Fuckin’ eh rights! Slayer shall forever rule the universe with a crushing iron fist, but anyone who claims to NOT like ABBA is either lying or hasn’t heard them yet. Period. You put this jam on at 0200 at ANY party, wedding, or celebration anywhere, and every single person will immediately go bananas and start enthusiastically singing along while dancing with one another. That’s a timeless quality and universal appeal that few bands can say they enjoy. ABBA rocks the shit, and it’s as simple as that.

ABBA were masters of musical production and promotion. They were doing videos nearly a decade before MTV even existed to play them, and they recorded their songs in a variety of different languages. They were huge. You can't go wrong with any of their songs.

@marwenplukol9235 2 года назад

Let's not forget who actually invented the concept of videos of songs about 10 years prior to Abba. In the early Sixties, they were called promo films, and became a necessity for The Beatles, who were in the midst of Beatlemania. This helped satisfy the demand for a public appearance, so they started sending out promo films instead in order to satisfy their fans.

@herrbonk3635 2 года назад

@@marwenplukol9235 They were called promotion films by Abba's director Lasse Hallström too, because that's exactly what they were. Don't think Beatles exactly invented it though :) Jazz, swing, cabaré, latin, and bossa artists made promotion films in the 1940s and 50s, and even earlier than that, before WWII.

ABBA is awesome. It's not an affair song, you guys have just assumed it is. Like someone else mentioned, the lyrics are "IF YOU'RE ALL ALONE, and the pretty birds have flown, honey I'm still FREE, take a chance on me".

Also include "Eagles", "Angel Eyes", "Cassandra", "The Day Before You Came" When I Kissed the Teacher", "Head Over Heals", "I Am The City", I do, I do, I do".

I still remember this coming out when I was just a snot-nosed kid. A golden era for ABBA, and we lapped up every drop. Relistening 45 years later, it's amazing how many balls they dropped and got away with it. Because the SOUND seemed so new and captivating. And when you're ambitious enough and spinning enough plates, I guess some will get broken. The re-recordings for the movies address these shortcomings but fail to bottle the original magic.

One of if not THE greatest pop acts of all time. SO MANY great catchy dance-able singable hook-laden unforgettable songs. SO MANY amazing albums produced in such a short space of time. Bjorn & Benny are right up there with Lennon & McCartney and anyone else you care to name on the lost of all-time great songwriting duos. And the girls... SO beautiful, and SUCH great singers. Bothof them. Agnetha typically got all the attention & limelight, but Frida was the one who won my heart.

hello again, nice to see you well, and with more ABBA songs! "Take a chance on me" (1978) is one of their best ABBA hits in all the world, the most selling song of ABBA in U.S. (more than Dancing Queen), #3 in Billboard U.S. and their seventh #1 in UK Official Charts This is one song than the vocals are more extensive than the music (They begin 'a capela' and singing at the end) the blonde Agnetha is the lead vocal, her voice is so powerful, in perfect armonies and chorus with Anni Frid in co-leads vocal (and the boys in back voices singing repetitive the frase 'take a chance, chance') Agnetha & Anni Frid have fantastic voices and harmonies together Agnetha is soprano Anni Frid is mezzo soprano and together Made a 'three voice' the guitarist Björn got the idea while jogging, by the sound of the footsteps he interpreted t-k-t t-kt and adapted it to "take a chance", so the song was born Although it is a disco pop, it is like a constant and happy march, captivating, cloying and addictive In the video the absolute center is the girls, very suggestive A clarification: it was filmed a month after Agnetha's second motherhood, so She had not yet recovered Her pre-pregnancy figure (these is one of the songs that she recording pregnant) I wish you a greatest weekend My best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina South América

Loved ABBA as a kid. You took me back. Oh the 70's, simpler times in many ways. Thanks so much. What great singers Agnetha and Frida were!

They get a bad rap as pop, but they were incredible songwriters. Not like today's pop acts.

When we're talking about pop music, it certainly doesn't get much better than ABBA. Spectacular song writing indeed.

@Julie-ev5js 2 года назад

Great dance song from the late '70s. Recorded in '77, released in '78. It played at all the dances and yes, Lex, a total contemporary to the Bee Gees. They'd be in the top 10 of the charts often together. Just discovered you, just subbed. Great reactions. : )

perfect harmonies. Abba, one of the biggest selling bands of all time

@johnchristmas7522 Год назад

One of the all time greats, ABBA a group in a class of their own.

@jerrycote659 2 года назад

Good observation Lex! This came out in 1978 at the same time as Bee Gees were insanely popular. ABBA weee HUGE as well and this song was a huge hit as well. It encapsulates the perfect pop sound which Benny and Bjorn perfected with their flawless studio production techniques. More ABBA guys!

Two of the best pop songwriters paired with two of the best voices.

I was a teen when Abba came on the scene. They sold so many records because they appealed to all age groups and that is pretty rare.

I think not so many band in the seventies could create deep 'boom boom' bass effect like this one. They must have got the best sound engineering for that time.

@christianoazzuro6711 2 года назад

INDEED.Michael B Tretow their engineer was a sheer genius.Every little detail was up there for a shiny purpose.

@eduardooscar309 2 года назад

I agree with @Christiano their engineer Michel Tretow was esential to create the "wall of sound" that gives ABBA your unique sound that give more power to the beautiful ABBA voices

When I was a youngster back in the 70s/80s, I used to hear this at the local carnivals. It does have a carousel vibe to it.

Great cheese!!!! No critic took them seriously, nor kids - not the cool kids - decades later great bands and all critics agree: one of the best pop writers of songs of all time.!

I was a cool kid and I love ABBA. And critics? Critics are just idiots who need a formal title to get people to take them seriously. ABBA was and is fire.

ABBA rules! ABBA is more rock than disco, but they played some disco songs.

@eduardooscar309 2 года назад

ABBA is more europop only disco in 1978/79 "Take a chance on me" is europop , with a touch of eurodisco, as Dancing Queen

Lex nailed it. BeeGees and Abba totally competed for folks album $$$$ in the late 70's.

Never was a real fan of them, but as you grow up and hear a lot of songs from them, you somehow grow attached to them. Always nice to hear them though, there goes click in my head and all those many memories are back, thanks.

@dianefeinstein8951 2 года назад

Brad and Lex: ABBA member Benny Anderson, in an interview said the lyrics “…take-a-chance…take-a-chance,” came from the sound he heard as he drove over a highway bridge and as the car’s tires travelled over each bridge segment joint and made a quick bumpity “take-a-chance” sound…and as he drove across another joint, “take-a-chance”…”take-a-chance”…”take-a-chance.” Much love to your program from Canada. -Diane, Vancouver, Canada.

Isn't exactly Björn was in his jogging morning and feel that the sound tkt totaly with his steps gives the idea to the rhythm and eventually he wrote take a chance, chance, take a chance and the song was born

Thes most famous band outside the English-speaking world by a gazillion miles. In fact one of the most famous bands ever regardless of geography (over 100 million records sold).

@AxeSwipe2011 2 года назад

ABBA was definitely one of the top disco acts of the 70's and enjoyed a resurgence in fan base in the 2000's due to the Mama Mia! Broadway shows and movies. "Dancing Queen" has been used in so many movies and TV shows (usually during some comic dance segment).

A legendary group with an incredibly loyal fan base. And their 'Voyage' avatar concerts are currently sending audiences wild in London with fans coming in from all parts of the world to experience it. ABBA are one of those 'stars aligned' groups. They were each well known musicians in their native Sweden so they were akin to a 'supergroup' but they formed organically. The best things often happen by accident and as a result of unlikely combinations. Each of the four had a different musical path. Benny had a love of traditional Swedish folk and Classical Music but had been in a Rock band. Bjorn too was a Folk based but his previous band had been borne out of the 'Skiffle' craze and was influenced by the harmonies of the 'Kingston Trio'. Agnetha was a teen star in Sweden with a mixture of Schlager and heartbreak ballads. Connie Francis is often cited as one of her influences. She was also writing her own material from a young age. Anni-Frid (Frida) had the most prior stage experience, joining her first band in 1958. She came from a Jazz, Swing and Big Band background plus had operatic training. So it was a mixed bag of talents, style-wise. But the men turned into a formidable song-writing and producing team while the women were an intriguing blend of vocal compatibility and contrast, depending on the song. It's something that can't really be manufactured as a Pop Svengali would never even think of pitching such a foursome together, regardless of their individual talent. P.s. Although this song got to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, it actually sold more copies in the USA than 'Dancing Queen', a chart topper.

Most Americans just aren't aware how big ABBA was around the world back then. They were like royalty, especially in Sweden. Actually, they still are. They are always a good listen!
