MAN those guys wrote the most stunning melodies ever. The two girls are gorgeous and WOW could they sing ! ABBA were and will remain the high water mark for pop music
Dont ever forget this guys where born in sweden, english wasnt their mother lenguage and they made worldwide music hits, they deserve the double of respect
ABBA produced some of their best material just before they disbanded in the early 1980s…”One of Us”, “The Day Before You Came”, “Super Trouper”, “Two For The Price of One”, “Just Like That”, and this one. Had they continued, they probably would’ve made more gems.
@@yogiaol Really not. Is from ABBA's album from 1975 when they already were famous. In fact they have decide to record the video 'cause they thought it would be a hit. The bang-a-boomerang of Svenne & Lotta was more famous than this but time has made this abba song became more famouse that was originally.
THE BEGINNING OF A LEGEND!!!THEN ABBA WAS A SIMPLE BAND AND THEY COULD WALK IN THE STREET,LATER THEY WOULD NEED A COMPANY OF SECURITY JUST TO GET OUT OF THEIR HOUSES!!!ABBA FAN FOR EVER!!!
Totally AGREE! Absolutely THEE most popular, MOST celebrated, Most Copied, most played band in the world! Even MOVIES made of them and their songs! ABBA will live FOREVER!
This and Ring Ring as far as the early videos...and Waterloo, since Eurovision was their springboard to international success. Then, in their heyday/prime, I'd say they're pretty happy in Take A Chance On Me too, and maybe Summer Night City, since it's pretty much a tribute to Stockholm.
In Sweden there's a common joke that Björn looks like he should be named Benny, and Benny looks like he should be named Björn. The reason being that Björn ("bear") is beardless and always so happy looking, while Benny (just a jovial sounding name) has a beard.
ever notice that Anni-Frid & Agnetha sound like an entire choir singing? They are the only ones to ever have that ability. The sound like 4, 5, 6 people singing at times. Their talent is so off the charts its not possible to describe in words. Nobody has come even remotely close since these two. Nobody ever will.
This sound is called WALL OF SOUND, it's a special production which was invented by Phil Spector, and Benny & Björn used it a lot, multiple tracks with the girl's voices combined create that special sound.
Actually, Abba had a back up singers + Bjorn and Benny so in the chorus of their song we heard at least 6 voices.Check out their live performances,Abba had 3 back up singers.
The wish is that this music come back. It never went anywhere. It’s here for all of us who are lucky enough to want to hear it and hear it again. If it’s good it has a life of its own. The music never left and it’s not going anywhere. Thank heaven that you got to hear it, know it,and enjoy it. It’s not going anywhere.
Smart people can hear the complexity. Their music wasn't easy to create. Their successful endeavors with writing musicals for Broadway and the fact classical musicians and condoctors admire them,prove that.
I think part of the reason why ABBA's singing of love songs were so believable because they were real couples and they felt every note and word they sang.
I have always thought that everything ever done by ABBA was a well written well sung song. From the up lifting Bang a Boomerang to the melodic Chiquita. No group today can compare to them. Most in the past would be hard to find. Been a fan since I was 17 , now I’m 60. Hail Hail to ABBA.
C'était une autre époque. Une époque heureuse, insouciante avec la musique d'un groupe mythique, intemporel, inoubliable. 4 jeunes gens géniaux. Merci ABBA d'avoir égayé mes journées et de continuer à le faire. ❤❤❤❤
Fun fact: this short film was one of many directed by Lasse Hallstrom, who went on to direct such features as MR. HOLLAND’S OPUS starring Richard Dreyfuss. “Bang-A-Boomerang” was ABBA at their bubbliest.
Actually, Lasse Hallstrom didn't directed Mr. Holland's Opus (1995), it was directed by Stephen Herek. Also, Lasse Hallstrom did directed What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), The Cider House Rules (1999), Chocolat (2000), The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014) and A Dog's Purpose (2017).
@@Naminski1aCripes, you’re right. It WAS Stephen Herek. And he’s still making movies today. He just got through making a movie called DOG GONE with Rob Lowe and Kimberly Williams-Paisley. Still at it after all these years.
This is the most beautiful song from ABBA why do they not play it on the radio???? TO MUCH HAPPINESS AND LOVE IN IT???? it would clear all negativity from the world...
They wrote this song for Australia as it was the first country to embrace their music in a HUGE way ... Then it Boomeranged thruout the entire world ...
GOT to be THEE MOST popular, MOST liked, MOST SONGS played, MOST WELL KNOWN POP Band in the World. You CAN NOT but FEEL SUPER HAPPY when listening to this song! SO Catchy. You can SING to it, Dance to it!. JUST SUPERB! ABBA will NEVER get old. Their songs will be played till the end of time!
50 years ago this weekend Abba won the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo at the Brighton Pavilion here in the UK. I've loved their music ever since and still do. Really love their early music. I have all of their albums on CD.
That must have been a fun little song to sing for ABBA. They look like they had so much fun singing it.
MAN those guys wrote the most stunning melodies ever. The two girls are gorgeous and WOW could they sing ! ABBA were and will remain the high water mark for pop music
Amen to that true Statement! Viva ABBA ❤!

This is my favorite ABBA song + video. Pure happiness!
Mine too
ABBA rocks!
AbbA forever!
Frida is a treasure!…She’s bubbly, she’s pretty, and she has a great voice!..I love watching her on these videos!!
Stunning Anni-Frid!!! I so liked her.
Sure frida is gorgeous.. Always my fave
Yep, I agree 100%, you got good taste in women!
Frida?....... 😀......

I feel happy when I see ABBA singing happily.
My favorite ABBAABBA album tune !!!

You can tell that ABBA truly enjoyed singing and performing. Their kind of enthusiasm couldn't be faked or an act.
@Dave Rodriguez well said 👍👍👍
They really enjoy playing songs together ,a real happiness of life.
@@zardozy she took it in the divorce settlement 😆
Of course you can fake that

One of their most underrated songs! God, I love it!!!
It is not underrated, it is very early song from 1973, before they won Eurovision 1974
Agree!!!

Only Dancing Queen hit No.1 in the U.S. ABBA never did a national tour of the U.S.A.
@@Lafayette320 Yes they did. They toured the ENTIRE US in 1979!
@@Lafayette320 They were even on Dick Clark's show when they were touring the U.S.
Only the Beatles, Bee Gees, and the stones. These four had the most hits of any.
There will never be a super group like abba ever again
Back then they were 2 great couples. They truly loved each other and being together. They belonged together
In my opinion stress from the singing, touring, creating new albums, etc. was part of the reason both couples split up
@@Pinksparklyunicornbarfdefinitely. You can’t rule that out. The fame took a toll on their personal lives.
Timeless. Innocent. Joyful. The Earth needs ABBA...for ever!
This is probably the video on which ABBA is most happy. The way Björn looks at Agnetha is so sweet.
This and Ring Ring as far as the early videos...and Waterloo, since Eurovision was their springboard to international success. Then, in their heyday/prime, I'd say they're pretty happy in Take A Chance On Me too, and maybe Summer Night City, since it's pretty much a tribute to Stockholm.
Id be happy too if i looked over and realized she was with me!
...um...EVERY guy looks at Agnetha that way!!

While true they used this production technique, without their immense talent it would have sounded like a wall of crap! LOL
CStomp1 yup. nothing beats pure Tallent.
Precisely! I've thought of that too. There's something about her voice that produces multiple voices.
Actually, Abba had a back up singers + Bjorn and Benny so in the chorus of their song we heard at least 6 voices.Check out their live performances,Abba had 3 back up singers.
The way that Bjorn looks Agnetha, is so lovely
I love how Bjorn looks at Agnetha.
Yeah he has only eyes for Agnetha... he loves her whreely
Only LOVE ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know how he feels.
The lyrics are so true, great melody ❤
Abba, you four are immortal!
Underrated ABBA Classic,
der song macht gute Laune. for ever abba.ich liebe sie.

Love ABBA
Underrated?! One of their best!!
Anni-Frid is amazing is this,
Agnetha is wearing my favourite kind of jeans! Viva 70'!!
Agree
An homage to Australia too. The country that fell in love with Abba like no other.
Tropical Loveland is another song they wrote about Australia... it has a reggae sound!
Amen to that true Statement!👍💖🎶
Why Australia ?
And New Zealand
Nope, written in 74, Bjorn just liked the word.
They are so adorable here!! At their peak popularity and giving so much positivity and pop ‘bang’ to their fans!!

This would have won Eurovision any year.
Такого больше не будет никогда! Наслаждайтесь 70-80 ыми !!!
Это истооия .мир😢
Frida and Agnetha were so bubbly and so fantastically beautiful how could anyone not love them or fall for them
ABBA was a fantastic group
ABBA's Tribute to Their OZ Fans. A Boomerang of Love, eh Guys.
These songs sound simple but are really sophisticated; plus there is a lot of work in voices and arrangements; it's musical excellence.
Smart people can hear the complexity. Their music wasn't easy to create. Their successful endeavors with writing musicals for Broadway and the fact classical musicians and condoctors admire them,prove that.
I think so
Plus some pretty extraordinary talent; not many have voices as beautiful as Agnetha & Anni-Frid.
Totally agree!!
Only those who know and admire ABBA know what excellence is... :))
This is definitely my favourite music group by far in all history of music
+Jorge Juan Rodríguez Ortega checkout my ABBA music lists.
They're great... but not a quarter as good as The Beatles.

A MILLION STARS !!!!!

This is what I've heard about the people of Sweden. They are very kind and caring people!
Aaaaah look at how Bjorn looks at Agnetha, such love! LOVE Frida's dancing at 1.20!! Top tune, top band
I think part of the reason why ABBA's singing of love songs were so believable because they were real couples and they felt every note and word they sang.
Always beautiful of course but in this particular video ( filmed in 1975) Agnetha’s beauty is absolutely spectacular
I can`t help smiling when I listen to ABBA

What a great message to the world!
You can see how much Bjorn is appreciating Agnetha's beauty and talent here and rightfully so! She was a blonde swedish Goddess💚💜💛
Después, se canso.
Какая она богиня, обычная. Бьорн не очень-то счастлив был, никогда не смотрел на нее. Так и расстались.
This song used to transport me to an otherworldy place when I was a little kid. ABBA took me out of my mundane existence for 3 minutes or so.
Un grupo impresionante despues de tantos años..su musica es fenomenal
Been an ABBA fan for 45 years. Out of all of their songs, I love this one the best. Love the harmony.

Always the same thing, waking up after watching ABBA videos for several hours. Dangerous to start watching an Abba video, then time disappears...
True 😂

Absolut! Man kann einfach nicht aufhören zu hören. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 😘🤩
A few beers and ABBA for hours is a great time well spent. I usually throw in some Roxette and REO Speedwagon as well.
