OH MY GOSH!| FIRST TIME HEARING Abba - Money Money Money REACTION

[@ferryspiering8899]

Fantastic you discover ABBA as being Americans. They were massive and still are popular today. Incredible after 50 years

[@thomasberry4678]

Regarding marrying "a rich man", in an unusual twist Anna-Frid became a very wealthy princess by marrying a Swiss prince from the ancient Swiss House of Reuss.She is also a countess

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

Frida did not need a man to get rich. It has been estimated that each member of ABBA owns at least $200 000 000.

[@Shartsmear]

@@klausolekristiansen2960 She also didn't write the song it was Bjorn and Benny

[@andymageen5308]

The production values on Abba recordings were legendary, the overlaying harmonies are still revered by artists today. The orchestrations by Bjorn and Benny were masterful and the band was a true global phenomenon ✌️

[@gotham61]

Anni-Frid Lyngstad who is singing lead had a hit in the 80s. Her song "I Know There's Something Going On" (lookup "Frida" on KZbin) is definitely worth a listen... typical 80s song

[@Mingus8]

Abba is like California wine, you never get a bad one.

[@paulmargett9360]

There's no such thing as a bad Abba song 😂 The thing about Abba is that all there songs are different but instantly recognisable as Abba. Try "Does your Mother know" for a different sound as the boys sing the majority of it. Or "Eagle" which is a favourite of mine. Much love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@clivenewman4810]

"Eagle" is a forgotten classic.

I love "Does your Mother know", but I don't see many reactions to it.

[@flatandsplat]

Knowing Me Knowing You is a personal favourite. A bit of a different vibe for them too

[@andrasgyuris8009]

This song was from the golden era of economic rise and growt in Europe (in the seventies) where living standards were in continous increasement and vast majority of the population did so well. it's obvious that the number of wealthy people was also in increasing trend in those years.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Frida soars on this song! She has this incredible deep velvet voice that adds a bit of drama or comfort (depending on the song) to any song ❤ a few other Frida songs that I think are standout ABBA songs are: The Visitors, Knowing Me Knowing You, Fernando, I Let the Music Speak, Should I Laugh or Should I Cry, I Wonder, Why Did it Have to Be Me (Live 1977), and Tropical Loveland

[@stormy8207]

I think Waterloo was their break out. They won Eurovision with it I believe. They were extraordinary pop artists and the men wrote the songs.. or most of them.

[@JRcomments]

1974 and that is correct. Their Eurovision contest win started their fame because nothing famous was supposed to come out of Sweden back then.

[@jerryday813]

“Waterloo”!

[@gingers.5933]

Waterloo was the song that won them Eurovision.

[@ginalashley1265]

Benny and Bjorn wrote all of their songs. In the beginning their manager Stig Anderson helped with some of the lyrics on their earlier stuff.

[@hackapump]

True, the guys wrote and produced the songs. But the girls had a lot of input into the vocal arrangements - and those are legendary. By the way, Agnetha was a successful songwriter in her own right, with several self penned hits in her native Sweden, before ABBA was even founded. (Frida had hits as well, but she didn’t write songs).

[@Vikinggirl1679]

Hey great song and reaction . Just 2 words... MORE ABBA! Try their song Fernando, incredible harmonies. Dancing Queen is probably their biggest hit. The official videos for both of those is best

[@mirjanabittar7781]

[@tjsogmc]

I've had the privilege of seeing ABBA twice in concert and both times they knocked it out of the park. Check out "Eagle" next, it's probably the most beautiful song ever recorded.

[@joannecunliffe8067]

I love "Eagle" too. The whole of "ABBA: The Album" is fabulous. I also like "I'm a Marionette". I love "Tiger" from ABBA Arrival as well.

[@tjpea7916]

Yes!! One of their best. In my top 5 ABBA songs

Eagle is spectacular but the long (album) version is where it really soars. Sorry, bad pun, lol. It's yet another example of Abba creating something different.

Love your reaction. Yall would love Does Your Mother Know by ABBA. It's my favorite by them. Dancing Queen is another great one too.

Anni-Frid Lyngstad has had a very interesting life. From being ostracized by her country after ww2 to becoming part of one of the most popular singing groups of all time and even becoming a countess, what a life. Great song, great group!

[@Whyskerz]

For this song, Benny and Bjorn got their inspiration from 'Cabaret', a 1972 Oscar-winning movie musical set in 1930s Berlin. You should check out Liza Minnelli and Joel Gray performing the very similarly titled 'Money Money' from that film!

[@leemallard]

"Eagle" which is a favourite of mine. is a good listen

[@starwood213]

Fridas voice is glorious in this.

When this song came on the radio in Australia, a lot of ABBA fans were shocked by how different it was and many were hesitant to like it. But after a while people slowly realized that it was actually a brilliant song and it went to number 1 on the charts anyway.

[@HippiMikki]

Very 'spy movie' like. Another one of the amazing songs regularly referenced in movies about music is "Thank you for the Music" :).

[@tommywalker9437]

Try their first big hit ( eurovision winners) Waterloo. That was the start of their journey.

[@Yaktahbay]

"Waterloo" introduced ABBA to the world and remains a favorite of mine. And, if you want to hear Anni-Frid (Frida) carry the show, the last song on their last album (before reuniting), "Like An Angel Passing Through My Room" is her, solo, with no backing vocals whatsoever. And it's beautiful.

[@tonks1968]

Just adore ABBA….you could listen all night and not find a bad track. I love Knowing me knowing you, the day before you came and Eagle….all stunning. I’m a heavy metal fan but my buddies don’t know that ABBA is my favourite band lol… brings a tear to me eye when I’ve had a whisky!!!

[@eduardooscar309]

Hello , so nice to see you again reaction to ABBA songs "Money money money" (1976) it is a very good song in a different musical style, cabaret type, set in another era "Money money money" is the single that followed "Dancing Queen" and reached # 3 in the UK, #1 in Australia and several European countries. It is a totally different song from its predecessor "Dancing Queen" and also from its successor "Knowing me knowing you" This is the versatility of ABBA, they go from genre to genre, as well as from success to success The song lends itself very well to the brunette Frida's lower voice, the choruses are sharper in contrast (and very catchy) The instrumentation is excellent The official video is one of ABBA's best, very creative, it shows Them in fashion situations and also with their famous kimonos But a few months before ABBA premieres the new official lyric video of "Money money money" I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs My best regards to You from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

[@markvollmer4021]

One of their later recordings "Me and I" is an epic dance tune. You'll really enjoy it. 🙂 There will never be another group like ABBA.

Thank you both for spreading so much happiness and love! I think as parents of young children you may enjoy and relate to ABBA’s Slipping through My Fingers. It wasn’t a big hit for them but anyone who has experienced parenthood can certainly relate to the song.

[@Robbyrool]

You know, there is something so theatrical about Abba songs. I could see someone making a musical show or movie featuring Abba songs.

[@mharris7380]

Some years back, the British band Erasure did some quality Abba covers and released them on an EP called Abba-esque and then shortly after an Australian Abba tribute band called Bjorn Again, styled themselves on Abba and did some Erasure covers and called the EP, Erasure-ish. Bjorn Again are still going and currently touring the UK.

[@Flatwoodsdad]

Today Frida's official title is - Princess Anni-Frid Reuss, Dowager Countess of Plauen. The thing about ABBA is they took a swing at about every genre of music out there. And they polished that genre with ABBA perfection. I think thats why so many musicians have such respect for them.

This song was my introduction to ABBA back in the mid-70’s and I still remember being a young teen bouncing around the living room singing with Frida. You NEED to listen to “Waterloo”! They won the Eurovision contest singing that song and it launched them. Also, about their videos…they were in the very early wave of singers producing music videos. Agnetha especially hated to leave her children for tours and they decided to produce the videos so that their fans could see them perform.
