Abba for ever!!!

Thx , Yes abba released it in 1979, madonna in 2004. A for Agnetha (blonde) B for Bjorn (guitar)ex marired agneth B for Benny (piano)ex married Anni A for Anni-Frid(brunette) Both men wrote the lyrics, music, producers and arrangements their wives at the time sang 95% of their songs. Abba with the inverted B is a registered trademark, they are the first to have done so in the world of the music industry. The first band to have their own digital studio, the first to have their own concert hall "ABBA Arena" for digital concerts "avatars", including.

ABBA - best popmusic in history! Number 1 in the world 1974-82. Most popular in Europe, Australia, Asia and Latinamerica. There is much to discover here, sang in 5 languages. Their hit Chiquitita was number 1 in Spanish in Mexico for 32 weeks for example. So versitale and timeless music with many great hits! Good luck digging! 🎉

Nice to see you for first time with a reaction to ABBA songs "Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" (1979) 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 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 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 in last months ABBA did these new official lyric video of "Gimme gimme gimme" full versión with an instrumental bridge 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 400 million views, the original video with the shorts versión is the second official ABBA video with the most views on KZfaq (behind "Dancing Queen", which has more than 740 million views) and 600 millon views on Spotify too 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 I hope to see you with more ABBA songs One sugestión could be "Mamma Mia" (1975/1976) another iconic song My best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

wikipedia says: In 2005, the song was sampled by Madonna, who used it on her worldwide hit single "Hung Up" from Confessions on a Dance Floor. Madonna is said to have sent a letter to Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus asking to use the song as a sample,[69] since the Swedish songwriting duo are reluctant to let other artists sample their material. It was only the second time that an ABBA track had been officially sampled, the first being the Fugees in 1996 with their hit "Rumble in the Jungle", sampling part of 1977's "The Name of the Game".

They have sold over 400 million albums and have a musical that has taken over 5 billion worldwide and they now have Abba Voyage in London.

Best Band Ever

ABBA = each of their first name. That means 4 person.

Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad (known as Frida) were (and are) recognized as two of the greatest female singers of all time. Benny Anderson (musical composer, arranger & keyboards) and Bjorn Ulvaeus (lyricist, arranger & guitar) were the other two members of ABBA. Frida was married to Benny and Agnetha was married to Bjorn. The men sang too and contributed greatly to back ground harmonies and Bjorn sang lead on a couple of their songs. These people come from Sweden and they’re decent, humble, down to earth and so, so talented! They’ve sold around 400 million albums worldwide and sales are still strong to this day. They are truly the GOAT.

You will find that their most famous songs have been reacted to many times. There is over 7 hours of ABBA music to react to - all good in my opinion. I think you will find a wider audience if you react to some of their lesser known songs - and also songs by Agnetha and Frida individually. If you like those on America's Got Talent who got the golden buzzer, a contender would have been Frida singing "En Ledig Dag" at the age of 22 on Sweden's only TV channel at the time. Although in Swedish and black and white it is an outstanding performance and shows how talented she was before ABBA. Thanks for your reaction and welcome to the world of ABBA😊

Abba were two couples married who divorced

I'm glad you're discovering that ABBA are not "one hit wonders". Next to the Beatles, ABBA are the most successful band in pop music history! There are four of them BTW.

Nobody does it better than ABBA but Madonna did a great job sampling it.

Perhaps the most surprising thing to know is that english is not their native language... or that all that rhythm and quality comes from a small and cold country like... Sweden. Try 'Take a chance on me' or 'Dancing Queen' (well ... the catalog of ABBA is HUGE and wonderful) Greetings ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱👍 (another little country 😀)

This song is from Voulez-Vous lp

ABBA, much sampled, much mimicked, but there is only one original. 2 married couples whose first name initials formed the bands name (sort of) Agnetha (blonde), Bjorn (guitar), Benny (piano) Anni-Frid (brunette) 3rd best selling band of all time with endless 70's hits and one or two early 80's tracks until their comeback in 2022, Voyage.

Legendary song

I think technically Abba sampled that keyboard phrase. I'm sure I saw a video where is showed it sampled from classical music

its called hung up [madonna]

Worth 1.1$ billion dollars

ABBA has 20 worldwide number 1 hits, definitely not a one hit wonder

ABBA has 130 songs. You have a lot of songs to react to. :)

Listen to the unedited version Dyce, the instrumental break is so funky

I liked this reaction. 🙂You really should continue react to some more ABBA. My suggestions: "Summer Night City" (live from Wembley, that´s important, NOT the official video), "The winner takes it all" (the official video), "If it wasn´t for the nights" "Does your mother know" and "Thank you for the music". 🎶🎵

Nice reaction dude, The bassline is so epic..🇸🇪

You are right Madonna sampled this for Hung up on you.

Yes, Madonna sampled this for Hung Up.

Welcome to rabbit hole, dancing queen, angle eyes, summer night city, money money money, as good as new, eangle, chiquitita, Voulez-Vous, the king has lost his crown,Waterloo, I had a dreams, sos,I do I do I do,ring ring,take a chance on me,happy new year, Fernando, one of us.......

Sound of Madonna for Americans but for Europeans it's ABBA,

Madonna ask if she could use a bit in a song of hers

The Madonna song was Hung Up and yes she sampled this!

The longer version is much better. Abba has made recently a new video for that longer album track.

You need to dive in that rabbit hole 😊 React to S.O.S and Super Truper and Summer Night City...... A is for Agnetha blond B is for Benny composer piano B is for Björn lyrics A is for Anni-Frid brunett

Madonna has to bay 4 it in dollars....

ABBA - A One hit wonder ABBA’S ‘GOLD’ IS THE FIRST ALBUM TO MAKE 1,000 WEEKS IN THE UK TOP 100 That was as wrong as anyone can be

They split the royalty for hung up 50 for Madonna 50 for ABBA

You cannot just sample someone else's music. Maddona had to ask permission of the two Bs which they do not usually give. But they are Madonna fans!

Madonna on her best day couldn't perform this song as well as ABBA. and now you've seen them sing a song other than the great but overplayed DANCING QUEEN that everyone has heard, you can now appreciate what great song writers and performers they really were . They were on top of the musical world for a generation and had an estimated one billion fans I don't know it this is true or not but I'm prepared to believe it , regardless they were as big as the BEATLES and STONES in some countries and bigger than them in others, like the Beatles they were prolific writers and also like the Beatles most of their recorded songs were charted with numerous tracks in the top ten in many countries. Enjoy your inevitable journey down the ABBA rabbit hole your in for an amazing ride .
