ABBA - Tropical Loveland (Best Of ABBA - Australia) 1976

[JimColyer]

ABBA's Garden of Eden: rainbow, moon, bluebirds, sky, grass, trees, song and love. An ode to nature.

[Buffalo1NY]

sounds very modern

[theskeptic2010]

Thanks for this video - I've always liked Frida. She looks and sounds great in this video

[wafrom]

Frida is so cute, love the performance, thanks for sharing.. :)

[filuwies]

wow, Fridas voice! beautifull!!

[inyour0face]

Her beauty goes beyond her face and body. she's adorable and that voice. <3

[slovanprofessor]

I love her voice but I do not like that cat on her dress. She looks best in swedish and norwegian folk costume.

[setenteromusic]

My favourite of ABBA.

[chimetrooper]

I will always love ABBA. Real , beautiful music. Thanks for all the great memories of gentler more simple times.

[TheNonsensicality]

I grew up listening to ABBA, when this song came out I was 7 years old. I was sad when they split up, but their amazing music is timeless and will live on forever.

[BeachxFlower]

Beautiful face and voice. Frida. <3

[LadyTwentySeven]

Reggae from Sweden! Wow I love Abba.

[viciousv422]

I love you Frida. Forever. Thank you.

[firetrans9]

This is a great song. Wow Benny is so SEXY and HOT he's just the kind of guy you would want to keep him forever.

[SurfNSunFun]

she's soo sweet and beautiful! :))

[RainOrShineFun]

That face, that voice. <3

[lonelymanification]

this is fantastic, luv this song, hav not heard it for years. from tropical port douglas.

[JBofBrisbane]

As I recall, this was the show that they were flown out specially for. They didn't tour, they didn't make any other public appearances, they just did this show for Channel 9 and flew back to Sweden. One of the few things for which I am grateful to Kerry Packer.

[CatMurdererS]

One of the songs where Frida´s voice comes into its own. Thanks for posting!

[pulloutthepin]

Frida always has an incredible air of something very serene and yet mysterious about her, reminds of my image of arcadian goddesses... and what a terrific voice! It's so deep and silky, and always in perfect pitch.

[brucie2brussian]

im not aussie but its a damn good song :)

[Kaffyboy]

Abba had such an amazing relationship with my country Australia! So proud!!

[J77147]

LOVE  ABBA, 10**********

[J77147]

@Kaffyboy , I know i'm Australian too.

[Kaffyboy]

@J77147 Yeah, being an Aussie is the best, isn't it?! ;-)

[J77147]

I feel the same way, xxx

[Kaffyboy]

@J77147 I like you! xxx

[J77147]

@Kaffyboy , I Like you too, GO ABBA

[sueciapr]

@pokemonmariofan98 I hope you like it. Abba is a way of life. There are times when you cry with "The winner takes it all" and times when you are full of joy like in the "Dancing Queen" Abba is just moments that we live that Benny and Bjorn had the time to write them down. :)

[sueciapr]

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, its aways the money, It was a SUMMER NIGHT in CITY, when I SAW IT IN THE MIRROR, there she was, the DANCING QUEEN, I got close to her and said; LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME, she was like a TIGER, I was like an EAGLE, I said lets go over HAPPY HAWAII; she agree and saids ANDANTE ANDANTE then we walked out to our TROPICAL LOVELAND.

[renaresh]

Awesome awesome awesome frida!!!!!!!!! and that line sung by agnetha at the end blows my mind

[BrEeNdiuXxX]

hi, i'm from México and i love ABBA forever, nacho a.c.

[betterrecognize1985]

Frida had a gorgeous face and the sweetest eyes and smile. <3

[nadja5890]

[Vidcar1]

Frida looks so dreamy in this one.

[SuperAlexandra15]

[billjoe39]

[zelaznodroznyj]

@nanarjain74 and watching:)

[moonflower0924]

How beautiful and sweet is Frida

specially when she turns to Benny at 2:13 and sings "i want to share it with you" and he draws a huge smile. too cute! ♥

[klauspv]

Oye, nunca habia escuchado ésta canción y está padre, a poco desde entónces ya existía el ritmo REGGAE ?

Wow! yo tenía 2 años en esa época.

[Bohrsti]

I loved that song so much when I was little! And I still do!

[iamanabba]

The best part of the song is 2.30 beautiful Agnetha x.

[peecee1384]

I was 10 in 1976 and sooooo in love with her. Still am :-)

[SuperAlexandra15]

mee 2 sooo in luv shes so hot n beautiful i wish i was as pretty as her shes the babe 100000000000000000000 times betta than agnetha xoxo frida luv yooh

[friidalOOver]

FriidaalOOveeer♥

ilyyy

[Eduranzoni]

Fantastic 2:04

[Eduranzoni]

Better than many others reggaes that there.

[oscrani]

A white woman with a black voice, a Swedish group making a perfect reggae. What wonderful and crazy thing.

[AxeGrrrl]

"And what of the spoken introduction by Frida? I could spend all day listening to that voice."

Ditto :)

[cajoly10]

Now Benny's on the accordeon! Woo! He's active! When he's on the piano he jumps around and now he's swaying from side to side! He seems to joyful ;)

[Meanmanmartin2007]

I'm a bit confused. I thought this song was the B-Side of Mama Mia

[lake40]

this was the b side to Fernando in australia

[Gilsondaprincesa]

her voice is more beautiful than a corner of a mermaid.

[LouizLL]

GO FRIDA !!!!

[setenteromusic]

in my opinion is one of the best ABBA songs

[nostromo7694563]

I didnt know they had bejewelers back then

[oaksyboy44]

Frida has a beautiful voice,so clear,so pure,the tone of her voice is heavenly.

[davivivendas]

Fridaaaa....

Você é linda cantando qualquer coisa...

a melhor de todos os tempos...

definitivamente

[lariXD]

Concordo :D

A voz dela é tão doce s2

[dorscco]

And what of the spoken introduction by Frida? I could spend all day listening to that voice.

[Swedebear]

I just don't understand all those who write that Agnetha had the good voice and Frida the bad. Frida has a very different range and more of a jazz voice (she started off as a jazz singer) but she definitely has a wonderful voice. How many of today's young artists can even hold a tune like she can?

[tamtran0208]

Germany entry to Eurovision 1987 (came 2nd place) had a style like this

[boobooandfussy59]

Frida is awsome!

[Glidinatt]

1976 ....and Bob,Elvis or ABBA still active.

Who was/is the fourth ace?

[stellstell]

go aussie :)

gotta love abba

[lariXD]

i loove this song!!

the first time i heard it i was on a boat meeting "the meet of the waters" in amazonas.

it was great hear this song

tropical loveland k3

[acosmicgirl]

Kitsch at its best.

[autopilotflight]

This is my second favourite song ever, good on Abba for all the memories , love them all.

[NattyDread91]

I was suprised when discovered on my CD (All ABBA's songs) this one...Wow :)) They are performing reggae, and it's really beautiful :)

[davidatcuwclubnet]

Abba should have made an album featuring tropical songs including this and `Happy Hawaii`. A HOLIDAY WITH ABBA SPIRIT.

[deSansac]

I agree, so strange that B&B choosed "Why did it have to be me" on the album, instead of the far much better "Happy Hawaii".

[Festfolket]

Great. I have never seen this before !! In the original Australian show I think this stage performance was not shown. The song was in the show but they showed ABBA boating, picnicking etc.

[aeonflux67]

They dedicated this song to Australia!! And I thought they liked us lol :(

[bourlivak3]

the song is called Tropical loveland and not Fuck Australia lol :D

[aeonflux67]

Yeah but Frida says its "dedicated to Australia at 0.05". I feel offended still. :)

[Davylp]

Which one just passed away?

[SeanieRockz]

nobody from abba passed away. bjorn just lost a LOT of weight.

[bestess]

I love this sonng, so simple. Luv ABBA

[theferritt1]

I wonder if Benny is laughing because he is playing his accordian in front of a microphone stand with no microphone on it! :-)

[AbbaChick]

haha you're right! that is funny!

[theferritt1]

And then like magic, another michrophone stand appears at 1:40 with lo and behold...a microphone!Ha ha ha !

[AbbaChick]

ha ha ha yeah never noticed that before!!!

[babybloc]

@theferritt1 That's her vocal mic-stand.  He's probably plugged in (assuming they're not syncing.)

[germanicelt]

I thought they wrote this song when they went to Australia. Anyone know why they dedicated it to Australia before they went.

[longbody01]

Maybe because Australiam audiences broke them into the mainstream after the Urovision Song Contest doomed them into obscurity.or maybe they were looking ahed to the Great Barrier Reef holiday?

[Plutoplatter]

A "new" gem from ABBA! Imagine...they combined an accordion and a reggae rythym into the same song...and made it all work beautifully together. This would have been impossible by any other band. Proof? Here it is: who else ever did?

[organfairy]

Tim Stahl plays accordion on Laid Back's worldwide hit "Sunshine Reggae" from 1983.

Sorry.

[Plutoplatter]

Okay, that's one.

[SailorBarsoom]

I had no idea this song even existed! I was looking for Tatsuro Yamashita's "Loveland, Island" (which I'm going to go listen to now), but I'm glad I found this. Lovely song.

[JohnTarbet71]

The first single I ever brought and still love it to this day FANTASIC!

[luvstarwars]

I have this single too. As I'm only 14, it was my mums record, but because I love ABBA, she gave it to me. I love it too!

ABBA are the best! :)

[geoffreyah]

At the end you can just hear Frida's voice being piped in & it's way off key because she's lip sinking, and she can't hear her own voice!-it's really true!!

[warminator]

One of abbas best songs. And the chorus in the end...Allways have this on your headphones at the beach!

[Wolli1960]

A song with Frida on lead vocal. Sounds good. Her voice has something special.

[adelheid3233]

Beautiful song, beautiful island, ABBA for ever!!!

[frida1965]

BEAUTIFUL!

[fridnetha]

my long lost girlfriends frida and agnetha

[impassable]

Beautiful Frida and the whole group. To steal a Mike Love line "we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow"

[fridnetha]

frida is so good

we met yesterday and kiss me in my cheeks

[angel585]

yeah, in your dreams right? :p

[fridnetha]

hehe!

[gbop63]

terrible song

[northoltd]

Both Frida and Agnetha are beautiful. Only someone very insecure in their beliefs would need to constantly slag of one girl to justify preferring the other. Oh and yes, this is not one of my favourite ABBA songs, but it was B side to the global hit Fernando. I forget which woman sang lead on that one. Must have been the lead singer i suppose

[whirlyfan]

anni frida sang fernando!

[dumbdoggie8]

frida is an angel

[65unlimited]

This video is from the 12th of March 1976!

[raychris10]

Oh dear! I see the Agnetha sweaty obsessed fans are still around...You know who you are!!!

[angel585]

yes, I wish they would just disappear, or their attitude at least.

[javieromarpaez]

frida te amo you are very fantastic , i love you forever and ever, javier.

[malibuses]

Wow Frida actually leads, oh yeah its a b side! an album track! that explains it.

[tigereagle84]

No mailbuses you're all wrong. But the fact that your mother shitted you out of her ass WOULD explain why you act the way you do =)

[angel585]

I melt at the sound of Frida's voice. Brings me to another world. This is a very soothing song.

[tigereagle84]

Isn't it? =)

[malibuses]

Wasnt she very nervous here with that introduction!

[tigereagle84]

Not as nervous as people in the streets get when they see your ugly face =D

[javimuscle]

I really love this song. Its very relaxing sound and melody, the sweet and embracing voice of Frida...love to be in a tropical loveland with her singing to me under a palm tree...

[emily72]

She was having trouble with the word cyclone being that English is not her natural language, singing in English is one thing, speaking it must have been harder.

Frida does that sexy, warm, sensual voice justice on this track.

[frida1965]

I love this song, and love Abba, always. Lovely, talented Frida..

[whirlyfan]

she also sings that song soooooo well frida great jazzy pop voice

[whirlyfan]

good sining from frida even though she looks nackard she did well me think it was time diffrence does thatlol

[whirlyfan]

singing*

[tigereagle84]

try changing your name to whirlyidiot -- trust me, it suits you better

[whirlyfan]

lol look i am rubbish speller so piss off !lol

[tigereagle84]

you first =)

[whirlyfan]

i did all over u lol

[tigereagle84]

trust me..you can't handle me

[tigereagle84]

no, you did in your mother's mouth

[novalis]

I don't like the song itself that much - but i LOVE Frida's jazzy performance.

[JohnBrowning]

WOW! Not only is Frida beautiful, but she sang like an angel in this one.ABBA rules---JB---USA

[neeth]

It was playback

[FreddyT8]

My god Frida made a terrible announcement there! Frida looks tired too!

[tigereagle84]

wow freddy, no need to be negative. we all know you're ugly on the inside and probably ugly on the outside, but try being positive, it might help overcome you're shitty personality

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Very nice!!

Everything ABBA did was good!!!

Frida did such a good job here, as did the rest of ABBA.

Thank you.

George Vreeland Hill

[DTrain77]

Benny has a great accordian part in this song.

[canuckfuck]

The 'flipside' of our new single! LOVE it! I wonder if kids today know what flipside means? LOL! Friday looks her best during this time up until the Voulez Vous album. x

[shuji13]

lol yea im 15 and i know wut a REAL single is! i listen to my grandpa's old 45s from the 70s. the flipside is like Side B or 2 of the record. i love ABBA!

[MorticiaTaylor]

I ove those cat costumes

[jradetzky]

Wow! Abba rules!

[pt99ai]
