FIRST TIME HEARING Abba - Take A Chance On Me REACTION

[@VogonPoet67]

I was a metalhead back in the 80s - listening to Sabbath, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Metallica, etc., and ABBA was my embarrassing secret. Looking back, I don't think I was the only one, but none of us would have ever admitted it. I'm too old to care any more. I love them.

For me, one of the very best pop songs ever written. Beatles-esque! And Benny and Bjorn were writing in English as a Second Language, which only adds to my astonishment. The opening hook (yes, sung a cappella!) demonstrates how they managed to find an English phrase that just happened to be perfectly musical. It's a minor miracle. Anyone who speaks English as a first language would be hard-pressed to come up with something so amazing.

ABBA THE GREATEST BAND EVER NO ONE COMES CLOSE MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME

[@ralphsmoak5133]

They do have backing vocals, but in their own voices. ABBA's studio recording are layered. Usually they recorded the backing track first. Recall that music videos are studio recordings with the band members lip syncing in the video. And that goes for every artist and group. When ABBA performed live they typically used 3 backup vocalists, one male and two female. Also consider that ABBA's music videos were industry firsts, well before MTV! Check out some of their concert performances from Australia, or Wembley Arena in London.

Here's another fun fact that many people might not be aware of: The word Abba is in the New Testament. It's another name for God the Father. It actually means Daddy. As children of God it's okay to call him Daddy. It's a little more user-friendly than Jehovah or Elohim his more proper first names, there are others too but I really like Abba. We can thank Abba for Abba, (the Swedish Beatles) I'm not ashamed to say that I am a king's kid, neither should you be. Jesus is our brother or better yet our BFF. He's the reason we can even approach the Father. He paid our sin debt in full in case you didn't know. Thanks for listening.

You can't go wrong with any ABBA song really. I guess you could react to the track that really kicked off their worldwide fame; 'Waterloo.' They won the Eurovision Song Contest with it in 74 and it catapulted them into the charts in lots of countries. By the way, it's also featured in a very funny scene in the movie 'Muriel's Wedding' which I *highly* recommend for your other channel. There are other ABBA tracks in MW too. Also, if you fancy a song with a slower tempo, try 'My Love, My Life' - it's a very beautiful love song.

Waterloo and Fernando are probably my favorite ABBA songs.

[@davelister2961]

Waterloo - one of the only good songs to ever come out of the Eurovision 'song' contest. It's a glamorous pageant - a carnival-like spectacle- but it has never been about music. It's purely cultural and, mostly, political - that's why neighbouring countries almost always give each other maximum points.

[@suemcglone2151]

@@davelister2961 Yes - although I think in the early days there was at least a degree of objectivity, maybe up to the very early 80s. Certainly after that though, it just became blatantly political.

The guys are Benny (who was married to Frida) and Bjorn (who was married to Agnetha.) You recently heard Benny and Bjorn on Murray Head's "One Night In Bangkok." They were writers and contributed vocals on that one. As for more ABBA, if you want some serious disco vibes, check out "Voulez Vous" If you'd like something more serious "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is an absolute must-do. I can think of few songs...and I had ALL their albums back in the day...that I didn't love.

[@marksterner7532]

There has been a huge rebirth of Abba songs over the past decade. On Broadway and in Vegas, Mamma Mia ignited a new (recently, amongst those born long after ABBA retired) appreciation of just how great their music is. Like several other iconic groups, have done (Fleetwoood Mac, The Beatles, The Eagles, and more), ABBA wrote and performed their best music just before breaking up. "The Winner Takes It All", in my mind (even though it was not their all-time best seller), was definitely their best song, performed with the most conviction. The heartache of breaking up is clearly felt with every word Agnetha sings in her inimitable voice and style.

This group had some success in North America but they were absolutely huge in other parts of the world. South and Central America, Australia (full blown ABBA-mania there for two or three years) and Japan. They were even hugely popular on the other side of the Iron Curtain. During one year, the old Soviet Union spent their entire annual budget for foreign (Western) imports on ABBA records. Masses of hits and great album cuts to discover. The ABBA rabbit hole is deep.
