Yes. Abba did tour the US only once. They have a tribute group going around like the Beatles have Rain. Both were here where I live. I wish I could have gone to either one. Anyway, I love this song and it's one of the main reasons I bought their gold greatest hits recently.
Just to set the record straight. ABBA only toured the U.S. once. They were such a big hit the Europe it was bigger then the Beatles. In Australia it was if they were a cult I mean No Artist ever came close to there Fame there.
Years later the play mom mom MIA was built around ABBA songs and was one of the longest running plays of its time.
Not unlike the Beatles ABBA has that Unique sound thats never been duplicated
Fact at the time two biggest corps. in Sweden Volvo and ABBA..
ABBA will always be better than poxy Rihanna!! @Halo101st my thoughts exactly although you're bound to get called something nasty by the morons for posting a comment like that...I get it all the time but I don't care....who cares about stupid nerds anyways??
Personally, I have no clue who this Rihanna is. I am from the ABBA era of 30 years ago and remember all their songs as they came out. My only point of contention is when I see ABBA bad-mouthed by those too young to know what they are saying and who have no idea what they are talking about.
Only the childish and the uneducated have to use foul language to make their point because their vocabulary is so weak. It also shows extreme immaturity, don't you think?
I think exactly the same...I hate the use of bad language although I use it myself when I am angry or provoked by certain silly people! As for Rihanna I am fairly young so I have heard of her but I don't like her at all she is talentless. Ignore the swearing they are just ill-educated individuals.....
To mention Rihanna next to ABBA seems a bit ridiculous. Rihanna is a sexy girl who sells noise to shallow people. ABBA is a phenomenon of the 70s that created timeless music that will be played long after Rihanna and the likes of her are out of fashion.
The children making comments here all show their naiveté and pathetic lack of musical knowledge. Then again, look at the rap-crap and general nonsense, I won't say music, they have to claim as their as a generation. They are all so dumbed-down I am surprised they can even finish a sentence. ABBA is so far above their comprehension...
loved em since this song came out.Still after all these years they are my fav.Hope they get the respect they deserve as they are 2010 nominees to the rock and roll hall of fame.Long live ABBA
abba super but if some one can understand german go to you tube and try the song spiegel der zeit a jung boy 17 yesterday and the words are realy good love you all thanks
They are very popular in Japan because lots of their songs are used in TV commercial and others. I do not know exactly why, but many Japanese may have a kind of good feeling with their songs. Me too.
I agree with you, one of the top 5 bands of all time, for sure. And you're right, we will never see a band this great again, in my humble opinion. But here's hoping...:o)
I grew up in 1970s when it was not cool to admit that you like ABBA. I liked Alice Cooper, The Eagles, The Doobie Brothers, Deep Purple, etc. And Abba....but I was a closet fan :) Criticize them for being too POP, but you have to admit their tunes were catchy, fun to listen to, easy to sing along and dammit if you didn't feel good listening to one of their songs, then you were either dead or heavily sedated.
Here is a typical Brit. Cannot go one sentence without saying the word "fuck," cannot construct a legible sentence, is jealous of the United States, and generally, has no idea of what he is talking about.
Great job, British educational system, you have produced another moron!
wow you just like generalizing everyone, also on another point, I have heard abba bad mouthed by older and younger, have ypung people offended you somehow?
I love them and I really love this song, but the vids are sooooo bad! Aw. :-) I have a video compilation, I've watched it once and can't look at it again! They sound great though, and I will never get tired of this song.
This was one of the first Abba singles I bought. Bunked off school, went with my best friend into town to the record shop. Then we went back to her house and danced abot the Living Room. FAB. lol
Often times, a picture can say a "thousand words." But in 1975, one picture happened to say it all, on ABBA's self-entitled album cover that featured the hit song, "SOS." Bjorn, Agnetha, Anni Frid, and Benny, were seen inside a Rose Royce sipping what looked to be a fine wine or champaign with many on'looking jovial fans in the background. And on the backside of the historical album cover, the four Swedes were seen inside an exquisite Hotel lobby at the front desk check in...
...ABBA was young, innocent, motivated, and in complete control of perhaps what turned out to be the world's greatest Pop Music Destiny And Dynasty of all time!
The best ABBA's song! Quite funny 70's look (especially guys) :D All of today's crappy ''pop'' celeb's should learn-how to write good lyrics. Lazy bastard's(gaga, rihanna, spears etc.)
