The acapella at the beginning of the song is sick, ABBA is the best group ever

"Who writes their songs?" Benny and Bjorn, the two B's of ABBA - the two guys. They've written several musicals, Chess and Kristina.

Some more ABBA songs: "Waterloo:, "Knowing Me, Knowing You", and "S.O.S." A good rabbit hole to dive into. :)

“Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” Is a great abba song to react to.

ABBA were one of those special groups like the Beatles whom despite helping define an era sound almost timeless

"Knowing Me, Knowing You". Catchy as hell but surprisingly deep as well.

God. I’m officially old when I know every word to every ABBA song. 💖

I had to sing this song in Choir back the late 70's, and the way that this song is arranged musically, is very difficult...I was surprised at how hard it really was to perform this song. Definitely give ABBA there props!

Couldn’t take my eyes off Freda. Freda.... you rock.

You have fallen...down a rabbit hole!! I love ABBA!!!

Totally agree, Fernando is awesome but also Chiquita

They alway make me smile. Favorite dance track is Lay All Your Love on Me. Gimme Gimme Gimme has a hook that’s been sampled multiple times.

"ll their songs have been so, like, fun" ABBA is really good at writing happy bouncy songs about sad things.

There is the fact that they have incredible voices and and and and it doesn't hurt any that they are drop dead gorgeous.

Hit machine. They had that certain something. Catchy, hooky songs, beautiful voices and of course the ladies are beautiful as well, which is always a plus. Honestly you will never find a non catchy ABBA song. It's a gift they had.

You should listen to ABBA's "Fernando," "SOS" and "Chiquitita" next.

I really miss the days when I was able to dance to ABBA all night! I’m grateful for those times! This is such a fun band. I can’t sit still when I listen to ABBA! 💃🏻🕺🏾

You'll love them performing...."Fernando"!

I love "knowing me knowing you" . That's my go to karaoke song

This is another one of those groups that I’d like to have a dollar for every time that I heard this song on the radio 😳😳

I remember when this was first released ,it was ,and is still amazing ,I always listen for the immaculate backing vocals the girls did too ,just as brilliant as the main vocals ,and nobody ever does ,or did sound like ABBA.

ABBA’s “Lay All Your Love on Me” is my favourite!

What I like best about your reactions is watching you! You have so much fun and your face is so joyful that it makes watching your channel so much more fun.

ABBA songs are always catchy and the harmony is great. I love watching your reactions to these classic groups.

'Super Trouper', 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', 'The Eagle', 'Money, Money, Money', 'Chiquitita', 'Fernando', 'SOS', just to name a few. ABBA were a hit machine. To answer your question, I believe the men wrote most of the songs.

More greatness from ABBA. Pure class.

2 beautiful ABBA songs but more serious are "Knowing me, Knowing you" and "My love, My Life".

Such a great song always makes you feel good.

If you haven't done "The Name Of The Game" yet (tried to look in the Playlist, was unsuccessful), definitely check that one out.

J I just wanted to tell you I’ve started watching music reactions about 8 months ago and now you’re the only 1 I still watch. When I see your notifications I stop what I’m doing if I can and watch. You’re always so positive and give great reactions and I like the ones that surprise you. I knew The Bee Gees would and I knew Hocus Pocus by Focus would shock you and I was laughing my butt off cuz I knew what was coming. You’re doing a GREAT job and plz don’t quit doing reaction cuz we love you!!

From what I've seen on the making of stuff for ABBA. The guys are the first to start the writing in the group, but then when they are in the studio they get the girls start helping to make pushes and corrections that help finalize the songs. So legit every one has a say out of the main four.

I love ABBA, so many great songs. Take A Chance On Me, The Winner Takes it All, One Of Us, Lay All Your Love On Me, I Have A Dream, Angeleyes, The Name Of The Game, Slipping Through My Fingers, are all some of my favourites. Along with.... You know what, you need to get their album GOLD, which has a good number of their greatest hits. Oh, and watch MAMA MIA as well, all the great music in the film, were ABBA songs.

Listen to 'one of us' by abba.. different vibe again most of the songs were written by Benny and Bjorn the 2 guys in the band... genius

ABBA perfected pop and made it sublime. No one writes, arranges, and performs a pop song better than ABBA. Fun fact: Along with Volvo and IKEA, ABBA is one of Sweden's largest exports.

Fernando is gorgeous!

2 powerful voices in harmony...that's what does it, and that's why they sold 325 million records.

The two guys in the group, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, wrote almost all of the songs. ABBA was probably the most famous EuroPop group of all time, and they were extremely talented. I don't know if you were aware of this, but the group's name derives from the first letter of each group member's name: Anni-frid Lyngstad, Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Faltskog (first name pronounced like Anyetta). They were actually two married couples (Anni-frid/Benny and Bjorn/Agnetha), but as the marriages fell apart, so did the group. I think every guy I went to high school with, including me, had a mad crush on Agnetha.

“Does your Mother know “ is a great, funky one by them- I hardly ever see it mentioned as much as others- please react to it, J! It’s also one of their biggest hits! 💛✌️

386m records sold and still sell a million every year with their greatest hits album. One of the greatest bands of all time

They wrote their own songs and played their own music, that's the way it was done back in the day when musicians had real talent! Check out - Waterloo, Knowing Me Knowing you, SOS, Does your Mother know, Angel Eyes, Mamma Mia, Gimmie gimmie gimmie, Money money money

ABBA is my favorite band, and I'm so glad that a lot of reactors are getting to know them now as well. I just wish some of their videos were not so cheesy as it does distract from the brilliant harmonies and craftsmanship in these pop classics. Thankfully they got better at videos by the time of the Super Trouper album.

the '70 and the '80 where the best years ever... and music that was festive, reflects this.

abba is so pure talent and pure content. not in this generation where almost everything is explicit

You can almost feel a old steam train chugging along to the rhythm of this song.

My favorite Abba song is "Knowing Me Knowing You"

This is one of the most expensive videos ever made, renting the chairs almost bankrupted them. 😂

Thanks for this reaction Jayvee - Can't go wrong with any Abba track !! x

I love ABBA! Here are a few of their lesser known tracks that I really like: "I've Been Waiting For You", "Tiger", and "Soldiers."

ABBA is another great group from the 70's. Such a great group.

Wow what 70s style...and the winking and kisses at the camera...LOL... you gotta appreciate that! It's a song you wont shake easily....

Yes definitely S.O.S. but also Fernando, it's so beautiful!

Abba is world greatest. Not only u love it. Billion folks loves it

I started listening to ABBA in the 70s and still love them...

This group harmonize perfectly together. They didn’t speak English when they started & were singing in English. Pretty cool 😎

ABBA touches you everything time you hear them

Dancing Queen is the number one for me. Can dance to that anytime. Who doesn't love that. Passes down the generations 💃💃💃

My favourite ABBA song, My Love My Life. From the album, Arrival. Stunning performance.

You are right, they have some way to pull you in. Of course, back when this was on the radio and they were selling records like crazy no one would admit they liked ABBA. It wasn't cool to like ABBA, LOL. I am a sucker for Harmony, so I never hid any of my ABBA Cassettes or CD's. And...like every one of the 16-19 year old guys I knew who denied liking ABBA, I too had a wee bit of a crush on Agnetha. At 61, I still do, LOL. The guys were the songwriting team, when they got rolling and heard the way the ladies voices sounded together I think they must have known they had hit the mother lode. Remember, the harmonies were natural, no auto tune. Perfect harmony.

Love ABBA! My mom had records growing up and would play them when we cleaned! My 13 year old son bought me a record player and one of the ABBA albums my mom had for Christmas. ❤ I love The Name of the Game, Waterloo, Fernando, Ring Ring, Gimme Gimme Gimme a Man After Midnight and many more. You can't go wrong!

Greetings from Australia 👋😃🐨🦘🦜✨ I really enjoyed your reaction 😊👍 The two guys in the group (Benny Andersson [with the beard] and Björn Ulvaeus) wrote all of ABBA songs, with a bit of occasional help (mainly for things like titles) from their late manager Stig Anderson (no relation to Benny; Benny's last name has two 's's). Frida (the woman with dark red hair) and Agnetha also contributed much to the evolution of ABBA's songs. Benny & Björn also produced the recordings too, along with their studio engineer: Micke B. Tretow. • While ABBA toured (1973 - Sweden, 1975 - Scandinavia, 1977 - Europe & Australia, 1979 - USA & Europe, 1980 - Japan), they were mainly a studio group, so they spent most of their time crafting songs, and trying different treatments for a song with different genre's (and released film-clips in lieu of massive touring schedules; all but two being directed by movie director Lasse Hallström). If they toured a lot during the ABBA years, they would never have also had the time to hone their songs and albums (8 studio albums: 'Ring Ring' - 1973; 'Waterloo' - 1974; 'ABBA' - 1975; 'Arrival' - 1976; 'ABBA the Album' - 1977; 'Voulez-Vous' - 1979; 'Super Trouper' - 1980; 'The Visitors' - 1981) to maintain the evergreen quality that has lasted through to today in the ABBA 'revival' that has ebbed and flowed since 1992). • The only thing that Benny & Björn didn't write, that ABBA recorded, was a medley of three U.S. folk songs for a West German charity in 1975, that was released as the b-side to their 1978 single: 'Summer Night City' • ABBA's music and themes evolved through the years (1972-1982), with many different genres (not just pop and ballad-style, but also early emo/goth, musical, vaudeville, schlager, disco, techno, musical-theatre). • I was wondering if you could please do a reaction to their song, 'The Visitors', from the album with the same name. They didn't release a video for it, but there is a KZfaq music link for it... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcBmqbiVu7bNdIU.html Thank you, and take care 👋😃

If you want to see a different ABBA song, try "Does you mother know?"

I think you just discovered The Magic Of ABBA! Thanks much for posting!

Abba is one of my absolute FAVORITE groups!!!

Benny & Bjorn (the two boys) wrote ALL of their songs, they never recorded anyone else’s songs. Because of this they are all phenomenaly rich.

Some more Abba - "Honey honey, Rock me, When i kissed the teacher, Chiquitita".

I sold all my vinyl about 10yrs ago. KEPT all my 1970/80 ABBA singles and albums. I just couldnt sell them even though i have not listened to them for decades

Abba..some of the best crafted pop songs ever.

i got that addiction too. every time i eventually hear a abba song, i turn on my abbasongs on and hear them a period of time (days) before i can get off that trip

Excellent J. I loved them back when I was about 10, still do. Please Put Fernando on your extremely long , long, long list🙏🏾 you blushed when the girls winked at you! 😂

Bjorn and Benny, the two bearded dudes, wrote ABBA's songs, for the most part. Bjorn came up with the basis for this one while running, when he naturally found a vocal rhythm that became the "Take-a-chance take-a-chance, take-a-chk-a chance-chance" part. Such a lovely bunch of people.

Great choice and a great reaction. Loved the way you describe the 'Abba effect' and how one song makes you want to listen to another.

Abba were just one great hook after another!

All their songs are great. I got hooked in the 80’s as a kid, thanks to my parents. A group that we can still listen to together. ❤️

Money money money by ABBA. You'll love that one

I always loved this song, very catchy, and when the girls wink at me I get weak in the knees I can't remember which one is which, but the redhead was what they call a war child from WWII. Her mother was Norwegian, and her father was a German Sargent. Her whole family was shamed for this including her. She had a very sad childhood, which I think is terrible, she didn't do anything wrong, not like you can control who your parents are. ABBA just recently got back together. I for one am giving them my complete support. Love you ABBA

Benny and Bjorn the 2 guys in the group wrote all the songs, You should react to "Angeleyes" and "When I Kissed the Teacher".

This is my favorite ABBA song. My granddaughter and I are singing with them now. I love Benny,the piano player. I also loved Frida and her beautiful auburn hair. I like them all, but they are my favorites. I also have auburn hair.

My favorite Abba song is 'Does Your Mother Know' you should check it out.

Happy memory for me: 1976 on vacation in Interlaken Switzerland - at a cafe with my parents and the waitress playing ABBA’s Fernando on the jukebox literally hundreds of times.

When women were naturally gorgeous.

Fernando is my favorite ABBA song hands down.

Simplemente el mejor grupo en la historia.

LOL - At the end of the video when Benny jumps out of his chair and runs after Frida.

chicatita....SOS... there is a great piano solo on chicatita..

Thank you for making me smile Javaughn! I loved watching you react to this ❤️

The guys are writting the music! Best harmony ever!

Who doesn't like ABBA! Look at these girls. They are gorgeous and they sing like tweety birds. And the boys certainly knew ho to write bloody great songs!

My fave video of theirs. Love the little touches like the winks, dancing.

Beautiful-but-strong-but-handsome-but-intelligent JayveeTV ... ABBA usually wrote their songs in co-harmony, but usually it was the men at least in the 'director-ship' of it all steering the song and the singers and musicians. With this song in particular, dear Bjorn went on his daily run and then had the song come unto him as he put one foot in front of the other. Like quite a few of those 1970s artists, they still bring so much magic unto both kids and adults who were not necessarily of that era. That is there eternal power that appeals across families.

I see ABBA I click on any reaction. So many brilliant songs to pick from.

Cultural pressure at the time told me to lust after the blonde (and she is damned fine), but raw instinct always made me want to nail the auburn one

they were great!👍😀

I was spoiled growing up with Michael Jackson & ABBA. 🕺🕺

At one point it was rumored that they were offered a BILLION dollars to reunite for a concert tour and they turned it down!

Trying To catch up your reactions. Enjoying so much the way you react. Honest and full of emotions. Keep up☺️and yes again Abba nailed it

The men of the group wrote many or even all of the music ABBA sang. I always enjoy listening to them, they are so bright and even the songs with a sad story are upbeat and catchy. That is what I call feel good music lol and I'm not surprised that you enjoyed it Jayvee as it shows the enormous talent that had. Take care and stay safe please everyone. God bless you all, love hugs and peace everyone Mary-Ellen UK

Your reaction to this song is genuin and really fun to watch' from what i can tell is your having a blast with these songs😆. Keep at it bro. Glad to see you having fun and enjoying these bangers🔥

Does Your Mother Know - ABBA

Mastermind songwriters....Abba songs that stay in your brain once heard forever...see Abba lol

Try with: Ring Ring, Chiquitita, Gimmie gimmie gimmie, Mamma Mia.
