ABBA PLAYLIST : kzbin.info/aero/PLe70UwDfhHBiSE6eQONCuJcTq_E4l3LAo

[@mikesmithson6805]

Did u know that the inspiration behind this song is Bjorns new girlfriend after his split with Agnetha. He misses him so badly during tour, hence the the lyrics al i do is eat and sleep and sing, wishing every show was the last show.

[@davidleatherneck]

This is one of the Vids that shows Agneta is pregnant. She went thru this with 2 babies.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

I thought so! Lol. I kept looking.... thought maybe I was wrong & it was bad dress choice....lol. Ty for clearing that up! 😁

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

I love that you do your homework! There are so few reactors that actually look anything up themselves at all!

[@paulcardsfan]

Super Trouper great album .

[@DaveHof]

For someone who knows music as you do, you're going to love "The Name of the Game" - some think it's Abba's masterpiece.

[@teddtarr]

You have to keep in mind that all of these ABBA vids preceded the MTV era which began in '83, at least a year after the group "packed it up" for good. Grateful for their foresight at a time when virtually no one else was going to the time, trouble, & expense to do so. Their best work? Definitely, the last two albums, very possibly due to all the angst they felt w/ the breakups of the two marriages.

[@secr202484]

I'm 60 and have been a devotee of ABBA since a winter night in 1977 when I heard The Name of the Game on the radio. I enjoy almost everything but am partial to TNOTG, Knowing Me Knowing You, The Visitors, SOS, Cassandra (beautiful lyric retelling the story of the doomed prophetess cursed to never be believed and who warned of the Trojan Horse), The Piper, Soldiers, Like An Angel Passing Through My Room. Enjoyable to watch you explore the delicious oddity that was this band. Thank you.

[@kathrynkissane5144]

ABBA!!!!...as little girls, my childhood bestie and I ate them up...our older sisters played them endlessly on the turn table/record player, and Carrie and I (we still close af) were so in live. They made us feel feelings we were still to young to name, but we sure FELT those feelings!!!!!!🙂

[@paulj.mancil7987]

Lasse Hallstrom said that creating the ABBA videos was a film school for him. He directed the hugely-popular "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" film.

[@monicamad1285]

Anni Fri had a big hit in 1982. She went by the name Frida. It's called I Know There's Something Going On. 🤘

[@marcodebrabander5751]

And to turm the stone. Just as good!

[@coryspang7548]

I've been listening to these songs since I was a toddler in the mid-2000s. I keep coming back to them even now as a sophomore in college.

[@annarehnlund6221]

The album I like the most is the album that's called just The Album and that's their best period of producing music in my opinion. On The Album you have great songs like Thank you for the music, One man one woman, Move on and not to mention the fantastic Eagle. I'm from Sweden and I've been listening to ABBA all my childhood and they are THE most amazing band I've ever seen or heard. I still listen to them today. I'm borne and raised in the small town where the designer who made their costumes, Owe Sandström, come from, Härnösand, Sweden. You do great reactions on the videos. You can see and hear the talents of these people in a interesting way and you pic up all those fine effects and musical ideas that you can hear in ABBAs music. Great channel! Thumbs up! 😊👍

[@ft2188]

Enjoy watching your ABBA reactions, thank you for making them. Please add "On and On and On" & "Me and I" (from the Super Trouper album) to your list of reactions! 🙏🙏

[@niklasherneryd4754]

I have seen all your ABBA-reactions! It is nice to see you get ABBA, who I did grew up with. Best pop-band ever… ABBA-gold has now been over 1000 weeks in top 100 albums in UK, which was released over 10 years after they stopped play together, for almost 40 years at least. It says how popular they still are. The third release came out today Just A Notice, from the new album. It is a happy good one - sound like swedish danceband-music. Then I am surprised you have not reacted to the great ’I have a dream’ - one of their biggest hits!!! Cheers!

[@pg-rd7ik]

Loving the ABBA reactions - I believe their last release (certainly in the U.K.) was called Under Attack (December 1982). Check it out, it has a totally different vibe, whilst being unmistakably ABBA.

[@Tom_McMurtry]

Mid late 70s to early 80s. Anything after their first two albums are amazing, and their first two are real fun too

[@marcelparrilla915]

very smart comments about ABBA. Thank you for your appreciation of this great music.

[@simu31]

It still amazes me the lyrical genius to be able to write a song about literally anything. FFS, the song is about an effing spotlight.

[@eduardooscar309]

My favourites years of ABBA: from singles "S.O.S." (1975) to "Chiquitita" (1979) from albums "ABBA" (1975) to "Arrival" (1976) & "The Album" (1977)

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus (the two "B's" in ABBA...) are two songwriters that definitely think outside the box - and their brilliant play on words is iconic. May I suggest "EAGLE", "HAPPY NEW YEAR" and "VOULEZ-VOUS" by ABBA - great tracks!

[@contraryMV]

Hachi: A Dog's Tale is a great movie by Lasse Hallstrom if you feel like crying your heart out. I didn't know what a Super Trouper was either, until I watched an ABBA doc. this weekend. lol. 40+ yrs in the dark, but always loved this song anyway.

[@jeffreyparker8329]

Favourite time, my friend, is all of it! They are the joy of my life ...

[@halldorra]

If you want to hear Benny sing,listen to Suzy hangaround,from the Waterloo album

[@paulgoffin8054]

Listen to the lyrics! The girls are singing about the loneliness of touring. "Facing 20000 of your friends, how can anyone be so lonely". But, tonight, she's not going to be sad - her lover is in the audience, somewhere out there, though she can't see him as she's blinded by the super trouper lights. That is the "secret" with ABBA - it's always all there in the lyrics.

[@josue-joshuacordova3847]

My favorite ABBA's is from 1979's till 82

[@lottelarsen2918]

One of my favorites from ABBA is "Rock me" 😊❤

[@catschorus4684]

Try the Day Before You Came - One of Abba's masterpieces

[@annesmith2259]

That’s a classic!!! Covered by Blancmange as well

[@paulecrosby2006]

Yes it's a Hauntingly beautiful Masterpiece ♥

[@katarinawikholm5873]

Stunning and creepily dark, strongly recommended

[@supastah68]

Do it!!!

[@JL-ns2md]

Tv Documentary from Australia on KZbin: Sunday Night - Thank you for the music

[@richardtaylor1905]

My favourite ABBA era is '76-'79, so the more disco-influenced sound. Please try The Name of The Game, Does Your Mother Know?, Hole in Your Soul (a non-single track) and Summer Night City. Their 1981 onwards sound is amazing too in a darker, electronic 80's way (no Honey Honey vibes on The Visitors album at all). Thanks for the reactions!

[@OysterPir8]

Visitors is amazing.

[@kevinferrin5695]

Bjorn is a genius with lyrics. It's hard to find evidence that English isn't his native language.

[@greenjack6950]

Since many years...

[@FrankHerfjord]

not hard. "music's high" in Dancing queen? "high" is the same word as "loud" in swedish. "i'm still free" in Take a Chance on Me? "free" is meant to be "available". By some miracle it still work but the cringe is real in a huge number of songs when you are a scandinavian native.

[@diy_lothar4422]

@@FrankHerfjord They also sing "you can dance with me honey if you think it's funny" in Does Your Mother Know. They obviously meant "fun", funny doesn't make any sense in that context.

[@nirmalsuki]

@@FrankHerfjord Free means available in English in most places

[@JadMock]

You do know Swedish wrote oops I did it again and I want it that way and many many many other massive hits that generally don't make sense

[@josue-joshuacordova3847]

Your analysis on ABBA's lyric is right on point. You are on the right track, yes. That's ABBA, their content , I used to go back and read some more about their lyrics, the titles of their tracks, etc.

[@franki7]

The B side was called THE PIPER .listen to that you won't be disappointed

[@sherrysmalley4065]

The whole of this particular album is a fave! Best wishes from Brisbane Australia ❣

[@bernardweis5732]

An incredibly uplifting sound

[@electromaniac1]

This was the last song written for the album Super Trouper which gave the album its name. It replaced another song, Put on your white sombrero, which originally was going to be included on the album. A song with latin flavors as Fernando. It finally saw the light of day on the 4 cd box set Thank you for the music in 1994. A song worth checking out.

[@johnr8095]

Super trouper is the strobe light that is flashed on them while they are in concert.

[@eknapp49]

If you want to dig into Bjorn and Benny as songwriters I would suggest the video for the song "One Night In Bangkok" from the musical "Chess." They wrote the musical.

[@OysterPir8]

or Tommy Körberg's studio recording of Anthem.

[@rikardsguitar]

You have to react to ABBA - Thank You For The Music🙌😍

[@danfrost3043]

ABBA = Something For Everyone. Enough Said. BTW at the risk of sounding condecending "Super Troupers" are the name (In showbusiness) for those flashing lights which is why she points to them when they sing the chorus.

[@kimbercole2657]

I really appreciate that you take the time to research and learn all you can about what you are listening to (lyrics, band member names, dynamics of the group, etc...) and to gain a overall comprehensive understanding about the history and relevance of the music/band that you are reacting to, hardly anyone else reacting to videos does this.

[@robertdinmore1971]

Lasse directed all but the last 2 videos The Day Before You Come and Under Attack. He would shot 2 videos a day making them very cheap to produce. ABBA are one of the 1st to use videos to promote there songs as they didn’t like to travel too much because Agnetha and Bjorn had 2 young children. Lasse also directed the Film ABBA The Movie. This film followed ABBA 1977 tour of Australia, although the plot line was thin it does contain some excellent live footage

[@Davey7358]

Dude! "Summer Night City" Live version! You'll be blown away!

[@lizstratton9689]

This song has the best line EVER ... 'I called you last night from Glasgow' which is a Scottish industrial town and the last place on earth you would think Freda had visited.

[@phammars]

Watch this one. Song of the earlier days. Just fantastic. ABBA - TIGER (from "The Movie", Australia 1977) 1080p & High quality audio

[@rdwulf6289]

This was their ninth and final number 1 in the UK. Name of the Game from 1977 is my favourite.

[@yussepig6629]

One of Us was number 1 too but they decided not to do an official chart that week. Ridiculous!

[@markushanshesse188]

I'm an ABBA Fan since 76 because of SOS. Please react to Eagle (Unique long Version) Wonderful

[@paulecrosby2006]

It as to be said that their music cheers you up.

[@and1ben694]

My favorite ABBA era is 1972-1982

[@guyswing]

Another suggestion "I've been waiting for you"

[@StudeSteve62]

ABBA were pretty much a 70s band; they broke up in 1982, with only their last album, The Visitors, being released in that decade. (As it happens though that is my favourite of their projects, and I'm very fond of A&U's post-ABBA stuff also..."Story Of A Heart" by the Benny Andersson Orchestra, for example, or some of the songs from the musical "Chess"...)

[@paulsparks7035]

Should I laugh or cry,. Very different.

[@stansolo4138]

..... and very good

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

And the masterpiece, The Visitors!

[@OysterPir8]

Yes! Absolutely spectacular! I think you'd like it a lot! The production is amazing.

[@liorean]

Most people seem to prefer their early stuff, but I always liked their Visitors album and the additions made after the band, while not officially breaking up, simply never returned to the studio.

[@Pronzini1]

The Super Trouper are the Spotlights

[@paulknight9998]

Favourite period soundwise: 1979-1982.

[@popcult]

When All is Said is Done is Frida and Benny’s break up song. PLEASE react to it! Thank you.

[@Warriorking.1963]

I didn't know that, great comment and thanks for posting.

[@slucas60]

Love this! I haven't seen you do "DANCE (While the Music Still Goes ON)" Might be about the time they were separating?? IDK. Would like your REACTION!

[@ChuckHackney]

They updated classic music and chords for the modern era. So melodic!

[@sudicalwig]

I'm glad for you. Now that you're a fan, ABBA will be with you for the rest of your life. =)

[@greenjack6950]

They were something...so good.

[@raloria9173]

Not sure if anyone's suggested it yet (they probably have), but their song "Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)" also has one of the guys singing the lead vocals. Oh, and I don't have a favorite time period for ABBA. I loved it all! I grew up with their music. I honestly believe there is not one bad ABBA song. They had good songs and greater songs. Not a bad one in the bunch!

[@jean-paulnewcombe9042]

Love your work, love your point of view, keep it up big fella

[@herrbonk3635]

Director Lasse Hallström wasn't prominent or famous in the 1970s though, not even in Sweden. (Although he made some good and entertaining films.) He was just a friend of Björn and Benny, willing to do that job.

[@user-mv6he6gl8m]

These guys are different. I'll keep that quote:)

[@electromaniac1]

The movie that got Lasse Hallstrom attention was his Swedish movie My life as a dog from 1985.

[@TangoEliott]

Look for something totally different, their most sensual song is Andante, Andante. It is different than the ones you have done and it is quite spectacular.

[@nirmalsuki]

Frida is pure class. Everything she does is pure magic

[@marinastone4747]

I appreciate your comments they were different, Today's translation is "Influencer" but as she sings Super Trooper if you look it up, it is what it is🤟

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

Frida made this sweater popular - crazy.

[@wawa2]

As far as favorite era, to be honest, they kept getting better and better (if that is possible) with their craft. Later songs like The Visitors, Lay All Your Love On Me, One Of Us, and so many more, according to wikipedia, you have a lot of discography to get through LOL: "The discography of Swedish pop music group ABBA consists of studio albums, two live albums, seven compilation albums, three box sets, five video albums, seventy-three singles, and forty-two music videos. This list does not include solo material performed by individual members." Singles: 73 Studio albums: 8 Compilation albums: 7 Live albums: 2

[@Intheknow-c8w]

ABBA Documentaries: Secrets of their greatest hits documentary When all is said and done documentary Thank you for the music documentary When four become one documentary The joy of Abba And also you need to watch Abba the movie. Thats from their Australia tour

[@Tom_McMurtry]

Was one of these a doco by an Australian news network - that one was very good although I can't recall the name

[@bernardweis5732]

Got my popcorn,,,,,let's roll!

[@plerpplerp5599]

This song reminds me of Christmas.

[@annaakin7174]

This was their last number 1 hit in 1980 please could you react to ONE OF US and THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC

[@alltimemusic9180]

I prefer the 70's, my favorite Abba album is Arrival from 1976

[@Aniballuis]

the day before you came !!!!!!!!! u won't regret!!!

[@cornerro]

the main (biggest) spotlight on the scene is called "super trouper".

[@susannewitt6112]

There is a relatively new documentary about Abba that is mainly about their music and how this particular sound came about. Unfortunately I forgot what this very good documentary is called.

[@milendaholostova]

The name "Super Trouper" goes back to the brand of spotlights used at open-air concerts and similar mass events. It is well known that ABBA did not particularly like to go on tour, preferring a calm studio environment; this is reflected in the lyrics of the song, which, in typical ABBA style, is presented as bright and optimistic, but has a touch of sadness in it. "Super Trouper" was another successful single for ABBA, becoming the band's ninth and last No. 1 single in the UK, also reaching the top of the charts in Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and West Germany. The top 5 submitted to this song in Norway, Switzerland, Austria, Mexico, France and Finland. In the USA, where ABBA never managed to reach a level of popularity close to the world, the single became only No. 45; nevertheless, the song managed to top the Hot Dance Club Play chart.

[@Congaman41]

ABBA is another word for Eternity.

[@polmus]

To go from that single song to a full series of reactions just shows how large ABBA really is, just don't get into more Swedish music, that's a rabbit hole that never ends.

[@stefanzantes8818]

ABBAs Manager Stig Andersson requested the video production costs to be kept as low as possible. I could imagine, a bill from a production like MJs Thriller would have given him an instant heart attack 😂

[@frankiebowie6174]

A super trouper is also someone who never gives up.

[@lisehw4710]

Pleeeeeeease listen to «Another Town Another Train» (the lead singer is Bjørn🙂)

[@jacquijansenjoubert7082]

Frida meant every word she sang. She was bored with the Neverending success, the shows, everything. She actually became a recluse until very recently. Primarily that feeling of hers is what split the group up.

[@phammars]

On and on and on is great, or the Visitors

[@gubbenpersson]

The third woice!!

[@rikardsguitar]

Also react to Abba- The Name Of The Game🙌👌

[@popcult]

Kisses of fire is more sensual in my opinion...”I got to the point of no returning ....”

[@rpfeifer2458]

OK - I don't post much but I have to let you know about one of their lesser known songs you need to hear. The Way Old Friends do - outstanding harmony and power in a live setting but released as a stand alone promo piece. Please kick back with your headphones and take it in - you will love it!

[@starrynight1657]

76-7 had their most consistent albums for me

[@nickchristoforou7850]

Agreed "Arrival" and "The Album" are two of the best albums of the '70's

[@bobbyyounger7632]

On your ABBA journey, since you have done a documentary, check out ABBA The Movie, also ABBA The Last Video

[@OysterPir8]

Have you done "The Way Old Friends Do" or "Slipping Through My Fingers"? Really different than the up tempo ones.

[@pauldear6660]

The spotlight is known as a super trooper.

[@TangoEliott]

This song was written by Bjorn, who had fallen in love with Lena, and missed her terribly. He wrote this about her. Frida did a great job on the lead. Life on the road is not easy, especially when he was with his ex wife and longing for someone else. Human.

[@jerrycote659]

This song was ABBA’s ninth and final number one song on the U.K. singles chart and the album also hit the top of the U.K. album charts. Another track from the same album is a banger of a song called “Lay All Your Love On Me” which doesn’t have a video but doing an audio reaction would be worth it for us fans to get your reaction to simply the song without a visual reference especially with this track kzbin.info/www/bejne/raKakGt_hdWDnKc

[@Lonely_Goat]

i think ABBA are the reason aliens didnt annihilate us

[@solmarysegui790]

Men you like abba so, you have to see the movie (mama Mia ) saludos

[@timetravellingone]

Check out "Mamma Mia' if you haven't already

[@mmanilaboy]

react to CLIMAX BLUES BAND the song is called I LOVE YOU, its one of the best love ballad ever recorded

[@elaineanderson4966]

You like that sweater! I'm sorry I don't think I can talk to you if you wear that around me LOL!

[@istvankovalik8660]

Oh God,this was such a huge hit in Europe!It was number one on the European chart for many,many weeks.

[@supastah68]

Lasse Halstrom didn’t direct The Day Before You Came. It’s a big budget video and more modern.

[@JCWiley2300]

You skipped like half the song.

[@popcult]

It’s about the negative emotional effects of fame.
