Their "problem" was they had too many hits. On the same album was Dancing queen, Knowing me knowing you. Two of their biggest hits, and also for instance Money money money, When I kissed the teacher, My love my life and Why did it have to be me. And their best selling single, Fernando, though it was added as a bonus later. It was the same thing with their previous album. They realeased So long and I do I do I do I do I do before they released SOS and then Mamma mia.
@@standersson6420 "Bang-A Boomerang" and "I"ve Been Waiting For You" on that album too. They basically had 6-7 hit-worthy songs on each album. It's incredible that these songs sound so good and fresh, even 45 years later. "That's Me" is also lifted by the great instrumentation - the keyboards, banjo(?!), drums and bass line are top notch.
@Marvin Morawski I don't understand this single thing really. I have never seen an Abba single. Why would the media matter, at all? Why would a 45 rpm disk be better than a 33 rpm one?
That third voice that was created by the melding of agnetha and Frida is pure magic and a thing of wonder ..its as if they've assimilated into a musical gestalt 🤔
one of my fav tracks , i listened to this track laying on my bed as a sad youth ,every one told me ABBA were crap . i said they were not and stood my ground. and now 40 years later i can stand proud.
I have heard every single song ABBA have ever recorded, and I own every record ever sold. I love all of their music, but This is my favorite song! Also you must hear a very beautiful song featured in the 80s album Super Trouper, "Andante, Andante," What a delight!
This is one of my top favorites because of how the whole song "glistens" - that is the only way I can thing of to describe it. It is a true feast for the ears - gorgeous song!
Brilliant album Arrival. My very first album I bought. The rest is history. A fun one to listen to from their Greatest hits Vol 1 is Nina pretty ballerina and I do I do I do I do I do.
The classic song of Abbas Thats 'me has me in goosebumps as pure produced studio production as this is Abba on overdrive. Their best album track overall to the golden buzzer needc to vote it out off the park
I played this B side more than the A side "dancing Queen" back then, and still prefer it over to Dancing queen to this day. Agnetha and Frida's harmonies are out of this world. Pure class
I agree! When I was a kid, I bought the 45 of 'Dancing Queen' with my allowance and 'That's Me' was the B-side. I wore both sides of that record OUT! lol
Dereck, you found another deep cut. It's always mystified me that this wasn't a single. So beautiful. So effortless - which is how pop songs should sound like. As if they'd just dropped from heaven. (Even though there may have been a lot of hard word to make them sound effortless.)
Im praising ABBA all the time here...and its no chance to stop with that,super song after super song comes out of this treasure trove of the best music in the world thats called ABBA..that even now,decades after their ending as a band,still keep us fascinated by their music..which other group can do that..not even Beatles..
Yes, the song was even included on that CD, although it was meant to be a compilation of her post ABBA career. Two other ABBA songs were included on the compilation as well, "The Winner Takes It All" and "Slipping Through My Fingers" but those were more obvious choices because she sang lead on these two.
Please tell me one group except Abba, that can create songs like this... the voices, the harmonies, the arrangements... I really forgot after all those years how good they were and to be true... still are.... with their new album Voyage.
I'm always surprised how instant and catchy this is despite there being no chorus. Quite extraordinary really. And as you say, the opening 20secs is enough to know its going to be good.
I only found this song on UA-cam this year, even though I ‘grew up’ with ABBA (12 to 22). Dereck your reaction exactly matched mine, this is one of my absolute favourites, I adore their video too, Frida and Anna really put their heart and souls into each individual song! I love your videos, I’ve been watching them for days, I’ve learned so much from you too. Thank you so much Sweetie 🤗🌹
This song has all the Abba hallmarks. Pure Gold. Pure Joy. Pop Perfection. It's criminal that it was a B side (to Dancing Queen). Should have been a single.
The problem is that the album "Arrival" have all good songs and some masterpieces Dancing Queen Money money money Knowing me knowing you was the three singles (and worldwide hit too) from "Arrival" Just think that "My love my life" maybe could be a single too
That's Me is in the same class as: Dance, Watch Out, So Long, Hey Hey Helen, and The King Has Lost His Crown....Absolutely brilliant classics that should've been singles...
I used to play this album back in the 70's in my Panasonic Stereo component in my home town of Vieques (island) in the puerto rican achipelago. What sweet memories of youth it brings. I was always listening to ABBA back then and now in 2021, being a few decades older, I'm still listening to ABBA with the same pleasure as when I was in my late teens. Their music transcends age,time and space. Thank God for ABBA.
Thanks Dereck, I was sure you would love it. To be honest this is one of your best reactions, for me. This song is better than the air play it got. You made my day.
"Cuz I'm Larry, big and thick and super hairy... THAT'S ME!" This one plays at the 19 Bar, the oldest gay bar in Minneapolis all the time. My friends and I like to make up lyrics.
One of my favourite ABBA songs, but not one of the better known ones. So surprised it was blocked. Appreciate the effort you go to, so that we can still see it. Glad you loved it.
I love this song because it showcases Agnethas lower register vocal and it blends so well with Fridas mezza. This song at one time was Agnethas favourite song. ❤
You made my day with this reaction!! This is on my top 3 ABBA songs and I was waiting for a long time for you to react to it haha, the Arrival album is full of amazing songs. Another one that kinda goes into the same energy from the same album is Dum Dum Diddle (I love to play one right after the other one)
Was eagerly awaiting your reaction on this one, and finally you selected it! One of my favourite Abba songs, awesome!! Guaranteed to make you go bananas!
ALMOST my favourite ABBA track, and so pleased you finally got to it Dereck! Such a catchy song. I love how you hear tracks like this one for the first time and fall in love with them - just as I did when they were released all those years ago! Xx
Dude! Finally!! This song was not snuck in as you said at the end of your reaction. There have been tons of requests from your subscribers myself included and I am so glad to see how you were hooked from the get go. The first time I heard it I had one of those moments when you are totally immersed in the sounds which are bombarding your senses in a good way. And believe me, you will be singing this song by memory in very short order and you’ll be doing it with complete confidence because this song hooks you to the point where you know every single nuance of the transitions, the harmonies, the synths, tie drum pattern and breaks in the flow, etc. To me I think it’s probably their most under appreciated and under recognized songs and that is too bad because it still sounds amazing to this day. And I think that the portion of the video with Agnetha and Frida side by side both facing camera outside in natural lighting, Frida looks the best of any ABBA video I’ve seen her in as well as Knowing Me, Knowing You where she looked flawless also.
Thank you so much for reacting and really appreciating the genius of ABBA-so enjoy all you react videos but particularly ABBA-take a look at the Live performance of Does Your Mama Know-Hole in Your Sole at Wembley-So much energy and a fun watch!! They were just Great Live-wish there was more!!
Don't need to see ABBA when the gorgeous Dereck is sitting there and going mad for their music!! 💕 Hope your cold gets better in time for the next ABBA selection, Dez!! Look after yourself!! 💝
For someone who has loved ABBA from back when they started up, it is pure bliss watching you react to their songs. This song is everything, like so many of their songs are. 💕 Great reaction, and clearly authentic. Thank you! 🥰
What a beautiful song!!!! The arrangements are awsome, another hidden gem, a shame it ins't in compilations (only on the 3 cd special reissue of ABBA Gold)... Love this song, love your reaction!!!
Glad to know that not only does Dereck go "Bananaz" for ABBA, he also goes "Melty" 😃🎶💖 ...and I totally understand, I've been melting via ABBA since 1976 😁🐨🤩😍👍
Great selection, thank you!!! Yet another example of the greatness of ABBA!!! Just because a song wasn't well known has no reflection upon quality!!! I absolutely love this song, can't know and love ABBA without!!! 💜💜💜
I think your latest reaction being this excited for an ABBA song is "Put On Your White Sombrero". Remember since I had that song playing in my head over and over again after hearing it here . And also the next day at work. Like an itch (Likeable though). Yay :-)
This my FAVOURITE SONG by ABBA EVER I mean I love them all and there are other classics up there as my close favourites and critically better. Personally for this just speaks to me. And it’s an album track. Ironically a b side. I’ve recently become a paetron so I hope this down to me although I don’t care really. Just you Derrick my friend is giving it a listen can’t wait to hear and see you reaction
That's Me is probably the most underrated song of ABBA. Just WOW. I am so moved by the story of the song plus the melody that really captures the drama of its story. It's about sentiments of a Bar girl who wishes t be the Cinderella of her client but sadly the reality is "I'm Carrie not the kind of girl that you'd marry, that's me (just a poor bar girl and that's just me)".. Great, great review, Derrick!
I love disillusion , She's my kind of girl. Intermezzo no 1 Happy Hawaii ( musice from why did it have to be me,) Get on thecarousel Lovers ( live a little longer ) from ABBA in switzerland
Hey Dereck .. I think the last ABBA song that got you this excited was "Elaine", where you approved it after only 1 minute and 6 seconds ! .. Elaine is one of my favourite ABBA songs too 👍 .. But as you have said, there are NO bad ABBA songs .. Just good ones and great ones ! .. Cheers, Wayne
The B side to Dancing Queen. It should've been the USA followup! Such an incredible song. Does anyone else see how this could fit into the Sex and the City sequel "And Just Like That?" -"I'm Carrie not the kind of girl you'd marry- that's me!" Ha!
You've gotta react to "I've Been Waiting For You" { Germania '76} , beautiful video and one of my personal favorites from ABBA, and I think this song fully captures the essence of what makes an ABBA song great.
I was hoping that you were going to react to this song. It's one of my favorites and always has been. I haven't listened to these songs in many years they are all bringing tears to my eyes. Your reaction and your enthusiasm for the song just makes it that much more special.
This is the song that Agnetha loves more when australian jornalist ask Them in an interview at Sweden (while Frida chose Dancing Queen) It's a B-side of Dancing Queen official single in U.K. fantastic song in an amazing and iconic "Arrival" album For next reactions try "Tiger" from the same album
This is one of a few ABBA songs guaranteed to make me go, 'all gooey', when listening to it. The whole, 'come on', style, not only of the lyrics, but the song as a whole, regresses me back to the shy, 6 year old who first saw this, 'promotional film', (they weren't videos back then), on TV, all those years ago. Physically impossible not to fall in love with both Anni-Frid and Agnetha in this one. 'I do, I do, I do, I do, I do', would be an interesting follow-up to this one. Also:- 'Rock Me' 'People Need Love' 'Nina, Pretty Ballerina' 'Bang A-Boomerang' 'Tiger'

Even if this was the b side to Dancing queen,and even though Dancing Queen was their biggest single sucess song,this song Thats me is in my ears,even more sweet then dancing queen.
@Marvin Morawski The problem is that the album "Arrival" have all good songs and some masterpieces Dancing Queen Money money money Knowing me knowing you was the three singles (and worldwide hit too) from "Arrival" Just think that "My love my life" maybe could be a single too
This is one truly awesome album. track as wben you see this a studio based track hard to produce live on stage With today's tbis would be a grest track to see on the Abbataurs show ciming in Autumn 2022 4 sure Cant wait Tnis track is moreish Live and active ABBA at their true best Seen the fab swedes 4 times live so go jealous 👍🇸🇪

Glad we can see it here Dereck.
I didn't notice any blocked parts. Has it been unblocked?
@@Schleicher65 just the abba video
Like an Eagle flying with a dove 🕊.. what more can you say ....ABBA HAS NO BAD SONG'S....SO DIFFICULT FOR THEM .TO PICK.. FROM THERE GENIUS....?.
All of their songs are good. Welcome to the ABBA forever fans.
My favourite Abba song
One of their best songs, should have been a massive single.
Their "problem" was they had too many hits. On the same album was Dancing queen, Knowing me knowing you. Two of their biggest hits, and also for instance Money money money, When I kissed the teacher, My love my life and Why did it have to be me.
And their best selling single, Fernando, though it was added as a bonus later.
It was the same thing with their previous album.
They realeased So long and I do I do
I do I do I do before they released SOS and then Mamma mia.
@@standersson6420 "Bang-A Boomerang" and "I"ve Been Waiting For You" on that album too. They basically had 6-7 hit-worthy songs on each album. It's incredible that these songs sound so good and fresh, even 45 years later. "That's Me" is also lifted by the great instrumentation - the keyboards, banjo(?!), drums and bass line are top notch.
was released as a single in JAPAN only
@Marvin Morawski I don't understand this single thing really. I have never seen an Abba single. Why would the media matter, at all? Why would a 45 rpm disk be better than a 33 rpm one?
It was in the USA..the flip side of Dancing Queen
I swear two voices never went better ..together
That third voice that was created by the melding of agnetha and Frida is pure magic and a thing of wonder ..its as if they've assimilated into a musical gestalt 🤔
Oh so true!!!!!
Frida and Agnetha were meant to sing together!! Heaven sent. All 4 of them together are pure musical magic!!!!
These girls were/are musical magic and were sent from God to lift our spirits...better than anyone...
Best harmonies in the business.
my absolute favorite...Agnetha's too by the way.....xoxoxoxoxo
ABBA is Gods gift to music lovers. 🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️
Finally! This is my favorite ABBA song!
And I thought I was the only one in the world that loved this song
No this is my favourite to!
Haha no . I suspect there’s lots of us that love this.
Not my favourite but I listen to it a lot
one of my fav tracks , i listened to this track laying on my bed as a sad youth ,every one told me ABBA were crap . i said they were not and stood my ground. and now 40 years later i can stand proud.
I have heard every single song ABBA have ever recorded, and I own every record ever sold. I love all of their music, but This is my favorite song! Also you must hear a very beautiful song featured in the 80s album Super Trouper, "Andante, Andante," What a delight!
It's one of theirs where the voices of the girls are indistinguishable. So compatible to form the famous 'third voice'.
Exactly. That third voice was magic.
Once down the ABBA rabbit hole,there is no way back ;-)
This is one of my top favorites because of how the whole song "glistens" - that is the only way I can thing of to describe it. It is a true feast for the ears - gorgeous song!
So true!!! it´s been my favorite to,all this years!!!!
Brilliant album Arrival. My very first album I bought. The rest is history. A fun one to listen to from their Greatest hits Vol 1 is Nina pretty ballerina and I do I do I do I do I do.
The classic song of Abbas Thats 'me has me in goosebumps as pure produced studio production as this is Abba on overdrive. Their best album track overall to the golden buzzer needc to vote it out off the park

I was sure you would love this song! This is the pure ABBA magic sound at its best!
Love this song. Dont get why it is not more well known!!
I agree! When I was a kid, I bought the 45 of 'Dancing Queen' with my allowance and 'That's Me' was the B-side. I wore both sides of that record OUT! lol
My favorite song off the Arrival album
It is good, a good song. It melted me, melted me. Listening just made me melt. It made me bananas, bananas. This was right up my alley.
Unbelievable, i am swedish and ABBA-fan since the 70s but i haven't heard this one before, strange, i just love it love it. Thank you Dereck.
Dereck, you found another deep cut. It's always mystified me that this wasn't a single. So beautiful. So effortless - which is how pop songs should sound like. As if they'd just dropped from heaven. (Even though there may have been a lot of hard word to make them sound effortless.)
Awesome!! Very beautiful uptempo track
My favorite Abba song ever!
Mine to!!!!
Simply love your ABBA reactions , ❤️🤗Thanks Dereck !!
Lots more ABBA Deep Cuts out there! Insanely Great Reaction, thank you! xxx
Im praising ABBA all the time here...and its no chance to stop with that,super song after super song comes out of this treasure trove of the best music in the world thats called ABBA..that even now,decades after their ending as a band,still keep us fascinated by their music..which other group can do that..not even Beatles..
So true. This kind of music never goes out of style - it only keeps on growing. Fascinating really. What these 4 produced in a span of 10 years.
My favourite ABBA song! I swear you can hear a Banjo...
This, along with Winner..., is Agnetha’s favourite ABBA song - she even named a compilation cd of her career That’s Me
Yes, the song was even included on that CD, although it was meant to be a compilation of her post ABBA career. Two other ABBA songs were included on the compilation as well, "The Winner Takes It All" and "Slipping Through My Fingers" but those were more obvious choices because she sang lead on these two.
Thanks Derek for reacting to this song.....still one of my favorite. Please react to their classic song, THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC .....
Love it when you get excited, like a happy pup :)
Please tell me one group except Abba, that can create songs like this... the voices, the harmonies, the arrangements... I really forgot after all those years how good they were and to be true... still are.... with their new album Voyage.
A-Ha they are brilliant too ..do listen too their albums especially hunting high n low
Bee Gees
All is said !!! "It's so good" 😍😍
One of my absolute favourites! 💕 The harmonies are just perfect.
So good, i nusst cry ...
That's the sign of a great song when you immediately want to hear it again.
Love background vocals in this one, and sort of melancholic about melody
Always good when it comes to Abba... Of course 😜
I'm always surprised how instant and catchy this is despite there being no chorus. Quite extraordinary really. And as you say, the opening 20secs is enough to know its going to be good.
Love this one! The keyboards and drums are are so much fun. Should have been a single.
I listen to the song all the time! I love it!
It´s my favorite of theres!!!
I only found this song on UA-cam this year, even though I ‘grew up’ with ABBA (12 to 22).

The problem is that the album "Arrival" have all good songs and some masterpieces
Dancing Queen
Money money money
Knowing me knowing you
was the three singles (and worldwide hit too) from "Arrival"
Just think that "My love my life" maybe could be a single too
I totally agree read my reaction x
also do you not LOVE the part at 4:07 where the boys do the "no-no-no-no-nothings" part? it's such a fun part of the song!
That's Me is in the same class as: Dance, Watch Out, So Long, Hey Hey Helen, and The King Has Lost His Crown....Absolutely brilliant classics that should've been singles...

One of my favourite ABBA songs, but not one of the better known ones. So surprised it was blocked. Appreciate the effort you go to, so that we can still see it. Glad you loved it.
Tnx for the review of their songs...Welcome Back ABBA...💖💙💛
This is classic ABBA harmonies and melody. 👍😉

Another absolutely great song. It once again shows that every of their album songs could have hit the Charts.
Love this song
So good see someone get so excited about ABBA's music which I have loved since 1974! Your reactions are priceless!!
“If it wasn’t for the nights” ABBA- Is one you’ll like!!!!! I love it!!
He has already react to this song ;-)
@@Lisa-M Thanks love. I'll think of an alternative. :)

It's on the ABBA Arrival album. That's where I first heard it. I bought the LP back in the 70's.
I have always loved this song. ❤
Glad to know that not only does Dereck go "Bananaz" for ABBA, he also goes "Melty" 😃🎶💖 ...and I totally understand, I've been melting via ABBA since 1976 😁🐨🤩😍👍
Oh Dereck,i love what you do.I am so. Happy for this Song I love Abba so .You are the best!
Great selection, thank you!!! Yet another example of the greatness of ABBA!!! Just because a song wasn't well known has no reflection upon quality!!! I absolutely love this song, can't know and love ABBA without!!! 💜💜💜
One of my favorites of theirs, thanks! (if you liked this, you may like Hey, Hey Helen)
it´s my favorite to
I think your latest reaction being this excited for an ABBA song is "Put On Your White Sombrero". Remember since I had that song playing in my head over and over again after hearing it here . And also the next day at work. Like an itch (Likeable though). Yay :-)
Dum Dum Diddle, pure melody.
There is a banjo being played, peppered through out, and when you hear it, it's "going bannanas" :))
So glad you loved it! It’s one of my favourites too.
The whole Arrival album is great. Also check out the ballad ‘I’ve been waiting for you’.
This my FAVOURITE SONG by ABBA EVER I mean I love them all and there are other classics up there as my close favourites and critically better. Personally for this just speaks to me. And it’s an album track. Ironically a b side. I’ve recently become a paetron so I hope this down to me although I don’t care really. Just you Derrick my friend is giving it a listen can’t wait to hear and see you reaction
Love how animated you are with the music, reminds me of me! LOL
I always loved this song so much , played it way more than the A side Dancing Queen
That's Me is probably the most underrated song of ABBA. Just WOW. I am so moved by the story of the song plus the melody that really captures the drama of its story. It's about sentiments of a Bar girl who wishes t be the Cinderella of her client but sadly the reality is "I'm Carrie not the kind of girl that you'd marry, that's me (just a poor bar girl and that's just me)".. Great, great review, Derrick!
Why underrated? Classic and best-known
I love disillusion ,
She's my kind of girl.
Intermezzo no 1
Happy Hawaii ( musice from why did it have to be me,)
Get on thecarousel
Lovers ( live a little longer ) from ABBA in switzerland
Hey Dereck .. I think the last ABBA song that got you this excited was "Elaine", where you approved it after only 1 minute and 6 seconds ! .. Elaine is one of my favourite ABBA songs too 👍 .. But as you have said, there are NO bad ABBA songs .. Just good ones and great ones ! .. Cheers, Wayne
Thx for the nice reaction again
"I do I do I do I do I do" and "Hey Hey Helen" ?
Best 'B' side ever!
The B side to Dancing Queen. It should've been the USA followup! Such an incredible song. Does anyone else see how this could fit into the Sex and the City sequel "And Just Like That?" -"I'm Carrie not the kind of girl you'd marry- that's me!" Ha!
You've gotta react to "I've Been Waiting For You" { Germania '76} , beautiful video and one of my personal favorites from ABBA, and I think this song fully captures the essence of what makes an ABBA song great.
One of the best albums in the 70's, Dereck these guys were as big as the Beatles at one point, these guys were very underestimated
One of my all time favourites❤❤
I was hoping that you were going to react to this song. It's one of my favorites and always has been. I haven't listened to these songs in many years they are all bringing tears to my eyes. Your reaction and your enthusiasm for the song just makes it that much more special.
This is the song that Agnetha loves more when australian jornalist ask Them in an interview at Sweden
(while Frida chose Dancing Queen)
It's a B-side of Dancing Queen official single in U.K.
fantastic song in an amazing and iconic "Arrival" album
For next reactions try "Tiger"
from the same album
That’s Molly, right? I love that interview.
40 years since breakup and still selling 2 millions records every year 🎶❤️
They never actually broke up
@@lisacrane3143 Yes they did. They did quit playing and recording and touring. But their sales and the power of ABBA never stopped...
@@krisa990 it was never an official breakup
@tim lodge they have been saying this for past three years
@tim lodge they have been saying it for yrs. should have been released regardless of the pandemic and ABBAtars
It's like listening to a carnival
This is one of a few ABBA songs guaranteed to make me go, 'all gooey', when listening to it. The whole, 'come on', style, not only of the lyrics, but the song as a whole, regresses me back to the shy, 6 year old who first saw this, 'promotional film', (they weren't videos back then), on TV, all those years ago. Physically impossible not to fall in love with both Anni-Frid and Agnetha in this one.
'I do, I do, I do, I do, I do', would be an interesting follow-up to this one.
Also:-
'Rock Me'
'People Need Love'
'Nina, Pretty Ballerina'
'Bang A-Boomerang'
'Tiger'
He has already reacted to Rock Me ;-)
Abba : my children like "super trooper" and "knowing me knowing you" ... But there's so much choices

Fantastic list!! I have made my requests as a Patreon for "My Mama Said" and "Hey Hey Helen." Just patiently waiting for Dereck to get to them. 😁
@@scottarooni MY GOD 🤩 Both of them are just SOOOO GOOOOD 😍😍😍 I just can't describe in words how much I love ABBA and all of their songs 😅😁🥰
Well done !!! Good job 👍👍
@@opicatchu2164 thanks a lot 😁🥰
Great list, I see it on several Dereck ABBA videos! I think “Undeleted” deserves a spot here, too! 🙂
Even if this was the b side to Dancing queen,and even though Dancing Queen was their biggest single sucess song,this song Thats me is in my ears,even more sweet then dancing queen.
@Marvin Morawski
The problem is that the album "Arrival" have all good songs and some masterpieces
Dancing Queen
Money money money
Knowing me knowing you
was the three singles (and worldwide hit too) from "Arrival"
Just think that "My love my life" maybe could be a single too
This is one truly awesome album. track as wben you see this a studio based track hard to produce live on stage With today's tbis would be a grest track to see on the Abbataurs show ciming in Autumn 2022 4 sure Cant wait Tnis track is moreish Live and active ABBA at their true best Seen the fab swedes 4 times live so go jealous 👍🇸🇪
