ABBA - Waterloo (Official Music Video) 

They didn’t get any points from France in Eurovision for it!

Ask the French 🤣🤣🤣👀

Ommmmggggggg YASSSSS QUEEN IM A HUGE FAN YAAAASSSSSAA

That probably happened multiple times immediately after it happened. You can imagine popular songs being written and performed and spread but never recorded or written down.

The most underrated comment😂👁👁

Teacher:What do you know about the battle of Waterloo Me: WATERLOOOOOOO !!!!!!

Holy shit I love you...AND YOU LIKE FREDDIE?! My god we need to be friends

Napoleon lost defeated by the British and Prussians (led by Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher). Napoleon would eventually be sent in exile to the island of St. Helena.

weathernco: what the-

Nerd0! Why does this have 21 likes so overrated

Amazing band!

Wow

and its still better than today's music

no more lessons in their lyrics, only enjoyment😉

I was not yet four and Play School age at the time- don't remember first time round (turn 54 in June!)

Did you know today is the 50th anniversary of [Waterloo]? It was originally released on March 4th, 1974.

Well if someone had said to me I was weird because a liked ABBA I would have sent him or her straight to hell! Regards.

Yes. Its the more or less simple or wholesome lyrics, snappy beat and above all the harmony. Good music ALWAYS ages well.

Same with Justin Bieber

In an ocean of crap, they are quite an island of heaven.

As many as possible to remind us that these and other rock? musicians of that era could write music, play instruments & sing something that doesn't sound like a funeral dirge, that's how many.

With faces like these two leave it on zoom

Lol

The people replying don’t understand the joke... 😔

@@RonSwansonIsMyGod The boots are not at *KISS* level... but still deserve an honorable mention !!! :):):)

Buzzy, I read as the part was playing

That foreshadowing, tho...

Only if Ascension Island sinks to the ocean floor And I mean earlier than 100+ yrs👻

Yet everyone keeps letting it fucking happen... Meaty Fools.

Jesus The light bringer same..

lol I just watched the movie and all I could think about was this song 😂

I was hoping it would start playing when he surrendered

As a history aficionado, this made me chuckle. All those European powers needed to chill, all things considered, so this would set the mood perfectly at the movie theater

Ha that’s funny😂

That wouldve never worked, the movie is about war, not a love story or sitcom

ur brain what?

Omg same XD

Thats so true

Is* They are still releasing music :)

Their music makes me happy

1974

Replace "were" with "is" 😉

Time travel ? It was 49 yrs ago

I was in high school when this came out and I still love it.

he talks about ABBA, not this song​@@gerryh8367

ABBA didn´t exist 60 years ago.

I think you probably meant 50 years? Just a guess.

"Eurovision!"

Oh you must be new to notice this trend, See, in Eurovision you can have An Estonian Opera Song sang in Italian A Turkish dentist singing for San Marino Greta Thunberg’s mother singing opera German people speaking Gibberish A Norwegian song sang in Swahili Flo Rida representing San Marino An Irish kids TV show Character representing Ireland An Azeri woman singing about Cleopatra An Israeli woman making chicken noises Russian Grandmas baking bread on stage Darude representing Finland and not even qualifying for the grand final Polish girls churning butter on stage And much more

Why didn’t they do it in Swedish ???

And this army was constituted of a lot of prussians 🤣

#PeakDiversity :D :D

And don’t forget the Dutch, their prince even died in battle

A really European song!

It's just as well Napoleon lost, otherwise, if he had won instead, they would have been singing 'Waterloo' in French. I don't how "My, my! At Waterloo , Wellington did surrender" would sound in French.

Ça sera pour mon anniversaire aujourd'hui

Prussia won*

lol

@@mozess8512 And Prussia won*

@@MG-me5fe The plan of the English was: let's stay on this hill and wait for the Prussians. Dude the Prussians won Waterloo. The English did what they do all the time, wait for an ally.

No. He showed it just as a fun thing to see... He said after this had nothing to do with Napoleon.

Jagga Muffin He probably had fun once, but thought it was awful.

***** Dude, go do something else instead of just sitting on youtube arguing with everything and everyone that dares to comment.

***** Good, cause if you didn't read up on your history, Napoleon was the bad guy.

***** Nice edge m8. Bet your mom is proud.

SAME!!!!

My mom brought me here by always playing Abba when I was young does that count

ABBA?....... ABB....... DAB

same bro ✋

I’ve been waiting 25 years for this moment!!! lol 😆

I was just searching for this

@@simonemastroianni1985 me too

😂😂😂 Classic Simpsons!

i had to look this up, sadly. but damn that's hilarious

It would be like a corny ‘80s sitcom, but hey it’d add some more personality than the actual film. 😊 The box office was the film’s Waterloo.

Hate to be the one who's telling you, but You're in love

Same

'Cause this is an amazing bop XD

Are you high?

like , i found this after like 5 years or so

Music back then can't compare to the crap they play these days take me back the the better times

Remember when it first came out. Dang I'm old.

Stunning are ABBA.

I know what you're saying, Rod Roller, but this is 2021, and 47 years ago would be 1974. I think this came out about 3 or 4 years after that (just a guess but maybe 1977, 1978, or so, like maybe even '79 or '80). Anyways, yes, they're fabulous!!!

@@alexandraasbury9974 Look at the description below the video for the year of release. This song won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest (and earned ABBA much more fame I guess...) Yes, they are fabulous :)

Glad to see you made it out all those hardship in your life, Bless you and take care ❤️

I love that this comment section is still active.

hahaha your country has no name, America is a continent

@@kimberly4233we are called the United States of America. But that’s to long so we just go my America instead. None of the other countries int North,South or Central America seem to care so it’s genuinely easier to use America as our title. And what does that have to do with ABBA anyways?

@@Shrek-ru5of In other countries you say United States, put your own name, they don't care because they don't know

ABBA forever!

Love the song, the outfits, the shoes.....everything!

Their smiles are infectious :D

you think taht this is the middle of qaurantine

you need Jesus - he is the way, the truth and the life

Such an interesting story thanks for sharing! I wonder whose it was

Wow 50s years ago and I’m from Toronto Canada too 🇨🇦 🍻

Fantastic

you were right and they were wrong .. .end of story.

I'm 74 and I still love 'em

YOU HAD SOME FRIENDS WITH NOT A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY! I LIKED CLAPTON TOO, BUT WHO DOESN'T LIKE ABBA!

And i am 17 :)

That's how I have always felt...their music made me feel happy.

Sweden has many exports like Abba Pewdiepie Roomie Roxette Avicci And many more!!

Roque Ngo he said number one

Also Avicii and SHM

Roque Ngo sabaton , ghost , Yngwie Malmsteen, hammerfall

renato villatoro wait what? Lmao SHM

This stuff is pretty timeless. I don’t think we’ll ever have to worry about it dying out.

I'm 32 and last week my 13 yo niece sent me a music video of "this really cool old song [she] discovered." It was Waterloo. Abba will be around for a while.

okay literally same

Same here. My mother is in the same generation as ABBA (she was even pregnant at the same time as Agnetha, so my sister is only one day younger than Agnetha's and Björn's daughter Linda) and was a fan back then, despite the fact that the overly left-wing cultural elite here in Sweden in the 70s was against them.

your mother is a great good mother!

Me too. Everyone at my school thinks I'm weird, but who doesn't like abba

same

You are so right. Everybody "disliked" Abba's music but still they had hit after hit in the Netherlands and the best selling albums.

would never have listened to them at all - but they stand the test of time

why did they denied listening to them?

@@Anonymous-tt1qs Because it was a Disco song. Lookup "Disco sucks".

@@redhen2470 disco is amazing

Same!!

Me too…..time to pull out my vinyl LP’s…..having an ABBA fest.

YAS Whos with this guy?ME

1974

I've decided to binge listen to every one of their songs! It's the best decision I ever made!

You are Napoleon Bonaparte??? How old are you??😂

There's much to what you state! I'm in the first camp, happier and better- more open- for it!

Same!!!!!!!!! ABBA IS AWESOME IVE LOVED THEM SINCE I WAS 3 I'm now 9

May you have a long and happy life as an ABBA fan!

Yeah my dad was like the second type there. He liked "hard rock" (because Black Sabbath is serious fucking business) so he could never admit he loved abba

I"m the type that has a hard admitting they have some great songs (like this one).

So good lol

*Mr. Burns. It's insane how simple checking your comment is before posting it, yet nobody does it.

Justin Dems yeah true😂 but he is one of the most famous men of all time highly romanticised and vilified on both sides

@@fredbarker9201 Well he was just a historical figure, some people hated him and said he was evil other loved him and said he was great🤷‍♂️ The truth lies in between, he did both good and bad things as we all do.

Justin Dems true but he’s not A historical figure you could argue he’s THE historical figure. 300,000 plus biographies. More books written about him than days since he died! (200 years ago)

the song is using the battle as a metaphor for relationships being remembered so much that your battles are part of the cultural zeitgeist is something to be proud of for sure

@Degree7 yep a war to remove monarchy and give everyone rights to become a person and not stay an expenditure for the country, what an evil man. In reality napoleon lost and history is written by the victors so the monarchies of the time would demonise him, yet his legacy lives on in the form of constitutions and civil rights that we would not have imagined back then.

49 years old

@@jbsMUWcreations2089 closen enough

​@@jbsMUWcreations2089daaa

Hard to believe that most people don't know that even in 2023 Abba are the 3rd biggest selling band in the world, Queen at 2 and the Beatles at 1. Even the rolling Stones have not outsold them and that is despite rereleasing albums during the time Abba had split up for like 20 years or something.

Its very catchy

*nods with approval*

Jokes aside, He may have lost the battle, but still his name lives on... That is everything. To have your name in the history books for centuries and millennia. It is indeed remarkable that a person who lost is more famous than the victors.

He was fine after Waterloo. Do they even teach history anymore?

@@HuplesCat i didn’t say he died at Waterloo , i said he fell, as in the metaphorical sense. I think he died in exile of consumption and lead poisoning

@@TheEnderBand sorry. Text is a terrible communications method. Thanks for correcting me politely. Have a great week

Good music can cross generations and bring people together. Happy to hear this song was able to bring you and your Grandpa together!

pj23 it definitely does :). I always cry when listening to this but not bcs of sadness, but because of happiness and love, because I feel his presence back and since the day now, I guess it still brings us together!

Ok, that was a weird story and the way you told it was equally weird.

How come?
