Abba - Money, Money, Money | REACTION | WHY IS EVERY SONG SO GOOD?

[@vykepp5709]

Fun fact: my sister's were dancers, my neighbor would find shopping carts and fix them for some reason. They danced to this song at a competition dressed dirty and poor. My oldest sister was pushing the middle around in the cart and it tipped over somehow during the performance.

Don’t feel guilty about liking ABBA. They were master songwriters and singers.

I’m a 70 yr old rock nut who lived through the greatest era for music in history,but ABBA is everyone’s guilty pleasure.

[@scouseofhorror104]

My sister (60 now) was a rock nut. I liked my pop, electronic and of course disco at the time. We both sneered at each other's music taste. Years ago when the Mamma Mia movie came out she got in touch to say "WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT! ARE YOU COMING?!" She admitted then she secretly loved them! 😅 Of course thanks to her I'm still in love with ELO and Meatloaf etc! 🤗

[@The_Jupiter2_Mission]

Money Money Money is one of Abba's masterpiece songs. I only ever reserve that title for very few songs unlike today where people claim every second song by an artist is a masterpiece. It should be awarded sparingly. Money is one of those songs where every element comes together perfectly. Music, lyric, vocal and production. A fitting masterpiece song in the pop genre.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

most of Abba songs are 'hook here,/hook there /hook is everywhere".Today's acts could make 3-4 new 'songs" out of a sampled Abba song.

[@The_Jupiter2_Mission]

@@christianoazzuro6711 meaning what?

[@christianoazzuro6711]

@@The_Jupiter2_Mission I mean that Both guys tried to write every single part of a song the best way they could.Every corner filled up with catchy well crafted details Not just a fine chorus and a mediorce verse.That's what they've also stated in an interview.Some of todays releases lack this.Many later acts(not all) use samples from older songs due to their lack of talent in order to make it in the scene.MMM is a baroque pop masterpiece.Original recording was said to have a prolonged 'gypsy-violin' part at some points but the idea was finally scrapped in the studio. Would have perfectly match the original lyrics ('Gypsy Girl').

I think it is safe to say they are THE Greatest Pop Group of All time. Their music resonates and is as relevant today as it has always been, across generations. The 2 Mamma Mia films have been huge worldwide box office hits, with a 3rd movie being discussed Mamma Mia The Musical celebrated its 25th anniversary this year and is playing all around the world. Mamma Mia The Party is playing to good audiences for 5 years The Abba Voyage concert has been a phenomenon success for over 2 years.

[@tomnoziglia8385]

Another ABBA Classic which has been sampled numerous times. This shows Frida's incredible lower range. ABBA's quite simply THE BEST!

[@barriehull7076]

Wikipedia: Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad (born 15 November 1945 in Bjørkåsen in Ballangen, Norway). ABBA went on to become the biggest-selling group in the world, second only to Volvo as Sweden's biggest export earner, topping the charts for a decade with hits like Dancing Queen (performed to celebrate the marriage of Swedish King Carl Gustaf to German commoner Silvia Sommerlath in 1976), Mamma Mia and Money Money Money.

[@danbike9]

The Fernando/Arrival is the the era put ABBA into orbit: 1. Fernando 2. Dancing Queen 3. Money Money Money 4. Knowing Me, Knowing You Fernando was ABBA's most successful #1 on a major chart. #1 for 14 consecutive weeks on Australia charts. It was a non album single. Eventually incorporated in Arrival promo era. ABBA's Fernando is technically a cover. ABBA covering Frida's original Fernando in Swedish. A big #1 radio hit. Stig Anderson wrote the Swedish lyric. Bjorn wrote the ABBA english lyric. Arrival album was ABBA's biggest seller of all their albums.

[@63rdwho]

I was in a social club with some friends on the night in 1974 when ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo". One of my friends said "they'll be number one next week, then nobody will hear of them again." She was right about the number one. She was so wrong about the second bit.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

So glad she was wrong and we were right.Even now after 50 years they are still both relevant and respected.

Hello , so nice to see you again reaction to ABBA songs "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 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 well to the brunette Frida's lower voice the choruses are sharper in contrast (and very catchy) specialy with the voice of Agnetha in high notes The instrumentation is excellent The official video is one of ABBA's best, very creative, it shows Them in fashion situations and also with their famous kimonos and a year ago ABBA premieres the new official lyric video of "Money money money" I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs My best regards to You from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

Hey Salvador: very enjoyable reaction video and I appreciated the enthusiasm and excitement because that’s really the whole point of what Benny and Bjorn set out to do when they composed, recorded and then labored in the studio (which they actually loved) on the production aspects with the ultimate goal being perfectly crafted and technically flawless musical gems. My favorite of your ABBA reactions to date has to be “The Name Of The Game” which is one of my favorite ABBA songs and you responded to it perfectly. This reaction is pretty damn close though and it was a joy seeing your expressions as you heard and watched. I agree with you when you said you don’t react to enough ABBA songs. With that in mind, as I mentioned that “The Name Of The Game” is one of my favorite ABBA songs (actually it’s my #1 favorite), here are two suggestions for your next ABBA reactions, which also happen to be my #2 and #3 favorite ABBA songs “The Visitors (Crackin’ Up)” and “Knowing Me, Knowing You”. And here is a bonus suggestion “Lay All Your Love On Me”. Peace brother!

If you’re into musicals, you should listen to the soundtrack to the musical ”Chess” from the eighties. If you do you’ll find that it’s very abbaesque due to the fact that is was written by Abbas two geniouses, Benny Andersson an Björn Ulvéus in collaboration with the British lyricist Tim Rice.

Frida made her name before ABBA. Stellar reputation among her music peers. Lots of stage, theater, etc.. . perrforming non-commercial sophisticated vocal centric genre and jazz. Then she slowly moved to pop in late 60's. She always preferred the more sophisticated vocal centric genre, but pop much more lucrative. If you notice her leads in ABBA are more vocal centric. ABBA took advantage of her vocal skills.

Below is a little history of the group and singer. Bucks Fizz star Jay Aston has endured a hellish ordeal over the last few years. The singer, who rose to fame when the British band won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981 with 'Making Your Mind Up', has suffered from her own agonising health battles. Jay was diagnosed with mouth cancer in June 2018, had a gruelling seven-hour operation to remove a section of her tongue and then had it rebuilt using part of her thigh. They recorder this track on the day Jay was diagnosed with cancer which make it very emotional. Jay has recovered and is still touring with the group they just played a sell out concert at the 02 arena in London 43 years after winning the Eurovision.
