Not our song. Song belongs to ABBA

Chiquitita is a rare moment in music history where every listener is taken on a emotional journey that is totally universal. Everybody around the world understands and feels it. Therefore it is a true masterpiece!
Couldn’t have said it better myself! 🎶-Ethan
The most beautiful voices in recorded pop music.
Abba have donated profits from sales of this song to Unicef.Apart from Europe this was a Phenomenal hit in Latin American countries and is a kinda sacred hymn there even today.Sales were Huge!Even in Mexico was no1 for 32 weeks.
With one of the most recognizable music catalogs ever created, their unique craft of songwriting truly transcends generations and has inspired music lovers for decades
The more songs you hear the more you love them. Always unexpected, totally unique classics. Not only their known hits but their album tracks just as well. They are remarkable indeed
A monster hit in Mexico and South America. ABBA did an entire Spanish language album because of the success. What is a little unusual about this song is the vocal arrangement. ABBA were known for their close harmony singing and in some of the biggest hits like 'Dancing Queen' and 'Mamma Mia' the two voices are virtually as one. On this song, they obviously made an artistic decision to have Agnetha and Frida singing a little apart. You can definitely hear each voice and one or the other is more prominent on certain words or phrases. These guys and gals were superb musicians and an awesome combination.
I think a lot of people feel the same as Larry about many Abba songs: "it's not the sort of thing I would normally listen to, but this is good on so many levels!".
For sure! And now, ABBA is definitely something we listen to -Ethan
haha the dad's reaction was awesome...I love it, because me too I feel that excitement when I listen to ABBA and their fantastic music. 🙌 Great reaction...looking forward to see more 👍
btw. there is a live video from that song on UA-cam (spoiler: they were stunning live as well) 😎
I'm an out and out rocker....but I have to say......how can you not get into ABBA😮....top tunes,Brilliantly composed.... top "pop" music......and back in the day the two lady members were eye candy 😂
"how can you not get into ABBA"??? The issue for me might be more with the radio than it is actually with Abba. It was when the Corrs began to rise to fame that I totally stopped listening to the radio. Radio stations know how to kill things simply by playing things to death. That's how you can get out of ABBA. Perhaps if I were to hear an ABBA song not aired on the radio I could like it. Radio stations tend to stick with what they know is a safe area - tunes instantly likeable. That tends to mean no real depth to the music and with 2 1/2p lyrics. Paul Mccartney once stated that writing love songs was the easiest thing to do. That's why most songs have a very short life. Had I have continued listening to the radio, I probably would not like the Corrs today. ABBA were about long before I stopped listening to the radio.
@stevejones1682 ....yep.....I guess you don't like ABBA....... lol...😅....maybe you should lighten up a bit........life's too short to be radio angry.
@@markferrett700 are you always a hot head? Because what did i actually state? I effectively stated that if i heard something not done to death I might like it. Life is too short Mark to listen to dead music. It's not a case of being radio angry. It's a case of not being dictated to by the radio as to what I should be listening to. Maybe - just maybe if I were to have heard Chiquitita for the first time I might actually have liked it. Then I might have shared Larry's enthusiasm. Life is too short to spend time listening to what is no longer liked. For the radio that's around 90% of what they play. There is a fantastic ocean of music out there that radios just don't play. They like to just splash in puddles and not have a proper swim.
@stevejones1682 relax dude.........your gonna implode!
@@markferrett700 your initial; comment struck me as being sensible enough to warrant commenting on.....🤪
They had top notch Swedish musicians playing on their records. They also had a genius engineer called Michael Tretow.
At it's core this is a sad song, whilst at the same time filled with such hope and optimism. Great reaction guys. Thanks.
There's a Spanish version that is really good, what a beautiful song.
a separate comment
I see that you are taking the songs from
'ABBA GOLD' album
I don't know if you know that GOLD is ABBA's most successful compilation album.
Released in 1992, ten years after ABBA broke up, it includes 18 of their Top 10 hits in the UK and a hymn "Thank you for the music".
and has the record of +1100 weeks spent in the UK Top100, the last 300 uninterruptedly, currently in the Top20
It is the second best-selling album in the entire history of the UK, (let's remember that ABBA are Swedish and not English-speaking)
I'm so glad you enjoyed this beautiful song
Another suggestion may be
"Super Trouper" (1980)
with the lead vocals of the brunette Frida
If you like this one, you should also listen to Fernando (also by Abba). Similar-sh sound and structure; a great song that has a clear story.
If you will be surprise by Abba, than hear "The Visitor" that's Abba at his best
I agree. The Visitors is a jamb.
This is a great song and your reactions to it is really good.
ABBA were not always a fashionable band to like but they made great, well produced and enjoyable pop music that has easily stood the test of time.
Thanks Steve! 😃 -Ethan
The bands music is very popular on TikTok app. Always trending, that's why the GenZs know them well.. ABBA's music has been searched more than 2 billion times on the said app
What a true experience listening to a masterpiece for the first time ever. Great reactions Father & Son! You got my likes and subs 👍 Please do more ABBA's 😊
Larry…. LOVVVVVED your enthusiasm!!! 😀 Yes! Awesome song!!!!! 😀😀😀😀😀 You need to hear “Fernando!”
Great honesty and passion for music .......I loved that reaction...well well done guys
Thank you Thomas! -Ethan
70s and 80s my sister was a metalhead and I loved ABBA. We'd never even agree to disagree 😅 These days, I love some great metal and she's desperate to go see the 'Abbarar' Voyage concert in London! 😂 Great reaction guys!
Interesting. I never thought you would enjoy this song as much as you did since it has a more of a folk style to it. Since you mention enjoying 80s music they do have a couple songs which, in my opinion, served as a great foundation to the overall 80s sound that everybody used. After all, ABBA has inspired many artists throughout the years. These songs are: “Under Attack”, “One Of Us”, “Me and I” and “Super Trouper”.
If you want to explore their more rock style songs you can react to “Eagle” or “Hole In Your Soul” (the live version in Wembley has an amazing guitar solo).
They actually did return a couple years ago with a new album and their staple sound is still there. They’re just great musicians and singers.
Back in 2000, ABBA was offered $1 billion to reunite on stage ($250 million per member). There were reports of 100 shows and some reports of 250 shows. ABBA declined the massive offer.
Eagle (Long version) is my favourite ABBA song to the point it's in my top 5 songs of all time. I was a pre teen when I first heard it and it was a magical uplifting thing for me right when I was awakening to loads of great music. Great wall of sound synth work and cool long guitar solo at the end.,
Watching the music video makes this song even more enjoyable. Its a fantastic song. Great reaction.
Yeah.... This is a masterpiece 👌, no doubt!
However.... There is many ABBA fans who assure that their best songs are other ...:
'SOS', 'The Winner Takes it All' and 'Fernando'😅
Please try more ABBA 🙏
Greetings ❤ from Chile 🇨🇱👍
My favorite of Abba is SOS it was a big hit. The first time I heard the song is when I was introduced to their music. It's my favorite
They did an ABBA Oro , Spanish version and it was a massive, massive hit. still today Chiquitita in Spanish is very popular. I also heard that during the pandemic, as depression set in, people in Europe would play this song to help them make it through.
I'm really surprised that you guys aren't getting more subscribers. You have a really good channel, and you're both very authentic, compared to all the fake reactors that are out there.
Aw thanks so much Lightmane! I really appreciate this comment. It would be nice to have more subscribers. Ultimately though, we value quality over quantity, and we feel very lucky that our subscribers and commenters are such great people. -Ethan
@@fatherandsonreactions I totally agree about quality over quantity. Hard to disagree, but if you react to 'Hi Ren' by Ren, you'll get both, as fans of Ren are mostly very nice people, who leave very positive comments, and Ren is also very appreciative of UA-cam reactors; something that you don't see in most artists on yt, which is sad. He just thanked all of them in a 5 minute video he put out, in celebrating achieving a million subscribers. I think you'd enjoy watching that too. Some have reacted to it, even though it's not music, but just him giving a 5 minute speech, basically. It's very moving though, so I hope you check it out sometime.
Agree wholeheartedly with ur original comment. I try to do my part by sharing as I've done even on FB. These guys are the best. U know they both have convos about how thankful they r to all us subs as well. I guess u could say many of us are "key pals"😉 too. Maybe if we share their posts more, they may get more subs. 👍🏼👍🏼
@@ramonaalvarez7559 yeah, but both of them would be nothing... without me 😛🤪
@@Lightmane WORD .. Fuhgeddaboutit🤣
Swede here! If you loved this one you should listen to the group "First Aid Kit" which is also a swedish band who made a cover of this song. Search here on UA-cam, it's when they did this song in Australia 2012, that's the video that you are looking for. Stunning live performance of this song. Cheers!
Great reaction! ABBA really was a great band! I still prefer Waterloo, SOS, Super Trooper and Fernando! I’m surprised but glad you enjoyed this great song!
I'm so glad to see you with reaction to ABBA
several things to say about "Chiquitita" (1979)
Chiquitita" means 'little girl' (with affection) in spanish
And the melody have a spanish tune, specialy by the acustic guitar
But the center is the wonderful piano, like almost all ABBA songs
"Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, it has hopeful lyrics,
a melody that starts very soft with the blonde Agnetha's solo,
then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus;
Agnetha & Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence
It allows us to check how excellent singers Agnetha & Frida are
and what harmonies of excellence they achieve.
It stands out especially when they stretch the monosyllables with great quality and beauty
"Chiquitita" was premiered especially for the UNICEF Concert (January 9, 1979, just 44 years ago!)
and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF
These is the link of the perfomance in ONU
(in the previous you could see all artists join to ABBA singing a chorus of "He is your brother")
ua-cam.com/video/oMIw_y9uRT8/v-deo.html
"Chiquitita" was ABBA's greatest success in Latin America,
that prompted ABBA to record it in Spanish, and its success was so extraordinary,
that in the following year ABBA recorded a full album with their best songs entirely in Spanish
("Chiquitita" in Spanish is the biggest ABBA hit in My country Argentina)
Chiquitita" is in the Top 3 of all ABBA worldwide biggest hits,
with 'Dancing Queen" and "Fernando", and it's a fantastic Masterpiece
The official video was filmed in Swizterland 1979
, when ABBA goes for a TV Special to UNICEF
It's the only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden
I hope to see you soon with next ABBA songs
My best wishes from
Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
South América
Go away Eduardo
In terms of the arrangement, this is great proof of how to do it rrrright. Similar to "the winner takes is all" it's not just about the voices, but also (let's be honest) about the whole arrangement. It's simply HIT material.
As you said they are the second best selling band after the Beatels in Europe. But that even means se ond best in the world.
This song is in top 10 of ABBA for me but beleive it or not - ABBA has got many songs in this level, in many kind of styles. Just choose one and go for it - can’t get wrong with Abba! Why not go for something LIVE (they were brilliant) - for example SOS, I’ve Been Waiting For You or Fernando from Australia 1977?
A song of maternal comfort, support, and then, ultimately, hope … This song is outstanding. Probably my favorite of theirs.
Ethan here are songs that I think Larry would know, probably the same songs as me since I was not into them. These songs - SOS, Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie!, Waterloo, The Winner Takes it All, Money Money Money, Take A Chance On Me, Knowing Me Knowing You, The Name of the Game, Fernando, I Have A Dream.
So many of my hard rock friends turned out to be clandestine ABBA fans. Myself included hahaha
Yeah, ABBA always seemed to get stuck (at least here in the USA) into that weird category of "band everyone secretly liked but wouldn't *admit* to liking", because liking their stuff was somehow 'uncool' for reasons that were never really specified. But they sure sold an awful lot of records for a band no one would admit to liking or listening to. :-)
@@ballyastrocade5672 Possible reason for hiding the Abba love?They represented the vulnerable , soft side of a human soul.And we usually tend to hide this.Just saying...
The whole song is amazing, but the high notes of Agnetha, for me, is the cherry above the top
Ha ha, der Papa ganz gechillt und der Sohn kann sich nicht halten...
Schön zu sehen!😊
Hey Dad & Lad! that's a Wonderful reaction to Abba...love it very much, so heartfelt & true
Chiquitita was a huge hit in Europe when i was just a lad, way back in early 1979
(i remember it well)
didn't quite get to No 1 in the UK charts though - was held at No 2 for weeks by....Blondie's Heart of Glass! another great record, innit
Love your reactions, Dad & Lad👍
Please react to Eagle, the long album version. Very different from this one, but absolutely fantastic. Also great for listening while driving around.
Yes, they were offered a billion dollars, which by my standards is still a lot of money. One of the reasons why they said they didn`t tour much, was the they needed to have so many musicians and stuff to go around, like a couple of violins, two sets of drums and a lot of everything, to be able to create the Abba sound which has so many layers and instruments. The live version of this song and Does your mother know/Hole in your soul from Wembley arena 1979 is absolutely fantastic. It`s the purest form of Abba magic.
Their discography is so full of hits and hidden gems, including songs of many different genres, I highly recommend for you to take that journey and get to know about them more than just the biggest hits.
Wow, I wasn't expecting such a rave review. It's fine. Larry and Ethan enjoying it so much makes it a great video.
I agree 😊
I love it when people are easily pleased!

ABBAsolutely loved that song 😂🍺🇸🇪🙏❤️🌹🌴🤘
Someone has left his bubble. 😁
Pretty good song. ABBA is great.
I saw on your face that this song grow on you😂❤ Good reaction. Moore Abba.
My favourite ABBA song along with Super Trouper and Me and I. You should react to ABBA singing Super Trouper and Me and I.
I enjoyed this video. Good job , keep 'em coming. peace , it's worth the fight.
True Yogi! Even without 🐄🔔.
i think it was Steven W , @@66edoug, that said "If you drive by cows in a field and yell 'moo' , do ya think those cows get jealous thinking 'how'd that cow get herself a car ?"

Then you haven't heard them sing 'move on.' Just subscribed in the hope that you will go deeper into the rabbit hole of Abba... which will take some time, but truly worth it.
I love metal, rock etc but since I was a child I've been a huge Abba fan. Their music is just beyond any cathegory and very good live. The problem is that there are not many good recordings live. You can try this ua-cam.com/video/-Ty9cYKZ-p4/v-deo.html Eagle live version in Wembley
Back in 2000 they were offered a billion dollars by a British/American consortium for a world tour consist of more than 100 shows and they turned it down, cause they were already rich and don't need the money. When u have those immaculate back catalogue of albums and songs, your set for life. Royalty pays
Woah a Billion?!? 😳 That’s insane -Ethan
Yes was not an option / frida
Keep going down the rabbit hole. Try Knowing Me Knowing You. They did reunite and put out a new album called Voyage in 2021 and appear in their own purpose built Arena in London in ABBAtar(Avatar) form. Check out two of their songs from that album, I Still Have Faith In You and Dont Shut Me Down, amazing.
❤❤🌷🌷🍺👌 you know what my favorit Abba's song ? Does your mother know 😀
Now its time for "Take a chance on me.." and "Name of the game" by them.
Hello there! It's not a bad song. Kinda reminds me of their song Fernando. However my favorite still is SOS!
I agree and probably slightly prefer Fernando to this one.
@@davemac1197Absolutely!
“There big in Europe.” Enough said.
Very popular in elevators around the United States
@@generoberts9151 *they're
@@generoberts9151I've never heard of it.
Father always right, but they hava so many more songs that's great.
Time for you to do: Fernando, The Winner Takes It All, Knowing Me Knowing You, SOS, and Take a Chance on Me
Hi guys, just found your channel from algorithms from 25 or 6 to 4. Now ABBA. Have you done Fernando? I was searching something else and wanted to comment in a more recent and wonder about an omission.
You’ve done a lot from the 70’s but one major is missing. The Voice. Karen Carpenter, Carpenters. The brother (Richard) and sister duo, the biggest act of the 70’s. A rabbit hole for sure. Sadly a limited amount but still a lot to experience. I’m going to link a personal video that pretty much has all the elements of their sound and features. The musicality, the unusual instruments the vocals. I hope you will give them a try and let the Carpenters Army find you, they will. I’m a proud member in good standing. The song is Rainy Days and Mondays. It’s a personal fave to introduce someone to them. If you play it I’ll certainly comment with more obscure choices, I’ll let the Army do the standards. I love the obscure great songs for special reasons for each. Enjoy!

Check out "SOS" by Abba. Pete Townshend calls "SOS" the greatest pop song in history.
Hi guys! Hope your week has got off to a good start?
Hello there! I thought this was about a banana?
Hello Dave! This song has definitely made it a good week so far -Ethan
@@cherylreichardt - I thought it was about chick-a-cheater?
@@davemac1197Ha ha 😂
@@cherylreichardt - hello there!
There are a live version of Chiquitita
Well, as I said in reply to you Ethan, Chick-A-Cheater is probably not even in my top 20 ABBA songs, so I thought I would list my favourite ABBA singles and try and get them into some sort of order or preference, so here goes:
01) S.O.S.
02) Eagle
03) Summer Night City
04) The Visitors
05) Waterloo
06) Mamma Mia
07) Knowing You, Knowing Me
08) Lay All Your Love On Me
09) The Winner Takes It All
10) The Day Before You Came
11) Does Your Mother Know
12) Money, Money, Money
13) The Name Of The Game
14) Fernando
15) Thank You For The Music
16) On And On And On
17) I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do
18) One Of Us
19) I Have A Dream
20) Take A Chance On Me
So my guess was right, Chiquitita might make it at number 21 on my ABBA chart after scoring #2 in Sweden, #2 in the UK and #29 in the USA in 1979. Chiquitita means "little girl" in Spanish and I always thought she was Fernando's little sister because the songs have a similar vibe. Great to hear you want more ABBA, so pick any of my top 10 or 20 and you're probably guaranteed a hit that will tickle your eardrums!
Quite a list Dave. ABBA only made 9 albums. Quality over quantity.
@@66edoug - that's most, but not all, of their singles, but they're all quality because they were all superbly produced.
@@davemac1197 That is the way it should be. But...
@@66edoug ... it doesn't always happen.
I know about 10 of them. Not in my wheelhouse. I went through you list and listened to all of them and these are the songs I recognized - SOS, Waterloo, The Winner Takes it All, Money Money Money, Take A Chance On Me, Knowing Me Knowing You, The Name of the Game, Fernando, I Have A Dream, Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie! (not on list)
Eagle still is my favorite song.
If you like a more rock sound then you must check out the LIVE version of Does Your Mother Know/Hole In Your Soul from the 1979 wembley concerts here in London. It will show you just how i diverse ABBA can be. The boys were very influneced and grew up listening to the Beatles, Stones and the Beach Boys so their eailer stuff was more pop/rock. But every now and then a more heavy number still crept in. Incidentally they are now in their 70's but rececorded live a load of their songs while wearing 3D image suits. Avatars where then produced of them. At a specialy built arena here in London is a show with a 16 piece live band and backing singers but them singing live through the Avatars. I have seen it and its mind blowing. Chiquitita is one of the songs they did and sounded as good as when i saw them back in 79. They also released a new album and the tracks 'Don't Shut Me Down' and 'I Still Have Faith In You' are amazing. Their vocal are still incredable at their age nothing lost. Small correction 2nd biggest selling band in the world not just Europe.
Great Song but I think Voulez Vous is the Best Song in the world 🎉🎉🎉
Great song Larry&Ethan got 4 sister so I grow up with ABBA no choice try Sweet blockbuster great band 70sand 80s please guy's.
Ik whatcha mean Lare .. but for me today .. guess I'm just not in "the" mood 😉 Not today .. "transitor" & kinda "carnival" sounding to me. If that makes sense. Y'all still my fam tho .. wink wink😉😁
Haha no problem Ramona. -Ethan
Certainly one of their most popular and well recognised songs but I think they have much better songs, as much as I like this.
In no way does it "blow away" Dancing Queen either, not musically, not in harmonies, not in complexity nor layering nor production nor technicality.
It is just some people prefer one style of music over another and so see it as "better"
You will certainly enjoy ABBA's "Fernando" as well as it is also a little folksy but a perfectly crafted ABBA pop song try "Name of the game"
Could be just because we’ve heard “Dancing Queen” so so many times so we have gotten way to used to it. -Ethan
@@fatherandsonreactions Yes could be, but there is no doubting its quality. as pop/disco song.
It is probably the most popular song in the world for getting people up dancing at gatherings, and that is really what Disco was about.
I will be interested to see you reaction to future ABBA songs as they are quite often different styles of music even if they always have the ABBA feel.
The first minute of that song is very nice but for me it takes a wrong turn when it erupts. That kills it for me. That said Abba knew very well how to make pop music, but all too frequently were too much in the middle of the road for me. I've never been able to be enthusiastic for ABBA. That isn't intended to imply those who are shouldn't be. Ok if its their scene.
Your son is too young to get involved in such emotional song. Teenagers prefer pumping or noise songs.
Chiquitita is piece or art... and their voices... Mmmm
Im glad you like it.
The banana should have sued ABBA over this song. It gives the banana a bad name.
There is no proof that you are even watching anything. As far as I know, you might be listening to a record or tape or radio. VERY disappointing and no need to ever follow anything you do! 😞😞☹☹😞😞👎👎
We don’t usually react to music videos because they tend to get blocked. So we listen to the song without the visuals. Sorry if you don’t enjoy -Ethan
