ABBA - Dancing Queen - The Missing Verse / Lost Lyric

[NCTaikoDrumboy]

HA-HAA!! Well done, "Jarraknz!" And kudos to "Megadivine16" for the Wikipedia lead!

[Megadivine16]

OK checked the wikipedia page on dancing queen. The lyrics are there.

"Baby, baby, you're out of sight

hey, you're looking alright tonight

when you come to the party

listen to the guys

they've got the look in their eyes..."

Regards

[Jarraknz]

@Megadivine16 Yeah I was going to say exactly those words. As for Chiquitita, the words I've figured out are:

for the first verse: How it hurts to see you crying, how it hurts to see you sad

and the first chorus:

You and I we know how all the heartaches come and go but you'll be dancing once again and all the pain, we'll take away

and second chorus:

Even though you cry the sun is shining in the sky so let me hear you sing some more the way you used to do before

Cheers, Bryan

@Megadivine16 yes the lyrics are listed on wikipedia but it was never included in any version ever released.

[Megadivine16]

What are the lyrics? As far as I can hear it sounds like:

"Baby baby, you're (right on time / right outside)

Hey you're looking alright tonight

When (they / you) come to the party,

Listen you guys,

They've got the look in their eyes"

Please correct me with what you think are the lyrics.

Also can anyone post the background lyrics of Chiquitita (The ones in the first verse and two in the chorus?)

i seem to have a memory of music video where Agneta and anne frida was dressed as princeses or fairries (in a white and red suit) where they went around and with their wands...... can any other remember this or is it just be who have a false memory?

[Jarraknz]

I can think of the video where they perform Dancing Queen for the Swedish King and Queen, or Frida is in a some interesting outfits in the video for 'Head Over Heels'. Anyone else know?

good, good good job, really, i've seen another videos with the lost verse, but it was very bad added to video and song, but this is perfect, congratulations!!!!

[Jarraknz]

Thanks very much, it's appreciated! : ) I had a lot of fun rebuilding it.

[Bradelbee]

BRILLIANTLY DONE!!! Thank you!

[Jarraknz]

Thanks! :)

Look out for my "Dancing Queen Anomalies" video on YouTube! I talk about the point in the released song where you can hear that verse being edited out, and also some other edits in the mix!

[Joeluvsagnetha]

but this is AMAZING, good work, would love a full copy! I'd most definitely buy the CD!

[Jarraknz]

If they (Abba) ever release 'Just Like That' I'd be buying that as well! :)

[aaalchemy]

Oh, God YES!

[Watcher3223]

Or, if the audio element in the video is of good enough quality, you can simply dub it to an uncompressed audio file, burn it and listen to that version of the song until ABBA gets around to doing a proper release of the unabridged version on Compact Disc or, perhaps, a 12 inch 45 single (sans excessive dynamic range compression, of course).

[Jarraknz]

A 12" would be great, thought I wonder how many people still have turntables? I'd settle for a multi-format release, including vinyl of course!

[Watcher3223]

Well, I've got one.

[Jarraknz]

Oh me too, was thinking more along the lines that they (Abba) wouldn't release it on a format that was likely to yield less sales revenue than a more popular and current format - tech specifications aside.

[Joeluvsagnetha]

very good, great to see the girls in the studio, I would REALLY love a copy of the actual Dancing Queen backing track entitled "Boogaloo" (working title), I hope to find it some day, if a nybody knows of it, PLEASE email me!
