Swedish melancholy. Smiling through tears. Long dark sad winter days. Long sunny happy summer days. Major emotional contrast from peak winter to peak summer. This is ABBA music in a nutshell. Their songs are about the human condition. Their entire catalog in total is about living life through its ups and downs, but in the end, all is gonna be ok.
You can find similar melancholy in a lot of Swedish musicians material, so many of them discographies full of tunes that give the same/similar feeling. Few have ever come close to utilize it as well as ABBA did, though. Swe metal bands like Opeth and Katatonia built their sound(s) with it in mind. Most of the most popular Swedish lullabies reek of this melancholy and it's present in a lot of classic Swedish literature. That is its origin
Oh! This comment is so recent! It's nice to see that though years has passed, people, whether old or young, still come here! This song is truly amazing ^^
I remember my uncle, when he was a young man, listening to this song back in the early 80s, in a small, remote village in Sri Lanka, far removed from modernity. He even had an ABBA poster hanging on the wall of his room. It's incredible how music has the power to transcend time, place, culture, etc, connecting us to moments and emotions.
My mom absolutely loved ABBA and I grew up listening to them with her. She passed away in 1997 and every time I hear their music I am left with happy memories back to those days
My mother introduced me to ABBA when I was just a little kid! I am now 18 and enjoying ABBA more than ever!!! Let's carry the legacy of those songs forever!!!
Abba will always be one of the best bands EVER. They have made COUNTLESS classics, and they always manage to make some of the BEST classics. A LEGENDARY BAND, AND I DARE YOU TO PROVE ME WRONG.
My teacher has died recently and her daughter was a dancer so this song was played at her funeral and the only way for me to cope is to listen to it over and over crying with every play. I miss her man
The shots of the young girls dancing 'having the time of their lives', it brings joy to watch unharmed innocence. There is a kindness to this song that says 'hey I see you going through a tough time, come in and let it out, it's ok we don't judge'. A lot of music and art judges you if you aren't carrying the weight of the world. The way they sing 'you can dance' reminds you that you are allowed to feel beautiful things but somehow you forgot about that... This song makes me feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thanks.
That's true that there's a lot of joy and hope in this song, but there's also sadness hidden between it's lines - that the glorious moments on the dancefloor of youth don't last forever, so savor every moment of it while you can.
@@JeWeL4578 Yeah, I couldn't figure out a right name for the handle, and that day, my brother kept making these nuts jokes. So after losing my cool, I was like, "Screw it, handle these nuts!" AND it worked. Haha.
I've never been a massive ABBA fan by any measure, but this is clearly one of those songs we should be broadcasting into space as an example of human cultural accomplishment.
@@Ruby16663 But I'm Swedish! That should count for something! Björn and Benny have written some phenomenal musicals I think. Like Kristina från Duvemåla.
I'm a 56 year old Metal head who sadly poked fun at this band in the 80's...I've seen the error of my immature youthful ways and am here to tell you I love this band and this song!! Iron Maiden and Abba forever.
It's amazing that these four gentle and kind people could create such a bouncy song that gets your heart and body dancing. They are such wonderful geniuses.
I’ve been a rock musician for decades, and I think musically these songs are so well crafted and melodic, and sung beautifully. I think ABBA is one of a kind. We will never see another group like this.
I never knew who they were till this day and I am in my 70s. Those two women are absolutely beautiful and I now have a major crush from afar. The musicians look pretty darn cool.
They even made a Spanish version of it. Since back then the music market in Spanish speaking countries was Spanish-only. Glad we moved forward. I wish soon English speaking countries can join the world, just like we did, and start listening to more songs in different languages, you're missing out, people
I never get tired of Dancing Queen. I was around when this song was released. I am 64 on the 23rd and I shall still be turning the volume up and singing along, even though I cant sing
From when I was in junior high school until now I have gray hair and have 2 boys. Still faithfully listening to ABBA songs. THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK. December 14, 2024 UJUNG TIBU Village, West Tojo District, Tojo Una-Una Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, INDONESIA.
This song has a very special meaning to me. My grandma past because of cancer and she took a hard fight for three whole years. I loved her and she loved me very dearly. She loved abba, and since I do ballet she would say "sadie ray, you are the dancing queen." And every time I miss her i just sing this song.
The fact that this song is still played at the student parties, can tell us about its eternity. I am 25 now and I will not be surprised if my future grandchildren also dance and enjoy their youth to this song.
Your generation is why I wish I was born at you’re time. The graphics of video games were so crisp. Music was a bop. The soundboards in Films were amazing. Now life is just sad.
45years old song this year and still sounds so fresh. I was 15 in Summer of 1976,now 60 and love ABBA even more. The world has a classic,timeless song. Greetings from Cork, Ireland.
I am 14 and I love 70s and 80s music, especially ABBA, thanks to my parents (who are close to your age). Modern music will never be able to compare in my opinion. We are from Morgantown, West Virginia, USA 💕
@@laurend2182 greetings from Ireland. ..I was your age when this brilliant song was released. ...I love it now as much as then....I hope you still listen to it in 45 years time....😉
One of, the greatest, if not *THE* greatest pop song ever. It's 45 years old and still sounds amazingly fresh. It really, finally turned me on to ABBA back in 1976 and I still listen to it now, in wonderment and never tire of it!
holy crap really it's from the 70's? i alway thought it was an early 2000's song like all the other songs kids liked from back them. plus if im not mistaken it gets played on the modern music station. the one with mnm and lady gaga etc.
@@bland9876 Yep, it's really from the 70's 😉 I think "Mamma Mia," and a number of films with ABBA songs running through them, like "Muriel's Wedding" and "Priscilla Queen of The Desert," may've given younger people the impression that this and other songs are more "recent!" But, ABBA in so far as their international success is concerned, were hit making from around 1974-1982. Says something about their lasting impact, that people are still enjoying their output today!
ABBA is legendary. I can’t believe it’s their first time to be nominated at the Grammys. How did the Grammy keeps on ignoring for decades. Anyway, congratulations, ABBA! ❤️🔥 This song is phenomenal and known from every corner of the world. This is the kind of music that lasts every generation.
Kenny Blankenship what do you mean by unadulterated? If you danced endlessly at the time, was that because you had no mobile phones in '77 to keep checking? No mobile phones that spoiled the flow of a good night out?
Hats off to you man, not a lot of guys will admit what you just said. I love this song, because it makes me think of mom. She's a huge ABBA fan, and will proudly sing and dance along!
I'm watching this video for research - writing a short story set a hundred years in the future where pop music is banned. A group of friends aim to summon ABBA from the past...
raccoonization I’m guessing ur 17? Trust me I felt like that when I was 17 but boi I’m 21 now and I can tell u 17 was young and sweet and I took it for granted.
I remember my mom listening to this song when I was very young and I loved it . Today I decided to remember all songs of my childhood . I really miss those beautiful days a lot . thanks ABBA for being a part of my childhood you are always in my heart 💗
I was in 8th grade (December 1976), we had an after school evening dance. I was in love with one of the prettiest girls in school (she barely knew I existed). It took everything I had to ask her to dance to this song. We danced... the following Monday back in school, she still didn't know I existed. Thanks for the memories Lisa. Well, at least my memory, obviously not yours.
The song might sound very simple! But it has been composed very smartly, and has been produced and sung with so much heart that’s why it gives such a nostalgic feeling!🤗 I love ABBA and I covered this wonderful and gorgeous song for my 17th birthday! It would mean the world to me if you saw it.🤗🦋💕
One of the most instantly-recognizable, universally-beloved songs ever performed. If music can unite the world, this is it. Who doesn't adore this song, and want to break out in spontaneous dance moves when they hear it? Rockers, classicists, country music fans, disco-goers etc - there is something wonderful for everyone here!
I've been wedding DJ twice. I'm not a professional DJ. But I know what people like. So, of course, this is in my playlist. A lot of ABBA. A 'professional DJ' wouldn't be as good.
I'm a 90's kid and with how music evolves every single day/months/years, i can say that ABBA songs will never be forgotten and we'll come back here again and again
The reason is our fear of growing old and losing our youth. The fact that we can never be younger than this moment. The fact that we won't stay 17 forever. You cry because you are just letting go of these feelings. Accepting your fate. Accepting this fact of life.
I was 16 years old when it came out, and I love it even better now than then..absolutely brilliant song, and it’s great to see that young people love it now too
nothing magical really, no contest , just some vilage girl dancing and think she is a fk Qeeen ,, every boy now wants to be a Qeen and do shitFORliving
I was a Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, etc. junkie back then but the one pop group whose albums were in my collection was ABBA. They had a unique, big wall of sound and combined with those girl's vocal harmonies they were like no other before or since.
Max A Million. It's one of those things that was odd. You would hear what seemed like a lot of people saying things like ABBA was too commercial and was too soft. But here's the thing. ABBA was selling their records right and left plus they went up on the top 10 and 20 charts world wide. At the time I was playing in some Garagebands we played mostly the harder stuff but I wanted to get chick singers I felt people would like it better and I still think I was right but I was the only one in that group of musicians that had that opinion. At that time I was also listening to Olivia Newton John and the Carpenters but I kept that at a low profile.
this song reminds me so much of my mum...she passed away in februrary 2020. as a kid i watched her dancing through our appartment so often...she will always be a dancing queen, young and sweet and having the time of her life...miss you, mum....1946-2020 🖤
I love this song! I think it is one of the most beautiful of Abba's songs. I love this song! I think it is one of the most beautiful songs by Abba. I love this song! I think it's one of Abba's most beautiful songs. I like Abba. I love gramma. Obviously!
Totally regretting not requesting this song at prom two years ago. The DJ was just playing a bunch of random rap songs no one even knew. Now this would have been fun on the dance floor! I bet prom back in the day was awesome with music like this.
Cindy Le My friends at my prom MADE SURE to request only 70s and 80s xD No one knew how to dance to them, but all of my friends danced our asses off. This was three years ago ;D
Skwisgaar4256 - I'm so glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s because I LOVED to dance. The last time I went out dancing (still many years ago), the club was playing industrial/techno type music. Couldn't stand it. Never went back.
Cindy Le Proms were indeed awesome in the 70's. True. Everyone danced and had a good time... No one cared what you looked like dancing 'cuz the music had everyone's attention and we all felt it.
OMG!! 65 here!!!! Funny how a song takes you back to when times were innocent and simple. Smiling and crying at the same time. Thanks for the memories 🥰🥰🥰🌹
@@americangirldollsrule6513 I've started listening these songs since 10/11 years old. Something about it makes me really happy (I'm a year older than you lol)
Still listening to it almost everyday for years. It's my cup of coffee, my morning shower, my reason to smile and dance! It gives me more energy than anything else!
Bem lembrado este trio fantástico , Abba, Queen ,Bee Gees segue uma lista interminável do pop rock. internacional. Notamos que até a música internacional caiu a sua qualidade, no Brasil então, nomes raros surgiram no cenário da MPB nos últimos 20 anos. Se você discorda perdoa-me mas, nossos artistas atuais: simpatia, beleza, empatia sobram mas, talento???????
@@zangoru king hezekiah is a real person in history, also pontious pilot, Alexander the great...the ppl in Noah's time were also laughing like you and the great flood swept them away
They manage to put that feeling into every song. A kind of heartbreaking happiness and longing to hold something that just can't be.
Nicely put sir
I agree wholeheartedly

Their songs are about the human condition. Their entire catalog in total is about living life through its ups and downs, but in the end, all is gonna be ok.

I don't know why, but there is something about ABBA music instrumentals. It's unique!
Dynamic musicianship. .
What you said.... and for a group whose English is their second -- I can understand every word. More than I can say for most of today's music.
Back when musicians ACTUALLY were talented and had to carry a tune.
This song is in A major, with lots of accidentals. Nobody else uses that key. 6 sharps!

I'm watching this video for research - writing a short story set a hundred years in the future where pop music is banned. A group of friends aim to summon ABBA from the past...
You are right.Hello from Poland😊
The time pharadox
My favourite Abba song closely followed by When I Kissed the Teacher, then Fernando. Christmas 2024.
This is honestly the happiest song ever and I have so many memories attached to this song
same here! ... A.B.B.A. - "Thank You For The Music" - forsure, an important Milestone in music-history! 😃.
in fact, this is the saddest song ever
Don't stop me now - Queen.
But this music is amazing!
Listen "Nina Pretty Ballerina". It is an earlier attempt of Dancing Queen
Je partage !!! Quel bonheur ....
44 YEARS LATER,STILL A HUGE HIT.AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE.GREETINGS TO ALL ABBA FANS FROM SERBIA!
Man stay safe there being seeing cops beating people for no random reason
And back at ya from hot, hot Austin, Texas! Best group ever.
Greetings to you from Trinidad West Indies
I didn't expect to see another fellow serbian-
pozdrav iz Rumunije!...ABBA forever!
“Young and sweet only 17” don’t make me start crying
At 17, you don't feel young and sweet. You feel old, gray and sour.
raccoonization I’m guessing ur 17? Trust me I felt like that when I was 17 but boi I’m 21 now and I can tell u 17 was young and sweet and I took it for granted.
😜

I remember my mom listening to this song when I was very young and I loved it . Today I decided to remember all songs of my childhood . I really miss those beautiful days a lot . thanks ABBA for being a part of my childhood you are always in my heart 💗

Im here for that too 😁
I was in 8th grade (December 1976), we had an after school evening dance. I was in love with one of the prettiest girls in school (she barely knew I existed). It took everything I had to ask her to dance to this song. We danced... the following Monday back in school, she still didn't know I existed. Thanks for the memories Lisa. Well, at least my memory, obviously not yours.
Let's insert a minute of silence for this fallen brother
@@MPott81 Yeah, payed attention to everybody but me...
@@Sammy-id2nz I Appreciate that brother

This song is on another level with the melody and everything takes you to another dimension.
The song might sound very simple! But it has been composed very smartly, and has been produced and sung with so much heart that’s why it gives such a nostalgic feeling!🤗
I love ABBA and I covered this wonderful and gorgeous song for my 17th birthday! It would mean the world to me if you saw it.🤗🦋💕
in all the songs where the composer sometimes is not even seen I think they should get more props
Masih enak di dengar di tahun 2024,tak terkalahkan oleh zaman
One of the most instantly-recognizable, universally-beloved songs ever performed. If music can unite the world, this is it. Who doesn't adore this song, and want to break out in spontaneous dance moves when they hear it? Rockers, classicists, country music fans, disco-goers etc - there is something wonderful for everyone here!
I've been wedding DJ twice. I'm not a professional DJ. But I know what people like. So, of course, this is in my playlist. A lot of ABBA. A 'professional DJ' wouldn't be as good.
This is one of the happiest songs ever......in the way it makes people feel
not drill fans 💀
and they are white people... yes, white people

Amen abba is great
I remember they had a little revival didn't they in the early 90s. Greatest Hits - Gold CD came out and is still being sold billions of times over.

THE “you can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life” PART MAKES ME WANT TO CRY FOR SOME REASON-
The reason is our fear of growing old and losing our youth. The fact that we can never be younger than this moment. The fact that we won't stay 17 forever. You cry because you are just letting go of these feelings. Accepting your fate. Accepting this fact of life.
@@faruq1621 damn this is excactly how i feel :(
The melody though. Many songs them make me wanna cry
EXACTLY
Same!
I was 16 years old when it came out, and I love it even better now than then..absolutely brilliant song, and it’s great to see that young people love it now too
Nice
Pure quality timeless classics never die and have no age limit.
Este tipo de canciones son las q nunca mueren
Quantas recordações. Meus olhos lagrimejados ao lembrar que já não temos mais momentos iguais a estes. Os jovens de hoje não sabem o que é isso! 😢
E' uma pena quem não viveu essa época
Im here because I love ABBA
My mom went to their concert in the 80s... lucky her!
Sooooo lucky say hi to your mom
I like her voice and the chords of this song, but I hate the drums.
nothing magical really, no contest , just some vilage girl dancing and think she is a fk Qeeen ,, every boy now wants to be a Qeen and do shitFORliving
The world urgently needs this song right now.
And the new music that they promised over 3 years ago now.....hurry up abba. ....I'm dying here. ..
@@frankly-he1kf are they putting out new music?
@@scarlettzopfi2250 yes....at least 5 new songs ready for release. ...due in the autumn. ..
Everyone should listen to this. The world would be better.
Yes, it does.
ABBAの曲かなり昔の曲両親が聴いていて好きになりました
小学生の頃
歌詞の意味は理解できないけど歌唱力がある
I was a Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, etc. junkie back then but the one pop group whose albums were in my collection was ABBA. They had a unique, big wall of sound and combined with those girl's vocal harmonies they were like no other before or since.
Jonathan Comer same
closet ABBA lover here too !!!! ... don't tell !!!
Yeah! Me too!
How uncool was it to be an Abba fan back then? I used to have speakers in my bathroom, I'd crank this up and lip sync to it in the shower hahaha.
Max A Million. It's one of those things that was odd. You would hear what seemed like a lot of people saying things like ABBA was too commercial and was too soft. But here's the thing. ABBA was selling their records right and left plus they went up on the top 10 and 20 charts world wide. At the time I was playing in some Garagebands we played mostly the harder stuff but I wanted to get chick singers I felt people would like it better and I still think I was right but I was the only one in that group of musicians that had that opinion. At that time I was also listening to Olivia Newton John and the Carpenters but I kept that at a low profile.
this song reminds me so much of my mum...she passed away in februrary 2020. as a kid i watched her dancing through our appartment so often...she will always be a dancing queen, young and sweet and having the time of her life...miss you, mum....1946-2020 🖤
I'm sorry for your lost. I'm sure that she's in Haven, watching you. I'm sure that She's proud of you. ♡

アバの番組見たばっかりなんだけど、やっぱりいい音楽は、古くならない。いつまでも、新鮮だー。
Totally regretting not requesting this song at prom two years ago. The DJ was just playing a bunch of random rap songs no one even knew. Now this would have been fun on the dance floor! I bet prom back in the day was awesome with music like this.
Cindy Le My friends at my prom MADE SURE to request only 70s and 80s xD No one knew how to dance to them, but all of my friends danced our asses off. This was three years ago ;D
Skwisgaar4256 - I'm so glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s because I LOVED to dance. The last time I went out dancing (still many years ago), the club was playing industrial/techno type music. Couldn't stand it. Never went back.
Ganeshani Vinayaki Can't blame you.
Ganeshani Vinayaki Me too!
Cindy Le Proms were indeed awesome in the 70's. True. Everyone danced and had a good time... No one cared what you looked like dancing 'cuz the music had everyone's attention and we all felt it.

This song deserved the remaster.
It's magical

There are two kinds of people in this world:
1. Those who like ABBA
2. Those who are too shy to admit they like ABBA
Abba, Queen, Bee Gees... cantores inesquecíveis!!!
Talentos que será muito difícil encontrar iguais
👏👏👏👏👏
Bem lembrado este trio fantástico , Abba, Queen ,Bee Gees segue uma lista interminável do pop rock. internacional. Notamos que até a música internacional caiu a sua qualidade, no Brasil então, nomes raros surgiram no cenário da MPB nos últimos 20 anos.
Se você discorda perdoa-me mas, nossos artistas atuais: simpatia, beleza, empatia sobram mas, talento???????
Verdade
I’m not sure what you said but great bands
si asi es pero que hacemos con esta perdida generacion cumbia y regetone asi estamos me da mucha tristeza

0:21 is the reason why this song is untouchable. that chord change is very unique in pop songs.

@@sadia9061 Love this 2
It's disco not pop I don't think pop was a huge thing in the 70's Disco was
Keith Foester that chord change take me to stars. And it’s supposed to be a simple pop song. If that’s pop then this is enough... :)
This song is everything
I just cant believe Abba was never nominated for a Grammy.
So what? This song is eternal that's what matters. Grammys loss.🤷🏾♀️
