ABBA is like the best cotton candy. So hard to resist. Great to see you Biz.

[@watchbizmatik]

haha cotton Candy great analogy

@@watchbizmatik back in the day (1978-84 or so) we would drive from Braintree, MA on the South Shore down 95 and off to Rocky Point Park, which was an amusement park with roller coasters and such. We partied hard.

49 years of loving them. Great reaction.

thank you

Love ABBA 🧡

[@marcodebrabander5751]

One of a kind supergroup. an endless string of original classic hits and brilliant versatile albums

[@alexioverdo5225]

Those Swedes have recorded songs also in Spanish(A whole glorious Spanish album) in French,German and of course their beautiful native Swedish language.

[@mattias5157]

Look up "Du måste finnas" with Helen sjöholm, the version with english subtitles. From the musical "Kristina" by björn and Benny. Get prepared to be blown away.

[@watchbizmatik]

oh wow they sing in Spanish too

Frida is Norwegian by birth.

This is my favorite ABBA song. And I love to watch Frida dancing.

Everybody needs a bit of Abba in their lives. :)

Save All Your Love ❤❤❤.... Is Another Good One!

I guess you might mean 'Lay all your love on me"?

[@eduardooscar309]

So nice to see you again reaction to more ABBA songs in your ABBA Journey "Take a chance on me" (1978) is one of their best ABBA hits in all the world, the most selling song of ABBA in U.S. (more than Dancing Queen), #3 in Billboard U.S. one of their four Top10 in US : #6 Waterloo (1974) #1 Dancing Queen (1977) #3 Take a chance on me (1978) #8 The winner takes it all (1981) This is one of few song than the vocals are more extensive than the music (They begin 'a capela' and singing at the end) the blonde singer Agnetha is the lead vocal in the solo verses, her voice is so powerful, in perfect armonies and chorus with the brunette Anni Frid in co-leads vocal (and the boys in back voices singing repetitive the frase 'take a chance, chance') Agnetha & Anni Frid have fantastic voices and harmonies together Agnetha is soprano Anni Frid is mezzo soprano and together made a 'third voice' the guitarist Björn got the idea while jogging, by the sound of the footsteps he interpreted t-k-t t-kt and adapted it to "take a chance, chance, take a chance", so the song was born Although it is a disco europop, it's like a constant and happy march, captivating, cloying, addictive if I could give You a suggestion for next reaction, take a review of all "ABBA The Álbum" (release at the same time with "ABBA The Movie" in 1977), is a Masterpiece of versatility in each song, but specialy the hymn "Thank you for the music" I wish you a greatest week My best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷 South América

[@jasonmccluskey3623]

Abba!

[@abbagus1]

ABBA recorded 15 songs in Spanish , they had bangers in English and Spanish in Latinamerica . It seems it was the US the only place on the world where they weren’t as huge at that time maybe because Atlantic records released their albums there ?

[@seanriley199]

That rising f# during the chorus gives me life

[@opicatchu2164]

Nothing better than ABBA 💯 👌 💯 👌 💯 👌 💯 👌 💯 👌

[@larsnilsson6821]

AGREE

[@dexterjankaren]

Delicious musical candy!

[@KennieBlais-ud2wn]

They were everywhere on the radio throughout the 70's and every now and then they'd put out a banger, like this one.

[@JohnDoe-lt8fd]

ABBA songs do sound very Christmassy. I'm an Aussie, so December is summer time for us. When I was a kid, my mum had the Spanish version of ABBA's Greatest Hits, and used to play it during December,. She told us they were Spanish Christmas songs. I guess she was sick of hearing lyrics about snow and reindeer in the middle of summer!

[@joeyrice5873]

Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Anderson, also the girls' husbands, were also the songwriters for the group.

[@user-yj7iq6um8g]

Good song, thanks Biz

[@susieq9801]

A good choice to view would be "Does your mother know" and "Hole in my soul" performed together at Wembley. Much better than a video. Their catchy melodies songs stuck in your brain.

[@helenpeterson]

Their best Live Performance in my opinion. Has to be the two together.

[@rasvanniekerk6297]

❤❤❤❤

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mattias5157]

It's not a winter song. It was inspired by a summer - to my understanding - jog in Stockholm. So Benny has told.

[@abbagodz]

Here in the U.S., this single sold more (went Platinum) than 'Dancing Queen' (went Gold), yet still only went to #3 here on the Billboard charts because of 'Baker Street' and that friggin' 'Shadow Dancing'. The happiest song of the 70's imo. Thanks for the reaction.

[@daveloboda1769]

My main choice of music is rock but I am, like so many others, a massive ABBA fan. Try my favourite "Thank You for the Music".

[@Urfinchannel]

A worldwide banger when it was released in summer 1978

[@larsnilsson6821]

I was feeling down so the doctor told me to take two ABBA songs every day ❤❤❤❤

[@jerrycote659]

I used to live in Rhode Island!

[@watchbizmatik]

Thats great, which part?

[@geofffield7603]

Summer Night City next !!!!!

[@rlhjr4545]

You like 1970s pop: you mustn't escape "Love Will Keep Us Together" by The Captain & Tennille.

[@guyinnyc1]

Nice reaction! Check out abba's spanish language album, for swedes, they did an amazing job redoing their hits in an even more foreign language for them. And a couple other songs you might like are Kisses of Fire from their Voulez Vous album, and My Mama Said from their Waterloo album-both "deep cuts". Look forward to more abba reactions.

[@editdelete9323]

I know the song, i never knew the video was so well done.

[@sarablack2547]

you need to react to brit 80's band eurasure's version with the video that looks alot like this. they did an abba ep.

[@thomaskelley1718]

GW!!

[@sionadamson1842]

🍀Great reaction, sir!🍀

[@bostonwhofan]

Since you mentioned this being a snow song, you should definitely react to their video of the song "Chiquitita". Another great one is "SOS". Both Pete Townshend of The Who and John Lennon of the Beatles called it the greatest pop song ever written.

[@lynosbourne2024]

Here Bizmatik😂😂😂😂😂

[@watchbizmatik]

Hello

[@liljay216]

The brunette girl Frieda was a better vocalist and had more rhythm in my opinion

[@timr5490]

I grew up in the 70's and it wasn't cool to listen to ABBA, but I loved them. Still do.

[@neorich59]

They all spoke English, although, I gather that Agnetha has lost some of her fluency. They understood that, in order to "make it," especially in the UK, and other English speaking countries, notably Australia, that they _had_ to sing in English. What you get with ABBA, is perfectly crafted pop/rock songs. This song, in particular shows how to craft a whole verse/chorus, from one rhythmic idea, think "take a chance on me," which becomes the root of the rest of the melody. They were seriously adventurous, melodically and harmonically, especially, their later stuff. Have a listen to "The Winner Takes it All, and The Visitors, from their last album!

[@Carrie-so3ro]

The funny thing about this is that it seems like such a happy, fun song - when it in truth is ANYTHING but. It is actually a VERY TWISTED song. (I can't remember which are the perpetrators & who were the innocent victims for sure, so I won't say.) This song was actually written mostly/fully? by one of the men in the group - as a song to get one of the women in the group to cheat on her husband (also in the group) AND have his OWN WIFE sing this song TO the intended other woman on his behalf (while the other woman, already facing his seduction attempts) knew the song she is also singing - is MEANT for her.) In the end, his attempts work & both of their partners find out. Despite wanting to walk out & away from the group IMMEDIATELY (& BOTH of these couples had kids too!), their music producers FORCE them to continue to live out their contract - FOR ANOTHER FULL YEAR - touring, performing & making music together! The music company ALSO does NOT want the bad press (& drop in sales) if people knew the wicked story, so only 1 of the couples was allowed to break up 1st & then the other couple was allowed to do so quietly a year later & different reasons (NOT the real reason) was given. It was only later that the TRUE story came out. Have a re-listen to this song & see how it really was. I ALWAYS loved ABBA, but after the real story came out, I have not been able to listen to their music with the same enthusiasm.

[@Carrie-so3ro]

Even worse is their song - "Winner Takes It All" which I think? came out AFTER the affair & the secret splitting of the couples.

[@lynosbourne2024]

What's your heritage 😜

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

If you want rock, avoid Abba. But if you want the sweetest, catchiest ear-candy pop, they should be your number one choice. Try my favourite of their songs, "The Name of the Game".

[@Lisa-M]

ABBA has some great rock songs, too. 'Eagle', 'Hey Hey Helen', 'Watch Out'... just to name a few.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

@@Lisa-M I like "Eagle" a lot, but I wouldn't really class it as rock.

[@Lisa-M]

@@jamesdignanmusic2765 I think the guitar solo at the end of the song makes it more rock than pop. Wikipedia classifies it as progressive rock or art rock.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

@@Lisa-M Fair enough. That solo is also the hardest bit of the song to play :)

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Enjoyed the movie "Mama Mia" which featured this and other ABBA songs. Very catchy tune, but not my vibe, sorry, too pop.

As a person who was around when ABBA came on the scene, I can honestly tell you that I hated everything they have ever done. Before anyone complains about me saying I hate ABBA, Remember this: not everyone shares your taste in music. For me, ABBA are the most annoying people with the most annoying music. It’s awful. 🤮
