'There's not a soul out there, no one to hear my round her forehead the 'Agnetha way', hands in pockets as if no big deal is happening there just right at the time they record one of the greatest dance tunes ever.I bet she could have never imagined this would be talked and still get us excited even after 44 years. I'll always love you Abba.I can't forget.

[MarK-lyml]

I love how this songs make everyone move. 😂 No matter the age and musical preferences

[dagmar.]

I grew up with all the fabulous music from the 60's - 80's. ABBA was one of my favorites. They had lots of hits & I owned many of their albums. I can't think of a bad song by them. Some of their best are "Thank You For The Music", "Waterloo", "Money, Money, Money", "The Name Of The Game", "Super Trouper", "I Have A Dream", "Voulez-Vous", "Fernando", "Chiquitita", "Take A Chance On Me", "Mamma Mia", "SOS", "Knowing Me, Knowing You" etc.

ABBA one of the best pop music group of all times. I love all songs. Madonna used the intro of this song. Hang up.

[alejandrosantanaborquez]

The best pop music came from sweden.... ❤ ABBA 👑
(ABBA, pronounced just like "yabba, dabba, doo")
They have so many hits...
Try 'Money money money'
❤️🇨🇱👍

[petterhansson]

The long version is even better, with the long dance interlude included. You can listen to it if you run their official lyric video instead.

[Ferretlover]

this is an amazing band... the Movie Momma Mia is a storyline written on all ABBA songs, Based on the play Momma Mia... they had SO MANY big this is a rabbit hole I love to fall down and get lost in !!

[lorrigaines]

I graduated high school in 1979! Takes me back to the fun days of youth when I was indestructible! I’m sure the headphones were to save the hair. Lol, I wore my hair the same way as did many girls then. Thanks for your reactions!

Hello again
nice to see you with reaction to ABBA songs

"Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" (1979)
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 singer Agnetha has

ABBA was preparing their 1979 Tour of America and Europe,
in the previous one, They recorded this song and filmed the official video

These is an official 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)


These is a short versión
in last months ABBA did these new official lyric video
of "Gimme gimme gimme" full versión

The introduction and the instrumental ending,
that characteristic sound of Benny's keyboards,
is what Madonna used for her worlwide hit
"Hung Up" in 2005, 26 years later...
(with the permission of the composers Björn and Benny,
granting them share the credits)


Surely for the latter, with more than 390 million views,
the original video with the shorts versión is the second official ABBA video
with the most views on YouTube (behind "Dancing Queen", which has more than 725 million views)

and also for this last reason, surely
"Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)"
is much more popular now than in its time
when it was released it was #3 in the UK, it wasn't even released in the US
now also a centerpiece at the new ABBA Voyage concerts in London

Another interesting date is that these is one of songs tgat ABBA recorded in spanish:
"Dame Dame Dame" (1980) and ABBA performed it in an interview to Spanish TV

Thank you again for these video
See you in the next ; GOD bless you
My best regards from
Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
South America

In case the background riff sounds familiar, Madonna used it in her "Hung Up" song/video ( one of her more lascivious efforts). I'm pretty sure it was the only time the ABBA songwriters ever gave anyone permission to cover any of their material in a different composition/arrangement.
BTW, I always really fancied the way Agnetha "rocked" that pastel pink cotton jumpsuit. Just added that much more to an already almost overwhelming level of her feminine pulchritude ( fancy word for beauty).

[lauraroberson]

Welcome to the ABBA rabbit hole! There is a fun version of this song included in the movie "Mama Mia", which has a ton on their songs incorporated. Enjoy hearing them sing. Dancing Queen, Does Your Momma Know, tons of number ones too.

[jeannieschmidt]

Summer Night City is my top fave. But Does Your Mother Know, Voules Vouz, Name of the Game, and Under Attack are all fantastic as well. Amazing rabbit hole to go down. Enjoy the ride.

[paulecrosby]

One of the best groups ever with over 450 million albums sold nd a 5 billion dollar worldwide musical.

[atomicalcohol]

Oooo how I love watching you hear these songs for the first time. Your reactions are just gold to me.

[marsbearmcw]

I grew up in the eighties. I remember this song on its release date. I’ve probably heard it thousands of times. On record, bars, discos, radio, tv and I’ve never ever heard it labeled with a man after midnight tacked onto the end of it. The song is called gimme gimme gimme. Comprende, capeesh.

[najaberthelsen]

Get me on the dancefloor already..! 😩✨

[xp]

Love ABBA and I grew up on their wonderful music in the 70’s and 80’s. You crack me up with your reviews. Love watching you discover the music of my youth. It makes me relive the experience again. Thanks for sharing.

[kathleenryan]

ABBA one of the best groups ever, THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, that's a hint try that song

[eduardooscar]

to answer your questions

the blonde singer Agnetha usually wears headphones like this,
she has been seen in later recordings as a soloist after ABBA

As for the successes and number 1,
ABBA has more than 20 world hits
its main market was UK (also Australia and Germany)
where he had 20 Top 10 singles (18 of them consecutive)
including 9 number 1 singles:
Waterloo
Mamma mia
Fernando
Dancing queen
Knowing me knowing you
The name of the game
Take a chance on me
The winner takes it all
Super trouper

And they also have other hits that were not Number 1 in the UK
but in other parts of the world
ex: "Chiquitita" (1979)
their biggest hit in all of Latin America.

Their first worldwide hit was "Waterloo",
when ABBA won the classic 1974 Eurovision Song Contest.
(Next year will be 50 years of that historic and iconic act
and maybe there will be an special mention)

looking at the two songs you heard from ABBA,
my suggestion for a next one is
"Take a chance on me" (1978)
ABBA's best-selling song in the United States
#3 on Billboard
seventh #1 of ABBA in UK

If you are a schooled singer, as Agnetha is, you can hold a note as long as she does with proper technique: not breathing out but holding your abdominal muscles tight.
