Abba - Summer Night City (Unreleased Full Length Version)

[CowboyBootedNJ]

I first heard this version of the song from Thank You For The Music Box Set, and wondered why Biorn and Benny cut the song down for the album. The intro they cut ties you into the song better. When I first heard the original off the GH2 album, I jumped because it crashed into the song and took time to enter into song from previous song. It shocked me for a few times after that point too. I like this one better.

[ThePROTO1TYPE]

I have always LOVED this great song from Abba. It didn't get the appreciation it deserved at the time of its release but it remains in my opinion one of heir very best.

[purapasion1]

beautiful blonde and I like his voice is the best

[Silligk]

this song was ahead of its time, if i didnt know abba and i heard this song i would say its like late 90's...

[jcruces1]

this is my favorite ABBA song, so funky and fresh!!! much love to ABBA from South Korea!!! Timeless!

[Deltamaster1965]

It WAS underrated,but it IS'NT ANYMORE ;)

[EXthesweetlamb]

I set this song as my ringtone and now all my friends go around humming 'summer nighty city'

[wrest101]

great video. Love the song. Abba is ready to party in Sumemr Night City. Hey new School pop preteners. Take notes from Abba. You'll learn something. I am ready to party with ABBA.

[wafrom]

Great song, you did a great job on editing this video, simply love it.. thanks for a sharing :)

[scrubinc]

@wafrom thanks. I'm so pleased with how it turned out. The video for Tiger was perfect!

[RedSimba88]

This is my favorite ABBA song! :) Love the intro at the beginning

[niagee]

my fav abba song . got such a beat!

[garethella]

well cool.

[Felicity1247]

I love this. It's so much better than the music video version because of the slow intro.

[trickykid73]

She can drive my car any time !!! .....so hot!

[trickykid73]

Frida is so hot .....shes smokin !!!

[MegaC400]

interesting :D

[billyboobtubeboy]

Well done on the editing! You'd think this was their official video!

[igormerlin44]

this version definitly the best

[MegaJaja97]

any one seen their live performance from 1981 of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its bloody good :D

[proto1type]

My 2nd favourite Abba song of all time - powerful! (BTW.my 1st. is "The Name Of The Game")

[Lee71England]

@proto1type For years and years I've been trying decide which Abba song is my favourite. And, with the options, I don't think I'll ever know for sure. But I have to say I'm leaning towards yours...

[artmarty88]

I can't believe ABBA didn't like this song.

[bourlivak88]

@artmarty88 not that they didn´t like the song itself, they just felt they could have made a lot better arrangement.. they felt it was a good song and they tried everything to get it sound right, but when they were on the deadline and simply had to release it, they still felt it didn´t sound as good as it could..

[artmarty88]

@bourlivak88 that's what I meant :) I think this sounds good enough....

[DaveEllis13]

Absolutely Brilliant!

[maltavmalta]

That intro is my favourite Abba ever. First heard it about '83 and thanks to Youtube, I can enjoy it again.

[VegieBoner]

undeniable awesomeness :) ABBA rock.

[insanityamplified]

I dig the hot rod! Awesome. I love Frida. She pulls off the late-seventies 'do rag well.

[zeus21ish]

this song always reminds me of warm summer nights full of a sense of excitement love it full of life

[MrDayday58]

I've been a DJ nearly 40 years and I'm always suprised that the song was recorded during the making of Voulez Vous, but not included in the LP. ABBA recorded the songs 1978/9 and took a lot of tracks as singles. Come to think that the song is now 32 years old, but still sounds as good as when I first played it all those years ago.

[MrDayday58]

Why wasn't this the single instead of the edit. The full length far better far radio play. Like the slow start and the length 4.30, better then 3.30 the edit. 1978, should have been on Voulez Vous.

[ABBAf0r3v3r]

I'm in love with the slow beginning ♥

[selatik1]

@ABBAf0r3v3r I'm in love with Agnetha Fältskog. I have been since 1976, when I was 13. ♥

My FAVOURITE ABBA song. Why is this not more widely played?

[adrien12001]

Encore une perle d'un groupe MYTHIQUE......

[spitoncat]

I can imagine people enjoying this a hundred years from now.

[MrJaquesbrel]

I Love_U FRIDA

[wilhub]

one of ABBA`s songs that really stands the test of time.

[stephanos99]

This song was also included in the Greatest Hits Vol 2 vinyl (which I own), though it was the standard version, not this extended version you posted here.

[selatik1]

:24 to :26 ... OMG, in the 80s, how I' dreamt of a chance meeting with Agnetha just like that, in the early morning, at a train station or other romantic spot, with not many people around. I was so in love with that woman ... funny how the ache is still there after all these years.

[newmark401]

One of their most underrated hits?

[scrubinc]

@newmark401 definitely. Some of my friends don't even know !

[someblokecalledchris]

@newmark401 i thick too sheer classic ... wish they would let it go again ....now in this day they don't know what music is .

[someblokecalledchris]

@newmark401 love this too

[artmarty88]

@newmark401 that's what I always thought

[SCHRUBBE1966]

This is considered thier favorite song and actuallt the best.

[Bagiricsi]

Hello! Can anyone send me lyrics to 15cbr@apaczai.elte.hu e-mail address?

Thanks: Ricsi

[miraeja]

perfect mix of musicality, harmony, melody, and a touch of sleaze!

[arn0ldaar0n]

European women look great even without makeup.I really like what you did!

[Silligk]

@arn0ldaar0n NOT ALL OF THEM

[mattanaih]

gotta luv Frida's gangsta look

[fotzenjonas]

wow,what a nice tune....abba beat makes me .....

awsome!!!!

[62julchen]

were´nt they fantasic? Pitty, there don´t seem th original videos about. Or maybe they are, but I´m new here

[aiammaiaaiam]

No seatbelts, no roll bar...makes me want to move to Stockholm/Oslo (bad geography) bet that's changed out of all recognition too

[selatik1]

Agnetha driving with the other ABBA members sitting in the car...COOL!

[crystalstar94]

this shud b the original xx

[LesCrapio]

Did they turn a truck into a cabrio??

[kso374]

@LesCrapio

I think it's a Chevy Blazer, which had a removable hardtop.

[UBLUDOK18]

Kenga*

[bobafettucini]

@UBLUDOK18 just looked that up for kicks and as I suspected, it's a crap cover version of someone else's genius. He can't even sing, the whole damn thing is auto-tuned. Mediocre at best.

[UBLUDOK18]

@bobafettucini he is my friend

[UBLUDOK18]

Roma Kegans Version better

[selatik1]

@UBLUDOK18, 30 years of advancement in music recording technology could not save Roma's cover version from being an utterly sterile, soulless shadow of this ABBA masterpiece.

[bobafettucini]

@UBLUDOK18

And exactly who is Roma Kegan? Exactly.

[pukimakanakharam]

why they broke up?..

[TsarObezyanka]

Has anyone else noticed that Annifrid stands or sits beside Bjorn alot in the clips? While Agnetha is beside Benny.

[selatik1]

@TsarObezyanka ...swingers?

[DanGaryTwins]

@TsarObezyanka I honestly think it's because both of their marriages were on the rocks by this point, and so they did this sort of "swap." It's also evident on their Dick Cavett show appearance in 1981.

[proto1type]

One of ABBA's greatest compositions, criminally underrated - even by B & B themselves - retrospectively showing what a powerhouse of a song it actually is. This is No.3 in "my all-time favourite" ten ABBA songs.

[Wobbletron]

I just love what Bjorn sings in the fadeout! LMAO

[ShoeiBoy]

Frida = Goddess

[waratjess]

Great song, great artists, love Frida!

[BenAdams1983]

Should have been in a Volvo or a Saab not a Ford Bronco!!

[faeembrugh]

Agnetha looks like a very safe driver, plenty of checking of mirror and looking behind her before changing lanes. Actually who cares about that she just looks bloody gorgeous!

[TsarObezyanka]

I read somewhere that she was a nervous driver and she didn't really like flying much. I could be wrong but that could be why she was a safe driver.

[PirateSkip4]

she likes to drive , but she hates flying and thats why they wouldn't tour very much , also when she went to promote the "wrap your arms" LP by bus it crashed, and she was thrown out through the glass window in the road smash !! fact.

[weezer316]

Agnetha is the sexiest woman ever, no question.......

[MarkPMus]

Aggie driving! Cool!

[vadess40]

great tune. 2 bad it was underrated.

[DJRATBOI]

i can sample this!

[2simontemplar]

really fantastic! The beginning fits perfectly with the train sequence

[icyclaw123]

awesome! =D

[MagicHills]

i love this song

this is cool song by ABBA

ABBA did much good music

this is one of the good songs

love the sound of song :)

[roydoncrossing]

Excellent!

[redneckswed]

This is awesome my friend.

Chris

[SverigeNorgeDanmark]

thank you for this extended vid

[markovican]

Ye, indeed great tune, the funny thing is that I had heard Therions remake of it first so now 6 years late I discovered its ABBA song, hehe but being a metal fan myself I must say that Theriosn version is better for me, but this sounds great as well

[tusenpussar1981]

jag älskar ABBA!

[parma71]

Just Great!! Love the full version,cool video

[TsarObezyanka]

I just want to say that you did a fantastic job editing, "Summer night city" "Tiger" "When All is said and done" and "Before you came" into this one great clip :D Five stars.

[scrubinc]

Thanks. I am really pleased how this came out.

[SverigeNorgeDanmark]

Great and thanks

[dantinho4848]

bom

[MillionthUsername]

Nice work on the video! It all fits together nicely. And it's great to hear the intro.

[AmbientDreamer]

So much better with the intro. I love it!
