El final instrumental de esta canción es apoteósico, eso es obra de Benny aunque se parece a una polonesa de Chopin. Personalmente es lo único que me gusta de esta canción. Para mí es verdad lo que dice John Tobler (el segundo crítico que aparece en este video) la canción es un chiste, parece salida de un musical de televisión con poca reputación, jaja ja ja. lo digo en el buen sentido del humor, sin ofender a nadie, no quiero echarme encima a los devotos fans de ABBA porque yo también soy su fan, pero me entristece algunos de sus temas, de esos que en mi opinión, ojalá nunca hubieran publicado, incluyendo lo más reciente. Saludos Mora y gracias por pasar a comentar.
I never cared for it really. So, I never listened to it enough to get into its meaning. I love ABBA and have tremendous respect for Bjorn and Benny but I listen to and love ABBA because of the two beautiful singers...Agnetha and Frida. The guys are like a Lennon-McCartney in song writing but can’t sing John or Paul. The girls ROCK
This is no filler song! “Incomplete command of English?” - How insulting can you get. This is a very clever song with very clever lyrics, something McCartney would have been proud of I’m sure. To say the lyrics were ‘naff’ means you’d have to disregard half of The Beatles catalogue - Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, I Am The Walrus to name a few. The critic here doesn’t understand that the artistry of the song is its very wordplay and arrangement. The band coming in at the end of the song is masterful, almost Sgt. Pepperesque in delivery. I’m a progressive rock fan but have a massive soft spot for perfect pop and ABBA were and still are for me right at the top of the pile. Other fav tracks are “Me & I”, “Cassandra” and “I Am The City”.
I disagree on several points. For me this is the weakest song on the album The Visitors and it's okay that it happens, no group is perfect, ABBA has about 10 very weak songs, but more than 50 at the highest level And I don't agree with the comparison between Paul McCartney and The Beatles either. I take it as an irony towards Paul, who is a master at melodies but weaker at lyrics. but still songs with silly or simple lyrics like "Hello goodbye", "Ob-la-di ob-la-da" , or "Silly love songs" from his solo stage They are true masterpieces !!! (no comparation with "Two for the price of one") But opinions and tastes are different and all are respected and we learn to grow in diversity. kind regards P.S: I agree with "I am the city"more , and "Cassandra" too; not with "Me and I"
NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. I LOOOOOOVE THIS TRACK TO BITS. I'M IN LOVE WITH ALL ABBA SONGS. THE ONE I LOVE THE LEAST, IS SANTA ROSA. ABBA=MASTERPIECE, ABBA, AN ETERNAL FLAME IN MUSIC❤💖💝💘
@@MVLEITON Hey Manuel. It changes all the time. Here's some exsamples of how a top 10 could look like 1 One of us 2 King kong song 3 The visitors 4 That's me 5 The name of the game 6 What about Livingstone 7 Another town another train 8 Elaine 9 Money money money 10 Lay all your love on me Another top 10 1 The king has lost his crown 2 Ring ring 3 Two for the price of one 4 Hasta manana 5 S.O.S. 6 Me and I 7 As good as new 8 Eagle 9 Sitting in the palmtree 10 Andante andante Then it can be like this 1 The winner takes it all 2 When all is said and done 3 Does your mother know 4 Honey honey 5 Dum dum diddle 6 I've been waiting for you 7 So long 8 I wonder ( departure ) 9 The piper 10 Waterloo And then 1 Dancing queen 2 Under attack 3 Voulez vous 3 Dance ( while the music still goes on) 4 Intermezzo no. 1 5 Knowing me knowing you 6 Move on 7 Crazy world 8 Dreamworld 9 Tiger 10 Super trouper I mean , sooooooo many GREAT songs to choose from. Right now my fave is What about Livingstone. People tend to lable ABBA as a pop band, when in fact, they're the perfect blend of pop, rock, folk, reggae, classical, country, funk and disco music.YES, ABBA is my FAVE band of all time, I'm eclectic though, when it comes to music. I also love, The Eagles, Bob Marley, Anne Murray, Kenny Rogers, Dua Lipa, Tina Turner, Supertramp, Suzi Quatro, Stevie Wonder, Sweet, Josh Groban, Kylie Minogue, AC/DC, Ella Fitzgerald, Pointer sisters, Fleetwood mac, The weekend,, Donna Summer, Celine Dion, Whitney, and the list goes ' On and on and on '. Wanna wish u an ABBA DABBA DOOO weekend, take care, STAY SAFE, SPREAD L💘VE, hate is a virus🤗 Ps. To all who just bought ABBA GOLD/MORE GOLD, go buy all 8 ABBA studio albums, sooooooo many MASTERPIECES on them , that u cant find on GOLD/MORE GOLD, u won't regret it🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@steviebboy69 Hey Stevie I had a friend who got scared when King kong song exploded out of the speakers, when he was around 7 years old. Kinda funny I think. How's ur expectations to the 5 new ABBA songs arriving later this year? I'm sooooooo looking forward to hear the girls sing solo and harmonize again. Never lost hope since 1982. Wishin u an ABBA DABBA DOOO evenin 🤗
No sé si la letra es tan complicada para un grupo como ABBA Si considero que es de las canciones más flojas del album "The Visitors" En cambio no coincido sobre "Does your mother know" que Sí es muy buena canción (entre las mejores del album "Voulez Vous")
A mi también me encanta "Does your mother know", la melodía, el sonido, la interpretación, tiene una fuerza increíble Sin embargo el crítico apunta a la letra de la canción, allí está la debilidad que el define como hortera, vulgar.
@@MVLEITON es ' aceptable ' , tampoco soy fanático de esa letra jajaja, porque NO es una Obra Maestra como "The winner takes it all" o "Slipping through my fingers" (me refiero a las letras) y soy comprensivo, porque como suecos de origen se defendieron bien en el mercado angloparlante a un conjunto inglés le exijiria más Bienvenida la divergencia, con respeto y tolerancia, lo más importante es que todos amamos a ABBA, su música y canciones
Sin dudas ABBA es uno de los mejores grupos POP de la historia, la banda sonora más vendida en los años 70, por lejos. Pero hay canciones que lo complican como a todo el resto…ningún grupo es perfecto.
It's not one of my favorites but I don't think it's the worst ABBA song, although it's a different and risky proposal, The Visitors has worse like Like An Angel and the infamous Soldiers. If I have to choose the worst it would be either People Need Love or Lovers. People Need Love is a very experimental and somewhat country track, although ABBA vindicated themselves with He Is Your Brother, a bop. On the Lovers side, it's a very new wave influenced song and it's so flat and boring, the only highlights being the opening guitar and Agnetha's solo.
I don't agree with "People need love" (7pts) quite good and pure for being one of their first and not having the "wall of sound" production and I don't agree with "Soldiers" either (8pts) very good musically and very well sung If I agree with "Lovers..." (4/5 pts) too loud and ugly for my ear) and "Like an angel..." (4/5 pts) it seems like the song of a soloist and not of a group like ABBA
Las cosas son como son: Björn metió la pata hasta las trancas con la letra de esta canción...!!! Dicen que rectificar es de sabios...Pero a Björn le dió lo mismo lo que los seguidores de ABBA pensaran al respecto una vez que estos escucharan la canción...!!! En fin...!!! ;)
“Las cosas son como son” claro que sí, mi estimado… escribir esta letra no es de sabios. Björn metió las patas no solo con esta canción sino con varias más. ABBA es la banda sonora de mi vida, mi grupo favorito por excelencia, pero eso no significa que le deba incondicionalidad y que influya en mi opinión objetiva. LAS COSAS SON COMO SON.
@@MVLEITON Manuel se podría decir más alto, más nunca más claro...!!! Es una satisfacción observar tu objetividad al respecto. Algo meritorio por tu parte que hace que los artistas se pongan más alto su listón creativo. Claro que sí; lo cortés no quita lo valiente...!!! Muchos saludos...!!! ;)
