S.O.S, Knowing Me Knowing You, Chiquitita, The Winner Takes It All, Dancing Queen, Money Money Money, The Name of the Game, Angel Eyes, Take a Chance On Me, Fernando, Super Trouper, The Piper,Does Your Mother Know, Gimme Gimme Gimme. So many great Abba songs.

[@nigelwoolfmobile]

Dancing Queen is probably one of their biggest songs. Well worth a listen.

[@zwieseler]

The “gentlemen” in the group don’t just play their instruments. They are the powerhouse in ABBA. Musical geniuses.

[@4string59]

@Willow B They were the geniouses who wrote all of their songs. Benny & Bjorn

[@2864spalmer]

listen to "Does Your Mother Know". The guys do the singing in that one.

[@ChuckHackney]

Just smile and enjoy some of the lushest music of all time. The classics have inspired so much of ABBA music.

[@glenonoko4918]

Amber picked up on a characteristic of many ABBA songs, and that is while the melody and tempo may be upbeat, the lyrics are often on the melancholy side. This contrast is a big part of the appeal of their songs, some of which can be emotionally powerful if you really pay attention to the lyrics. A good example of this is their song "Slipping through My Fingers"

[@michelemercier2286]

Someone told me once that the reason he didn't like ABBA was that he liked "serious" music and they were too cheerful. He specifically mentioned this song. I replied "You know the first line of that song is "I've been cheated by you since I don't know when" Right?" He changed the subject.

[@ocogorecki]

Yes! Like the singer Lily Allen. She does the same thing.

[@pestergaines]

"Slipping through my fingers" is one that all parents can appreciate!

[@nightowl5395]

@@pestergaines yes, I would really like to see Amber's reaction to this.... 😭 I am ashamed to say that I didn't even know the song until I heard it in 'Mama Mia, the Movie' (watching in a cinema with my daughter at the time, who was just starting uni 😭) and, even now, it 'gets me' every time...

[@laurabrevitz3944]

There's nothing like "Knowing Me, Knowing You" - may have been one of their last singles, as the married couple was divorcing - where the music wasn't so happy any more, and you just get the lyrics of someone going through a divorce.

[@carinaejag]

ABBA were far ahead of their time with the layering of voices and coming with a fresh new sound. They were unique. I was lucky enough to see them live in the end of the 70's back home in Sweden. Nothing I have ever seen since can come even close to that experience.

[@todddepue681]

While it's hard not to focus on the ladies and their stunningly perfect vocals, gotta credit the guys for composing and arranging such irresistible and unforgettable songs. Usually in that little cabin in the woods where they worked. And yeah, a lot of upbeat ABBA songs actually have pretty melancholy lyrics.

[@michaelfitzgerald9166]

You should watch the movie by the same name as the song.

[@musicaficionado2974]

That's my beef with our lovely hosts. They continue branding ABBA a female band. Thanks for your comment. And no, not the musical of the same name. It totally destroyed so many wonderful ABBA songs. I know, it was not your recommendation. Just saying.

[@musicaficionado2974]

To follow up, without Bjorn and Benny ABBA would not exist as we know it.

[@stevensprunger3422]

Yeah the ladies kind of had the interesting relationship with the guys in the band which was very unpleasant for them I don’t remember the details…

[@herrbonk3635]

They sure came up with many basic melodies and ideas in that little cabin (on their Stockholm arcipelago island), but most of the work on the songs were done in a studio in town, not in the woods :D

[@bradmenpes809]

Another Benny and Bjorn masterpiece. Impossible not to feel good, smile, and dance when this song plays.

Benny (the piano player) is an absolute, one of a kind wizard when it comes to arrangements. Björn, the guitar player, is a miracle worker when it comes to lyrics. Together with the ladies they made magic. Many of their uptempo cheerfull songs have actually very dark lyrics. Try day before you came. Spine chilling, and a complete other side of Abba

[@juliemnm8273]

One of my Favorites from Abba....

[@NasaBalli]

A very famous ABBA song. SO many people all over the world love ABBA. So do I.

[@7bestthings]

Mamma Mia is a great example of ABBA's irresistible melodies, amazing arrangements, and incredible harmonies. You may want to watch the movie "Mamma Mia!" a musical starring Meryl Streep which uses ABBA's hits as it's soundtrack for one of your movie reactions. Thanks for the great video!

[@reneepatterson472]

yes they really do. i think in the movie it kind of tells and shows the story behind the songs.

[@alanheath7867]

I have listened to this song over a thousand times, went to eggs to see the stage show, then I’ve seen both movies! The Movie surprisingly is so much like the stage play. Because the way the stage was set up it conjured in you’re mind EXACTLY the place they used in the movie!!! You really need to see it. Sorry they completed the run of Mama Mia the play. It was fantastic, and played to a packed house with me watching the LAST SHOW in Vegas 2 seats shy of Front row center!!! I was sick as a dog when I went, but for 2 hrs roughly I wasn’t sick at all!! I was so caught up in what was going on on stage I got to forget I was sick!!! It was FABULOUS!!! You really need to see the movie!!!

[@sherrystanko2669]

YES!!! WATCH THE MOVIE!

[@feelingpaulie3943]

No. Don't watch the movie. They change so much about the songs. Just my thoughts. I would advise watching "ABBA - the movie" the documentary/concert tour centred around their Australian tour in the '70s.

[@merlball8520]

The "Mamma Mia" movie was awful, imo. The music was downright painful, the plot was overly contrived, and the acting was often cringeworthy. I've loved ABBA my whole life and liked most of the cast before watching the movie. I had no bias to dislike it. It was just that bad.

[@kimcutts6153]

Love Abba. ❤ They were a hit machine in the late 70s. ❤🎼🎵🎙💃🕺

[@samueltabo3390]

Mamma Mia became a musical and became a major movie musical starring Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried ❤️❤️❤️

[@ericj166]

Rob's one unique attribute is that he pauses a good song precisely at the wrong time. Time after time.

[@magneto7930]

I'm revisiting this a couple years later and I was so disappointed that two times it was paused at a very bad time. Thankfully that's definitely improved since then.

[@Shrykespeare]

Glad you're feeling better Jay! Thanks for taking one for the team! Five ABBA songs in, and you've got so many more greats to go. You'll love "Fernando", "Take a Chance On Me", "I Have a Dream", "When All Is Said and Done", "Super Trouper", and, of course, "Dancing Queen" (the ULTIMATE roller sking rink song). Have you memorized their names yet? Agnietha (ag-NYET-a) (the blonde), Anna-Frid (the brunette), Benny (with the beard) and Bjorn (without the beard).

[@chetcarman3530]

Dancing Queen has often been described by musicians, critics and producers as "The Most Perfect Pop Song Ever Recorded." Check it out.

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

One could almost pick any ABBA song, it'd be a good candidate for best pop song ever that's the neat thing about them how virtually any song from their albums could've been a single and a hit, that's how good the material was. "Mamma Mia" to me, is definitely one of the best most catchy pop songs ever I have it up there in a Top 5 with songs like "Magic" by Olivia Newton-John, Bee Gees' "How Deep is Your Love" or Cliff Richard's "We Don't Talk Anymore".

[@kyleday5026]

or also happy lyrics and sad music like dancing queen but that can also be described as happy music there that versatile.

[@benoitrenaud519]

ABBA songs are a masterclass in music production and arrangements. Just so inventive and recognizable, with each song having it’s unique sounds.

[@RMBlake007]

I'm always surprised to hear Jay and Amber say they always forget the guys when they're listening to ABBA! The guys are the writers, composers, instrumentalists, and of course an integral part of those amazing 4 part harmonies. WIthout the guys...the girls would have great voices yes, but may have never reached noteriety without them.

[@jerrycote659]

Wow Amber! ABBA are my favorite band of all time. I was in elementary school when I heard SOS and from that point right up to today there is no other band or solo artist whose music I have continuously listened to and have never tired of. So, Amber, I was impressed at your spot on recognition of how no other band can present dark and negative emotional subject matter in the lyrics, yet, they present it in a high energy, melodic, flawlessly produced record you want to just move to, and then the incredible voices in the tightest harmonies that the vocals soar even that much more. It took me years of listening before I really started appreciating just how difficult that is, not to mention that much of it was what was actually going on the lives of the two couples that made up ABBA at that time. And Jay, well, I totally agree 100% with what you said you loved about the song, those keyboards, the marimba (which you thought was a xylophone, which I agree, it does sound like it). Your focus on the instrumental portion of the song is exactly what gets me with ABBA in this track.The tension that the marimba creates during the song is unique to anything I’ve ever heard and I haven’t heard anything close to that since. But, amazingly, it doesn’t sound dated because of how well written, arranged and most importantly, the meticulous studio production techniques. So, both you guys got ABBA and in the two ways which they were genius, the ability to write the catchiest yet most intelligent pop music and be able to convey deep and personal subject matter in a bright and energetic sound. Hope you guys get to more ABBA and sooner than later while you are still fresh off this brilliant song because there are many, many other ABBA songs which hit the same way, bright pop music with surprisingly dark and personal subject matter. “Knowing Me, Knowing You” would be a great next ABBA reaction.

[@JT-ok6re]

I was a small child when this song came out, but my teen sisters love this song and would always be dancing to it! I never knew that this song was about a toxic relationship until now. The up-tempo beat was just so danceable and made you feel happy it's hard to pay attention to the words especially when you're a child.

[@queenredspecial]

That unique instrument you're hearing is a marimba, a percussion instrument kind of like a xylophone. It has wooden bars struck by mallets.

[@frauleinmona]

Amber was right, though, yeah? She knew that "Mamma Mia" meant 'my mother'!😀

[@michelemercier2286]

Actually Amber was right. The singer is talking about a relationship she shouldn't be in (example, she's been cheated by him since "I don't know when"). It's volatile, she's told him they're through and as he leaves he slams the door, but...they both know that he "won't be away too long" and that she will take him back because she's "not that strong". I mean, the chorus confirms it, as she asks "How can I resist you?" and "why did I ever let you go?" before stating "I could never let you go". And yeah, it only takes a couple of "looks" from him in order for her to "forget everything" (how he treated her). Sounds like a toxic relationship to me.

Over the course of 10 years - 1972 with "People Need Love" (before they were known as Abba they were known as just their full names (very wordy!) until they just used their initials) to 1982 with "Under Attack" the sheer number of incredible songs that they released is staggering. (They did also have a few awful ones as well!). In that 10 years they went from folk rock, to glam rock, to pure pop, disco, ballad, stage musicals style and even instrumentals. We didn't get to know them until 1974 when they won the Eurovision Song Contest and then we thought they were just a one hit wonder...it wasn't until a over a whole year later that we took notice of them again with the incredible "S.O.S." From then until 1981 they were a constant presence in the UK charts. Looking back it is hard to appreciate the sheer explosion of fantastic music that we lived through compared to today. So many fresh and new sounds. Of course the promo films you are watching of them were parodied relentlessly - and then the parodies became homages. Do try to react to the Australian films "Muriels Wedding" and "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert" which reference Abba to good effect.

You have to react to Knowing Me And Knowing You by Abba!!!

[@Thanetian577]

AHA

[@lentilovski]

this is ABBA for you - the most energic, vibrating, and dancing music and the saddest lyrics! I'm a fan of them since my teenage years and I will always be a fan of them, and from time to time a discover a new song or a new meaning in their's already "know by heart" songs.

Abba were massive in the 70's and early 80's in almost every country in the world...except the US (who only seem to know "Dancing Queen", at least until the Mamma Mia musical and films came out!). I loved Abba, even when they were seriously uncool here in the UK (mid-80's to late 90's) and they are the only artists that I could make a 40-track compilation of their best work and each track would be superb (not even the Beatles can manage that in my books). Abba remain the finest pop group ever created and the CD album of "Voulez Vous" (which has stunning bonus tracks) is easily the best pop album released in the history of music (IMHO of course).

[@ballyastrocade5672]

Abba was definitely known for more than just that song here in the USA, too -- they had 14 Top-40 hits here between 1974 and 1981, after all, and 4 of those made it to the Top 10 ("Waterloo", "Dancing Queen", "Take A Chance On Me", and "The Winner Takes It All"). I think they're one of those bands where everyone knows the *songs* , but for some strange reason people don't seem to remember the actual *name* of the song or the band that did it. Go figure. :-)

[@lisadelahaye6568]

love love love Abba. you can't go wrong with Abba

[@eduardooscar309]

"Mamma Mía" (1975) for me is the best pure pop If someone ask me for what is a pop song, i give them this video and this song "Mamma Mía" have all elements: catchy melodies, more hooks, beauty voices and harmonies, it's funny , It's an excellent pop song and in my Top 20 of all ABBA songs This is an iconic video for which in Australia they asked that "Mamma Mía" be released as a single They did it in 1975 and it was #1 in Australia for 10 weeks and ABBAmania woke up there When the single was released in England it had a slow but steady rise to #1 and from there toppling none other than 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen in January 31, 1976 Curiosly both songs have the same phrase: Mama Mía, let me go (Queen) Mamma Mía, here I go again (ABBA) "Mamma Mia" together with their predecessor "S.O.S." are the two songs that gave ABBA its musical identity as a pop group With both songs began ABBA's great series of more than 20 worldwide hits for six consecutive years 1975/1982 included: Fernando Dancing Queen Chiquitita The winner takes it all Super Trouper I think that at these point in Your reactions it's esentialy to see the first worldwide ABBA hit, and in it's context: "Waterloo" at Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton UK 1974, the night when ABBA schock the world these is the live perfomance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXfWh5iDr5Z5a8U these is an historic moment in músic I hope to see you in another reaction to ABBA songs My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Agreed, pop perfection a perfect pop song up there with the best of them in history.

[@ant16rst]

Ive known of ABBA my whole life but its only the last year or so ive realised how much they rock!

[@oldtimer7635]

The music of my youth. ; )

[@natalieburnham3300]

Love,love Abba

[@ChuckHackney]

Movies. Broadway. Top selling tunes. What this group has spawned in modern culture is beyond epic. Also don't forget their kids did some good music, too.. i think they were called Ace of Base.❤

[@michele1491]

I live in Munich and often times when I walk through the Marienplatz there will be musical groups performing and it’s often an Abba song. I love it!

[@VidiotSavante]

❤️ Great reaction Jay & Amber! ❤️🎶😎 More ABBA you need to check out next: "Waterloo" (their first single and winning entry in the 1974 EuroVision contest), "Dancing Queen", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "Does Your Mother Know", "S.O.S.", "Take A Chance On Me", and "The Name of The Game"

[@loridiekfuss6035]

These are a few songs that were playing when I went in the Navy. In the Navy by Village People, Reunited by Peaches and Herb, turn out the lights by Teddy Pendergast. Others are I will survive by Gloria gaynor. Without you by Harry Nilsson. If you like a story song, play the night the lights went out in Geogia by Vicki Lawrence.

[@zoeystar4668]

Classic ABBA, so good.

[@RosenViking]

Can you react to Take a chance on me. That has to be my favorite Abba song.

[@herrbonk3635]

You are right about the xylophone/marima. They usually used at least two layers of sound on each "instrument". That's why they brought an extra pianist, two extra guitarists, and two drummers/percussionists on stage, when they played live. Plus reeds and flutes and a small three piece choir. Sometimes violines as well

[@paulmargett9360]

Interesting fact: this song knocked "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen off the number one spot in the UK in early 1976. And Freddie actually says "Mamma Mia" in the lyrics of "Bohemian Rhapsody" 😊 Much love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@davidbowen6440]

And the top male singer of the 70 s. With. Agnetha way ahead as top female singer

[@MichaelWitkowski-dq1nr]

No small feat. 46 years later and both those songs still hold up against anything.
