Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another ABBA reaction made possible by PATREON. Frida and Agnetha both share explosive legs, there I said it...lol But they take me on wild fun ride with "So Long." Don't mess with these girls they want you out!

Can't recommend instrumentals-they're not songs. 'Rikky'Rock'N'Roller' is a song anyway, it's just cos they wouldn't use it, B&B took the instrumentation from it. At least 'Arrival' has voices on it, even if no words, though Frida did it with words in 1983 as a single.

Why? It's called institutional racism and inbuilt societal prejudice. ABBA were deemed a novelty act who did Eurovision and, worse, they're not from the UK or the bleeding US. Therefore they had no chance to make it anywhere, it was termed laughable for anyone to even think of making it outside their 'little shores' and Eurovision was their only chance for a tiny bit of universal fame with one song if they got it right. Well they did and they had their moment. It passed-supposedly. In a real world with normal rules, 'So Long' has No.1 written all over it, and did hit big around Europe, continuing their climb, but any single following a Eurovision win by an act that's not a UK or US one is not gonna be deemed playable-no one will "waste their time" with it back then. It's not gonna get plays-so how's it gonna chart. Result: It got no plays! So of course it didn't chart! the follow-up only got in there by sheer luck and chance thanks to a publicity stunt surrounding a sham-wedding between 2 radio stations in the miserable UK that afforded it a few more radio plays, enough to get it into the Top 40, but elsewhere, including the US, 'I Do' was a massive hit, and began their No.1 stream of singles in Australia.

Thanks for reacting to this classic performance, D. Frida's epic 'leg on piano' moment is priceless. She really gave it her all in performances. The song was only released as a single in limited territories and wasn't wildly successful, except for a few countries. Perhaps its B-side "I've Been Waiting For You" would have stood a better chance in the charts. It was one of the stand-out tracks on the 'ABBA' album and the single that never was.

It likely wouldn't-the inbuilt prejudice against record-makers from any country not the US or UK would not have any chance and no radio station played it outside Europe, but IN Europe, it carried on their climb, getting higher than a few others in Germany, and Top 3 in Austria, and Top 10 in Sweden and Denmark.

It's called institutional racism and inbuilt societal prejudice. We've come so far (and wrong now) where every piece crap is signed to a label or they do it themselves no matter who, what or how crap they are (the crapper the better it seems), so we forgot how in the 70s, it was universally considered laughable if any non-US or UK act had aims to make it outside their own 'tiny little shores'. Eurovision, in fact, was the only joke institution that could enable that 5 minute dream-get your song to the top, and everyone will know you and buy it, then that's done, off you pop." It's nothing to do with 'So Long' being akin to 'Waterloo', which I don't really feel it is. 'So Long' was NOT picked up for airplay outside sensible Europe. Hello, it's the 70s! If you don't get airplay, you don't go in the chart and no one buys you. Why is this SO HARD for everyone to recall? Now when you should be selective about what you'll listen to instead of any old garbage these days, nobody is. But back then, ABBA were not expected to be anything but a joke! That's the world back then, and to be fair, once they made it they were STILL considered one, a bit rich considering the like of what was batting about in the 70s! Absurd and ridiculous doesn't begin to cover it. And that was miles better than what we've been living with 'musically' since about 1990!

at least a decent number 11 on the charts in Germany and me too, always like this better than Waterloo actually. It was released by the end of 1974 and was the pre/lead single of the upcoming ABBA album which would include I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do, SOS and Mamma Mia as further singles during 1975. So Long is catchy and sexy as hell. The third voice is really strong on that one. What a contrast to the next single: I Do I Do.... PS. from the more recent stuff you're still missing out on Our Last Summer, another could have been single hit song from 1980's Super Trouper.

So long" has many interesting things to analyze How well you say, its rhythm is in the similar glam rock style of Waterloo, it was recorded in 1974, months after ABBA's triumph at Eurovision And since the reissue of “Ring Ring” after “Waterloo” barely made it into the UK Top 40, ABBA's search for a second hit to reinforce “Waterloo” focused on “So long” precisely because of its rhythm and style in the vein of "Waterloo" But it didn't even make it onto the UK charts The following year ABBA would try "I do I do I do I do I do" another Top 40, until finally it was "S.O.S." that broke the ‘one hit’ curse to #6 in the UK and #15 in the US, and from then on ABBA was the hit-after-hit machine. "So long" I think is more aggressive than "Waterloo", and at the same time more fun Agnetha and Frida do one of their most memorable choreographies And the live performance on the 1977 Australia Tour is spectacular. "So long" is a very good song that unfortunately did not have commercial success But ABBA always included it in their first TV specials until 1976 included. Dereck, if you want so much to see ABBA live, and we fans to see you enjoy them, look for: He is your brother (Australia 77) Hole in your soul (London 1979) See you in another video A cordial greeting from my country Argentina

OK, this was the first pop song I fell in love with. Many many years after its release, in the 80s. So about 15 years later! But I was about 4 years old and I don't know why but this song just dragged me screaming into enjoying pop music. Hearing it again now, its a very dense, thick and heavy sound for Abba. Doesn't sound much like anything else they did. And those trumpets at the end, amazing. I guess its from the same album and era as Waterloo.

Good reaction Dereck. So Long was one of the first new tracks recorded after ABBA had won the Eurovision Song Contest in April 1974, this was an A-side single in the UK in November as the record company thought it would be successful due to some similarities to Waterloo. It wasn't, it didnt even chart in the UK though I belive it went Top 20 in Sweden, Germany and a couple of other places. Bjorn and Benny these days shrug it off as not being one of their best and that it shouldn't have been a single. Its very much of its time, ABBA experimenting with Glam rock and the Spector-esque 'wall of sound'. Apparently when they recorded it they were in a private swimming pool hall trying out guitar sounds with amplifiers and the wall tiles were coming off due to the volume. Theres some nice footage of the track in ABBA-The Movie and a whole heap of performances on youtube for this one. It may not have been a huge hit but, ABBA certainly spent a long of time promoting it throughout Europe.

This is one of their good Waterloo era songs. It also featured on the set list for their tour of Australia as shown during the "ABBA The Movie" film.

I love your channel. However, some important aspects of the euro 80's are missing. Like 'Italo' music, such as gazebo's 'i like chopin', matia bazar - ti sento or fun fun - baila bolero, which was essentially europe's summer holiday music. Desireless, voyage voyage that you covered was in that segment too. Also talk talk is something that is missed and deserves more. They contain beautiful analogue synths and nice arrangements/compositions.

I've never heard a song good enough to make my pant's fall off (although they once DID fall down whilst dancing to Tina Charles - "I Love To Love" but that's another story) However, if it's gonna happen it may as well be to an ABBA song.

I think you liked So Long a bit. I also think you will like Frida's solo piece Slowly, written by Benny & Bjorn.

If you like female empowerment sort of songs then there's more to shake a stick at with Eurovision 2021. Eurovision is what rocketed Abba's career in the 70s.

There is another version of this video where you can see what's going on in the background with the other people there. It's called "ABBA- Made in Sweden for Export" and it includes " Intermezzo No. 1", "Mamma Mia", "I do Id o I do I do I do, and of course "So Long". It's about 13 minutes. It's really great and would be great for you too Dereck.
