I directed this video in 1983. I remember that we worked in a public bath in Stockholm (Centralbadet) for two nights when nobody was around. After the last shot Agnetha fell into the water and we could not shoot any more (her hair got all wet)!. Dancers are Blossom Tainton and a friend. Agnetha was easy to work with but I remember that when we had lunch she didn´t want shrimp that had been in a glass jar. She only ate fresch shrimp! Erik Irion Nanne, Sweden

An absolut SUMMERHIT during the SUMMERHEAT!!! ☀️ What á Great VOICE!!

Changes in latitudes - Changes in attitudes! Another marvelously-crafted song and superb performance by the lovely Agnetha, mon!

Such a great 'feel good' track from Agnetha!! Wish it was 1983 again!!

Thank you for sharing! I bet the Centralbadet has rarely resounded to a tropical chorus like the one at 3:00 to the end... This is the ideal tune for when we turn on the central heating in October. I found myself humming it and didn't know why. Then I realised why: "The Heat Is On"... (true) (lol tolhurst)

es única agnetha todo hace bien. un beso grande como vos

I´ve been an ABBAgnetha fan for years!! and someone kill me but I didn´t know this song had a videoclip :O!!! Wooow.... Agnetha..just the queen of the universe ^_^ and no wonder the queen of hearts!!

AGNETHA FÄLTSKOG "THE HEAT IS ON" *WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME (c)1983

Thank you, for share this video with us. Agnheta is a fantastic woman her voice is wonderfull.

Irion...You're one lucky bloke of knowing a beautiful woman like Agnetha. Been a fan of ABBA since the early 70's. I'm 10 years younger then Agnetha. If you see her...tell her hi from a fan in Ca.

Felicitaciones excelente interpretación,

From the hot summer of 83 we had less rain then, a great feelgood song.

agnetha has the voice of an angel

Awesome song! Great video!

Фрида и Агнета друг без друга - печальное зрелище.

Wow this song came out the year I was born!! :-)

Agnetha. Makes me so happy I bat for the right team!

LOL! All the times I've listened to this song, I never noticed the way she says "HOT!" at 1:34 until I watched this video.

Great song, great clip.

Bodybuilder in a tiny speedo at 1:19!

great song whenever she is tired she can have a sit on my face. Love this lady.

@RuneTurtleBakke Listen to "On the Run" and "The Heat is On" back-to-back. They have the same melody, but the Manfred Mann song is in a minor key. They are both credited to Florrie Palmer. And they both have a refrain that says "The Heat is On." Seems like Palmer wrote the song that was a hit for Noosha Fox (1979), Mann rewrote the lyrics and called it "On the Run" (1980), and then Agnetha covered the original single in 1983. It happens!

Yes he did!

It is also basically a cover of Manfred Mann's Earth Band's "On The Run." Yes, great song.

@RuneTurtleBakke There is no need to be insulting. The similarity is in lyrics and syllables, though Agnetha's is more uptempo. I wrote that comment two years ago but as I recall, I read it somewhere else first from a source I considered significant, I checked it out and I thought so too. it was not meant as any insult...I am a big Abba and Agnetha fan.

mine too

In the choir, you can hear 3 members of the early Smokie

The writing credits I can find says Florrie Palmer, which is interesting, because Florrie Palmer is listed as songwriter on [the Earth Band's] "On the Run" as well, with Manfred Mann and Tony Ashton. Since the Fox/Fältskog song has no other similarities to the Mann song than the central hook, it seems likely that Palmer repurposed "The Heat is On" into "On The Run" with Mann and Ashton in 1980 when Noona Fox' 1979 original failed to hit - only for Fältskog to hit big with "THIO" in '82/'83.

marca una era

The Miami Heat's 2010-11 anthem

@tsopuaifa I like Anna-Lie Rydé.

This is apparently a cover version of the Noosha Fox original. Does anyone know who wrote it.

Alle credits jeg kan finne sier Florrie Palmer, eventuelt Florrie Palmer/Tony Ashton. Hvor har du Russ Ballard fra?

Amazing song, I forgot about this version, I thought it was another version of Glenn Frey's song XD

wow! was she nice?

That LP was the first one I ever bought. I got into the record store in L-a and didn´t know what to buy and then saw this one and thought that "ABBA is good". I listened to it quite alot but never really got to like it. Later i found out that some of the songs were written by awful mr. Ledin and that may explain why I had a hard time onjoying that album. He really is awful!

I wish she would share her bank account with me!! :-)
