ABBA "The Visitors" (Crackin' Up)

[Clemsonu88]

I never saw a video for this song back in the 80s and (until midway through) assumed this was actually the official video. Excellent!!

It may have already been posted, but I read that this was actually written with the Soviet Union in mind with how they would break in where Christians were meeting and drag them away. Benny or Bjorn took that idea and wrote this song. But they didn't want to be political back then, so they didn't make that known until much later.

I love this song.

If you think of Anne Frank as the narrator for this song, it gets pretty intense.

[BelfastBailey]

@Chronomorte I, too, always find this reminded me of a Hilteresque invasion and overtaking of a society and a group of people hiding out, knowing the end is near, and one by one they are all found, hidden deeper and deeper inside hidden rooms, walls and panels....yes...Anne Frank, definitely fits this song.

[Rita1972]

Rose Red - the house images are a nice addition to the song.

[JiGe96]

It sound slike nothing else they did but still awesome. Also, the pling sound in the beginning sounds like when you collect a coin in early mario games hahah.

[harpsicello]

fantastic video for this song! Thank you for making this. where do the clips come from? certain movie?

[raducha23]

a little dark, but beautiful ... like the music.

[quelium]

the key changes of this, one of abbas later tracks - is a precurser to the work that the boys would do on their musicals after abba disintegrated.

I say disintegrated, as although they have fallen from the charts and the screens, they are still in our ears, hearts and minds...
