I SAW IT TOO!!| Ace of Base - The Sign REACTION

[@hauhuynh6666]

“All that she wants, Beautiful life, Happy nation, Don’t turn around, Cruel summer” 🔥🔥🔥

[@beakersgarage383]

The Sign and Cruel Summer really were great albums.

[@SherriLyle80s]

They did a good cover for Cruel Summer but still like the original.

[@Drawkcabi]

I like both versions of Cruel Summer. Love all the Ace of Base sugestions!

[@MarcinP2]

Living in Danger

[@lucassales9485]

🆙

[@brandonknight6104]

Ace of Base were HUUUUGE in 1994. They ended the year with 3 of the top 10 Billboard Hits... #1- "The Sign" #9 - "All That She Wants" #10 - "Don't Turn Around"

[@Fantasy23Legend]

Facts!

[@kimwallace907]

For some reason this made Lisa Stansfield “Been Around the World” pop into my mind. I’d love to see a reaction to that one!

[@barefootanimist]

The 90s were unforgettable to those of us who grew up through them... Musically AND culturally...

[@jmarsh22]

The last decade that had really good music.

[@barefootanimist]

@@jmarsh22 I'm entirely biased, but I agree.

[@louisef1861]

I was there in the 90's but I disagree that they were unforgettable, as I appear to have forgotten most of it. I always think the 90's had a lack of good music compared to the 70's and 80's, then I hear some of the hits again and it's like, "oh yeah, that one. That was pretty good. How did I forget it"?

[@DreamsSketcher]

Agreed. But a fun decade

[@barefootanimist]

@@louisef1861 I find the 80s more forgettable, but it's because I didn't listen to much of the music that came out of that era, preferring music from the 30s to the 70s, Classical and Baroque, crossing plenty of genres. The synth sound of the 80s made me cringe.

[@missgmoma]

“Don’t turn around “ is awesome Ace of Base song too!🙌🏻

[@ragjamrock]

The original by Aswad is even better!🔥💥

[@missgmoma]

@@ragjamrock thanks for the info, I’ll check it out ☝🏼☮️

[@paulojrneto]

@@ragjamrock Actually the original is by Tina Turner (B-Side of Typical Male)

[@ragjamrock]

@@paulojrneto thanks,I thought Aswad did the original.It's still my favourite.

[@nba_fan7214]

I personally think Don't Turn Around is superior to All That She Wants

[@abmqa]

This song reminds me of the Spin Doctors, because they came out around same time. Check out Two Princes by The Spin Doctors.....nice upbeat song.....

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

👍💕

[@garryiglesias4074]

My highschool times...

[@kazbaz2011]

Great drum intro!

[@JamesS.254]

yes

[@warwickhunt]

This song is so 90s that South Park done an episode where the boys found a man frozen since 1996, put him on display as a prehistoric man and played this song on loop

[@MrParkerman6]

So 90s that Stephanie Tanner's Girl talk band did a cover on The Sitcom "Full House" AND on Fuller House with D.J. in Drums.

[@salhanen868]

Try ALL THAT SHE WANTS too..Another big hit of theirs you’d enjoy.

[@lucassales9485]

🆙

[@hyacinthdibley2420]

Yesssss

[@seriesscratchx9807]

LOVE both songs! Ace of Base kicked it in 90s.

[@AndresMUy-vd2fy]

Y Happy nation.

[@UESide]

Oh ok. So next should be Everything But The Girl “Missing” 😆

[@UESide]

*the remix version without the music video. Best quality, I think it’s on the MuzApp channel.

Yes definitely

[@manicpanic3544]

Everything But The Girl! Yas!

[@abmqa]

Love them ...so many good songs

[@BryanWicks]

The whole album is GREAT. I recommend the following cuts for maximum reaction: All That She Wants Living in Danger Wheel of Fortune Trust me, you will LOVE those songs!

[@MrParkerman6]

*Don't turn around

[@awwgez]

It really doesn't get anymore 90's than this.Their sound has always been fresh since then. I love Ace of Base hahaha.

[@stevetanner3019]

The Ace of Base song where they likely “sound” the most like ABBA would be “Beautiful Life”. Try it.

[@2Pac.Thadon]

That's a most

[@TheRetroGuy2000]

The Ace of Base song where they sound the most like ABBA is, in my opinion, Kings and Queens.

[@AndresMUy-vd2fy]

Solo los comparan gente ignorante solo por ambos ser suecos

[@danelleb.8149]

This song & Nikki French’s remake of Total Eclipse of the Heart were HUGE... there was no escaping those songs in the 90’s ... oh and Cotton eyed Joe. Hahaha.

[@guineawuv]

Oh, I can't help but love Cotton Eyed Joe, lol.

[@barefootanimist]

Because of where I heard Cotton-Eyed Joe the most, I also think of that god-awful Hamster Dance, which (I believe) came out in the late 90s...

[@paulhilling6208]

Every kids party in the early 90's

[@bradyturville7890]

Loving your comment. AoB is my #1 favorite group of all time. And Nicki French’s cover of “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”, is my #1 favorite song of all time (far better then the original by Bonnie Tyler).

[@elizabethteska6174]

I love how music can just take you right to the time when your first heard it! So powerful. Thanks for this reaction! Great, great song.

[@sirjohnmara]

Well not ABBA - but they are also from Sweden...

[@CA5124]

Yes the comparison is slightly off I agree 👍 😊 Abba are a league of their own !

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

👍💙💛

[@Saalome84Blue]

...like Roxette...

[@TheKatelinn]

@@miscelaneamix8857 the dark haired woman in ABBA ( Anni- Frid) is Norwegian/German, not Swedish.

[@andrewthezeppo]

And ABBA aren't white supremacists

[@ronnopotter]

I started to listen to music in English with this group, in the nineties I was a teenager exploring what kind of music fit better for me, and I fell in love with Ace of Base and swedish groups in general.

[@ScaryMannJK]

Ace of Base got me through middle school. I still have all of their stuff.

[@tankediatriba]

How many bands have two sisters singing and nailing it? Just Ace of Base

[@JJ-wk5wy]

Ace of Base was pretty popular here in Canada at the time. I was 12 back in 94. Alot of the kids I went to school with listened to them. Besides liking Candian musicians, I was also really into European music groups.

[@michelles9235]

I wore this CD out back in the day. I loved Ace of Base back then and now it has such good memories.

[@davidbarry7538]

A song from 28 years ago that sounds fresh and funky till this day, one of the best tunes from the 90's.

[@Scorpion-Gamer82]

All that she wants by Ace of Base is an awesome number too.

[@iEnofadov]

This was another Number 1 song for Ace of Base in Australia, back in 1994. These guys were huge here in the early 90's!

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

This one was a given EVERY TIME in aerobic Step Class during the 90's - great tempo, instrumentals and vocals to get in shape with!😀 (...and "All That She Wants" was part of the warm-up...💕) Three of the members in this group are siblings - the fourth member a friend...

[@Joelsellers29]

I would still rock this song. Abba & they are from the same country, as well!

[@GroovePlum]

Extremely catchy song. This had so much airplay back in the 90s. An equally catchy song with the same vibe was "Another Night" by The Real McCoy.

[@lasciethiesing2219]

This is a great 90's group. Their song ALL THAT SHE WANTS is a 90's classic.

[@dbell582]

The Ace of Base was my first 90s favorite band. Still love them. Great memories.

[@Roundtablist]

Ace of Base were one of producer Denniz PoP's earliest major successes. He created Cheiron Studios and began one of the most extraordinary chains of chart success of the early 90s. Going on to produce albums by the Backstreet Boys, Dr Alban, Britney Spears, among many others. In 1993, Denniz hired another producer named Max Martin who is still a major force in pop music with some of the biggest hits of the last 20 years from artists like Britney Spears, Usher, Pink, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd and Ariana Grande. Sadly, Denniz died from stomach cancer in 1998 at the age of just 35.

[@aporcelaingirl]

He died of a brain tumour, actually, but yeah, he died of brain cancer far too young. He also discovered Nana Hedin, who did background vocals on so many Cheiron and Max Martin productions, including Ace of Base's "Life is A Flower", a number of Céline Dion tracks and a whole lot of Britney Spears' songs. Look her up on KZbin and see how fantastic her voice is. She had to retire due to tongue cancer in 2009, but it's in remission now. You can find her on Instagram, too.

[@leslapins7617]

Those 2 songs are really really good! Still makes me dance and sing loudly in my car! 🥰

[@HipsterBlood]

They’re non-single tracks are absolutely amazing!!!

[@missgmoma]

Yep, love this one 👆🏻 I call them ABBA’s baby 🎯

[@genewebb2837]

since this song came out in the 90s i never get tired of listening to it. yes there are ABBA influences . both bands are from sweden. when the ABBA members were married ace of base were comprised of 2 sisters a brother and friend. definately check out beautiful life and the extended version of the sign. for years i always thought this song has a religious meaning too. during the video the members point to the sky and you see a glow or light around them. and then there's the line to get into the light where you belong. i think this as the light of god. that the singer found the sign, although the video appears its about a relationship thats ended it could also signify a religious meaning although i have never heard anyone mention this before.

[@MackerelCat]

Oh man such a guilty pleasure, I can’t help it I love this song.

[@JohnHazelwood58]

"All that she wants!" is a masterpiece of music-history! You need to check it out! :-) And they are called "ABBA" because ABBA and AoB are both from Sweden! ;-)

[@erinwoodsoprano]

They were HUGE when I was in college. All that she wants has a similar beat to this but totally worth listening to.

[@Marc-zi5cq]

They are definitely worth checking out. They wrote and produced their songs themselves. All That She Wants is their other huge huge hit. They have more worth checking out Don't Turn Around was another top 5 worldwide, Beautiful Life from their second album, Lucky Love, Wheel Of Fortune, Living in Danger...they had many great singles. The Sign and All That She Wants were the biggest. Essential on every 90s party and playlist :)

[@workinallnight2993]

It's so funny to hear someone like it so openly knowing how people reacted when it came out.

[@bemused9522]

Try Lem "Don't steal my Sunshine"...if you like this blind of groove.

[@Charsept]

Omg I forgot about that song! That should definitely be on the reaction list

[@alrivers2297]

I believe they sample the old disco song More More More by Andrea True Connection in that one.

[@Andyleobl]

Its called Len-steal my sunshine. But yes i agree its a good song.

[@quintonwilliams718]

Great song and great group, got this song on my playlist.

[@warre1]

If I remember correctly, sister with darker hair got attacked and that freaked out blonde hair sister Linn so much that she withdrew from public life.

Ace of Base "The Sign" was my first cassette, I played it few times a day 😂

[@LadyFeline3]

I think it may have been my first CD too. I can't remember for sure though. XD

You played that cassette until the machine ate it! 😏🤭😁 ➡️ 📼

So glad you are finally doing this group. Can't wait for All That She Wants. Thank you.

This was the #1 song of 1994 in the USA. Well deserved! Amazing tune. :)

Sweden!!! ABBA, Europe, Roxette, Rednex, Ace Of Base, Agnes, Swedish House Mafia, Kent, etc. The best artists, bands, producers and worldwide song writers in the world like Shellback, Max Martin and Avicii - My country is all about music, beauty and looooooove 🥰

[@ladykaycey]

If it sounds familiar it was used in alot in Pitch Perfect.

[@trixie2568]

Love that movie.

[@bagelj]

Ace of Base idolized ABBA, in their interviews they wanted to be Agnatha and Anni-frid. Some of their songs mimicked ABBAs lyrically about heartbreak. How they different is AOB their other songs are a little more cruel, a little harsh, and more in your face reality. They talk about hate and anti-hate, and racism. “The Sign” was written about that and not about a relationship of another person. “Happy Nation” was a song about confessions of racism by one of the members of the group, and has atoned from it. The band is just amazing, they were popular way before coming to America to do pop hits.

[@parappasan]

Sweden is Europe's biggest creator of international music hits for some reason. (not counting UK anymore obviously).

I used to swim at the public pool and listen to this song and Paula Abdul. Man, the 90s were so awesome.

[@trismaccarran9950]

Though I remember this from MTV, I can't recall another song by them. So I looked them up and discovered their debut album went multi platinum, and recognized two other songs, again from MTV. Aside from the 2 girls 2 guys format, they're also, like Abba, Swedish. Good reaction 🙂 Dance Little Sister- Terence Trent D'arby.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

ABBA and Ace of Base are both from Sweden, which is part of the comparison. Three of the four members of Ace of Base are siblings (Linn and Jenny and Jonas Berggren, plus Ulf Ekberg). Two of their other big hits in the U.S. were "All That She Wants" and "Don't Turn Around." Plus they had a hit with a cover version of Banarama's "Cruel Summer."

[@chrismorgan283]

This song was huge in the spring of 1994. I only remember when, because we had just been sent to California from Okinawa, and the MPs had a beach part, complete with old fashioned boom box. I think this song played a million times, and I was married to the biggest headbanger. I thought he was going to be ill after the 5th or 6th time it played. Years later, I caught him listening to it when he thought I wasn't around. I guess it grew on him...lol.

The reason Ace of Base is called the ABBA of the 90's is because both Swedish groups are the first to become global superstar. Check out All that She Wants and Beautiful Life. They did have lots of other hits in the US.
