🎵 ABBA - Chiquitita REACTION

[@michaelmichael1001]

In 1979 ABBA donated all royalties for this song to UNICEF. In many parts of the world young girls are discriminated even before they are born. Every time you play Chiquitita, money is given to projects that supports the rights of young girls. Over the years millions of dollars. Thank you ABBA for helping those young girls. Good music matters.

4.8 million as of 2021.

@@MuckoManLol!Oh Come ooon!Abba has got such a diverse audience.From gays to punks and metalheads.A huge army of fans.This is phenomenal and that's why such an exceptional band.They are a big hug of consolation to every kind of people.Would you believe that some great rock personas such as David Grohl,Gene Simmons,Lemmy,Ozzy,Ian Gillan,Richie Blackmoore,Corey Taylor(Slipknot),Jonathan Davies(KORN)Bjork and Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins are all self confessed Abba fans?!Even John Frusciente Of RHCP did a cover of SOS while they were on tour.I feel that Abba represent for us and for many rockers a vulnerable side of ourselves so their music is attached to this part.And usually that's something we tend to hide and protect.Besides many rockers are like oysters.Tough on the outside,soft and precious on the inside.

[@robinjohnston24]

ABBA were almost a guilty pleasure when I was a kid. They were almost too mainstream, too ‘pop’. I was a punk and hard rock fan, and I didn’t want to admit I liked them, but I did. And the older I get, the more I realize that I was hearing songs that were timeless. And while I can use the word ‘timeless’ about many individual songs from my youth, ABBA is one of a very short list of groups that have an entire catalogue of classics that only gets better as the years go by.

[@seang3019]

Apparently, according to Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols, the piano intro for SOS was the inspiration for the guitar riff in Pretty Vacant. He was a fan.

[@imRehnzy]

Abba is one of those bands, like queen. They're not a genre. They elevate beyond labels.

[@Astro-Markus]

The great thing about many Abba songs is: they sound simple, but they are usually quite complex. They were the masters of pop music.

My favorite ABBA song, I had asked a Spanish friend of mine once and she told me Chiquitita is a generic term for a young girl, kind of like how we would say "sweetie"; that unique piano sound is not a piano at all but Benny's custom harpsichord, which plucks the strings rather than banging them. Have a good day!

[@MrMARLOWE1973]

Your friend's right about the translation. The exact meaning of "chiquitita" is "little one". But it's a word you'd only use with a baby or a little kid. I think "sweetie" is very accurate as a translation. Greetings from Spain. 😀

I'm so glad to see you again 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 akmost 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 and Anni Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence It allows us to check how excellent singers Agnetha and 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) and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF "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 filmedin Swizterland 1979 (ABBA goes for a TV Special) It's the only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden I wish to see you soon in another reactions to ABBA songs GOD bless you and stay safe My best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina, South América

Big hit and its Spanish version was colossal success with phenomenal sales in Latin America and Spanish speaking markets.After so many decades this song has become some kind of a traditional anthem there.'Chiquitita' is a Spanish word'(Little girl'/'lil one'')Melody sounds exotic and flavoured with Spanish/Latin vibes and some Greek 'syrtaki' hints especially in the outro.

Here's a parody I wrote of this song, entitled "Chicken Titas": Chicken Titas, held in a bra You're restrained by this new ruling In this size there is no room for unspooling How I hate to see a locked chest There is no way you can defy it The PD is prepared to quell a riot Chicken Titas, want to burst through Double shoulder boulder pylons Your breasts penned, in a cage of lacy nylon You were always free to expand Now I see you caught in a tether While double-D cups squeeze you together Chicken Titas, yearning to grow How the bra straps criss and they cross and restrict your breathing You'll be flouncing round again and this law will end You will have no bind or sheathing Chicken Titas, yearning to fly Now the farmer's going to court and suing the mayor Till we see them once again in the chicken pens Say "adieu bras", Chicken Titas Topless hens in the chicken pens Say "adieu bras", Chicken Titas If this stupid law is struck down And you lose this binding order All the bras will be pilfered by a hoarder Chicken Titas, you can't refuse There is no way you can resell them The sanitation laws repel them Chicken Titas, once again free Hacky-sacky lactating globes for both fun and breeding You'll be dancing round the lawn when the bras are gone And I think it bears repeating Chicken Titas, once again bare Now the hoarders pilfering bras descending upon you But you set them all on fire on a poultry pyre Burning your bras, Chicken Titas Topless chicks gonna flick your Bics Burning your bras, Chicken Titas Topless hens in the chicken pens Say "adieu bras", Chicken Titas

This is the song of life, for each of us, at one time or another. Many of their songs are masterpieces that will live on forever.

Lol the juxtaposition of ABBA and Lex wearing a MegaDeth shirt I just find that extremely humorous.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

absolutely hilarious. I totally forgot about this song but I do learn Abba from about second grade when I bought my first two pieces of vinyl across the street at a yard sale where they had a stack of well played and worn out single 45 rpms. I recognized The Beatles Yellow Submarine from the radio and we would all sing it on the playground in third grade. it was so easy to sing along. and then the second one I bought was Abba sos. that song Still slays me to this day. it's right from the same era. and it's rather simple pop but one thing you should realize is they started off singing Everything in Swedish but we're one of the first to learn how to write in English as far as composing songs and then deliver them that way but still with their Swedish affect. which to me is incredibly endearing

[@stevedahlberg8680]

incredibly similarly, Bjork was part of a pump band with her boyfriend and like every band from either Iceland or some neighboring areas, we're so far removed from English that it was revolutionary if one of them started just going to the trouble to write their songs in English from the start and then sing them and learn them that way. rather than trying to do and after the fact translation. they just happened to do this at the time, the sugar cubes, when that was exactly what was needed. the record companies over here absolutely love the fact that it was easy to market right away even though it was weird but for a certain demographic including mine at the time, this was huge. it was bigger than huge. It was like Deus. 😀

After 43 years this song still gives me goosebumps. Agnetha and Anni Frid are unmatched when they sing together. The vocal definition of magic. If you want a song celebrating the Winter Solstice, I would recommend “Ring Out Solstice Bells,” by Jethro Tull. Listen to the version off of their Christmas album; it’s an excellent arrangement with lovely bells.

Heilung has received alot of air time with the release of their music video Anoana, which I highly recommend as well.
