Why Did It Have to Be Me
ABBA
When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well I understand
It's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
Nights can be empty and nights can be cold
So you were looking for someone to hold
That's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
I was so lonesome, I was blue
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Always thought you knew the reason why
I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are beginning to care
But baby, believe me
It's better to forget me
Men are the toys in the game that you play
When you get tired, you throw 'em away
That's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
Ooh
Falling in love with a woman like you
Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do
It's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
I was so lonesome, I was blue
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Always thought you knew the reason why
I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are beginning to care
But baby, believe me
It's better to forget me

I always wonder why Agnetha did not perform on this live version, she sings on the studio version. Another great live performance by Abba is Summer Night City at Wembley Stadium from 1979.
They were big back then, but really really popular in Australia: ua-cam.com/video/B7hgNDt-sFQ/v-deo.html[0:30]
the versatility of ABBA, to be able to do so many musical variations and so well
(While they are essentially a pop group)
I propose you to do this song from the same Australian 1977 recital:
"He is your brother" (his first # 1 in Sweden 1972)
Here I leave the link:

@@ginalashley1265 this was Agnetha's time for a break song.
Frida gourgeus and rocking without mercy.
Ohh ya!
Frida was the energy and the spirit of ABBA. She could do anything. What a talent!
Frida é muito versátil em tudo o que interpreta. Beautiful!
Facts. Agnetha was the cool, shy and sad spirit and Frida was energetic, magnetic and dramatic. Fire and Ice. They complimented each other vocally and in personality perfectly.
For those not around at the time... It's Australia, 1977. Anna is back stage changing for the next song.. THIS is the (NOW CLASSIC!) stage performance that scorched Frida indelibly into every male brain that ever saw this. Many consider this her best ever live performance ! Ever see a girl rock a song like this? She was gorgeous, smokin hot, into the song, perfect pitch with arguably one of the best mezzo soprano voices ever, and having the time of her life!
The record crowd, all fans, were delirious! Then throw in a killer sax track !
If this doesn't get you going, you don't have it nearly loud enough, ...... or you have my deepest sympathy... (!)

Frida so sexy but not in any outrageous way. She didn't need to waggle her bottom or jiggle her tops to suggest sensuality. And what a performance. So energetic and lively. She was having fun. This sounds like the counterpart to Treat Him Well He is Your Brother which is another man sings, woman responds type song. I liked your reaction very much. You're always honest, and you don't just say good things to please the audience. Good man.
Frida was so much fun on stage. 😃
they have really good stage presence.
One of my favourite ABBA songs, and probably my favourite live performance. Frida really rocks in this one. She's such a show-girl. The song has a Fats Domino 'Blueberry Hill' feel to me. It was never released as a single by ABBA, but perhaps the 'Mamma Mia' movie version charted.
You know showmanship is such an awesome talent. Not one I have but i love seeing people with it.
yah, it has an early rock/rockabilly/blues sound for me. This fit more into the men's early music history, especially Benny's with his former group, the Hep Stars.
Frida excelente cantora dança perfeitamente linda ❤
A bluesy jazzy feel sounds about right. Frida started out singing jazz.
Fantastica Annifrid 💚💚💚
What ever songs they perform, ABBA has thier own style by themself.
It’s for sure unique.
All the different styles of music just shows the range of the talent and there is a song for everyone given the choice and style. There will never be another Abba. Still the music has stood the test of time.
Ya different genres and styles through the years is def impressive.
You need to review The group heart at Kennedy center tribute to Led Zeppelin stairway to Heaven the amazingness
They were everything you/them wanted to be, high class and entertainment, sophisticated, experimental yet defining a decade of glamour with so many great artist around. They were/are life at its best, pure and almost divine.
This song is alot of fun
agreed!
This is the best version of their songs and, in my opinion, one of their best despite Agnetha was on a break and did not accompany in this live performance (or any after this as far as I know as it became Frida's song). She did accompany Frida note-for-note on the album, but for whatever reason they took it in this direction which I surprisingly love.
Hi. Thanks for doing this one so fast. I think it just shows off Frida stage skills so well. While they were active a lot of people said they were only a studio band. But any of their real (most of the TV stuff is lip sync) live shows prove that wrong. So far as genre they did it all. I don't want to go on and on but a little research into the ABBA and you'd probably be pretty amazed at what they accomplished. Anyway thanks again hope you liked it.
Their presentation looks great to me. Seems ultra flamboyant I like it.
This is one of my favorite ABBA song. They should've made it into a single for sure. I suggest you to react to 'Does Your Mother Know' and 'Hole in Your Soul' from their Wembley live.
Okay I'm doing "Does your mother know".
@@jaybrielakoi7747 The live versions from Wembley of DYMK + Hole in Your Soul beats the studio versions. I would also suggest 'The King Has Lost His Crown', an underrated song. There is a nice video 'ABBA Live in Switzerland' with this one. However, it is not really live. But Wembley is.
tecniquely this song did appear as the B-side to knowing me knowing you in the u.s. but it could have been an A side.
This song feels very much like swedish genre dansbands-musik (danceband-music). Fun song and a nice reaction. Keep it up
Ohh so it's as swedish kinda thing then. Didn't know that.
@@jaybrielakoi7747 kind of in a way but not really. For more of that specific try "I do I do I do" if you still are interested try "Money Money Money" for more musical dramatic feeling. I'll ask for a personal favorite instrumental song called Intermezzo no. 1 or Tiger which is a song very few reacts to but that have that drive, I have a weak spot for it anyway. Great reactions, like your honesty and true reactions while listening.
@@jaybrielakoi7747 Rock&roll isn't exactly Swedish, of course. But playing it like this kind of is.
This synthesis of rock&roll and schlager with some jazz feel to it.
@@jaybrielakoi7747 totally
I wish I was there in '77. I like songs that have a end and not just fading away like so many do. This is a great ending to this song.
ABBA mastered all kinds of music....this included,great song,great live performance....I would call this a mix of rock and pop....abit bluesy too....
One of the many reasons why ABBA were (and still are) so popular is that they sang in different genres, just like other successful popular groups like The Beatles, and to make each song sound like its own story. That's what makes for stand-out albums. ABBA did an album in 1979, called 'Voulez-Vous', and while there are a few disco-genre songs on it, those disco songs stand out well, because there are breaks with other genres like ballad, funk, rock and pop. A whole album of one genre can be hard to make *all* songs from that album sound fresh - and indeed (years/decades later) evergreen 😊
Just some of the genres they wrote and performed (per song) were: pop, rock, musical theatre, vaudeville, funk, gospel, emo, ballad, disco, waltz, blues, early-techno, flamenco, and schlager.
40 to 50 years later, ABBA are currently the 4th most successful act in the world, after Elvis, The Beatles (and someone else I can't remember at the moment 😉).
I'd highly recommend listening to any of their 8 studio albums, moreso the latter 6: 'ABBA' (1975), 'Arrival' (1976), 'ABBA the Album' (1977), 'Voulez-Vous (1979),
'Super Trouper' (1980), and 'The Visitors' (1981).
Greetings from Australia 🐨👋😃
Ya, multiple genres is heard. Like really hard. Most musicians can't really do that. IMHO
@@jaybrielakoi7747 I think a lot of pop artists are magpies and experiment with lots of different musical styles. Madonna is a great example of this. Each album she has different musical influences. She's done practically every genre at this point.
I like ❤❤❤
Yes ! Absolutely awesome performance from a brilliant concert ! So glad to see some reactions to ABBA's live performances from 1977 - what a fantastic year it was :)
Totally wasn't alive at this time.
You may be interested to listen to "Happy Hawaii". It's an earlier version of "Why did it have to be me" and was featured on the B side of the "Knowing me, knowing you" single. It has different lyrics/style.
I'm so sad they changed it to this
great song, actually.
Is it your favorite.
@@jaybrielakoi7747 I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but I've never heard it before, and considering it wasn't even a top 40 hit in the US, I think it's quite good and catchy.
To an old song, an old word: Gorgeous!!! Please Jaybriel, try MONEY MONEY MONEY (OFFICIAL VIDEO) AND TIGER (AMAZING OFFICIAL VIDEO or the awesome vibe in Australia 77 hd) YOU'LL GET MAD!
ABBAs songs are full of catchy and happy melodies; you get in such a good mood when you listen to ABBA. Their music pick you up when you are down or in a depression. Make you want to dance and celebrate being alive. The music is effortless, and yet so complex in all their different layers. In my opinion, Benny Andersson is one of the very best composers of our time.
When you really and fully understand the text of ABBA songs, you will be amazed of the depth in the lyrics and the phenomenal insights in the challenges of being human. This ability allows us to easily identify with the lyrics. I do not know of any other group that can captivate me and enchant me like ABBA. Their music and lyrics are magical.
Neither do I know of any other group that can evoke as many different and genuine emotions and feelings in me as ABBA do. This is a rare talent that ABBA have in abundance.
I go as far as to say that this talent makes their music and lyrics a real healing on a very deep, unconscious level. So, in these very turbulent, chaotic and uncertain times, ABBA has a HUGE mission.
Love from Lena
Hi jay, I've never ever listen to abba. But I thought, if they came from Australia like the bee gee I would listen.dam, they are good.i really live your reactions💞 you listen to all the songs with a open mind .💓💓
Hi Carol, ABBA were from Sweden, if you haven’t really listened to them, you have a lot of joy ahead of you!
well, we gotta listen to things with an open mind. It's important. You gotta live and learn right.
The Bee Gees came from Manchester, England, not Australia.
I only meant they lived there and came back to England. Not they was born there. And abba is not from Australia,.
@@danfrost3043 🙄🤔The Bee Bees were from the Isle of Wight (an island situated between the UK and Ireland) but moved to America in the 60's when they were in their early teens.
💖🇬🇧😷
Yeah, I think it's different for Pop groups as opposed to Rock acts. Rock artists tend to have older fanbases who buy albums more than singles. They also don't need to change style or follow trends so much. In fact the fans of Rock bands get annoyed if their favourites deviate from the style they know and love. I mean a Rock band can go years between albums when they've reached a certain level of fame. ABBA spanned a decade from early 70's to early 80's and that was a period of time when the music scene was fervent. Even Rock had several sub-genres during that period. Hard Rock Heavy Metal, Glam, Pub, Prog, Punk, Post-Punk. It was all going on with Reggae, Funk, Soul, RnB, Disco, Synth-Pop acts all having success in the charts. ABBA, in their early years, were an odd mix of Euro-folk Schlager and Glam Rock. I think a big reason that they had sustained success was because they had the talent to adapt. So when Disco was dominating, they put out a album influenced by that genre but with songs still infused by their own unique sound and Scandinavian melancholy. It's why, when even their final studio album was not as commercially successful as in their heyday, it still went #1 in a number of countries and was critically acclaimed.
You’re totally right about the rock groups demographics. A ton of those rock groups are still very prominent. I think as a kid I for sure heard about the big rock groups much more Than pop. It’ll be interesting to see how newer genres like rap do since they’re relatively new.
You are right,they had so many different styles to their songs.Their vocal range was incredible - that's what made them such a great band.
I love their music...but as you can see angnetha was not there...where was she? This is their best version of this song...love..love..love it
Also listen to ABBA's When I Kissed the Teacher
that sounds scandalous. I don't know anything about it but I'm doing that one.
Rock, blues, jazz, pop??? It’s ABBA!!!
Super abba
It certainly didn’t chart in the UK originally, it was never a single. However it may be the version from Mamma Mia Here We Go Again that charted in 2018.
It started off as a completely different sounding song called 'Happy Hawaii' which fitted better into what their music had become. They then changed it to this which looks back to the glam rock style they had around the Waterloo time.
Glam rock is a strong point tfor them imho
@@jaybrielakoi7747 This song isn't that catchy so I wouldn't put it among the best of glam rock by themselves or others.
I think they'd moved on from glam rock at this point, at least in the studio. Pop music continually evolved, so musicians had to change and that's what made pop interesting.
It certainly ain't jazz! If anything I would describe it rock'n'roll with a boogie backbeat.
You should listen to The Piper - a pop song in a medieval style. These guys can do ANYTHING.
This is typical Swedish "dansband-sound" The Dansbandthing is unike for Sweden. In Sweden people travels around to places where different bands play this kind of musik, then you dance Foxtrot or Bugg. It´w become a cultural fenomena.
you never see Benny and Animal in the same room...I'm not sure this is jazz, blues - it sounds like the Benny Andersson Big Band Orchestra, a little Oom-pa, imo
The ending was cut.
It was performed by Lilly James and Josh Dylan on a floating boat in the second mamma mia movie
I have not watched that but i hear about it.
I'm a big fan of Abba's but those Mammamia Movies🎥 😤🤮😵😩 bought the 1st dvd, watched it once then gave it to a charity shop the very next day.
funny that agnetha doesnt appear in this video.hmmm this was the b-side to i do i do i do which hit #15 in the u.s. the original title for this is happy hawaii which did come out as a b-side on a latter single. wiki calls this song a fats domino flavored song. another fact the original version called happy hawaii has agnetha singing lead not frida.
In this video Agnetha is missing. They didn't sing this as a duo, it's actually singing Agnetha and Frida together, but this time it was only Frida singing. Strange!!!
Sounds great without Agnetha.
Без Агнеты просто amazing!!! Without Agneta amazing!!!
Os fanáticos pela Agnetha acham tudo estranho o que a Frida canta essa performance e maravilhosa
Abba's influences were mostly rooted in British pop and the European Schlarger music style. American influences much less so.
Make of that what you will.
WEll diff continent diff style.
I think this is glam rock influenced a bit. Rock Me actually has a Slade like vocal to me. Overwise the more progressive pop style definitely from late Beatles, Queen, 10cc and others. The schlager style is obvious in Move On.
The folk style (Benny even after ABBA did some folk) is obvious in some tracks like the track Arrival. That actually has a bit of a Scottish folk sound to it, so maybe Swedish folk can sound similar. Some Spanish folk music I heard the other day also sounded like Scottish folk music.
Where the H was Agnetha?
Sleep.
To be honest, this is among my least favorite ABBA songs (I ranked it #80 in my ABBA top 100). All in all an unremarkable song. This live version is better than the studio version, though. I'd recommend you do the major hits first, before you start doing personal requests. Songs like this don't showcase ABBA at their best, IMHO.
yeah, I'm kinda just wondering around their songs to be honest. Next one i do will be a hit ok.
This doesn't fit on Arrival, should have kept Happy Hawaii. They had moved on from the Waterloo style.
