Lyrics:
I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
baby by myself
I sit and wait and wonder about you
it’s a dark and dreary night
seems like nothing’s going right
won’t you tell me honey
how can I go on here without you
yes, I’m down and feeling blue
and I don’t know what to do, oh-oh
Ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
ring, ring
the happiest sound of them all
ring, ring
I stare at the phone on the wall
and I sit all alone impatiently
won’t you please understand the need in me
so, ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
so, ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
You were here and now you’re gone
hey did I do something wrong
I just can’t believe that I could be
so badly mistaken
was it me or was it you
tell me, are we really through
won’t you hear me cry
and you will know that my heart is breaking
please forgive and then forget
or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
Ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
ring, ring
the happiest sound of them all
ring, ring
I stare at the phone on the wall
and I sit all alone impatiently
won’t you please understand the need in me
so, ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
so, ring, ring
why don’t you give me a call
(Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Stig Anderson, Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody)

So many cool details in this video: Anni-Frid's amazing snakeskin outfit with matching platform boots is insane, Bjorn is playing the legendary "star" guitar, and wearing a cape (!) and most likely there is Ola Brunkert on the drums and Rutger Gunnarsson on bass. Benny always looks like he's having too much fun, and does his costume include some monstrous feather? And Agnetha's mirrored outfit with little red flares over her boots is totally 1970s. This whole video is so over-the-top it's perfect!

ABBA, the greatest band in the history of bands. Every one of their songs stirred and stirs the emotions, and it doesn't matter if you speak the language or not, the listener knows the gist of the song...simply watch the girls and you know what the song is all about. ABBA , through the years, proved to be something special, aside from their ingenious musical brilliance. The reason I see ABBA as extra special is because, despite their traumatic love life, each of the four loved the other three...and I believe that love holds true to this day, 2021.

Her 70s and 80s is when she rocked but don't get me wrong,she's one of the most talented artist going. Agnetha blows her away with her amazing range. Not the writer as Stevie is.

Simon, in July 2018 Rolling Stone reported that worldwide, ABBA is the #7 selling act. They have not released an album since 1979 nor performed on a stage of any kind together (concert, TV show, etc) since 1982. Their sales have been increasing over the past 15 years. Mostly outside the USA, attributed to increases in sales in Europe AND ASIA AND AFRICA. So, ABBA is one of the world's top selling acts. In 2017 they sold the equivalent of 15 million albums................this year that number is expected to be higher. Their lowest point for sales after their breakup (after 1982) was in the 1990's but then sales began to pick up when ABBA: GOLD was released. Then came Mama Mia the play, the movies, etc................which caused the beginning of the sales increase upward trend that began almost 15 years ago. This is incredible, and when you compare to the Beatles, ABBA did all this in 10 years, it makes it even more incredible. ABBA just passed Michael Jackson in worldwide all time sales in 2017..............they also passed Elvis...............now they are only behind the Beatles in sales...............ABBA is the #2 best selling musical act of all time.....................for right now. I think they will conquer #1 in a few years. I think ABBA will TOP the Beatles. Ive been to Kathmandu, Nairobi, Kingston, Buenos Aires, Zagreb, Berlin, Moscow, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Riyadh. You know what they all have in common? Every one of those cities, they love ABBA. They love ABBA in countries that are not even christian nations.

These were not just pop songs; they were so much more sophisticated than that. I wonder whether people really appreciate how actually classically savvy these musical compositions were. The two boys were brilliant song writers, and the girls were great singers in addition to being both very attractive. geez man, everything was there. Unforgettable group, whose great music has stood the test of time.

@@chrisheath481 I do not sing, I do not play any musical instruments. I cannot read music or understand musical composition. I therefore had trouble understanding your response when you mentioned chords and bass. However, I do have a very perceptive ear to what sounds good, average, bad, or... .... brilliant . Abba's musical arrangements were definitely in another class when compared to general so called "pop music ". This Swedish group were very very good. I had no idea at all who Miles Davis was, or is, however because you mentioned him, I looked for his name on RU-vid hoping to find a video of him and his music. He sounds like a jazz player, please correct me if I'm wrong. I must admit I quite liked what I heard.

You also have to acknowledge that the band was supported by some incredible "behind the scenes" support. Michael B. Tretow was an incredible Sound Engineer and Producer. The bands studio musicians including Roger Palm and Ola Brunkert (Drums), Rutger Gunnerson ( Bass), Janne Schaffer and Lasse Wallender were simply brilliant and contributed greatly to the ABBA sound. And the band's manager Stig Andersson was also a great positive influence.

@@karmicselling4252 Oh wow. Thank you so much for your most informative reply, because you have just validated what I have wondered about for years. I know nothing about music, nor for the most part could I even name and identify most musical instrument. I just remember thinking how such sophisticated sounds can come from just 2 instruments, Bjorn on guitar, and Benny on piano or organ. You could hear so many different sounds, and so well arranged, I wondered if there were others involved "behind the scenes" as you put it , that we never saw performing with Abba on our Television sets. So many people, family, friends, have said no, no, it was just the four of them. Well, when I would listen to the music itself without the lyrics there was no way that was all coming from just two instruments. Thank you again I appreciated your response very very much. You have a good day. I hope I made sense in my response to you.
