ABBA - Money, Money, Money (Official Music Video & LIVE in Japan TV Special 1978) | REACTION

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

Abba were heavily criticized during the 70s of doing music only for the money, so they released this song. Well played Abba, well played. Her voice is amazing. And so are those backing vocals by Agnetha. Fantastic song.

[@abbascots]

So Beautiful so Frida and so Theatrical ❤

[@Kevin-1969]

I like the Frida lead songs,

[@PADARM]

Anni-Frid is an amazing mezzo-soprano. She always shines as a soloist

[@paulatelling9514]

The live performance was amazing, I've never heard or seen that before. Frida's vocal was just fantastic. ❤❤️

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Frida at her vocal best here ! .. So sultry and full of attitude .. And what fantastic production on the recording .. The sound just leaps out of the speakers .. BTW - They do a very nice job in the totally live version too .. Welcome back to the ABBA reactions, mate !👍👍

[@catherinemoore_williams7960]

Love Frida and her voice. Lovely see your back David.

[@alexioverdo5225]

Wow!That's was double pleasure!Thank U David! That classic was no1 in Germany for 5 weeks if i'm not mistaken.I love the way Frida is acting there.Lyrics are really sarcastic and some kind of an answer to the ones who 'blamed" them for getting rich after the massive amounts of records they were selling.But let's not forget that all 4 members refused to leave Sweden and become tax exiles despite the huge taxes charged(about 80% i think) and remained to the country they loved leading a rather ordinary life without the extravagant luxuries and tastes other rock superstars and celebrities use to do ,especially last decades.

[@kimmokurikka2334]

As long as there will be people on earth, or in space, they will be listening and been emotional to ABBA-songs. And M M M will be one of them. It's such amazing song. Thanks for your review.

[@greyhaze1959]

Hey David... Brightened my day seeing another Abba reaction from you... and what a banger!! Always loved this song with the lovely Frida doing her thing with that amazing voice. And what a treat to see the totally live version with both girls looking gorgeous. What a treat! Thank you 👍

[@alejandrosantanaborquez917]

So nice to see you again, David! 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ is awesome... 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ is as necessary or more necessary than money (at least for me) 😅! 🙏More ... Take care, men. See ya ✌️ Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱 🤗 👍

[@Nic-gn4ff]

I just LOVE this live performance. Flawless. I always thought that Agnetha was my favourite, but most of my top Abba songs have Frida on lead vocal. I can’t choose - I love them both ❤️

[@rebeccaj8743]

This is my favorite ABBA song and I love Tommy J’s version too. 💕❤🎸

[@eduardooscar309]

Hello dear GivenToe , so nice to see you again reaction to ABBA songs in our ABBA Journey and thanks again for doing "two for the price of one" (tittle as ABBA song from 1981) "Money money money" (1976) it is a very good song in a different musical style, cabaret type, set in another era "Money money money" is the single that followed "Dancing Queen" and reached # 3 in the UK, #1 in Australia and several European countries. It is a totally different song from its predecessor "Dancing Queen" and also from its successor "Knowing me knowing you" This is the versatility of ABBA, they go from genre to genre, as well as from success to success The song lends itself very well to the brunette Frida's lower voice, the choruses are sharper in contrast (and very catchy) The instrumentation is excellent The official video is one of ABBA's best, very creative, and the favourite of the film director, Lasse Hallstrom it shows Them in fashion situations and also with their famous kimonos But a few months before ABBA premieres the new official lyric video of "Money money money" and next, the live perfomance at Japan 1978 is again fantastic ABBA did three songs live to Japan TV: "S.O.S.", "Money money money" and "Thank you for the music" at the end all these songs have an orchestra behind, it gives more power to the songs and the live vocals of Frida & Agnetha are outstanding I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs My best regards to You from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

[@geneWebb-uh5fg]

ABBAMAN.... This song is by far is one of Frida's best vocal deliveries I have never seen the live version before. Thanks for sharing that. Back to Tommy for a second I've always wondered why he sang it from the female perspective he could have sang I bet she wouldn't fancy me instead of I bet he wouldn't fancy me. Still one of Abbas best songs ever and I think the arrival album what's a big turning point in their sound the Abba formula so to speak😊

[@GivenToe]

Its great Gene! Yeah, I think its Tommys way of paying respect to the original and why he does not change the lyrics, but I can only guess 🙏🏻

[@mariabeatrizvital2323]

Hi, David! Great to have you back with an ABBA reaction! Still better with ¨two (videos) for the price of one¨ 😊😊

[@chelseacharger]

ABBA were going through their absolute Imperial Phase when this was released. They could do no wrong . Hit after hit and such variety, SOS, Mamma Mia, Fernando, Dancing Queen, Money Money Money, Knowing Me Knowing You in succession with more hits to come in late 1977/early 1978.

[@gemny1242]

Hi David, I've never seen these videos but I love both, and suddenly Tommy's version's also playing in my mind!😅Thank you David. Take care🥰

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

The video is so classical ABBA, so Lasse Hallström, and of course the song is an evergreen and, unfortunately, eternally relevant. Love Frida's live delivery.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

I'm also eager for the next one!'THAT"S ME" there's an official video (provided by SVT) and it's sooo beauuutiful.Frida and Agnetha looking goooorgeous while the video had been shot in marvelous locations (must have been in the suburbgbs of Stockholm in 1976. )

[@Elena_Oraevsky]

I like live shows more. They have more life and emotions. And there is a saying: "Of course, money does not make you happier. But it is better to cry in a posh car than at a bus stop." Something like that. Thanks for this review, ABBA is a legendary band of all times.

[@joseluissosalinares]

Inmortals!!!!!

[@Vikinggirl1679]

great song and great reaction. Honestly Fridas acting in the official video was awesome. she's sooo good and natural in front of the camera. the live performance was fantastic tto. Fridas even better live.

[@sarahberry4389]

1 of many of my favorite ABBA songs! Love them..never saw the video ...thank you!! Agree with you money would be so helpful...but true happiness comes from within

[@helenpeterson]

Great to have you back David with a double, awesome.

[@Retroman16]

Welcome back ... weve missed you! Genuine warm abba reaction. You get the brilliance of abba. Cheers

5:28..."forget what u saw...these are mines baby," /5:37 "just grab'em!" ha!ha! I love the directory. One of Lasse Hallstrom's best ABBA video's ever.

[@zpitzer]

fun fact, Frida married a prince and live in Monaco, but all ABBA members are rich.

[@Lisa-M]

Frida doesn't live in Monaco, she lives in Switzerland...

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Well said GT!It's like ABBA is still always around in one way or another.No matter what some haters say it's actually genius well crafted, complicated produced music that seem simple and can be heard anytime,anyplace,anywhere and get u hooked.That's big deal.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Original title was 'Gypsy Girl" and featured some gypsy-flavoured violin solo in the verses.But then they scrapped it for what was to be its then well known form.It's genre is classified as kinda baroque -pop.

[@HenriqueAlbuquerque295]

Bro I know you posted this video 4 days ago but only now I had the opportunity to watch it. This song is immortal as you said. It has a great production behind and, for sure, is one of the better known ABBA's song. I enjoy it very much although it isn't in my ABBA TOP 12. I guess, very soon, you'll react to one of them :) Thank you for sharing your reaction with us. Bye bye bro.

[@GivenToe]

Thats okay! I am not answering this comment until now, so don't feel bad about it bro! Yeah it is, it will be intereting to hear which songs are your favs! Take care now bro!

[@eleonoragiacomazzi5775]

David...left two comments but they have disappeared...so l will try a 3rd time...Hope you get to read this one! Originally the song was to be titled ' Gypsy Girl ' After much re-working..discarding this and that, the bassist came up with a riff and Bennys' iconic intro was born. Bennys ' favourite ABBA song in fact..very ' musical' vibes...Never saw that particular LIVE performance. Thankyou for the dual reaction... Hope you are doing better? One Day at a time.

It is live yes. I have the ABBA in Japan DVD, they only used playback for the new songs they were promoting and then they played live for real with the older songs they performed. Like SOS and Money, Money, Money

[@carlosgarjon8340]

This song is awesome, I remember when it was played on the radio, it was so different from the other songs, even from the ABBA repertoire, with that cabaret style. The clip is the favourite one for his director, I think it's very good. I love the live performance, it's full of energy and it sounds even dramatic.

[@luizalicaramos1247]

Really David, after Tommy I wasn't the same 😳😁. Wow, that's when we see how Tommy improves the songs. Tommy, the music improver. He has provided a brilliant service 💥💎🔥💯🎸. After Tommy's I'm not the same person anymore.🤣😂

Hi, Giventoe. Watching on my new 55" Samsung Frame TV with Sound Bar and Bass Box. Looking fantastic and sounding outstanding. As you can see, I can split the screen into what I'm watching on TV and you on KZbin. Anyway, another great Abba video comment. Yes, money can never buy you happiness. It may help, but it can have its downfall. Great to see you back! ❤

A pop ywas lycky to secure Frida. We owe thanks to Stikkan Anderson/Polar Music for finally securing Frida in 1972. She was Stig's golden girl. The one that checked ALL the boxes.

To hear the original that spawned 2 Tommy covers, is a grand thing...

[@antonioalonso2474]

"Money Money Money" is for me one of the "never get's old" Songs from ABBA, it is in my Opinion not so "DISCO-esque" like other Songs from ABBA, like as the version from Tommy Johannson you can see, that with liitle variations and more Drums and Guitars it shines like a new Penny ;-). and you are so right: the Bass-Line in the Live Version from JApan is sooo groovy and very tight played.

[@danbike9]

She made her own money with ABBA (Polar Music shares, sold in 1982) and her successful business ventures. She is always listed in Switzerland (her main residence) in those "richest" magazines. She has done extremely well.

[@ChristaJohansson]

Hello! In Sweden, ABBA was not so accepted as a serious music group to be reckoned with. They were more appreciated abroad than at home. Much depended on how Swedish society at large viewed people who earned a lot of money. It was simply ugly and in the music industry it was considered that you could not compete in music and earn mony. Melodifestivalen was not that popular at the time and many people boycotted the group ABBA. If you look at the ABBA hysteria in Australia before the concerts in 1977, you can see the group members are a little shocked by the overwhelming reception of the large number of fans and the hysteria they created. They had not experienced anything similar in Sweden and here they were also mocked by some music artists at their concerts. Even on TV! The music movement, the Swedish music movement or the progressive music movement, in contemporary parlance most often referred to as "proggen", was a Swedish musical phenomenon, strongly influenced by the late 1960s youth revolts such as the '68 Left, the American hippie movement, and for many also Swedish folk music . This movement, which had its heyday in the first half of the 1970s, was very heterogeneous in terms of genre and originally aimed to promote the various forms of music that commercial record companies did not perceive as economically interesting, but over time came to characterize an increasing left-wing politicization. People who perform or listen to music related to the movement are usually called ”proggers”. So, to "give back", they created a song about money. Excuse my bad English! Greetings Swedish ABBA fan

Simply put people beed to behave, and ABBA proved them all wrong ❤️🙏🏻

[@akalfredsson7265]

Jag växte upp på 70-talet, och av nån anledning gillade jag inte just denna… Kan bero på att jag var ljushårig och fick alltid vara Agneta, och fick ju därför inte tillräcklig uppmärksamhet när vi mimade på Klassens timme när det var Fridas låtar 😂😂😂 Trevligt att du är tillbaka. Jag vill ha rutiner… Först Tommys video, sen vad nu han heter i USA som reagerar på Tommy och sen din reaktion (inte indelat i popularitet utan hur de brukar komma online 😂) Nu är det ju inte Tommy, utan ABBA, men jag komprimerade ner till en enda ”liten” kommentar. (Vadå ADHD? Jag? 😂)
