ABBA - Thank You For The Music (Japan TV Special 1978)

[Soloiszt]

My favourite song! :))

[ratonsito06]

Gracias por la musica! Hermosa!

[SiamLoveLoveLove]

I plan to set this song as my alarm clock.

[billyboobtubeboy]

Lost verse from Agnetha: No thank you for dropping confetti in my mouth.

[lupus3001]

Ich bin 73 gebo

ren, so I Thank you for the Musik !!!!

[Colt7512]

Die Musik und der Song ist einsame Spitze abehab nich nie ien derart schlechtes Playback gesehen. Schaut euch mal das Video genauer an.

[andromedarr]

@Colt7512 Schonmal die Studioversion mit der verglichen? Ist kein Playback. Falls du denkst es ist Playback weil sich ihre Lippen ganz anders bewegen, sowas nennt man Video-Delay, du hörst hier die Tonspur früher als das Video, deshalb siehts so aus.

[Colt7512]

@andromedarr , ok ok, sorry muß zu geben hab mich geirrt. Mich hat es irretiert, das das Video schneller als der Song ist. Ich nehme alles zurück.

[MoD366]

@andromedarr Ist genau andersherum... um dieses Phänomen zu vermeiden (hab zumindest das Gefühl, dass es so ist), spielt youtube die Audio-Spur ein wenig zeitversetzt nach hinten. Wenn das Video also eigentlich synchron wäre, siehst du die Lippenbewegung, bevor der dazugehörige Text kommt. Das hat man hier sehr oft, es gibt aber leider keine Möglichkeit, das für alle Videos richtig hinzubekommen.

[bostaurus1]

ridiculous.... i thought abba was real

[lowflo1]

Why did ABBA split up? I grew up listening to ABBA as a kid. My mum would be playing them all the time. I miss ABBA!

[dersimerdal]

ABBA is legend!!

[crazymelomanka]

i wonder how this confetti didn't get inside her mouth! that's when lip-sync could actually come in handy ))

[kevin184988]

i love singing out loud yes i am crying

[SiamLoveLoveLove]

I don't care Lip-sync or not I love it all.

[NeusingerNeuAnfangen]

SCHÖNE MUSIC

NNA

[Jojosternchen1]

the mouth and the voice isn`t the same, isn`t it?

[ustein1000]

Abba, eine der größten Band´s aller Zeiten! Hoffe insgeheim immer noch auf ein Comeback

[alexander200559]

[TheBerg123]

lololololol Hilarity ensues when the confetti starts pouring! I can just imagine Frida speaking in Swedish, "Who the f^ck's in charge of the confetti?!" LMAO And lol at the cheesy fanfare @ the end. I love this video!

[ralphomat]

THANK YOU!

[omydel]

Both Karen and Abba's versions are awesome.

Karen sang it alone, Abba sang it by group.

No comparison between the two

Both Hall of Famer

[CNDR70]

Exelente, nunca me canso de escuharlo

[sillybrat1965]

BAUTIFUL!!!



[bookerTTTT]

[fortinero45]

Agnetha sos una diosa total,unica e inigualable

AGNETHA ES ABBA

[Nordico985]

Beautiful!!!!!

[TheGaloucurafeminina]

search santeba

[ahmed341]

thnk u 4 the music!

[humanbeansprout]

What's TV program?

I thought it was a "Music Fair" on Fuji TV, Tokyo Japan, according to the atmosphere.

But, TBS in ending credit.

mmm.

[yggeo]

Where's Karen Carpenter?..is ABBA who made that song or Karen Carpenter?..

[starfox322]

ABBA wrote all their own songs. Karen Carpenter did a cover of this song.

[meadeser]

Karen Carpenter died in 1983 and ABBA recorded the song for The Album.

[ninalacson]

Thank You for Posting this Video I also Liked ABBA and helps you remember all the past you encountered...memories that had past THANK YOU "dfmya85" for posting this video THANK VERY MUCH.

[tb5365]

Thank you so much for posting this. I love ABBA and it just amazes me that no matter how many videos I see of them or about them, there is always something new to be discovered! And thanks especially for this one -it really put a smile on my face! Besides showing what GREAT performers they truly were, it also shows that they were true Super Troupers!

[MrTrashcan1]

Oh, brother, these productions. Did they really have to drop confetti on them? The poor girls were picking the stuff out of their mouths. The wonderful music wasn't enough?

[AngelHjug]

Why is it just Agneta that sings? I wanted to hear Anne-frids song voice.

[Phaedra1967]

Because Agnetha does the solo in this tune. From c. 1977, ABBA had a prominent lead singer in many tunes. This happens to be an Agnetha-tune. If you search for "Super Trouper", "The Visitors", "When All Is Said And Done" you will find Frida as lead singer.

[se0222]

perfect live..

[penendnat]

still my favorit.... so many good songs thanks ABBA

[sedasome]

[abbaMANQUEZ]

This is LIVE! This is LIVE! This is LIVE! And who says that agnetha cant sing Live? Deaf! Listen to it, its way far better than on the studio version!! Great! Great! Great! Great!

[zdofredo]

The music at the end is amazing!

[jackpatch11]

wow

[klongiklongi]

hi exflace, ur watching too!

[justanickygthang]

I spotted 4 times when the foil got stuck on Agnetha's beautiful lips and at 2:49, it looks as though she swallows one! I hope she has good insurance!

[shireencairo]

pardon me?what foil please?i want to notice too,ty

[123456789lyn]

i think he/she meant was confeti

[BaerchenprinzBln]

WOW. Live as good as on record.

[tigersammy]

I love how gracefully she puts that foil away from her mouth.

A few less of that foils would done the job.

[abitabi616]

I think the song is just BEAUTIFUL!!!!! nd her voise OMG!!!!!!

[pamela0386]

its true everyone listens when agnetha starts to sing. wonderful voice. may abba never fade. and thank you for the music!!!!

[angel585]

The strength of Agneta's voice and the versatility of Frida's are simply magical together :) Beautiful!

[abbaMANQUEZ]

wahehe.. what about agnetha alone?

just kidding..

:D

[malibuses]

Agnetha the strongest most beautiful voice of Abba is amazing as usual.

[emily72]

Benny looks close to laughing.

[mmimtc]

maybe because he noticed the foils of paper were falling from the roof directly into the girls' mouths!

[damothepianist]

Wow. I'd not seen this version before. Just shows how well the girls could sing live as well as in the studio. PURE JOY. If only Abba were today. Abba for world peace.

[eating100]

Underbart bästa låten ni gjort!

[EnzFab73]

I love this live performance. ABBA did a lot of TV appearances & mostly sang to playback but in the rare occasions when they sang live like here, the Olivia TV show & the Dick Cavatt TV special, they more than delivered. The girls voices are gorgeous. I still can't choose which version of this song live I love best, this one, the Wembley version or the Dick Cavett version.

[Lynnianaa]

Oh, what will life be!? Without the song or dance, what are we!?

[PedroRio07]

The girls almost ate the foil paper leaves showering over them... Plus the brass is too loud, but it pays off as usual... Grand finale!

[neeth]

To bombastic......Agnetha sings live like an angel!!!!

[dinope4o]

angels!!

[bennjr]

They deserve endless standing ovations.

[djcamperSHD]

This song is a trip to heaven.

[ibanT]

The music is magic, and ABBA too :)

[LindiABBA]

So i thank ABBA for the music, for giving it to me..!!

[BaerchenprinzBln]

wow- a live version. wonderful. and no screaming fans like on the dvd "in concert". and they´re as good as on record, cd whatever. thank you for putting it here dfmyab85!

[marsgothfire]

who can live without it. i know i cant't

[jkygogo]

To this date, Abba still is the most talented group with incredible voices that I've never heard yet. There's only one Abba.

[bennjr]

Agreed 100%. "American Idol", eat your heart out

[Krigerskjalden]

Thank you ABBA for the music. My favorite of all their songs.

[Krigerskjalden]

Thank you ABBA. My favorite of all their song.

[tsuhna88]

How can you beat that. No way.

[KingCharltonHeston]

I like it. Love how they keep going even while plucking the confetti out of their mouths. Can you imagine Jessica Simpson doing that nearly as well? I think not.

[nalaspappa]

Thank you Abba, that was magnificient! Beautiful!

[eating100]

Underbart,Tack ABBA.Detta är min favoritmelodi!

[adnilemel2007]

Yes! Thank you for your music ABBA... I will treasure all your music forever!

[bluebarlinka]

Great! Thans so much. They are very proffesional also. There is only smile on their faces despite the confetti.

[merlin186]

i love the way she picks the confetti out of her mouth. and doesnt miss a beat

[IGP64]

Simply amazing! 6 and a half stars.

[SweMozArt]

Perhaps ABBA should have toured with a big band!?

[simonemandana4ever]

why are you always on about if they could sing live or not Neeth? of course they could you TWAT your so BOREING the CRAP you come out with

[abbafan999]

Definitely her best live performance of this song. She sounds nervous on the other live versions.

[cliffkast]

Absolutely amazing! ABBA had the whole package, like the Beatles and the BeeGees - any more or less would have been wrong.

[neeth]

The proof that Agnetha could sing live very well!

[Pabilla]

Please, do you want to exchange videos? I really want this video =) I have quite a lot videos on my computer. Please send me a mail: pabilla@hotmail.com. Thanks for uploading! // Camilla

[justanickygthang]

Simply spectacular! I love this song live! Do you have any more truly LIVE clips from the Japanese special?

[dfmyab85]

There's S.O.S. and Money, Money, Money i believe
