ABBA is timeless. So many years has been passed, and the new generations, that haven't even been born back then, still love their songs. I grew up listening ABBA, because my parents have listened them all the time back in 70's and 80's, and it's so precious to me to see the generations of my children love them.

Björn Ulvaeus, the leadsinger in this song is singing on quite a number of ABBA songs,and he does it really good, there is not just the women that can sing very good in this super group called ABBA. He is both a singer,and songwriter together with the other male,Benny Andersson and they do it better then anyone else. An extra plus to this for this very nice and happy video...as it if it needed more plus then it really have,which is really much.

Björn was, previous to ABBA, a member of a folksong group named Hotenanny Singers (late sixties-seventies) and he wrote almost all the lyrics for songs that ABBA recorded! Benny, played at the same time in a very popular Swedish rock group named Hep Stars! He composed most of ABBA's music. Benny ihas now his own very popular orchestra named BAO - Benny Andersson Orchestra.

Hello James, i don't know if you know this because this in news for over a year, in the Netherlands and also in other European countrys, but Abba is working on a come back, did you know that? Somewhere in 2020 (date unknown), they will release new songs: "I still have faith in you" and "Don't shut me down", to name a few.They will also go on a special Avatartour, with holograms, based on their looks from the 70's. So, we can expect new Abba songs and I hope very soon. Have a good day and greetings from the Netherlands. :)

Hi, brother, sometimes the highly requested songs do not necessarily reflect the most popular, I am an ABBA fan since the 70's. My humble suggestion is-try check out the least requested songs.

This was their last big hit. It reminds me of driving to work at my first job, at Burger King. It was all over the radio that Summer. ABBA was 2 married couples, and the guys were the musicians and songwriters. They wrote almost every song for the girls as lead vocals, with healthy competition between the wives for lead vocals on some songs. But they're Swedish, the ultimate diplomats :-) Please, for more variety, check out their songs Chiquitita, SOS, and I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do. YOU, my friend, are awesome.
