WOW! I have *NEVER* known you guys not to pause the song at least once, and it's such a testament to this track that you couldn't bring yourself to do it! It just builds and builds and gets better, and better, and better. LOVED both of your reactions. Always thought this song was underrated!!!!

Top ten - I can try 1. The Name Of The Game 2. Gimme Gimme Gimme 3. The Winner Takes It All 4. Knowing Me, Knowing You 5. One Of Us 6. Take A Chance On Me 7. My Love, My Life 8. Chiquitita 9.

This '70s gem was a follow up to "Waterloo' single in Germany where it peaked at no2 but remained in the top 5 for 4 whole months with a whole of 22 weeks in the charts there!Twas really huge for a new coming band!

[@alexioverdo5225]

@marvinquezada7203 Yes i agree on this.

[@alexioverdo5225]

@marvinquezada7203 'Ring Ring' 'was in similar style to 'Waterloo' but not the right decision at the time since HH was available and different.Abba finally decided to change their policy and after 1975 almost every single they released was different style to its previous.

[@genewebb2837]

In the US this was the next single after Waterloo that sounds didn't get me hooked on it was honey-honey that got me hooked and from then on I bought everything Abba put out it's definitely one of my top 10 favorites as well as hasta manana

Abba classic how many key changes goes up another level ..an then just gets stronger as the song goes on chorus is outstanding how abba does it is excellent quality.. they took music to another level .🙏

[@tomasringstrom9380]

I think its the total abundance of musical ideas in just one song that is a trademark with Abba. Many song writers would make three or four songs out of this one and they'd all be fairly good ones. Its so fun to see you react at the same moments in the music that I myself have done through my 54 years alive 🇸🇪

[@tootsie5052]

"Honey Honey" is a great song but "I've Been Waiting for You" perfectly captures the essence of ABBA,s one of a kind iconic sound.

[@eduardooscar309]

So happy to see you again, Mariss & Tyler, return with more ABBA songs in your channel and un our ABBA journey Congratulations on your reaction to "Honey honey" (1974) very good and catchy song It is from the post "Waterloo" era of 1974, when ABBA was looking for its second success, and the revival of "Ring ring", plus the single "So long" did not achieve great impact and they had to wait for 1975 with the approach of "I do I do I do I do I do" and the definitive impact of "S.O.S." that will start your unbroken chain of successes "Honey honey" is from the group in which The boys on the one hand and The girls on the other sing verses in solo responding, as in the debut: "People need love" and the following: "He is your brother" and: "Love isn't easy" "Honey honey" also is the last song recorded by ABBA in swedish too There is a TV perfomance in Germany 1974 that you must see, with the smash hit "Waterloo" in first time The costumes they use are Superheroes with superpowers, they did it in 1974 from the promotional video for "Ring ring" (Note: in these perfomanece the TV host introduces the girls as 'Anna Frida' and 'Anna' ABBA had just won Eurovision and weren't massively famous yet, and since Agnetha was difficult to pronounce she uses 'Anna' , just like in Eurovision, to facilitate ABBA's popular and commercial insertion. in fact, in 1975 ABBA was not yet massive and you can see Agnetha and Frida wearing their names on the back of their iconic cat dresses) I'm so glad that you enjoy these It's a great song, my second favourite from the album " Waterloo" See you soon un the aftershow best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

[@helenpeterson]

Marissa "dont pause" thanks for that. Beautiful song and up in my top favourites.

[@johnadam5179]

@marvinquezada7203 Yes I really wonder why Honey Honey was not used as the follow up in many countries. Ring Ring was the 3rd single here. In the USA was not released previously (1973) as a single. But it went nowhere.......

[@crispy5000]

Marissa is looking great

[@scented-leafpelargonium3366]

Honey Honey got criticised in some circles at the time, saying it was "bubblegum pop," but it has stood the test of time and long outlived the bitter comments of the short-sighted critics! 🤗 It's still a breath of fresh air every time you hear it. 🥳 Sadly, it was not a huge hit in the UK.

[@herrbonk3635]

It *_was_* "bubblegum pop"! :) But nicely composed. (Just like, say, Pat Metheny Group *_is_* indeed elevator music, but good, and much better than elevator muzak.)

Hi guys. I think you missed the incrdible creative backing vocals of the girls at @1:41 (when Björn sings 'I don't wanna hurt you baby'). It's the only time in the song that they sing it and it is so different to the rest of the melody and his its own rhythm too. It's really magical, but can easily be overlooked.

They do it again at @2.36 so twice. When you see the videos its always shown.

Touche' Marissa on two counts. First, on stopping Tyler from pausing it!! Second, for saying how much better this is than the Mamma Mia movie version!! All the movie made me want to do was to go and listen to the real thing. Also, both of you were spot on when saying that two songs that completely catch that ABBA sound are "Honey Honey" and "I Let The Music Speak." Both totally different in sound and one from their early years and one from their later years. Great reaction!!!😊

[@jimhoppe8317]

@Marvin MQZ I think we actually agree. My point was that both those songs songs sound so different, yet they capture the ABBA sound at different times in their career.

[@pcch7831]

One of their most underrated songs imo. Love it, it's the most bubbly pop song I can think of

[@greenknight63]

[@RainbowEntertain]

You know what? I did ABBA Songs a million times on Karaoke, as I REALLY love them a lot. And I was curious what you’d say about those lyrics. I am talking about this one here: “I'd heard about you before I wanted to know some more And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine Oh, you make me dizzy” I was so surprised when I did this song for the FIRST time. I always thought of how cheering and fun-spreading this tune is. And then they continue like: “You look like a movie star (look like a movie star) But I know just who you are (I know just who you are) And honey, to say the least, you're a doggone beast”. This song that sounds soooooooo innocent reveals kinda kinky when you take a closer look at it… hahaha, and I like! What’s YOUR opinion about it?

[@adrianmclean9195]

Yep - one of ABBA's classics - classic early ABBA

Awesome reaction, so glad you got it and didn't pause! My favourite ABBA song (Bang A Boomerang is close!). I love that you loved the bits near the end where the vocals drop out and you just get the strings, then the vocal comes back in for one line. Genius. (Top ten ABBA: Honey Honey, Bang A Boomerang, Summer Night City, Angeleyes, Mamma Mia, I've Been Waiting For You, Super Trooper, Does Your Mother Know, If It Wasn't For The Nights, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A Man After Midnight)

Very talented and smart group all the times .

[@dreasbn]

yep a huge hit in Germany, sold as much records as Waterloo and cemented their superstardom in Germany immediately in 1974. And it showed that they could deliver completely different styles.. Waterloo and Honey Honey couldn't be further apart... I love Honey Honey for it's hymnic orchestration with the strings. But i think the soft choirlike vocals are not their most distinctive. Dancing Queen or Mamma Mia displays their perfect vocals much better. But it's a very very good track. There was a cover from another band released in the UK and became a Top10 hit whereas the british follow-up to Waterloo failed to become hit.. it was a re-release of Ring Ring...

[@noelleggett5368]

I told you! I knew you both would love this one! Yes, it’s early ‘sugar-pop’ ABBA - and part of why the band got such a bad rap for overt commercialism in the mid-70s…. But every time it came on the radio when I was a kid, it caused everyone to smile. You just can’t help it. It’s infectious pop at its best! It was one of my favourites when I was 7 years old. The harmonies are soooo sweet! You should check out the ‘live’ (OK - probably mimed) band performing this on German TV. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaO8knWMqZmjiNE Check out their first recorded single - the ‘feel good’ classic: ‘People Need Love’!

“Honey to say the least, you’re a dog gone beast”, lyrics don’t get much better than that 😂 Seriously, ‘Honey Honey’ was from the very beginning of their career, and ‘Angel Eyes’ was from the end of their career, and while both are equally catchy songs, with ‘Angel Eyes’ you could see how much they had progressed both in their lyrics, and their production. So glad to see Marissa back. She should be in every video!

I don't think their production on Angel Eyes is so much _better_ really, rather another style, much less 1960s sounding than this. I sure like their heavier and/or more mature styles on later albums though. (Expecially the "The Visitors" LP, which sound almost kind of jazz-fusion-esk to me.)

There is no "Top 10" for ABBA, maybe a top 30 but not just 10. You're right, the movie version is very poor compared to this. Your previous favourite was "Head over heals". You can also tell some of the influence of earlier artists/decades music with the "wop, wop, wop, wah-oo" in the background, which Benny & Bjorn would have grown up with.
