anderson is a genius composer over any sort of orchestral genre. Ballads, rock ‘n’ roll, disco, symphonic arrangements of these pieces. All this melodic music sounds very simple, but musicians know how difficult the cords and the progressions are.
That is why their music stands out and will always be outstanding. This sound was unique because the vocal arrangements were so utterly tight. The instrumentation was all Benny‘s arrangements with some help from Björn who wrote wonderful lyrics for a person whose first language is not English. He’s a genius too. The girls as the boys said brought real singers to the table and their voices combine magically.
Charming, sweet, lovely but you should also listen to them now and after a 40 year absence since they broke up in in 1981.
In 2021 they put out their first album since then and it went to number one around the world on every pop chart list they watch. That is the magic of ABBA which makes them timeless. And now in London, they built a special stadium with lifelike avatars performing as they did in the 1970s. They did all the movements for these avatars, in real life, to be digitally incorporated into these Avatars and it looks as if they are right there on stage performing all their hits.
Listen to more ABBA and then in a few months, do the 2021 songs I Still Have Faith in You and also Don’t Shut Me Down.
Enjoy your ride because ABBA remains one of the top groups of all time and at one point had superseded the Beatles in number of records sold I think now it’s up to 400 million including the latest output after 40 years. Really still geniuses those two guys Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. One of the best songwriting duos of all time.
My favorite Abba song!! The pan flute…snare drum tapping… the song is a story for all senses ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Australia had a special relationship with ABBA. It was here that they made their first real break, with Mamma Mia. Fernando was the number one top selling song in Australia for an unbelieveable 14 weeks. I don't think any other song has even come close to that.
Thank you Australia ! ❤❤❤❤
For people like myself who were lucky enough to grow up with abba in the 70’s/80’s listening to this music as it came out, transports you back to a simpler time, a time before the horrors of social media, pre 911, a more innocent beautiful word. ABBA are unique never will we have anything like this again
Excellent analysis of ABBA's brilliance. There is so much "Swedish Melancholy" in their songs sprinkled with happiness and joy.
I Love ABBA and have for the last 40+ years. There is a group with two sisters who's harmonies are beautiful. They are called 'First Aid Kit' They have a live version of their song 'Emmylou' who's harmonies might even rival ABBA and Heart!
The first record I ever bought was ABBA's 2nd album "Waterloo", in 1974 when I was 10. I'd saved up my pocket money for ages.. and bought an ABBA t-shirt that Christmas. One of my absolute favourite bands then and they still are ☺. Loved seeing your reaction guys! Thanks for sharing.
My favorite ABBA song.
Great reaction as usual! Glad a new generation can understand and enjoy their immense talent as singers, writers, composers, and musicians. Their most successful worldwide hit "Dancing Queen" is one of the most famous pop songs in history and their only US #1. No exploration of their catalog is complete without it.
