ABBA - Why Did It Have To Be Me? - Eén van de acht - (19-11-1976) - TopPop

This is the third and last performance from ABBA's long lost tapes of the Dutch tv-show 'Een van de acht' of November 19, 1976. Today we can present to you the You Tube premiere of this clip from that performance.
Enjoy!
On November 19, 1976, ABBA were on top of the charts around the world. Their album ‘Arrival’ was just released and in many countries on its way to the top of the album charts. And the latest single, ‘Money Money Money’ was already no. 1 in many countries.
In the Netherlands, ABBA-mania reached its peak that day.
ABBA paid a spectacular on that day, November 19, 1976, to visit to the Netherlands to promote ‘Arrival’ with a full program: a press conference with gold and platinum record awards, photo sessions and interviews and to top it all, a performance in the super popular AVRO tv- program ‘Een van de 8’.
Earlier that year ‘Fernando’ and ‘Dancing Queen’ had been in the no. 1 spot of the Dutch Top 40 for many weeks. And now ‘Money Money Money’ was on its way to become their third consecutive No. 1 hit in the Netherlands within six months. ABBA was super hot.
This is one of the long lost tapes of that tv program which was recorded in the Congress Centre, The Hague, the Netherlands, on that day, November 19, 1976, in which ABBA did three songs from Arrival: ‘Money Money Money’, ‘When I Kissed The Teacher’ and ‘Why Did It Have To Be Me’.

*Why Did It Have to Be Me* *Canção de ABBA* ❤️🎸🎤🎵🎷🎶🎼🎹🎼🎶🎷🎵🎤🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ *GOD bless You* ❤️❤️🙏🏻 When you were lonely, you needed a man Someone to lean on, well I understand It's only natural But why did it have to be me? Nights can be empty and nights can be cold So you were looking for someone to hold That's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me Men are the toys in the game that you play When you get tired, you throw 'em away That's only natural But why did it have to be me? Ooh Falling in love with a woman like you Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do It's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me
