@@boki1693 They wheren´t the biggest band in europe, but the biggest from europe and in their prime the most successful band worldwide. Forbes magazine estimated they sold about 385mio. albums.
Welcome to ABBA, Now you´re falling in one of the biggest Rabbithole ever. Have a lot of Fun, just like me in 70´´ and 80´´. You´re just at the beginning. greets from Germany.
There's something that brings a tear to my eyes when I those beautiful voices together. They sound like angels. And that music just plays my emotions like a guitar . It was a simpler time when shaking your butt was all that mattered and dancing the night away. I could be having the worst day ever and this song just lifts me back up. Music at its best: just a small band rocking the night away with no CGI or digitally altered voices.
ABBA sang so many types of songs, with so many styles... they were, and always will be... a-freaking-mazing!!!!!!! Waterloo is my all time favorite of theirs.
When asked in an interview what her favorite song was that the band did, Anni-Frid Lyngstad (The dark haired girl) said "Dancing Queen" was her favorite! She basically said it was just a fun, uplifting song to do with a positive vibe.
Well, it *was* a mix of pop, schlager, folk, rock&roll, funk, disco and even classical. But isn't most of their upbeat songs pretty danceable? (Such as Angeleyes, Another Town Another Train, As Good As New, Does Your Mother Know, Gimme! Gimme!, He Is Your Brother, Head Over Heels, Hole In Your Soul, I Do, I Do, I Do, If It Wasn't For The Nights, Kisses Of Fire, Lay All Your Love On Me, Lovers live A Little Longer, Mamma Mia, Man In The Middle, Me And I, Nina, Pretty Ballerina, On And On, People Need Love, Ring Ring, So Long, Summer Night City, Super Trouper, Take A Chance On Me, That's Me, The King Has Lost His Crown, The Name Of The Game, The Visitors, Tiger, Tropical Loveland, Voulez vous, When I Kissed The Teacher, Why Did It Have To Be Me, etc.)
@@herrbonk3635 I wrote DANCEABLE (& stand by this comment), bc it was music fit for the dances of that period, namely: The Hustle, The Freak (popular in the NYC area) & The Bump which were current during the song's release. But thanks for the Abba education.
@@moanman1776 Ok then... DANCEABLE obviously means something almost entirely different than what I though, or assumed. English is not my language, as you probably understand.
@@herrbonk3635 No problem. Only wish I spoke/wrote/communicated in a language other than my own as clearly as your attempt. No harm. No foul. Have a Blessed day/evening.
I think when New Year's Eve of 1999 happened they had a show, it might have been the Top 100 songs of the last Century? I don't remember, but I do remember they concluded that ABBA was the greatest musical act of the last Century, I think because they were genuine discovered talent and made so many hits after they were discovered?
How do you fill the dance floor in the 🇬🇧? Simple, play “dancing queen” and the floor will be full of people dancing and singing, not just sing the chorus but the full song 🎶🎵
Me me! I love Donna Summer. The ultimate disco queen. Last Dance, I Feel Love, MacArthur's Park, She Work Hard for the Money; etc! All her songs were awesome🤗👍🏾🙆🏾♀️🎶❤
Thanks for the ABBA. This was shot in the dark haired girl's (Frida) favourite club. She was known for wearing all the guy's there out and still wanting to dance more. When Benny took the backing track and lyric's home to her for 1st time she teared up.
Was a dance first, then form of slang. JIVE: 1. a lively style of dance popular especially in the 1940s and 1950s, performed to swing music or rock and roll. 2. a form of slang associated with black American jazz musicians.
Jive is still a standard ballroom dance, danceable to a lot of pop/rock music. ua-cam.com/video/LMilE769YY8/v-deo.html Everyone doing dancing lessons in Europe (ie lots of 14yo all over central Europe and Scandinavia) learns it, even in the 2020s Note: white European Swedes of the 1980s dont use American slang much ... ;)
There is a really fun "live" version of this song. It was the song's premiere and it was a celebration for the marriage of Sweden's young King Carl XVI Gustaf and his bride Silvia, the night before their wedding. ABBA was in costumes of the Swedish court (like the late 1700s or early 1800s) and they sang the song for the new Queen Silvia. This was in 1976. King Carl and Queen Silvia are still together, and their daughter Victoria is the Crown Princess who will become Queen. The "Dancing Queen" was Queen Silvia of Sweden.
Fun facts:😊 1) ABBA: stood for the first letter of each of the four people in the groups first names. 2) At the time they consisted of two married couples (blonde girl was married to the brunette guy, brunette girl was married to the blonde guy). 3) They didn't know English when they initially started singing these songs, but eventually learned. 4) There are two movies out that showcase just their music called "Mama Mia". You may want to check them out. 🙂 5) ABBA was one of the big groups back in the seventies and their songs are still popular today.
Jive is basically another word for dance and it is a dance------- and Jive Talking -to say foolish, deceptive, or unserious things to (someone) He's jiving you. ♥
ABBA was unavoidable in the '70's. If you turned on the radio, you heard an ABBA song. They've taken a lot of flak for their Pop sound, but you just don't have that many hits and not have some good music sensibilities. Just like Blondie's "Heart of Glass," this song is from the disco era, and you can hear the influence in the music. This song brings back a lot of childhood memories, and you guys did a great job of reviewing it. Good Luck on the house!
"Jive" talk was bs or hustling kind of talk in the 70s.. A "jive turkey" was a hustler or bs-er. Also there was a slang language called "jive" that the pimps and hustlers would speak which made them smooth and cool 😎
I believe that after recording this track and hearing it back the girls were in tears because they knew what a special song this was and just knew how big it would be. xx Fab reaction as always xx
ABBA are the initials of the four band members; Anna-Frid Lyngstad (the brunette), Benny Andersson (the piano player), Bjorn Ulvaeus (guitarist), and Agnetha Faltskog, the blonde. They were born in Sweden, except for Anna, who was born in Norway. Her family moved to Sweden when she was very young. Neither of the ladies could speak English when they started out in the music business, but decided it would be best to learn English to be better received across the world. When Dancing Queen was a big hit here, I fell in love with my very own Dancing Queen. She asked me to the Twirp Dance (where the girls ask the guys). We dated for over a year, and we're still friends today. Happy memories! I enjoy your reactions.
Love this song, jive is term for swing, and rock n roll dancing, also for jazz, and talk rubbish, as in Jive Talking by the Bee Gees. Awesome reaction you were jiving lol, 😉🤗❤
Damn your joy give me tears, in Sweden we had " schooldances" on Fridays in all its simplicity but we had so fun ... Was like 10-11 when this one was going everywhere ❤️ 🕺
Hey , yall, great reaction! ABBA has like , Idk, like 40 songs & they are ALL awesome! And I love the fact that younger folks are getting down with "disco" music. I feel sad for young folks nowadays, cu, all the current "music", just plain sucks! 🥰
You guys Re Fn awesome and your girl is adorable you crack me up you guys rule ! Abba yeah Agnetha OMG the prettiest women i have ever seen in the universe
Loved your video....great vibes and so cool to watch you appreciate ABBA. You are roughly the same, sweet age that I was when this song was released!! ABBA (from Sweden), were megastars all over the world! So brilliant to have chosen English lyrics over Swedish for the world market. They were nothing short of a phenomenon. Btw, their use of the word “jive” most likely refers to an up-tempo swing type dance popular in the 1940’s - 1950’s. “You can dance, you can jive”.....it’s all about the dancing!! Keep rocking guys!
There are several meanings to the word jive but the one they're talking about in this song is an actual name of a dance that originated in the 1950s and was associated with rock and roll music.
"Jive" goes way back many many decades. Started with the "Hep Cats" of the early jazz era when they used to tear up the dance floor. Generally means talking the latest slang that is constantly evolving in pop culture
The second you started the video. Your reactions were priceless... You were hooked. Thats why they were mega stars back in the day Little side note they were from Sweden were very huge in the U.S
ABBA Was on of the biggest bands to be FORMED in the 1970s ALONG with Queen Boston Journey Areosmith AC,DC VAN HELEN AMBROSIA TOTO, WHITE SNAKE , KISS , BLONDIE , THE POLICE, THE CARS THEN EAGLES THE KNACK, BRUCE SPPRINSTEEN . BILLY JOEL JOHNH MELLON CAMP , FORIGNER ,,The 70s were FANTASTIC ,
haha loved how you commented as repesentatives of male and female species on " you're a teaser you turn em on - leave them burning and then you're - gone!" 😂 old story of men and women
Guys there used to be these indoor roller skating rinks- They’d play music of all kinds- Tgis was huge in Disco & all The roller rinks - You should look up old videos of they are around- Those roller rinks were more fun than any club you can imagine. Shame they are mostly gone
I literally dislocated my hip dancing to this song. I was 15 years old. If I was to repeat that dance today I would probably be in traction 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I bet you'd rock it.....a couple extra strength Tylenols you'll be right as the mail.
OMG that's funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
omg your too funny and adorable !! I was in traction both legs from a car accident ! I would dance on one leg thuogh because I love Agnetha my eyes go right to her she is so gorgeous I cant descrube it = perfection
Because you danced a bit too early. Got to dance at 17 years old 😅
Broke up for 40 years ago and still selling 2 millions records every year. WOW 🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️
Weren't they like the biggest band in Europe after the Beatles for awhile?
@@boki1693 They wheren´t the biggest band in europe, but the biggest from europe and in their prime the most successful band worldwide. Forbes magazine estimated they sold about 385mio. albums.
They’ve just reunited and put out a new album.

My niece played this during her wedding reception, EVERYONE danced! Young and old.....feeling eternally 17 and dancing queen! 😻🎶
This song has been the no.1 100% guarantee go-to wedding reception floor-filler in the UK for decades now. It's pure genius.

She also said she almost cried of joy when she first heard the beat and melody together, at home, before she did any of the vocals.
#1 hit song in the U.S.
What a joyful song and wonderful reaction! Thanks lovelies! 💯💯💯
The vibe is just happy
A great reaction to a great song . Fantastic .
One of the greatest songs. Ever. And possibly the first song I can really remember, as a (then) five year old child.
Jive is a dance!
Just might be the greatest pop song ever written!
70's music and 80's dancing.....They are so amusing.
Their biggest hit during the disco era
ABBA's biggest U.S. Hit.
Last song for pretty much every wedding DJ in the UK
Regardless of their Pop rep... this song was actually DANCEABLE! Real deal: ABBA was the isht in their time.
They're still da isht. Timeless music for all ages

They are back and releasing new music this year! One of their talents/tricks was writing up-beat songs in a minor key when no-one else was!
When i was a teen, (477yrs ago), I did not think much about ABBA, Boney M, etc... But I love the love they have been getting lately!
The ABBA-Masterpiece!! The girls are singing over 4 octaves? ! Genial.
One of the biggest hits of all time!
I remember dancing in the bars to this....and disco
Livy is Kae's Dancing Queen. Jive Dancing and Jive Talkin. LOL
“Fernando” and “Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie” are two there great songs by Abba. Honestly, it’s pretty impossible to find a bad Abba song, lol
