Oh yeah 💕
As other people have said Abba Won The Eurovision Song Contest with THIS song and the rest as they say is History
And yet it so nearly didn’t happen. The original Swedish entry was dropped after getting into legal troubles and the Swedish network approached ABBA to fill in; having failed to make the cut the previous year, and feeling pretty unhappy about it, they were initially reluctant, but their record company “persuaded” them to go for it.
@@ythomitnellum Karma at it's best!
Love abba
i was just going to mention that they won the Eurovision song contest.
@@susannehouse3857I'm not sure what level they were up to at the time but I know RTE were the associated broadcaster for Eire in that list of one for each competing country (BBC for the UK,RAI for Italy,etc.) that always appeared in the closing credits of each episode of Jeux Sans Frontieres.
Amber, you've got to listen to ABBA's Dancing Queen next. It's probably their biggest hit and it'll be your new favorite. guaranteed.
Dancing Queen is a masterpiece
I actually had to go back and look to make sure they hadn’t done it! I can’t believe it!! They haven’t done Dancing Queen!! 😳Ok Amber, let’s get it! You are really gonna love it!
Yeah c’mon Amber. It is time for Dancing Queen. An incredible song. You will love it!
@@michaelhillman2959I second (or third) this emotion. A must.
No ABBA overview is complete without the Dancing Queen!
Waterloo is 50 years old this year, and it still sounds as fresh as when it was released! Timeless!
This song is what launched ABBA into the stratosphere, and on to become one of the best selling pop groups ever selling close to 200 million albums worldwide.
Umm more like 400 Million! Only the Beatles have sold more!
"Waterloo" was a Eurovision Song Contest winner.
450
Guys, THIS is the song that launched Abba onto the world stage. They won the Eurovision Song Contest with this: Brighton, UK 1974 (hence the glam rock outfits) and the rest is (Napoleonic) history!
I was just about to say the same thing. This is THE song from ABBA for me.
Back in the day all the music at Eurovision was played by the same orchestra with each act supplying their own conductor; ABBA’s came on dressed up as full Napoleon and brought the house down with a mixture of laughter and cheers. With hindsight I’d love to know what score they got from France 😂
In the early '70s, very few musical groups were making videos for their songs. Benny and Bjorn figured out early that music TV shows would play these clips and promote their songs. Since ABBA was an international group, these clips were played all around the world and helped make the band even bigger. It was a brilliant move, since was a whole decade before MTV.
Absolutely. Benny and Bjorn are innovators. They have even pioneered one of the first virtual concerts.
@@Spo-Dee-O-DeeThe Beatles made their REAL MV in 1965, sooooo...
Bob Dylan did a film clip of his song "Subterranean Homesick Blues" in 1965.
You just can’t feel bad while listening to ABBA, it’s impossible! They’re audio serotonin🥰🥰🥰
Guys, Luca just gets cuter all the time! His little wave at the end! 🥹
These guys are amazing, in the Swedish competition of Eurovision they sang this song in swedish, when they went to the Finals they knew they needed to sing in English to have a chance of winning.
Millions of people across the World were introduced to ABBA with "Waterloo", their first big Hit, pretty much launched their career, followed by "Honey, Honey" and "SOS"..
"Waterloo", ABBA's international breakthrough, but you still have their biggest hit to react to; "Dancing Queen"...
Wow how have they not watched that one yet!?!?
I doubt they will react to Dancing Queen as I heard Amber say in a video ages ago that 'everyone knows Dancing Queen' so I think that was the only Abba song they knew & heard previously so therefore can't react as a first time hearing unless they haven't seen the video & could react to that. Must say I was disappointed when I realised. I hope they react to the video so we still see a reaction even if it isn't the first time they heard it. Loved Luca's appearance today to, so adorable.
I think they’re saving that one for a special occasion.
@@Marianne_321 I don't think she's an expert on who know what song by them.
@@MIKECNW I never said she was an expert. Just that with Abba, Dancing Queen seems to be the groups best known & most popular track with the public & judging by Amber saying that 'everyone knows Dancing Queen' beforehand (when they reacted to another video). that it could be the one track they already knew from Abba before reacting to other tracks which they didn't know.
People constantly ask Amber & Jay in comments whenever they do an Abba track to react to Dancing Queen & they haven't so far & I suggested it could be because they already know it so can't give a genuine first reaction of the song. However while (possibly) knowing the song they may not have seen the Dancing Queen video, so could react to that & in this way it would still make many who want to see their reaction to that song happy.
My wife drove me crazy with Abba for so long, and being a rocker since the 60s, I certainly wasn't on board with Abba! It really didn't matter to her, she'd just tell me to go to my 'Man Cave' if I didn't want to hear it! And she was right. Lord knows I drove her crazy with my rock. Sadly, I lost her to cancer three years ago, and I must admit, Abba never sounded so good as this reaction. Thank you for reacting to this song (which was one of her favorites), and giving me a little time spent with my wife again.
My condolences on the passing of your bride. I'm sure she watched down on you with a smile when you tuned in to this reaction. As others have mentioned, this was THE song that had me hooked on this band, from Waterloo to Voyage...
Great song but you must listen to Dancing Queen next! It will easily become your favorite ABBA song!😊
Agreed. Totally.
And I love their TIGER
@@RabbiSteve I disagree. They had better things out than Dancing Queen, good as it was. The Name Of The Game comes to mind. SOS is another. Slipping Through My Fingers, yet another.
"I've been waiting 25 years for this moment..."
(Presses 'play.' Ride of the Valkyries begins to play before being interrupted by Waterloo playing)
"I'm sorry sir. I must have taped over that."
Three minutes of pure ecstasy.
I always think of the film Muriel's Wedding when I hear this song. I think you would really like the film, they pay a fun tribute to ABBA and it's just a movie full of feels . Funny, and sweet.
I never heard of the movie, but I have seen Mamma Mia! which also is a tribute movie sketched around their songs.
I totally agree- great movie! I also mentioned it in my comment. I’d love if they reacted to it!
@@CabinFever52try to watch it if you can! Lots of ABBA songs and a really good movie.
Love Toni Collete and Rachel Davis performance of "Waterloo" in the movie.. it's Classic.
@@4tuneagent Rachel Griffiths and yes it's a fantastic movie! I hope they react to it in their movie channel
❤ ABBA is fantastic! Can’t help picturing the scene in Muriel’s Wedding where this song features prominently…. Great movie! Check out Name of the Game next.
Yes!!!! Another movie night
I was just thinking I need to watch that movie!
Moma Mia, too ... at the end with the main characters ... seeing Colin firth in platforms 😅😂
Yes. Love that scene and love the whole movie. Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths were fantastic in that movie, and the whole cast was stellar. Abba music features prominently in the movie as well.
NAME OF THE GAME !!! yes !!!
When you have done about 10 more ABBA songs you have to watch Mamma Mia. I love the versions of Abba in those Movies. Luca made me smile today and probably way more of us viewers.
"Waterloo" (1974) is one of my favorites, and is in my Top 5 of all ABBA songs
(with S.O.S. , Dancing Queen, The winner takes it all & Don't shut me down)
and I think that is the song that change history,
not only for ABBA, for Sweden and Eurovision too
"Waterloo" was the song that ABBA wrote especially to participate
in the annual Eurovision Song Contest
By the rules of the competition the songs could not exceed 3 minutes (that its 2:46)
and ABBA made a masterpiece!
ABBA sing it in Swedish, for the local selection in Sweden (February 1974)
and finally ABBA sing it in English in the final held in England (April 1974)
before 16 interpreters and songs from all over Europe.
"Waterloo" and ABBA win Eurovision for the first time for Sweden
It will be Their first big worldwide hit: #1 in UK and half Europe (also South Africa),
and Top 10 in U.S., Canada, Australia , New Zealand and the rest of Europe
ABBA recording "Waterloo" in
swedish, english, german and french
Several years later, in 2005, to the 50th Eurovision anniversary,
"Waterloo" was chosen as the Best Song in all the history of Eurovisión
i hope you have a nice week
Kind regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
South América
This brings back childhood memories, The UK was hosting the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, and for the first time, I was allowed to stay up late to watch the entire annual Eurovision Song Contest.The rules of the contest at the time the performers whether solo or a group/band had to perform with a full orchestra. So ABBA
had their Swedish conductor dressed as Napoleon, i remember the excitement as the International juries votes came in. ABBA won the contest for Sweden, launching the group on the International stage.
I'd forgotten that about the conductor!!
I was waiting for this! It is just so fun right out of the gate! And this is the one that blasted ABBA into fame, winning the 1974 Eurovision contest with it!
And since y’all are ABBA fans, you definitely should do Muriel’s Wedding for the movie channel! They are basically the whole soundtrack!
Yes! Film Friday or Movie Monday - Muriel’s Wedding, but not until they’ve reacted to Dancing Queen first.
Definitely!! Love Muriel's Wedding
I can’t believe they haven’t done this one already!
You need to watch “Muriel’s Wedding”. Jam packed with ABBA songs and there’s a scene with Waterloo and it’s hilarious.
ABBA is so excellent, there is so much diversity in their music, they have a song for people's emotions , and have a positive spin even in the sad songs, they've been my favorite for 50 yrs. The songs never get old and make you feel the same now as when you first heard them.. here's a few examples of diversity; "As Good as new", "That's me", Tropical Love Land", Voulez-Vous", try these, good examples of thier styles... Love ABBA and their timeless music!!..
Shouldn't be too hard to reach 500,000 because you guys are very pleasant fun people.
I'm always thrilled to see an ABBA reaction
The first time anyone in the US heard of Abba was this song, the one that launched their fabulous career!
Always nice when Luca makes an appearance.
I keep pushing for Slipping Through My Fingers, a wonderfully moody song from their last album. A song I love!
That's the trouble with ABBA. You name a song you want but there are 10 others just as good that others have listed.
I agree. Slipping Through My Fingers is an emotional song and highly underrated. Beautiful.
Yes I keep asking for it too! A different Abba, beautiful song.
Ah, the song where it all began...As an avid ESC viewer, there will always be certain acts/songs that stand out over the years and Waterloo is one of them.
ESC is just a political shitshow now though :(, it used to be good.
It began for ABBA earlier than 1974. Check out People Need Love, 1972.
@@erroristmusic Too true. It's a shame though, especially given the whole reason the ESC started was to bring people together with music and it seems to be becoming less and less about the music with each passing year.
I like to do a "blind" listening to the songs prior to the competition if I can (since most songs are released ahead of time), I pop them into a playlist, set it to shuffle and don't look at the names of the artist/song/country...etc. I just assign each a number, rate the songs and check to see who did what afterwards. It's really interesting, as even if they do sing in their "native" language it's not necessarily always obvious who sang what (i.e. French is common to several countries and a song can be sung in any language really, regardless of which country the representing singer is from).
@@keithbrown7685 I'm not saying that they didn't do anything before Waterloo, but "Waterloo" is definitely the start of what shot them into international stardom.
Their two live performances of this when they won Eurovision are actually better than this original studio recording you reacted to.
True. Those just blew everyone away. No other group could match ABBA at Eurovision '74.
@@The_Jupiter2_Mission Are not what?
No, they are not better than the studio version. Not by a long shot.
Has anyone else checked out their new album? They may be older, but the talent is still there
One of the songs is actually
previously unreleased, but written
& recorded back in the '70s.
I downloaded it from iTunes the day it was released!!
I watched the launch event live at 1.30am my time, tears of joy in my eyes. Finished a full box of tissues that night while the wife and kids slept.
This is one of the signature songs of one of the 70s signature groups
This song has one of my favorite song lyrics of all time: "The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself." Grew up listening to ABBA and still love them so much.
When they re-did this in "Muriel's Wedding" (movie) I LOVED iT.
Fantastic movie.
Me too! One of my favourite scenes!
Pop-wise, it really doesn't get much better than ABBA...legendary and for a reason.
Waterloo was actually their second album in 1974. The year before they released their first album "Ring Ring", you should react to the title song "Ring, Ring".
Benny and Bjorn were and still are master song writers and Agneta and Anni Frid were beautiful beyond belief , with voices that could shame a a flock of nightingales . Another great song of theirs is So Long ( see you honey ) , which doesnt get the recognition for how good it actually is . A bit of history about ABBA is that it wasnt the first time ABBA tried to enter Eurovision. In Sweden they have what is called " Melodifestivalan", where the people of Sweden pick the act they want to represent Sweden at Eurovision. In 1973 ABBA entered Melodifestivalen with the song Ring Ring and finished in 3rd place with just 8 points and 29 points behind the eventual winner. Then we all know what happened the next year, ABBA won the competition with a staggering 302 points , 89 points ahead of the 2nd placed artist
Abba was my mom's fave band when I was little, so I grew up with all their songs. I remember when she went to see them in concert, she was so excited. When she passed away, I watched Mama Mia almost everyday for a month. The music made me feel close to her and really helped with my grief. xxx
Now you know why so many of us were requesting this one. Waterloo introduced Abba to the world. It was so catchy and all over pop radio. Honey Honey would be a good one to do next and maybe their biggest song Dancing Queen.
It is hard to believe that they haven't gotten to Dancing Queen. This was their 13th reaction to an ABBA song (plus they've done Frida's "I Know There's Something Going On"). It will be an interesting reaction when they finally do ABBA's only number #1 in the U.S.
or "one of us"
Just to note - yesterday was the 50th anniversary of them doing this in English and winning the Eurovision Song Contest, which put them on the map.
Their winning song from the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton, England which hailed their dominance of years to come. Song writing and harmonies are out of the world and they’re still going strong with their Voyage show in London
...and the UK didn't award them a single point.
I love the song. THANK YOU. Wish you could react to the Movie Muriel's Wedding -- Waterloo was huge in that GREAT MOVIE from AUSTRALIA
I just watched The Martian (a movie which you guys should react to if you haven’t seen it yet) that this song is part of the soundtrack in the movie. Pretty good song. It doesn’t suck.
I've wondered if they picked that song because the University of Waterloo is one of Canada's premiere engineering schools (although in the book it's Beatles tracks that were left behind by one of his crewmates).
This is where it all started for me, can you believe this is 50 years old ! Ive been obsessed with them ever since. The greatest group of all time
When this CRASHED out on the AM radio waves in the Summer of 1974, I knew we were meeting up with a band who would take the world by storm.
Please please please, for movie night- MURIEL'S WEDDING; it's full of Abba music and about a young woman who's at a transitional time in her development, who lives by what Abba music says. It's a mid 80's film and it's Toni Collette's debut and she kills it as Muriel. It's a beautiful and perfect independent, small budget, film that won many Awards in Australia. Please enjoy it some evening.
and the Waterloo scene is a classic 🙂
agree 100%
Have you watched the musical Mama Mia with Meryl Streep? The movie incorporates many of the ABBA songs. I think you guys would love it if you haven’t already seen it. One of my favorites!
And the version of Waterloo in the end credits is hysterically cheesy and funny.
It was a piece of tripe. The ABBA soundtrack is the only thing it had to recommend it.
So many people clamoring for the mediocre and the overrated.
@@keithbrown7685 I thought it was cute. Most musicals are tripe, but some are still cute.
Only like a few of their songs, but "Waterloo" is so good it justifies their legend.
Back in uk so 1am here but still plugging for that Slade track, merry Christmas Everybody is right up your street guys 🙏
OMG! Whenever I hear this song, I think of the movie "Muriel's Wedding", a MUST SEE!!
Yes!!! Muriel’s Wedding is amazing! 🎉
The last song they recorded together, The Day Before You Came, I love it. It's sort of different to most of their usual stuff but very haunting. I feel that it is a fitting end to their time together.
YES!!! Finally! My favorite ABBA song!!! Luca is too adorable!!!
Abba songs never seem to age probably the best group ever their music has stood the test of time you never get tired of hearing a Abba song, as for Abba voyage wow what a show absolutely fantastic it's got to be on everyone's bucket list.
If you're going to listen to ABBA, you've got to listen to their greatest hit "Dancing Queen". Perfection!!
ABBA and ELO were (and still are) my favorite rock groups back in the 70's! Both of them had nothing but great songs! And completely original!
His sweeping keyboards, the build up is always prominenet in most songs - he was the genius behind the band
Was 14 yrs old 74' ..watching Amer Bandstand- they did some shows on Malibu Beach, Waterloo starts playin,Bandstand kids playin frisbee& dancin..I was like,- " Man ,in a few more years !!" 😁🌴🌞
One day a good movie reaction for you would be 'Muriel's Wedding' from 1994, an Australian film which was Toni Collette's first film. The soundtrack is full of ABBA songs.
This is EVERYTHING. I remember them winning, I've seen the outfits in exhibitions in Stockholm and London, how does one song never get old?!
ABBA cracked the cheat code. Like, EVERYBODY, loves ABBA. How could you not? Every song is so catchy. 🥰
In 1975, ABBA performed this song on Saturday Night Live and its hysterical! They are "performing" on the Titanic as it sinks, and the camera work actually makes it look like they're really sinking! I searched for it on UA-cam but unfortunately I couldn't find it.
I love this song but I have to admit that every time I hear it, my mind goes right to the scene in "Muriel's Wedding" when Muriel and Rhonda dance to this song. "Mamma Mia" wasn't the only movie, though technically a live musical first, that had an ABBA soundtrack prevalent in the movie. Such a fun and clever song. Definitely worthy of the win at Eurovision. 😎👍
Yeah, although the fight made it more memorable.
Amber, I love hearing your takes on songs because you usually get it and convey in such a relatable way.
"Bang A-Boomerang" is my favorite ABBA song. It's not one of their biggest hits, but it has a similar explosive energy as Waterloo and features one memorable hook after another.
My favorite ABBA song since they release it in 1975. Yes, Jay, it's the tempo, I agree...it starts in rolling from the very start.
I dare anyone to not to tap their toes during this one.
❤
This has always been my favorite Abba song.
This was ABBA's breakout hit that made them worldwide superstars. In 1974 I was living in Waterloo Belgium, and after they won the Eurovision Song Contest they visited the town to give a sort of thank you for the inspiration.
I love the aggressive piano riffs that some of the best ABBA songs have. It really sets their music apart from their contemporaries.
One of the few bands where the greatest hits albums are actually real greatest hits.
Hey guys! I love, love, love this ABBA song. I clicked the vid immediately, and seconds later, I was bouncing around, dancing in my kitchen in the *best* mood. Thanx so much for your reaction. So glad to hear you guys loved this song, too. Peace out. ☮️
Nothing is going to top “Money, Money, Money”? You haven’t heard “Dancing Queen” yet!😊
Dancing Queen is the ABBA song that put more people to dance at the discos than any other.
Yes also their first hit song
ABBA had the best melodies ever. Even my hard rock buddies agreed. And those lead singers....'nuff said.
I feel old today. Saw KISS in 76. Lets go Rob Squad. Love you guys
You should watch the movie "Muriels Wedding" with Toni Collette! It's filled with ABBA❤
I was 9 years old when ABBA won the Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson with Waterloo and their music grabbed me and hasn't let me go to this day.
The style of their music is unique. They can be fast and powerful but also slow like with Eagle, which is a slower track, and this changeability was always what set them apart and you could always tell in the music what mood they were in when writing and composing .Abba were unique, something like that will no longer exist and that's why their music will accompany us for a very long time and inspire other artists.
greetings from Germany🎧
This is first song I ever heard from Abba, in the summer of '74 while I was stationed in coastal NC with the USMC. Great song by a great group!
You really need to see Muriel's Wedding for all the ABBA love.
YES YES and YES. Muriel's Wedding from Australia. Great movie and Waterloo was set up perfect in that movie.
"Dancing Queen" please even though "Waterloo" is a terrific choice. I also highly recommend reacting to "Muriel's Wedding" on your movie channel which has an incredible Abba soundtrack I know you guys would enjoy. Keep up the good work!! Also Luka is adorable and is growing up so fast!!!
Love that ABBA is from their initials - Anni-frid, Benny, Björn and Agnetha. Always love this group!! ❤
I love that their clothes in this video - probably made several years after their Eurovision win - were the costumes they wore at Eurovision when they famously sang “Waterloo” (and blew everyone’s doors off! 🤩🤩🤩
If you want to go for a very different side of ABBA, try 'The Day Before You Came' - one of their last singles before they broke up. It's a very mysterious, quietly devastating song. It wasn't a big hit but has really become a cult fan favourite over the years - with much speculation about what the song is really about.
I just have to echo a couple things that I've seen several comments on already. Watch Muriel's Wedding on your movie channel. Toni Collette (Cole's mom in Sixth Sense) launched her career starring as Muriel. The scene with this song is great! Second, you really need to hear Dancing Queen next. It's ABBA's biggest hit, and I know you'll love it!
I'll be here cheering you on to half a million subs! But you definitely get more than 500k smiles a day. I often watch with my sister, and I know lots of others love to share your reactions with important people in their lives. Thanks so much for being a joyful part of our days!
Since most of the Scandinavian countries are celebrating ABBA's 50th anniversary these days, I thought it might be a good idea for you to make a reaction to "ABBA: The Movie". It's a movie shot during their trip to Australia and the managers idea was to make a movie, without the ABBA members being aware of it, the only "actors" were the "journalist" and a "bodyguard". The ABBA members were told, the cameras were for for a documentary...It's a feel good movie, that really shows, how big ABBA was in Australia. Australia opened ABBA's road to fame, after the win at the Eurovision Song Contest, their music was refused to be played on air, since they were written of as a one hit wonder, as most of the Eurovision winners. Even in their native Sweden, they didn't get any air time for a year and a half, until the Australian tour, when the UK opened their eyes for the ABBA mania, which was followed up by 19 consecutive ABBA hits!!!
ABBA was massive in Australia in the 70s as a young red blooded Aussie boy I was in love Agnetha, I still love ABBA there is a great Aussie movie called Muriel's Wedding that covers a lot of ABBA music worth a watch.
Have you guys watched the Australian movie 'Muriel's Wedding'? I think you'd love it. This song features prominently.
I love all of ABBA songs, but Jay and Amber, you must be saving the best for the last with Dancing Queen is by far the best ABBA song in my opinion.
Heard Amber say 'everyone knows Dancing Queen' on one of their video's ages ago. So it appears it's one they heard outside of this channel previously. I think it's the only Abba track they heard before. I'm hoping they cover 'Thankyou for the music ' next or 'I do, I do, I do, I do, I do'
I love their reactions!
Love seeing your big smiles on this fun song.
Also check out ABBA's "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do". Love that song!
Introducing the children to ABBA! That is what great parenting is all about!
Something that both ABBA and Celine Dion have in common. The annual Eurovision Song Contest in Europe launched both of their careers. ABBA won in the U.K. representing Sweden in 1974, and Celine Dion won in Ireland, representing Switzerland in 1988.
Céline won with the French song "Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi". In my country it was quite successful. I don't know if she ever recorded an English version of that song. Translated it is: Don't leave without me.
@@helindove2237I don’t think Celine ever did record an English version (although I feel I’ve heard a live - at least partially English - version). She did record a German one called “Hand in Hand” though… but it was only ever released on 7” vinyl to my knowledge.
@@Leifdk1 Thanks for letting me know. I'll definitely check it out. I know a little German, so that could be fun.
@@helindove2237 you can find it here on UA-cam (I just checked!). Enjoy! ☺️
They won the Eurovision Song Contest with this song in 1974 in Brighton England
I remember watching this on TV in the U.K, I was 12 and we watched as a family. We didn’t care that we lost to this great song ❤
The 2 very strong female vocalists have a unique, sort of natural chorus created when they sing in unison. I'll always remember ABBA for that. That and a slew of big hit songs. Considering English is their 2nd language, this song in particular is quite a lyrical feat.
Love this song; love this group! I can't wait until y'all have reacted to all of ABBA's songs that are in the musical Mamma Mia! so you can finally react to that movie musical too 😁 Then you can start working on their songs that are in their second movie musical, Here We Go Again. 😁😁😁
Okay, here's your goal:
These are all the ABBA songs you need to hear because they're in the first movie musical Mamma Mia!:
Lay All Your Love on Me
Super Trouper
Honey, Honey
The Name Of The Game
SOS
Our Last Summer
When All Is Said And Done
The Winner Takes It All
Mamma Mia
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
Money, Money, Money
Thank You for the Music
Take A Chance On Me
Voulez-Vous
I Have a Dream
Dancing Queen
Slipping Through My Fingers
Does Your Mother Know
I think y'all are about halfway there now. 😍🥰
Great aren't they, just pure joy and emotion. A few suggestions if you haven't done them yet "If It Wasn't For The Nights" "One Of Us" "Name Of The Game" " When I Kissed The Teacher" "Tiger" "Our Last Summer" "Summer Night City".
Keep them coming .
So glad you mentioned “If It Wasn’t For The Nights”, it’s a real hidden gem & one of my favourite song’s from ABBA 👍
One of the ultimate Eurovision songs. It was putting the band up to the stratosphere where they stayed for the rest of the decade. The LP was btw very diverse with every style there was around, even hard rock.
The four ABBA members were all well known in their homeland with previous chart success so they were a kind of Swedish 'Supergroup'. But they faced obstacles in breaking out from their domestic scene. That's why they took the Eurovision route. To get international exposure. It's estimated that up to 500 million TV viewers saw them win with this song. And I think a lot of older ABBA fans can recall when they performed. You could tell they were a bit special.
This song started it all!! Absolutely love this band!!🤘🔥
The soundtrack of my adolescent years ❤ There's so much more Abba for you to discover yet too.
Early Abba was like showtunes and early 70's Europop ditties... songs like 'Waterloo'... 'People need love' ... 'I do, I do, I do, I do, I do'... The group evolved as music technology advanced in their career.
One of their Top Hits... Love Abba, and I 'second' the suggestion to React to Abba's 'Dancing Queen'!! Great Reaction, You Guys! :) PS- Love seeing Luca & His smile at the End!
