Abba - Knowing Me, Knowing You (Official Video) REACTION

[@melanieviselli9706]

ABBA was one of those groups that, almost every single time they opened their mouth, the song was a hit. They were great.

[@paulecrosby2006]

ABBA are the third biggest selling artists of all time after the Beatles and then Elvis. They are the only artists to be offered 1 Billion to reform, they turned it down.

[@Mingus8]

They had nine number ones on the UK top ten.. and were very close to get ten.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

@Magnus Pagnus True!And maybe even more.(Both" I have a dream" and "Chiquitita" hit N02).Not to mention their top 3 singles that are even more.

[@josefinelagerstrom2643]

Frida (brunette) and Benny (on piano) were married from 1978 to 1981 (although a couple for many years before marrying). Agneta (blonde) and and Björn (on guitar) were married between 1971 and 1979. They also had two children together, Linda in 1973, and Christian in 1977.

[@ALLforLOVE13]

I've never heard an Abba song that wasn't brilliant. They're a hit machine! I'm so excited for their new singles to drop!

[@mickfizz1]

im suffocating from holding my breath ...waiting

[@larrywt656]

It's hard for the old rocker in me to admit, but ABBA was definitely one of my guilty pleasures back in the day. I actually LOVED this group. All their songs were so catchy...even this one, despite being a sad song. And I have NO problem admitting that I had a MAD crush on Agnetha. Still kinda do!

As a hard rock fan I spent my youth arguing with my dad that ABBA were crap . He insisted they were the best group since the Beatles. Dad died 5 years ago and every time I hear an ABBA song I always look up and say OK Dad I get it 🙌 I think I secretly always did but wouldn’t admit it 😉

[@Ontir]

Yes. That’s ABBA. Great groove and bittersweet lyrics.

[@dalebaker9109]

ABBA were always, in the groove. It’s impossible for them to do a bad song. Takes me right back.

[@anthonysmith8800]

Abba had the unique ability to write about every day, human experiences and make them into perfect little pop packages that can make you smile, tap your feet, sing along even if it's a sad narrative. They are masters of songs that are in perfect harmony with emotions and senses. Genius

[@rebeccasimantov5476]

Well said...

[@glenngastonjonsson7954]

Looking back...ABBA never failed. Pure brilliance.

[@MagicMushroom1971]

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Because I was only a teenager in the 70's their songs were sad, but all I did was enjoy the music. I never realized at the time how sad & true the song was.

[@carinaejag]

This is one of my favorite songs by ABBA. I saw them live in Sweden around 1977 and I had my walls full of ABBA posters.

[@Chris-es7qp]

That's the beauty of ABBA... deep lyrics but very catchy songs you can't help but move to

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Abba are one of those bands that very, very rarely get covered in televised singing competitions and it's for a pretty simple reason. Their harmonies and melodies are really hard to sing. They sound simple because the girls are amazing singers. Really, amazing. I did see one round in one TV talent show in the UK where they got them to do Abba songs, a loooong time ago, and it was painful to watch and has never been repeated!

[@stevehawkins6645]

That's the beauty of ABBA, even their break up songs are ear candy!

[@vanjalavoie550]

Frida is absolutely beautiful in this video.

[@peedah3236]

Benny and Bjorn are such brilliant song crafters. The melodies and lyrics are always so memorable . And I love that ABBA often made such simple videos that really catch the song's essence. The freeze-frames in this and the couples looking at each other and turning away really conveys the sadness of a breakup without a need for fancy special effects

[@yasminm7157]

They knew how to make the perfect pop song that’s for sure. And lovely melodies. Sad song

[@rdwulf6289]

I've never heard a better pop song. It's perfect. Love Frida's vocal.

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

The song is upbeat, but the tone of Frida's voice is so melancholic and sad, and the lyrics are deep. ABBA songs often have that kind of subtle ambiguity. They wanna make you cry and dance at the same time. Love it!

[@pmccservices]

That’s because Frida knew there was something going on… Just took her many years to record that song

[@gemini802]

​@@pmccservices very sad that both couples divorced eventually.

[@RJohnson2024]

You are SO ON today. Karen Carpenter and now ABBA! Two of my most favorite artists that have been too long on the shelf. Thanks for reaching back deep into your library. 💯

[@ek3197]

Yes, mine too. Singers that could sing any kind of song.

[@RJohnson2024]

@@redletter2008Yesterday was one of my best days for listening to JV. 🥰

[@tonysc7610]

And the Carpenters did a lot of sad songs and yet you really didn't get a sad feeling when listening to them. In retrospect though, listening to them today and realizing the inner struggle and sadness that Karen had makes them sadder, but still great at the same time.

[@kentmains7763]

Those voices are just unbelievably great, love it.

[@marcovignologargini6242]

I was a kid in 1977 when I listened to Knowing Me, Knowing You, this magical song is part of the soundtrack of my life. Thanks Jay!

[@SweepsSlotswithSarah]

I've loved ABBA since I was a child! I remember having a child version of a record player when I was about 4 or 5 and the very first record that was "mine" was a 45 with their single Fernando. I would play it over and over and sing along. On the flip side my hubby is not an ABBA fan, so when he annoys me I'll start singing Dancing Queen 😂

[@jaterapi]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Abba is a force to be recon with, - a power house. Top quality. I remember as a teenager their lyrics were so informative. Abba is a Swedish pop supergroup formed in Stockholm in 1972 by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The group's name is an acronym of the first letters of their first names and the members of the group where married to each other's . They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1974 to 1983.

[@AntonyP1970]

70's kid back of mum and dads cortina with my lil sister heading to cornwall (uk) abba on the stereo happy fookin days rip mum and dad love ya

[@khanhanlien9825]

ABBA's songs have been covered by many bands (even heavy metal) and they sound great in any style. They just knew how to write great songs!

[@lamusiclover2264]

You should listen to Marshall Crenshaw. He's a great artist and he does a great live version of Knowing Me Knowing You. He's kind of rockabilly and a little retro but so catchy.

[@henrycole7015]

Great voices!! My parents introduced me to ABBA in the mid 70's. I was 10 in '75. These voices got me into listenning to voices aswell as the music. Over the years i have found many great voices! Voices such as Ann Wilson (Heart), Annie Lennox (Eurythmics), Dorborah Harry (Blondie), Donna Summer, Joan Baez, Janis Joplin....many others. Thanks for Reaction.

[@casalaiz4413]

Agree, I would add Karen Carpenter to that list.....😊

[@missgmoma]

This is my favorite of theirs. They harmonize so well together . Awesome group, maybe it was upbeat because they planned to stay friends. It does have a good beat to it ☝🏼

[@turdferguson400]

I grew up on their songs. They weren’t just huge in Aus, they were ENORMOUS!! 👍👍👍💖

[@missgmoma]

Turd Ferguson they were big here too! I liked all their songs I ever heard 💖

[@tkmorrison6404]

Yep!! My fav!!

This is one of my favorite songs by ABBA! Others to react to: "Waterloo", "S.O.S.", "Fernando", "Chiquitita", "I've Been Waiting For You", "Tiger", "Soldiers", "The Name of the Game." There are so many...

[@Tom_McMurtry]

Went through all their albums recently... so many!

[@GaryWalshDublin]

ABBA are famous for having songs with gorgeous melodies with deep and sad lyrics. It’s a great contrast and makes every listen interesting. I love your reviews and reactions- keep up the great videos

[@TwistedSither]

The Swedish super group. For good reason.

[@TheirFinestHour]

[@elza32358]

IMHO, their best song. The very catchy pop tune.

[@discogareth]

ABBA were the masters of upbeat arrangement and dark lyric!

[@ChristianFaithMan]

Having grown up in Australia listening to Abba all my life, they are still the only band that can evoke within me such emotional feelings of heartbreak & joy at the same time. I think the positive element & message in this song is that you can still recover from a serious relationship breakup & heartbreak & still move on to find peace & joy & happiness in your life. You won't find a better music group, all their songs are amazing!

[@antonybrent6232]

👍👌 great reaction dude More ABBA 👍👌

This song, "S. O. S", "Fernando", "The winner takes it all" and "I have a dream" are my ABBA favorite ever 🤘👏👏👏

[@hekuboshi]

This is my favorite by them. Try "SOS", its another very good one from them.

[@hekuboshi]

[@marisolmanzano2041]

At this time both couples were going thru divorces......amazing how they did a great recording ,..actually my favorite ABBA song

[@monica11760]

I never knew a lot about Abba, and definitely didn't know that both couples went through divorces when this song was done.

[@teromattila72]

No they were not.

[@nickchristoforou7850]

Not correct. This song (1976) preceded their actual break ups by a few years (Bjorn and Agnetha broke up in 1979, Frida and Benny broke up in 1981.

[@jerrycote659]

They were not going through divorces when this song came out in fact Benny and Frida were not even married yet.

[@wicsiow]

ABBA: The soundtrack to my early childhood, they are timeless

[@franticrage73]

One of my favorites! Like the seriousness of it while being able to groove to it.

[@mogznwaz]

I grew up on ABBA in the 70s and I did not realise just how amazing they were because I only knew amazing music. The Eagles, the Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, Kate Bush etc etc etc. But whenever I hear them I get the chills and am transported right back to my childhood ❤

[@NerdGirlUK]

ABBA always produced a catchy song even if it was a sad song!

[@gollick]

‘The song is deep but like, super groovy...’ welcome to ABBA

[@JonathanAllen0379]

You nailed your review of the song. I love 70s music most of all because even a song with sad lyrics can still be upbeat and make you feel good. Whereas everything today sounds exactly like the same soulless manufactured shit over and over again.

[@StudeSteve62]

Well a lot does. Not quite all. Listen to "Perfect" (Ed Sheeran) or "Symphony" (Josh Groban), for instance, both recent, both lovely songs...But yes, the good stuff is no longer everywhere and unmissable like it was in ABBA's day...

[@leifpettsson]

So true!!!

[@bethshadid2087]

Never go wrong with ABBA 💗🔥😁. SOS, Fernando so much you need to check out

[@charlotte1704]

*Coming from a native Swede* The band members were couples; Agneta (the blonde) was married to Björn (the clean-shaven man), and Anni-Frid (the redhead) was married to Benny (the bearded man), but they later got divorced, and I think, I THINK (but could be completely wrong) that this song is in significance to that.

[@Bonkers4Hex]

I always said about ABBA they are the only band that can make a heartbreaking song sound happy.

[@patrickbuckley344]

A cool group, they were 2 couples that formed a group, the man with the beard was married to the redhead, the blonde to the clean shaven guy. The women were the great voices- and eye candy, but the men wrote the songs and created the instrumentation. They needed each other- and it worked great, a lot of hits!!

[@martinmillar7137]

Think this is one of their most beautiful songs.... real... but hopeful... can break up..n it can be hard.. but only if ye let it.... can still work together for a common goal... think father n daughter... mother and son.... think this song was ultimately shedding light on the good that comes from a break up.... despite the darkness normally associated with a break up... abba are kinda a poster child for this.. in that for most of their career they were estranged....

[@bradgrauer9148]

This group was like the Swedish Beatles they were the biggest group in the world for a number of years

[@mamalook99]

Abba Was one of best group, They were from Sweden . You can hear a lot of their music in the movie "Mama Mia" Love that movie.

[@lamusiclover2264]

That's what was so great about them. He wrote songs that were not about happy things, but they had happy melodies. That's why it was so brilliant!

Precisely. The whole Fleetwood Mac Rumours album is built on break up, subterfuge, personal indiscretion and of course drugs. Great album.

[@newremote]

This is what ABBA was all about, making super catchy pop music as good as just about anybody. So it's not really strange that even when the lyrics are downbeat, the song is as catchy as hell. The tension is still there, which makes it interesting not confusing, in my opinion.

[@graygrantham7029]

"Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes" This is an emotional experience that we have probably all experiences some more than once. Walking out the door after you have moved all your stuff out following a divorce, going back and revisiting your now empty childhood home. The paradox is that such a sad emotional experience is set to some of the most beautiful music we will ever here. If this doesn't cause your eyes to shed a tear you may need to go to the doctor and have them check to see if you are still alive. I can see right before you paused the video on your review your eyes were about to cut lose..
