Madonna was so taken with this song and its hook she begged them to let her use it on her song Hung Up many years later. They didn't really do this but made an exception but it cost her a reputed $50,000.
Great reaction, sir🍀 but the official, original video you used is a heavily edited, truncated version of the song - this was for tv viewings back then (1979) cos it's actually a long track & contains a brilliant pounding bass & drum-led instrumental section in the middle which, in this video, is completely chopped out *mind you, there is now a new "lyric video" which features the complete song (wish you'd used that!) & of course the audio version Great reaction, sir🍀
The video uses the shorter 7" single / radio edit of the song. When you get a chance, check out the full album version with a great instrumental break!!!
You should try Does your mother know and hole in your soul live versions at wembley arena. It's ABBA live at their best. Your reactions are quite well, I like them a lot. Keep the good vibe
ABBA was really a very talented and versatile swedish group that recording between 1972/1982 (and now comeback in 2021) and leads in 70s decade: two excellent musicians songwriters (guitarist Björn & pianist Benny) two top female singers (blonde Agnetha & brunette Frida) (before ABBA they each had her solo career in Sweden) remember that ABBA is an acronim with initials of your first names, and was two couples from 1969: Agnetha & Björn; Benny & A.Frida Agnetha & Björn split at end 1978 Benny & Frida split at begin of 1981 "Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" 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 They recorded this song and filmed the video This is the only 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) The official vídeo is a short versión, the recording of the single is more than 4 1/2 minutes (with a solo instrumental) The introduction and the instrumental ending, that characteristic sound of Benny's keyboards, is what Madonna used for her well-known hit "Hung Up" (with the permission of the composers Björn and Benny, granting them share the credits) Surely for the latter, with almost 500 million views, this is the second official ABBA video with the most views on RU-vid (behind "Dancing Queen", which has almost 900 million views) AND un Spotify tío Is the second ABBA song For a new reaction I suggest: Fernando (1976) with the brunette Frida as lead singer Thank you again for these video See you in the next ; GOD bless you My best regards from Buenos Aires , Argentina
