ABBA - Does Your Mother Know 

Does that even happen these days? 🤔

@@MrManfly remember A.T.M.D.D All Teenagers Make Dumb Decisions So possibly

What a stupid comment

@@caballerosalas Yours? Yeah, I agree.

1979

I did NOT refuse, I f#cked ..................

Lol

The guy was married to a very hot woman though.

@@erikt1713 That`s a bad cop-out ............

@@erikt1713 Which he was about to divorce at the time he was writing this song...

This is how I was introduced to this song lol. I need to check out more of abba’s stuff. It seems really good!

They grabbed the wrong disk.

@@WhiffTheRubbishEngine1869it is

And when we mouths it while watching it. Classic!

@@shaneomacdaddy Either way, it is as dangerous since they could spy on other people's homes. But funny nonetheless...

I love it too!!! Their voices are so high.

Second that Margaret.

And that "daaaance" harmony section at the end chrous'! Vocal arrangement magic! ABBA could put a great song together in all ways.

Benny and Bjorn weren't just brilliant songwriters, they were brilliant record producers.

Ikr

Yes absolutely

I agree, this band its truly amazing

Thats so true :)

Please

I agree! Any time can be ABBA time!

I just discovered them and I am not young. 😮 great stuff

Me too

They didn't make any bad songas. Love them all!

2024! Further everywhere!

good music is timeless,green river by CCR is another one

IT'S TIMELESS

it's called "remastering"

@rob yohn Wish I was in your school then :)

your right David :)

My favourite Abba song.

It’s the best pop - rocknroll crossover song imho 🎉❤

Agree

By far their finest in my opinion. Perfection.

I've heard the song before and didn't realise it was ABBA, because it's so good.

The song also makes more sense from a man. (I suppose a boy groupie/adult female star would be just as bad, but society wouldn't think that.)

Well, given the theme dealt with in the song, it made sense to have either one of Bjorn or Benny sing lead, while for once, Agnetha and Anni-Frid sang backup.

@@G6JPG that's how they did it in mamma mia and it came off as gross cause she was playing along while saying this... Really didn't suit the lyrics

M

true, it kinda also makes more sense somehow for this song

Wow you have a nice name. You're name matches one of the best composers in metal. His name is Tobias Sammet. Listen to Avantasia.

Thanks! I know Avantasia, saw them 2 Years ago! It was Unbelievable ❤️

@@tobiaslosche7122 wooow! Can Tobi still sing or did the other singers carry the concert?

Of course! His Voice is still on Top Level.

Yeah me too

I honestly believe Jim Henson modeled his Ralph the Dog's piano playing on Benny's playing. Can't confirm it but I think it is indeed a possibility.

Benny is the guy at the piano? If yes, i agree!

Because he was probably drunk during these shootings

Don't forget Jerry Lee Lewis and Elton John. Anyway Benny is cool!

@@buildd-signsrl7375 Benny it is definitely.

lol, very good! Stay safe and all the best from the far north of New Zealand.

Hang in there!

No kidding! Stay safe!!!!

u still have quarantine?

You caught Cornovirus ??

Benny and Bjorn, is real MAESTRO

Indecisive Ink let me think from a personal point of view... the name of the game. dont appeal me at all

Yes!!!!!

i was just replying to is every abba song just perfection

Indecisive Ink yes

Most are, yup yup! :)

Did Benny ever sing?

Super Trouper Just one song. A lesser known one called Suzy Hang Around.

* Jazz music stops *

They both have vocals at the beginning of "Take A Chance On Me"

You should listen to their song "Rock Me". Great vocals by Bjorn! :-)

Best comment

Johnny English 😂

Lol!

Because Johnny English didn't interfere

Lol

very catch and has a groove

@@kyleday5026 *t h e y b e g r o o v i n*

ABBA rocked it,man

Agreed

i stand still but my fingers keep twitching

Yeah, rare

Another great Bjorn-vocals song is “Rock Me”.

Original ABBA fan:-)

Also "people need love" is a Bjorn mostly vocal

It wasn't rare in the central US in the 70's. I heard it on the radio a lot when it was on the charts. There was a lot of other ABBA songs that didn't get radio in the region that should have, but that's what happens when Big Music and Big Radio controls what you hear.

43 years ago for me in Los Angeles.

I certainly didn't. This is the only song that I'm aware of where any of the boys have a lead vocal.

They have a song called Rock Me too. The boys sing that too. And Bjorn has a singing role in Honey, Honey too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gfvCZ-UWpvo.html

Men in ABBA did not sing much, especially in later period. ABBA with men leading vocal sounds completely different, good , but not that good as it was with women voices on top . BTW, the very first ABBA song I heard was Watch Out and how different is that from what they did in Fernando or Winner Takes All . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NDFytIpijRU.html It shows how good musicians and businessmen they really were. They choose to step back little bit and let the women do singing because it sounded better and it brought more money and fame in . It must have been very hard decision because after all they were rock stars, they created the music of ABBA and they wanted to be in front, to get full recognition for it. But they chose to give up roles of frontmen in order to get maximum success.

Bjorn wasn’t the big singing talent in the group, but better watch it he’ll steal your girl.

@@sarakirk9542 Watch Out was another song where Bjorn has the lead vocal.

back when they started coming from Sweden, they DIDNT speak nor sang English words,,, they were taught the words and just sang it.... not knwing what they were even singing,,,amazing they got as far as they did be4 they did pick up on the English language,,,

The girls were better singers than the men and the men were better writers and producers.

It took a lot of courage to make the decision to put the girls in front singing the lead. Benny and Bjorn could sing just as good but the band never really got that much notoriety. Just shows how much talent and intelligence the guys really had to know that the change would really work for the group.

@@beckymartin12 Benny and Bjorn wrote the songs, they knew what the lyrics meant, but true that the ladies didn't know much English.

Rock me and Honey Honey are great songs the boys contribute singing to aswell

@@jonathanfurzeland4740 don’t let the sound your own wheels drive you crazy you may lose and you may win but you may never look back again just listen to the sound of your own wheel and take it easy man I love the eagles

Cute! I'm glad this had a happy ending. You ever find your Mr Right?

@@rocco... Thank you :)

@@rocco... Yes I did! It's all about patience and keep on looking for your soulmate! :)

@@naokisan07 You seem like a great person. I'm not surprised!🥰

@@rocco... Awwe thank you so so much! You have a fan now! :)

I wasn't sure why you said that, then I remembered the Johnny English clip. 😂 If I was the King, I would have played that clip at the coronation. As a bonus (if you're into that kind of thing) we saw Rowan Atkinson in his underwear.😮💘😆

@@Dark_Autumn Play it Bough, play the disc! Bough: Play it! Now! *this song starts playing on the coronation*

They are great. To hear them really rock out you must hear "hole in my sole" they can even do reggae! listen to "tropical Loveland" Frida has rich sultry vocals on that.

No shortage of energy that's for sure!@@Vikinggirl1679

@@slinkster222 for sure and I think Frida especially is fantastic live. She just has that stage presence that can't be taught. Some people just have it naturally and she definitely does!

I agree 100%. Her live vocals on Super Trouper actually makes my eyes well up. I can't imagine anything coming close to that!@@Vikinggirl1679

Your daddys telling to you listen ABBA is so WISE, like a good parent do his best.God bless u all.

Agree with you! ABBA is timeless!

Laura...If you're at all into girls, Hon, I'd love dancing with you...or to simply talk music, ABBA, dancing, and/or anything, reply here and perhaps we can get to know each other and become friends, distant friends and kinda like pen pals. By the way, your thumbnail pic shows me you're my kind of girl, very pretty. Cheers!!!

Haha I'm 20 as well, I "discovered" ABBA about a year ago and when I'm hanging out with my sisters we jam to it.

So basically baby groupies

eek

If the girl’s mature enough to want it, she’s mature enough to get it. You’re crazy

@@hannahs1683 And you'll end up in jail

he slays

They're kinda nice looking, too, don't you think?

@@janettgrady2394 kinda nice looking. The brunette looks like a sexy bond girl and blondie is yummy too.

The only other group I can think of whose vocals blend so perfectly on harmonies is Queen.

@@pipoo1 And Girls Generation members, Taeyeon and Jessica too.

@@janettgrady2394 I've always thought that, strangely enough...

Nice reference! 😉

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Hahahahahahaa yess matee

I only known about them since April this year but I enjoy their music.

Justin Shea Keep digging. It's like "discovering" the Beatles for yourself. Song after song after song is just amazing to listen to.

+1Blastarr Do you like heavy metal or rock?

+1Blastarr There will never be another group like ABBA

+1Blastarr Yes, i have been living in rock, ACDC BABY!

Abba = Get right back where you started from Maxine Nightingale

Na'am.

I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum. I like a lot of their songs but hate their arrangements, production and performances. I can usually find a cover version I like better.

@@tigerboy60 Not much similarity.

Wishing her the best possible health--and joy to your family.

@@KingoftheJuice18 Thank you very much!! May God bless you!!

Michael...You're a good man, Hon, my kinda man. If I didn't already have a good man, I'd want to know if you were available. Your Mom is one lucky woman. Yes, this video, this song, is one of my favorites.

There's this enchanting thing about music... Play the songs your mom enjoyed for her.💖 💓💖

Good for you, enjoy your Mother while you still have her, as there is no other, for any of us. Regards.

Diana Ross and the Supremes were the queens of Pop in the 60s and 70s as well

im from the nineties and i havent heard a sweeter voice in my life

​@@elitemangudai1016 Thereza Bazar of 'Dollar' was sweeter. Actually, to the point of sickly-sweet.

It’s an excellent song to brush your teeth to. Really makes you want to dance goofily

You’re an ass Glenn Jones. Have some respect.

Really enjoyed your comment. Hope you and your daughter continue to enjoy it. Jackass in the comments. Grow up, you sorry ass. People want to enjoy life to the fullest, have a great time listening to good music. Ain't nobody need a spoil sport and fuckwit like you to kill the vibe. Hope you better yourself.

Bless you both!

We don’t need to know if she’s autistic

@@toebeee5168 dont be rude...she is just telling her story

It had a CD stuck in it? You sure it wasn't a cassette?

2:25

Lol, that’s what Johnny English did in the movie

Johnny English brought me here

It was great to see Bjorn singing for a change and being part of that part of the group also. I know he was in a group before he was in Abba and he's got a really good singing voice I think. I was happily surprised

A case of jail-bait imprisonment -- which he well knew about -- but only in the white world. The POC don't care about this at all, all around the globe, if you just look at the pregnancies.

In my head, everything that can even vaguely be connected to covid is. Therefore, seer.

@@davidb2206 You've got to be kidding. You use an ABBA comment section to voice your vile hate?

@@davidb2206 can you elaborate? All though I can tell you’re practically just stupid, I would like to hear a deeper elucidation to your statement.

@@davidb2206 low poverty/lack of education due to exploitation(redlining in the US), and prejudice is to blame for high rates of pregnancies in communities of POC

Недаром Сюзи Кватро ее перепела.

HAHA, or late 90's Rappers.

There wouldn't be that many bastards running around.

Now everybody is a pedo, how sad.

no sweat in the 60s

Or guys on tick tock now a days

Their harmonies were beyond musically tight.

It has sound effects , akin to the cartoon the Chipmunks they sound like Alvin and the chipmunks 😂😂

@@AutotuneSucksBalls Haha, yes it does a bit ...but the synchronicity is incredible(s!)

So damn good. This is such an upbeat song.

@@AutotuneSucksBalls haha that's exactly what I thought too !!

thank you for the music the songs your singging thanks for all the joy their bringing

Very true. Me and many of my fellow metalhead friends have discussed how B&B would have been able to write great heavy metal tunes if they wanted to. Their roots were in rock pre ABBA and so many of ABBA's tunes you can clearly hear how it could make a great song in some metal subgenre. Many of the 70s and 80s metal songwriters loved ABBA. Lemmy and Ritchie Blackmore were/are massive ABBA fanboys.

Im a '00s kid and I'm dancing to these songs like it's 1979!

90s kid here too. First exposure of ABBA was from my father's cassette tape.

I’m a 2010s kid and i also love this!

Exactly!

Dan King Yep, saw it last night and that's why i'm here now XD

Dan King who the fuck is Johnny English?????? ABBA FOR EVER!!!!!!!!!

Much as I do love Abba, I am going to assume that you haven't seen the movie Johnny English, and then I am going to ask hat rock you've been hiding under for the past 12 years and suggest that you go out and watch it right away!

Dan King Do you or do you not have tattooed on your bottom the words Jesus is coming look busy! Such a funny line.

Which hit song didn't get played to death that was made by ABBA? Keep in mind, outside the USA, they were 50 times more popular

D Tittle1964 You sir made my day with this story. Thanks!

How does your bike have any relivenc to this song

D Tittle1964 ol

aww that’s sweet

Abba is timeless. Sweden,s greatest gift to the world. Greetings from Holland.

They surely had it all. www.abbathesecret.com/index.php/component/content/article/8-main/17-gem-10 Very fashionable. It was in 1979 !
