[@alainvanachter6887]

Abba must have loved this band to have allowed this cover and wow, what a result!

[@neo6709]

Brilliant version of a very underrated ABBA song

[@paulputnam8211]

Covering ABBA material can be risky but they pull this off brilliantly. Love it !

[@LancasterSlim]

Well ,hang on.....isn’t the sexy blonde one from ABBA in this video...????

[@Bobsend]

@@LancasterSlim Yes, they interspersed their video with clips of the original ABBA video of this song.

[@toothlessthemega838]

@@LancasterSlim yes its Augnetha!it was her song originally!!!!

[@kidwaryodproduction]

And Erasure covered on "Take a chance on me" was also very good and funny as hell :)

[@johanvajse8410]

Erasure said hold my beer and released an entire album of ABBA covers

[@katastrophenschutzwa]

I love neil’s smile at the end. What a wonderful band they are/were.

[@paulbergkamp2181]

timeless song , gives me goosebumps , long live all 80`s based groups , a time never to be forgotten .

[@NormAppleton]

It's awesome and Agnetha is there!

[@reesemorgan2259]

Neil's beautifully shy smile at the end.

[@kerstinhoheisel8583]

I See this Video and I remember 1982, to a friend I meet, I found him now, 38 years later.. .your face is nearly the same.. I get tears in my eyes.. I love this song...

[@MrFourtwona]

I love you 🥰

[@deanspencer13]

Nice words

[@rhianjones1319]

This is one of Abba’s most beautiful songs

[@sarahdixon6011]

There's many but this is sooo subtle and beautiful. Gives me goosebumps.

[@adidixon250]

Neil and Stephen do it justice

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

And also their darkest and saddest. One of my favorites.

[@jonmann9306]

Wonderful song and video. I always think though, how nice it would have been had the Abba lady smiled back to Neil Arthur right at the end. She smiled throughout!.

[@dylansdad987]

Such an amazing cover by such a talented duo. Really did the song justice. So great to see Agnetha in the video. In my opinion, the most beautiful woman to have ever walked this earth.

[@emmacoombs8681]

I agree!

[@mlh4711]

you must not have seen many beautiful women in your life.

[@shaun5944]

Well said Steve, she's gorgeous 👍❤️

[@davidp2287]

Agnetha's look is worth the price of admission.

[@francisflannigan1182]

Steve Ridley you’ve never known Caterina Cocozza my friend but Agnetha is up there.

[@laurencegladwell529]

The best cover version of any song ever ,very definitely 👍👍👍👍

[@nightowl7459]

Laurence Gladwell: It's definitely one of them.

[@Toshackeegan1nil]

It's brilliant I love Blancmange but listen to satisfaction by Devo then come back..

[@paulbessant8182]

Always On My Mind Pet Shop Boys was voted THE best cover version EVER in a UK poll. This is superb as well

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@paulbessant8182 who tf did they poll for that?? The town of Brighton? It’s goddamn awful.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

@@Eleventhearlofmars No mention of Joe Cocker?? Lol joke of a poll.

[@REPENTBELIEVE]

Brilliant cover.

[@Lucy_Honeychurch]

Back in the 80s I loved this song and I didn't even know it was a cover of an ABBA song until a few years ago.

[@johnniejukebox]

Another left hander!

[@user-gd3pd5wh3u]

Геніальна кампозиція! Шикарний кліп!! Безсмертна АВВА!!!

[@shaun5944]

Absolutely amazing, great ABBA cover, well sung and arranged, never forgotten it 👍❤️🇬🇧💥

[@paulkeller9018]

WOW ! what a cover !!!

[@laurencegladwell529]

The best cover version of any ABBA song definitely

[@larsnilsson6821]

Dont agree.They made a lot of very good songs 🐈‍⬛🐈🫂♥️

[@patriciad8709]

this lead singer is insanely gorgeous

[@McSynth]

Absolutely bloody splendid. As another viewer said - always risky covering a recording that is close to perfection. Well done Blancmange. Rather good.

[@lbw7422]

This song is one of my favourite ABBA favourites. A cover is hardly ever as good as the original, in my view this is one of the few exceptions

[@debragoodrum13]

What a voice, and so beautiful ❤️😍

[@tedriding]

I was eleven, maybe 12 and liked Blancmange..and this band...didnt lie carrots back then but grown on me since...anyway..3 of the "fittest Birds!" at skool was into them...used to go sit outside Niels house in Darwen..his mum always offered a Brew...lovely women..but most northern folk are..anyway...these birds offered to take me to Appollo in Manchester...and I said Ok...I could go on but I wont..doubt anyones bothered anyway..anyway...point is I like this track..the concert was top and I wish I knew then what I do now..Could have had all 3 of them...jokeing .Simone..Collette(my fave!) Nicola..thanks...Niel Arthurs mum thanks...Blancmange/Abba thanks..if any fit bird fancies a chat..I am on facebook..lol...good tune was my purpose...not lonely at all

[@HENRYFOLEY]

Best Abba song by a long way, beats all the others.

[@helensimpson2527]

Just lovely! ❤❤

[@francisflannigan1182]

Best ABBA song and best ABBA cover ever, Also, brilliant video

[@BadWolf219]

Still obsessed with this song in December 2021. Anyone else?!

[@eightiesmusic1984]

It is amazing. I can never decide whose version I prefer. Probably Blancmange but both Abba and Blancmange's version are impeccable.

[@zinniazinnia2145]

O M G! I'm melting, what a beautiful voice....fabulous tribute to Abba version.xxxxxxxx

[@joannelobley2894]

I much prefer this version. I remembered it from back in the day. Happy memories.

[@tastytom1]

If you’re going to do a cover you’ve got to do it as good as this one.....excellent stuff.

[@davidcockcroft5444]

Aug 2021... anyone else still digging this?

[@vincentmacgillivray8594]

I heard this for the first time on the radio today and thought it was brilliant. I liked the original too.

[@fannycraddock99]

Still loving this in August 2020. Who's with me?

[@sarahpotter4008]

It’s October, and I’m still here!

[@blairsterrett9988]

October here as well :)

[@harrydonaldson7624]

[@machiavellianos]

Love this cover. And the smile.... memories

[@dennisbraun8071]

Brilliant song.i love it

[@laurencegladwell529]

The best cover version of any song ever for me 👍👍

[@jamesobrien1440]

I agree

[@ntg1980]

Nothing beats the Original…

[@nygelmiller5293]

What a beautiful video

[@bensolomon1495]

A very Swedish combination of emotion and restraint haunt this number, and a exellent cover that in no way blemishes and sometimes enhances, almost as if both parties are singing the same song to each other, very cleaver

[@francisflannigan1182]

Incidentally, I agree. Great cover

[@timwood8912]

Brilliant

[@janegoodfellow1529]

Such a great concept for a song, and superbly done here ❤

[@robertharper2985]

23 rd a January 2021 and still has good when it was released takes your breath away great cover song that they pulled off fantastic !

[@Andy-cv4yd]

I'm crying... плачу... эмоции парня такие настоящие...и понятные...

[@moneyandtimefreedom3352]

Such a cool voice, brings back such great memories.

[@fernandotrilles4452]

That London from the 80s, magnificent

[@davidandrews8963]

Loved this from a 53 year old Durany 🧓🤣😘

[@coyoteartist]

Not only a brilliant cover of one of my favorite Abba songs but the video editing was top notch.

[@Toshackeegan1nil]

reminds you how brilliant Abba were.

[@pauldavies1210]

Love his Darwen accent. Barrrrbra Carrrtland. Great song

[@sextonblake4258]

Quite excellent. Thank you.

[@musiclover9361]

I have three ABBA favourites which I struggle to order: The Winner Takes It All, Thank You For The Music and this. I think this just edges it. So clever.

[@jameswest4692]

Wow, hate both those songs, had never heard this before until a minute ago, its Ok. To have 3 Abba faves and be those three... unusual

[@musiclover9361]

@@jameswest4692, on reflection, I think 'The Day Before You Came' is my favourite, just edging one I'd forgotten: 'Slipping Through My Fingers'. On the new album, 'Just A Notion' is classic ABBA. The vocals were recorded in 1978 but all the music was recorded for the album 'Voyage' in 2021.

[@tomislavpotocar91]

((Croatian-Serbian-English in Esperanto and Sanskrit) Ponekad nekog dugo željno iščekujemo, ali kad se trebamo naći s tom osobom osjetimo (osetimo) neku prazninu. Možda je to tema ove pjesme. Sometimes we eagerly wait for someone for along time, but when we need meet that person we feel some emptiness. Maybe that's the theme of this song.

[@janew6706]

ave always loved this version.

[@robertcourtney7649]

Best version of this song.👏

[@Tom-zs1ev]

Agree

[@chrishowland6062]

A masterpiece of music .for me, personally ,I like to listen to music that seems to have meaning , a story ,and this does. It initiates emotions in me that can bring tears or happiness ,depending on my mood, but always joy. I love music that can do this. Those skilled people who can write music and do this have an amazing, almost indescribable talent of which I’m green with envy. and insanely jealous of , of which I proudly admit too.

[@thomascassidy8347]

So gorgeous xx

[@alandunn4663]

Brings me back, so many memories x

[@PaulWilliamGibson]

What a smile 😁

[@freeway71]

The usual place, the usual bunch. Sweden meets Yorkshire.

[@23715]

Smashing

[@mikehydraulic5608]

Imagine if both artists collaborated. Brilliant 👍

[@markmarlow7724]

Best Version 😘👌

[@georgeavgerinos9411]

brilliant...the band and the song...superb

[@imadaaoun]

Lovely just Lovely interpretation !!!

[@patrickhicks9880]

i like the way they sang it without taking the piss abba deserve that much people love them even if all the boring critics who don't like anything don't

[@cdwheel]

The extended version of this song is also great!

[@sabrinaschuster]

The extended version is marvelous I agree

[@geoffmetcalfe9863]

Saw them in Zebedees Yard in Hull a couple of years ago. Supporting the Human League, great night.

[@Iffy]

Would have been awesome if Agnetha did a back and fourth duet with Neil in this version!

[@Bth1965]

Superbe version 😘👍👍👍

[@daniellebrunel2960]

Brings back memorys of my college years.

[@christophemeasson5190]

they are so deserving to cover ABBA this band Blancmange is pure genius

[@charleysays2753]

And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained...

[@rjjcms1]

And rained and rained...

[@kirklevitt8813]

I love this. Well done 😊

[@CalLatMan]

I can't remember what my life was like before Elaine, but I know how empty and pointless it has been since 1979 without her.

[@laurencegladwell529]

Best cover version of any song ever ,

[@andyodubhshlain7846]

Laurence Gladwell agree 100%

[@paulbessant8182]

Always on my mind Pet Shop Boys just pips it. Both are fantastic improvements on what are already great songs

[@Sleepnomore1]

Still love it in december 2019..

[@robn7777777]

Darwen's finest.

[@stephenmills5989]

Best cover of an ABBA song ever!

[@pamelastones4802]

This is fabulous! I'm so glad that I found it! 😊

[@tonylambert2466]

Pam. I the luv the video reminds me of good times bless xx

[@nAanis100]

Never imagined being like i wanna dance by listening to This song ! 80’s vibes ! I loveeeeeee it ! This is such kind of 80’ s italian song and at the same time like the french group : desireless! I love it so much 😍😍😍🤯😍

[@nikkit887]

Oh no my Blancmange never knew they covered the gods!!

[@MrFourtwona]

The song of a love. When my friend hears it she has to cry. Because the resemblance between the singer and me is gigantic ...

[@wayne90079]

I love the way you laugh at the end

[@tommyross5959]

An unexpected cover, but hey it works for me, brilliant..

[@sunny-ela4964]

Mega voice 😍

[@darrenjohnson9424]

THE KLF 😮!!!

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Amazing that ABBA had released this just two years prior yet they covered it.

[@davidbeniston2516]

Thing they nailed it big time

[@andrewmaccallum7880]

Lovely song

[@sevanewromantic7712]

Great cover !

[@francisflannigan1182]

Still loving it July 2022.

[@rach68rw]

Fab cover, but waves is my favourite, I can really relate to it as I said goodbye to my first love .my dear dad x

[@chanc8r38]

yep worth it!

[@majormadmax1]

Great homage to ABBA!

[@KAZ132]

Wonderful ♥️

[@tonks1968]

Great version of an amazing song

[@staffsyeoman]

Whisper it... better than the original. And for years I thought he was singing "I have no sense of living without PAIN" .... (I know, it's "aim"). This used to be a song between me and someone special, also a fan of ABBA, so we'd send each other cards the day BEFORE the anniversary of our meeting. It lasted five years.

[@markmarlow7724]

Very rare a cover can sound better than the original This is one of them Awesome 😘👌

[@grahamcheesman2252]

Absolutely 👍
