The keyboard riff is such a killer.Still sounds EXOTIC even after more than 4 decades of release.Abba are unsurpassed!Utopic!

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Christiano, nice to hear from you again. Yes exotic is a great word to describe it. They are amazing...one of a kind 🤩🥰

[@eduardooscar309]

Hello again, so happy to see you with your new reaction to ABBA songs "Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" is a song influenced by American disco, after the success of the Bee Gees and the movie 'Saturday night fever" from the year before In this song you can see part of the volume and range of voice that the blonde singer Agnetha has ABBA was preparing their 1979 Tour of America and Europe, in the previous one , They recorded this song and filmed the official video (at these time Agnetha & Björn wasn''t more a couple) These is an official video in which all ABBA is seen in the recording studio, including staff musicians (bass, guitarist and drummer) and sound engineer Michel Tretow at the controls, creator of the well-known 'ABBA sound' with his innovative 'wall of sound' multiplication technique (an adaptation of the works of Phill Spector) These is a short versión, the recording of the single is more than 4 1/2 minutes (with a solo instrumental) But in last months ABBA did a new official lyric video of "Gimme gimme gimme" full versión The introduction and the instrumental ending, that characteristic sound of Benny's keyboards, is what Madonna used for her worlwide hit "Hung Up" in 2005, 26 years later... (with the permission of the composers Björn and Benny, granting them share the credits) Surely for the latter, with almost 370 million views, this is the second official ABBA video with the most views on KZbin (behind "Dancing Queen", which has almost 690 million views) and also for this last reason, surely "Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" is much more popular now than in its time when it was released it was #3 in the UK, it wasn't even released in the US now also a centerpiece at the new ABBA Voyage concerts in London Another interesting date is that these is one of songs tgat ABBA recorded in spanish: "Dame Dame Dame" (1980) and ABBA performed it in an interview to Spanish TV Thank you again for these video See you in the next ; GOD bless you My best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

[@playitagainsue]

Hello Eduardo, so nice to connect with you again. Thank you so much for all the information. I had no idea this was a shorter version or that it had been done in Spanish as well...very cool fun facts. It is a fantastic song and I agree it is more popular now then when it came out. I will definitely do more Abba for you. 🤩💜

[@paulecrosby2006]

One of the best groups ever ❤️

[@playitagainsue]

I agree, 100%, Paul. They are amazing!! 🤩

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Btw Madge and ABBA shared copywritting credits for 'Hung up' and as Benny had said it was a fair share. when asked.This went no1 in 41 countries in 2005.Record guiness book referenced.

[@playitagainsue]

Wow, ok that was definitely fair. Ir was a monster hit for Madonna. Glad Abba got a piece of that pie. It definitely paid off for sure. Thanks for that, Christiano 😀

[@supastah68]

Best Band Ever

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Supasta, yes they are amazing!! 🤩💜

[@davek7256]

The smiles on your faces says it all. Brilliant song, ABBA can do no wrong in my eyes. It was of course famously sampled in Madonna’s “Hung Up”, itself a fantastic song - maybe react to that one next and compare!

[@playitagainsue]

Oooh great idea, Dave!! Yes how can Abba not bring smiles to our faces. Rhey are just so good!! 😁💜

[@paulecrosby2006]

"The day before you came " is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece by them.

[@playitagainsue]

Oooh yes, Paul! Great pick. It is a masterpiece. It does have a different feel for them. Honestly Abba has so many songs that are so incredible, they are masterpieces. They are so original and so talented 🤩

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Hey i'm glad you noticed the way FRida also wears the headphones.You know, many viewers comment very often on Agnetha's way of wearing them in the forehead but Frida also does it by hiding them. under her hair lol.

[@playitagainsue]

Yes Christiano, I love how they are both wearing them. It is fun to see it.....don't want to mess their hair i guess :)

[@kylecompton3305]

PRICELESS! Great reaction!

[@playitagainsue]

Thank you so much, Kyle. I appreciate the kind words and for you tuning in 🤩💜

[@stardemonspacecat]

Agnetha 😍

[@alejandrosantanaborquez917]

Hi, girls... and happy 8M by the way 🥳❤️ This is a fenomenal disco song👌even almost 50 years later. Please more ABBA 🙏. See ya... Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱😘👍

[@playitagainsue]

Hey Alejandro, you said it perfectly. It is not only a great disco song but just a great song in any genre. It is really quite perfect. I wouldn't change one thing about this song. And for sure there will be plenty more Abba songs for you. 🤩

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Yes ladies, this is a great ABBA song, and you are right to make so much mention of the video for it .. Because this is indeed a wonderful video, showing studio footage of the recording, and it is great to see .. Such a fun feeling and so interesting to watch .. My request for one of your next ABBA reaction songs would be "When I Kissed The Teacher" .. One of my ABBA faves !

[@playitagainsue]

You got it Wayne! When I kissed the teacher. I will do it just for you. I really enjoyed watching the goings on in the studio. It made me feel like I was a part of the recording...so very cool 🤩💜

[@malcolmbrown7683]

Yes great video, only problem is that the instrumental section was left out.

[@wayne_twentyfive]

@Malcolm Brown True .. Would have been good to see a bit of that section too.

[@helenpeterson]

You two are so cute, love your appreciation of ABBA.

[@playitagainsue]

Thanks so much for your kind words, Helen. I appreciate you tuning in and watching. We do love Abba 🤩💜

[@helenpeterson]

​@@playitagainsue ​@Play It Again, Sue! I have been a diehard fan for over 48years. You can never go wrong with ABBA. Have you heard their new music ? Worth a reaction or two. I Still Have Faith In You and Dont Shut Me Down the main ones from their Voyage Album.

[@playitagainsue]

@@helenpeterson Wow, you are a true fan!! I don't know their new music. I will react to some new ones for you 🤩

[@helenpeterson]

@@playitagainsue that would be awesome. Yes my love for them will never die.

[@johanschonewille5675]

🎉👍👍👍

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

One of the best songs ever. Another one: The Day Before You Came.

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Tuija, I agree...amazing song. Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely get to that one. 🤩

[@petterhansson7312]

Cheers from Sweden. Do more ABBA!! Please! "Name of the game" is a stunner, complex and a good choice. "Mamma Mia" is ground-breaking and you will see why when you watch the video. I think you also should do "Andante, andante". It is under-rated but a fantastic love song from a female perspective. A couple of other great love songs are "I have been waiting for you" and "My love, my life". The former is often played at weddings here in Sweden. P.S. Please make a playlist for your ABBA reactions. It makes it easier for your audience to check out what ABBA reaction you have already done.... and to find them.

[@playitagainsue]

Tack Petter, Greetings back from here in Canada. I appreciate all your suggestions and there most definitely will be more Abba coming your way. I didn't know some of the songs you mentioned so they will be fun to check out. I will definitely make a playlist for my Abba videos. I thinkI have only done 3 so far so it will be a short playlist now but it will grow over time for sure 🤩💜

[@petterhansson7312]

@@playitagainsue Thank you yourself for interesting review and a good work. Superficially, ABBA seems to be about the ladies voices, the harmonies, the production, or the tunes. But, at least as important are the lyrics and it is very rewarding to give them some attention. The later in ABBA's career, the more important the lyrics got. Hence, some of their best work is unfortunately under-rated.

[@playitagainsue]

@@petterhansson7312 I agree 100%, Petter, Very well said 👏

[@Flatwoodsdad]

Thanks for the ABBA. If you haven't seen the live from Wembley video is even better at showing off their skills. Agnetha hits those notes, holds them and adds vibrato at this end with such perfection. And it's even more uptempo. I'm sure any ABBA reactions will get views but if you're looking for requests "The Day Before You Came" from their last appearance on on "'Show Express" in 1982 is one pf my favorites.

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Flatwoodsdad, I have not seen the live performance uou mentioned so I will check it out. I have had other requests for the day before you came today so I will definitely do that one for you. Thanks so much for tuning in and commenting 🤩

[@jamessayers4046]

greetings from Australia! My husband wanted this song included in the play list at our wedding, go figure 🤣btw love your reactions!

[@playitagainsue]

Haha 🤣 🤣, James I love that...of course he did. Thanks so much for your kind words and for tuning in. I appreciate it 🤩💜

[@robertschatz7781]

At first, Björn declined Madonna's request. "Write your own songs" he replied. Madonna followed up by sending them a copy of the already-recorded song and, after listening to the record, they agreed. Ulveus and Anderson are mentioned among the writers on the single, so royalties go their way too. Speaking about happiness and feel-good songs, in my opinion 'Bang-a boomerang' is top of the list. If you do 'The day before you came' as suggested by others, please do 'Cassandra' as well from the same Express Show.

[@playitagainsue]

Interesting fun fact, Robert. Thanks for that. Well "hung up" worked for them all then. I will definitely do more Abba for you. I will check out those songs you mentioned. 🤩

[@silasantares731]

ABBA é incrível. Você e sua amiga reagiram magnificamente. Gostariam que vcs reagissem a Angel eyes, move on, soldiers, the pipet...

[@Mr.Green627]

If it was possible I would travel right back to the 70s. 👊🌟🥂🙏❤️

[@playitagainsue]

And I would be on the seat right beside you, Ken! Such a great time for music and a much more laid back time 😀💙

[@Mr.Green627]

[@eduardooscar309]

one more comment I think it's great that the next reaction to ABBA's songs is... "The name of the game" (1977) because it's a fantastic song, very complex and brilliant at the same time, and because it's one of the nine ABBA singles that went #1 in the UK So far you have made 3 ABBA reactions: S.O.S. (1975) Hole in your soul (1977) Gimme Gimme Gimme (1979) all three are very good songs (especially "S.O.S." is a Rock & Pop Masterpiece), but neither was #1 in UK these nine songs have a plus, they are pure dynamite: Waterloo Mamma Mia Fernando Dancing Queen Knowing me knowing you The name of the game Take a chance on me The winner takes it all Super Trouper and I wish you to have them as a priority for future reactions to ABBA with "Chiquitita" too that although it was #2 in the UK is the biggest success of ABBA in HispanoAmerica

[@playitagainsue]

You got it, Eduardo! I will definitely be doing the big 9 for you 🤩

[@eduardooscar309]

​@@playitagainsue thank you so much for your lkind words Surely all ABBA fans will enjoy these undisputed greatest hits All nine have official videos and TV presentations to choose which one to take I would only make an exception with "Waterloo", because their live performance at Eurovision 1974 is historic, iconic and exciting. there the 'ABBA Legend' was born and that is why I consider that it is more important to see that performance in competition than any other video (but Is only my opinión)

[@laurapowell3460]

Ladies I really enjoyed this one, “the 1967 cover of vogue and blue M&Ms? I’ll get em!!” 😂 My suggestion for you is ‘If It Wasn’t for the Nights’ it’s been doing the rounds on the reaction vids recently. Its a hidden gem and there’s a couple of fun live performances of this knocking around on KZbin 👍

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Laura, thanks for tuning in and for the suggestion. I have never heard the one you mentioned so I would be happy to check it out. There is a small joke about the blue m&ms between Chels and me. Early this year when we started the channel, Chels was joking around about me not providing her what was in her rider and the main thing was her blue m&ms. I believe the 1st mention of them was in the chic video, Freak Out but i could be mistaken. Anyway the blue m&ms have been mentioned 3 or 4 times in other videos. I actually presented her with them in a video...i think CCR vid but again I could be mistaken haha. Anyway it is a running joke that pops up every once and a while 🤩

[@laurapowell3460]

Aaah that makes it even better! I’ve only just found your channel so I’ll definitely check your other stuff !!

[@playitagainsue]

@@laurapowell3460 Awesome! So glad to have you along for the ride 🤩💜

[@RalphWigg1]

Try 'I Can Be That Woman' from the Voyage album.

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Ralph, thanks for that one. I don't know it so I look fwd to checking it out 🤩

[@bloodmoon3155]

As an abba fan. I would recommend Dimash. Trust me u have never seem a singer like him nor a human being. It's literally beyond description. Now with Dimash u have to listen to at least 10 songs just to start to understand his world of music. I will suggest, Stranger. Hello. Ocean over time. Ave Maria. Adagio. Sos, and many more. Trust me u will feel like u entered a whole new universe.

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Blood Moon, thanks so much for the suggestion. I have never heard of him and would be happy to check him out. 😀

[@jasonbutt7199]

I think Voulez Vous is the Best Song ever

[@playitagainsue]

It is a great song, Jason! We will get to that one too. Thanks for tuning in 🤩

[@elfiero4]

It's good that you liked this song, it shows that you really like ABBA, the best pop group in history! Can you react to Dancing Queen? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnfVeKivrJaJbtU .It is his best song and one of the best in the history of music!

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Arturo, it is an amazing song. One of my favourites by them. I will definitely do Dancing Queen for you 🤩💜

[@scottfarley3644]

ABBA did over 100 songs. Try reacting to others instead of the same, worn out, tired stuff. How about these? Soldiers, I am the City, Should I laugh or cry? When all is said and done, I let the music speak, Our last summer, Eagle, I can be that Woman,

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Scott, thanks for the suggestions. I will check into them for you 🤩
