ABBA - Summer Night City (Official Music Video)

[@user-mb1ts7zj8z]

It's actually painful to see how few people have seen and listened to this masterpiece. A million times better than whatever is being produced nowadays. And that's true for most songs they made.

This tune is criminally underrated. I have no idea why it wasn't released as a single in the USA.

[@danstone8783]

IKR This is my fave ABBA song

[@oliverwittofficial4997]

Because Atlantic, ABBA's record company the US, wanted to have an album to go along with the single. Atlantic loved the single and sent a telegram to Stockholm, saying: "Everyone here thinks it will be a number one!". But ABBA could not guarantee an album before Christmas and so Atlantic didn't release the single. Atlantic also messed up "Chiquitita". ABBA did the Concert for Unicef in New York which got worldwide promotion - and Atlantic released the single five months later. When "Does Your Mother Know" was released in the States in May 1979, it had been a year since "Take A Chance On Me", a lifetime in pop music then.

Dragan Milenkovic Agreed 100%.

[@draganmilenkovic3403]

I still own the original vinyl single and it always was one of my favourite ones.But it never became a huge hit it used have deserved to be.Wonder why...Might be because of the Bee Gees supremacy that year?

[@LessThanThree76]

Interesting theory. That might actually be the reason. Such a shame, either way. And yes, I envy that vinyl single of yours. Very much.

[@Altonahh10]

Hm, I was a huge ABBA fan in those days and didn´t like this song as much as most of the others. Something´s missing here, the refrain is okay but the verse is not loaded with enough music, if you know what I mean. It sounds pale and not as superior as it should compared to the other achievements ABBA made. Everybody who went disco without really having a foot in that door, somehow failed. Barbra Streisand tried it more than once and her her vocal qualitites are really low - even on "No more tears" she is vocally dominated by Donna Summer.

[@JohnProph]

very strong chorus though....at least when it first kicks, but then it fades a bit. ABBA was probably a bit too classy to do basic disco songs. (Im a big BeeGees fan btw)

Benny Andersson playing for "those who have ears for that", coming directly from the softness and detail oriented classical music - he able to pushing same complexity into the pop-sounding, which originally planed for much simplier form and object... Benny pulling up the pop into same level as the classical, and for this he need extra geniousity and very good taste...

My mother is in her 60s and when i was a child she told me about abba and how much she loved this band. After many years now I'm in my 30s, from my teenage to these days I've been listening to heavy metal and classical music mostly. Now I've rediscovered Abba and I'm really enjoying their music. I haven't listened to them earlier because of my "metalhead ego" and I really regret for that. Greetings from Bangladesh!

[@AndresGonzalez-cr8uq]

Nice you gave to you the opportunity to listen to them, I listen their music since I was 11 and I used to be bullyied by my classmates about it, even people from my family used to make comments like: Don't you listen to "regueaton"? which has been the "coolest" music gender in Colombia for years, but I just never cared and never will.

[@iana6713]

Like what you like - I am an overgrown emo kid in my musical taste, stuff like FOB, Paramore and MCR among others, but I love ABBA too. They knew how to make music that appeals to all emotions.

[@smoly37]

Those were the days when the way you were born didn't matter. Four "normal" looking young people without immaculate teeth, plastic surgery faces or BBL's. Just good make-up and hair, nice clothes and that was it. At 11, I thought both of the guys were INCREDIBLY ugly and unattractive...but it didn't matter, because it was about the MUSIC. Thinking about that, I realize that the whole 24/7 MTV video's, starting somewhere in the 80s, probably developed, from the "need" to have TV performances in music charts, like Top of the Pops, in Holland TOPPOP andsoforth. I was born and raised in Amsterdamned, Holland in '63. When the show Toppop came on, and they couldn't get a band to perform "live", there was either a video (thinking of Bohemian Rhapsody and the likes), or Penny de Jager did a choreography with her jazzballet- dancers...that was dull, mostly. But seriously: Wuthering Heights, by Kate Bush, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Boys, by David Bowie and what not, ALL had some sort of videoclip avant la lettre...and ABBA. Happy memory: me at 14 with my first "boyfriend"(holding hands and kissing. Oof! Exciting!) and both of my parents, all dancing together in the livingroom on "Take a chance on me" by Abba....❤😂❤😂

[@cragraven8949]

Greetings from Wales. I was also a metal head in my youth - but I think it lays the groundwork for people to appreciate all kinds of other music, from classical, to opera, to folk. There elements of all those in metal. I also grew up with ABBA, and they are absolutely the best at what they do. I've been watching their live shows lately - some of which are surprisingly more rock than I would have thought. Aanyhow, you may appreciate this mash-up...;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/op7NnJ2QYq17pMk

Loved and love Abba since I was a kid. Growing up in a Soviet Union, it was one of a few bands that I really enjoyed from outside that nation.

This song, has always been at the top of my list of most favorite. Sure, I liked many, most Abba songs, but this one just appealed to me so well and just love it, the music, the lyrics and everything about it. Great and timeless music.

I think one of the secret ingredients to ABBA's success is the clever way that they absolutely maximized each other's best abilities. I mean, Benny and Björn could sing and dance reasonably well on their own, I'm sure but it wouldn't have been their forte and I'm also certain that Agnetha and Frida could play instruments and work the sound tech OK on their own but again, it probably wouldn't have been their forte. They focused on what they did best. Each of them was in the exact place within the group that most suited their talents and they did it without necessarily having one dominate over the other which often happens in groups, however, ABBA worked as one unit to an almost military operational level.

The ridiculous costumes of ABBA detracted a bit from their music (they even said the costumes were ridiculous). Those two guys got the best 70's disco drummers with so much push, pull and swing - playing all around the beat. And many people know Lemmy was a huge ABBA fan amongst other things people would not expect like Little Richard who was his hero.

I am a huge massive fan of Heavy Metal/Hard Rock music big time for over thirty years, but ABBA was a PHENOMENAL band with great songs. The first time I heard this song was my first trip to Greece back in 1984 as a little kid. ABBA was still extremely huge in Europe at that time and their music got played on the radio very often. I love most of ABBA's songs but my favorite has always been Summer Night City. In my opinion ABBA has the greatest vocal harmonies ever. The Bee Gees also have great vocal harmonies, but in my opinion ABBA are much better at it. I had seen a top ten list on this Heavy Metal website of things that Metalheads love other than Heavy Metal music, and ABBA was on the list. The list was actually in my case very legit as I love eight things out of ten that made the list.

Listen to it live at Wembley even better

cool bro

[@animacs1]

Check out Therion's version

[@SeBaGgro13]

Yeah bro. Listen the Therion's Summer Night City 😍💞💞💞

[@oXyacePtylene]

I can SO much relate to this... if you like music, there's hardly a chance you don't like ABBA. My playlist can easily go from In Flames to the Bee Gees, from ABBA to Opeth, from Metallica to Earth Wind and Fire, from Gojira to Vangelis... but when ABBA comes up, I just got to listen to a lot of it. Dunno why. lol

[@jeremevr6]

Their best song. The sense of urgency is not wasted here.

1978 and Frida still rocking those skinny jeans. A timeless look especially with legs like that.

[@pirjosaarimaki6925]

Frida and Agnetha are those rare examples of female singers which are tall. (Usually female singers are quite short.). And Frida and Agnetha are same length which makes them look beautifully in harmony while side by side. If one of them was f ex 160 cm and the other 180 cm; nope, it would not work.

[@chelseacharger]

@@pirjosaarimaki6925 Totally agree. They were about 10 cm taller than the average woman and with their heels on would be taller than a lot of men too back then. They are different in other respects but at the same time complement each other so well. Can't think of a female duo who sounded so good together.

[@sann1spann1s]

@@pirjosaarimaki6925 Yup. And the boys aren't alot taller then the girls

we have had the best times ,the best music ,the best bands Abba was one of them

[@johanbergh5503]

None of their masterpieces are similar to each other , quite unique I would say!

[@paulskehan693]

The bass line alone in this song makes it a classic, no need even to mention the rest of this masterpiece!!!👍👍... love From Ireland 🍀👍💯

The theme from 0:45 to 0:58 is so entrancing!

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

Summer Night City is and has been my all time favorite Abba song over thirty five years. My family and I went to Greece to visit relatives back in 1984 and that is where I first heard of Abba. They were still very massive in Greece back then. I fell in love with the music and especially the singing. Frida and Agnetha are the greatest singing team in my opinion when it comes to harmonies. The Bee Gees don't even come close to Abba in harmonies in my opinion. I wish that I could have seen Abba live even just once but they broke up before I was even five years old. They are the only band that never reunited and if they had I would have gone to see them live in a heartbeat.

[@dyingscarlet]

I think they've reunited now

[@robertkientz3738]

Beautiful song and video. As if it was recorded yesterday. Frida, Agnetha, Bjorn and Benny created a lot of joy.

[@sonjavan62]

I don't agree, also after that time great songs were made and are still being made. I think it has something to do in which time you grew up which music you like best.

[@rodneybaer4324]

Couldn't agree more!

[@danswon]

One of their best. So underrated. And the video might be old and cheesy but it works really well with the song.

As a nearly 27 year old who grew up listening to ABBA with my mom,this is BY FAR my favourite ABBA song ever. This is so good. Of course I mostly listen to stuff I heard in my teens like most people do,but this one holds a special place in my heart.

Abba music will be forever my favorite

One of the more unheralded ABBA hits and is better for it. Still sound great.
