Ring ring -ABBA

[psychedelicinvasion]

This video is SO amazing, haha. It makes me so incredibly happy. They're all so pretty! lol. Great song. ABBA rocks.

[TobyTheTissue]

I know the 70s have a lot answer for - but oh my dear god: that cape!

[galaxiepilot1]

Seems different to see the extra 2 guitar players and drummer on the set, but more power to them, I am sure they are enjoying the view of the two works of art right in front of them, they may be having difficulty concentrating on hitting the right notes....

[Rita1972]

Young people need to understand that was how 70's were, crazy and fun. I don't rememebr much, I was a little kid. But I love those costumes and everything ABBA did. They are absolutely one-of-a-kind. Viva ABBA!!!!!

[kennyt1230]

Love their costumes

[DavidLyons7]

A fantastic song like all Abba songs......have a listen to my Eurovision 2009 entry for Ireland its on my site.....

[ccjr39]

Agnetha is so sexy and beautiful. such a great voice and a great body!!

[wildheart0411]

:))))))))))))

[ILoveABBA12]

I love the bue eyes of Benny! He is sexy!

[jgdesign]

This has been slowed down significantly from the version on the record.

[sinatraandaerosmith]

Hot!!

[L337KaN]

Tad bit racist below.. dont cha think? Maybe thats why people hate america :O?

[Kingbub09]

I call on all young white Americans to stop listening to rap music and imitating blacks...it is downright disgusting, no wonder Americans are hated worldwide...this is your Kultur, this is your pride, this is your heritage...appreciate it, and above all, savour it...alle for Sverige!!!

[zarathustra4life]

I agree. I am devoted to truth, and rap supports falsehood.

[Hzqi]

Rap supports falsehood? What an ignorantly paranoid remark. Rap is merely a stylistic approach at the mercy of it's exploiter. Some of the most scathing truth has been wielding by rap artists, and some of the most obnoxious misinformation and bigotry has been unleashed by genres like rock and pop. Ever hear a charming old country tune called "Coon town"?

How about the startlingly honest rap classic: Fear Of a Black Planet?

[bruggertje122]

lollig liedje, maar ze zijn wel beter geworden

[tobyzieglerwh]

Els vestits no tenen nom, però la cançó molt bona!

[eGoVampire2008]

esta musica e muito fofa.

[chocolatepoundcake]

Remember the fashion back then. It's so easy to make fun of it now, but how do we dress, even if it's just jeans and our hairstyles? 20 yrs from now we might laugh about that. Abba was quite amazing by pop music standards, I think. They wrote it all, perhaps even produced it. Anyone know?

[BlueJayMoody]

Yes they were and are amazing, Chocolate. When you think here's a group that is not even together anymore, playing and they have acquired more and more fans! Fans who were not even alive when ABBA was touring. Bjorn and Benny put it all together. The girls were no lightweights either. Check out their DVD "Super Troupers" 30 years of music. They go into answering a lot of yer questions. Pretty kewl stuff. Music too, wooohoooo.

[BlueJayMoody]

ABBA made GOOD music.

Nice outfits, good lyrics. Sweet songs. Great harmonies....................

[jgdesign]

ABBA virtually invented the music video.

[Hzqi]

this brilliant clown with his hilarious sparkle guitar, is most definitly about 3/4 of the inspiration for Spinal Tap.

How boring would the world be, without people that don't realise they're lame? Oh, the agony.

[BlueJayMoody]

Why don't you give it a rest? They are the foundation for what you see in videos today since they had the money to put it all together.

Not to mention those 360 MILLION LP's they sold................

The costumes were to get attention and they did get that, didn't they?

[Hzqi]

Maybe I should run up the main street of a century completely nude, except for an awesome cape. I'm sure it would get "attention".

Why do people resort to "popularity" to prove a point? A trillion flies munch on dog poo every day. I'm not about to try it. The most popular thing on Youtube is a retard called "Fred", so no, bad taste as popularity doesn't mean much to me.

ABBA's music has some decent aspects, but as a visual aesthetic? Eep, disaster. Brilliantly funny disaster.

[Hzqi]

*Main street of a city even.

That snakey jumpsuit is pretty cool. Too bad she stands and gawks like a stilted gumby on a Kubrick set in it.

[BlueJayMoody]

Maybe you should, you appear to be craving for attention by defaming people who made an impact.

As a conceited ass no less. Carry on.

[Hzqi]

Ever notice how some people think there's an 11th commandment?

Thou shalt not criticize.

Criticism makes the world great. Ever listen to christian music? You know why christian rock is all crap? Because their feelings are nursed by the lack of standards. They so busy accailming anything that mentions Jesus, and being inclusive of anyone who has a go, that they don't DISCRIMINATE. And with no natural means to weed the garden, you get lots of crappy music, where once, was Beethoven

[Hzqi]

It's a point of view. Get over it or join a theocracy. The lyrics of sophomoric dribble. The music is decently composed pop-rock pandering, that well accomodates it's drippy lyrics. The outfits are unironic disasters. And the world is all the better for keeping the fashion police employed. And all the better for ABBA. The visual aspect is unremittingly b-grade. Fantastically so. Maybe you're craving for attention by rubbing shoulders in the spheres of fandom. Rationale is dissectable. Beware.

[BlueJayMoody]

A point of view you seem to want to be the dominant view here jerkboy. You get over yerself already.

ABBA was good!!! Their costumes were of the time and their lyrics were of a sweeter, gentler time.

Something that is obvious ---you have never experienced this kind of fun, carefree, kinder reaction to the music......move on pissant. Let ABBA fans share their love of the band here. Go find yerself a radical christian club and rock yerself into unconsciousness!

Ring Ring.......

[sinatraandaerosmith]

The music is good; I care about that. And the lyrics fit.

[Hzqi]

The music isn't terribly ingenuitive or compelling, but it's affable enough. The lyrics do fit the tone and effect of the music, but that victory is only half the battle in the war of truly great work.

As a random suggestion, something like Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here wins the war. The words fit beautifully, while attaining legend status as poetry unto itself.

[Hzqi]

Saying that the music is of a "sweeter, gentler" time, is a completely empty statement. It speaks to it's "style" but says nothing of it's substance or it's excellence. Assertion by false association.

And seriously, the dude has a sparkle guitar. Hendrix had been around near half a decade by this time, marking a greater embarrassment for it all. A SPARKLE GUITAR! If you can't see the eternal lame in that, then this conversation is fruitless (Which it is, anyway).

[total8799]

warum die noch keine Lack-Klamotten anhatten !!

[maddogtannen1966]

The 70s wernt that innocent . Girls wore no bras ON T.V. ! Try and find that now . It wont happen . Look at her Snake skin jumpsuit.....way ahead of its time . It came into style just about 8 years ago and still is .

[maddogtannen1966]

The 70s wernt that innocent . Girls wore no bras ON T.V. ! Try and find that now . It wont happen .

[dingbatbimbo]

WOW

[don417]

So outdated. But I guess text, text wouldn't be so big of a hit.

[kalel0192]

damn those outfits are hideous. the music is bad too.

[ErleMichael]

I think it's funny. Cute, too, in it's seventies' innocence.

[bobsixfour]

what year was this?  70's probably

[jgdesign]

It was sometime between 73 and 76.

[surffann]

Wow did not know this version existed.

[yellofury]

weird ive only seen the video where they sing outdoors with the wicker chairs

[MadeYaStopAndStare]

2:09 - 2:12

For 3 seconds i went to heaven <3

[fkgeiger]

who is the guy at the second guitar??

[boblab5]

Bring back the seventies! Love the outfits. Everyone looked like a cross-dresser.

[mysticphoebos]

Stop being silly and look into the NWO and the illuminati and get some meaning of life and how to be free...

[imaselhazona]

the guy with the guitar is always dressed very gay...

plus, it's like this band was made for future generations of drag queens

[EvilWarlock666]

LOL...!!

[ABBAERIC]

Well thats how they dressed in that day :D but it is true his boots with the heel may look different.

[jgdesign]

I was a teen in the 70's and regular people didn't dress like this. Only performers, and ABBA were known for their unusual costumes.

[ABBAERIC]

Oh, ok then Sorry for my mistake.But I still think its a good thing

[jgdesign]

No worries. You had to have been there to know that. Fortunately I was! ABBA always wore really strange and crazy clothes but so did KISS, Elton John and lots of others in the 70''s, but ABBA was always over the top of almost every other band when it came to bizarre stage clothes!

[ivanjatson2]

dude, if this was 1975, id so be wearing a cape in public. in, fact, i often do anyway.

[forevergladiator]

ABBA is a legend

[swimtube27]

Incredible to the day, beautiful people making Incredible music.

[smito123]

♥

[KrunkMate]

abba is right on track by far the best band in the world so you should like it or you are insane

[NaturalDisaster09]

same opinion!

[KrunkMate]

abba is the best band in the world anyone that does not like abba is mentally incane

[UnderMediKated]

Swedish women don't suffer from the 40/40 gene

like other women do!

P.S. the costumes suck big time!

[Ntrlhrsgrl]

different time mate...different fashion

[RingtailStudios]

Gotta love those outfits they were wearing in their early days. :D

[scottdej]

Too bad Bjorn has memory problems and can't remember this time of his life.

[Dragoness1000]

I know its sad is' it not

[CONWWE]

the guy with the funky guitar looks weird

[joshuademoraes]

yes he looks wonderwoman

[srf1969]

This was a great song that Abba performed!!!

[cricketbat08]

Swedish blonde girls are the prettesist women on earth. Angetha is so hot!

[Babyboy91199]

agnetha is sooooooooo hot

[spikeman14]

This is slower than the studio version. Possibly a pitch issue with the recording?

[IPCZX]

good job

[jgdesign]

2:10

Oh yeah - this what this video is all about

hehe

[rainonariver]

YES SIR I SAW THAT 2!

[yammyrob]

2.10 a second of heaven

[joshuademoraes]

yes I could see stars in that sky :b

[taliay93]

lmao crotch shot or ass shot?

[glomofnit]

ABBA is my favorite band of all time. But, I wonder if they ever returned the costumes to the League of Superheroes?

[andymguenther]

Oh Agnetha, oh Agnetha...

[jonbrumie]

love this song love ABBA!

[ankan127]

i are from sweden

[muiebarca]

so great:X:X

[andyzarbos]

They are great hey. This is not the version on the Ring Ring album though. This is in a lower key. Listen to some of the other versions here (I think) and you should find  "that classic ABBA sound" - in a much higher key so it sounds, and was, more vocally challenging but sounds brighter and shows off the girls voices more, if but a little shrill. Love Abba ! :)

[Mindfreaksabbath]

The used the Wall of sound

[Zonum1]

I love it when the girls make circles with their index finger like they are dialing a phone from the 1970s. (minute 2:35)

[ItalianLoco]

they're great

[Juliak35]

Such a cool song!

[planetmoonscape]

Angnetha was simply amazing! Where did all the years go?

[KathayW]

My dad says their original drummer just died like, 2 weeks ago. How sad.

[fotuton]

I'm surprised Agnetha let Bjorn dress like that while they were married. At least Benny was always more tame with the costumes.

[fatpizzaman]

Maybe they were trying to cash in on the glam rock fashions that were rife in the UK and Europe at the time.

[chirtyl]

Ya know, I like abba as much as the next person, but that guitar players outfit is so fay. Yah I know that this is the 70's and all but is that guy wearing eye makeup??

[madamecherie]

lol, he probably is wearing eye make-up.... for effect, music artists do usually wear make-up when they are performing in videos and on stage. You right about the outfits tho..... and those tight trousers....eeeuuuh!!!

[BaronVonHookhand]

Who are the other 2 guys

[ABBA1558]

slow and stedy wins the priz.

[escovodka]

ABBA...ABBAla

[elperromagico]

Now we know where Nigel Tufnel got his look from.

[MillionthUsername]

Yes, but Bjorn could only set his amp to 10. : )

[quietdepths]

Did we really think this look was cool in the 70's??? Scary!

[24126145]

Did you seen what was on the 2007 catwalk fashion parade in Paris.... Now that was scary!!

[chopstikz85]

HAHA. Actually you're right, Bjorn looks like a scary looking superhero transvestite. But nonetheless I LOVE ABBA! Their music = genious.

[DresdenFeuersturm]

FANATASTICO,EXCELENTE,MARAVILL­OSO...LOS ADORO!!!!!!!!...ring,ring,ring­...en mi corazon.

[NATTERZ345]

love it

[Domcall]

Who wouldn't??

[dermode]

Love it!

[pmay222]

wikid little outfit.. camel toe heaven...

[flodnak]

Look, up on the stage! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's.... SUPERBJÖRN!

[AngeloGravity]

Abba doing glam rock!

[babybear62]

No wonder Benny trying to look at Anna's bum.  She was voted as most sexy bum at the time. Now it is Kylie Minogue and J.Lo who is voted the sexiest bums.

[Mika60006]

I love it! Thanks.

[Rollergirl2001]

This version of the song is the 1974 remix with the saxaphones. The original version didn't have the saxs.

[alexcious]

Beaides, the original version is a little faster and it's played in A Major (this one is in G Sharp Major)

[elperromagico]

It's a different mix, slowed down and with a sax added. I think this version was released in the UK.

[doctorwhorox]

Love the outfits

[Tuneweaver2007]

This song was co-written by friend Neil Sedaka....

Neil Sedaka is a musical genius.

Fans have a petition on the internet, to get him inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

You find the petition on Google by searching with 'Sedaka petition'.
