Abba - Gimme Gimme A Man

[WataniQW]

★★★★★

[antoniob35]

yes

[DINGOBOY71]

it sure is.

[musicaldude92]

actually it is from a Madonna song but the ABBA guys wrote it and she asked their permission to use the piano bit with her song. Cause the accompanyment in this song rocks

[HunnyABee]

rubyena, yes they are saying "Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight"

and NO, if it is the "piano thingy" for a song of Madonna, she most likely took it from ABBA since she was a kid when ABBA was performing.

Welcome, if this helps! :)

[serreosoo8]

Yes Madonna took the music and altered the lyrics (she had enough men up to today! and don't have to pray for more just pay lol).

And I'm certain she was already an adult when the ABBA were still performing!!

[2jas4]

the first time i saw this video it awsome

[MontenegroHacker]

[midkelxp]

2:41 HAHAH!

[midkelxp]

SHES SO HAWT!!!!!

[TheGoldenSphinx]

They're all really well schooled musicians, all four of them. That's why they could turn this kind of nonsenes into clever little tunes. Just listen to the violins on the backing track and you'll hear elements of Swedish folk music.

[MauriceFlower]

Yes, I agree with you.

And that is not ONLY because I am Swedish! :-)

[TheGoldenSphinx]

Jaha, men det kunde ju ha sagt på en gång! ;)

[GoGreen3333]

benny and Bjorn made the soong!

[Poochie1337]

The little guy who's a member could easily be a star wars actor. :/

[biglebowskibig]

best song

[bigbrother08]

yeah madonna copied abba obviously :)

[Hofstragurl2012]

Does any one notice that the beginning sounds like Madonna's "Hung Up"

[bearhunt123]

Are you kidding???

Will someone please explain it? Thanks.

:-)

[miahchua]

yeah...madonna used the beat from this song for hung up...

[Jamgirlkay84]

Its the other way around. Madonna used their beat.

[pokerking1994]

nice song

[concept09girl]

this is the best abba song, i love it

[fredrikforslund74]

Svensk dynamit

[Kaabi]

Now that is one funky bass line we got here.

[5789vampire]

is the best song on disco from this group i remember this one in the discos around 70's and 80's fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[sabbathmeister]

Does anybody know what DVD this video is from? I would like to know so I can go buy one. Any help would be appreciated. :)

[worldfamouskid]

its not from a movie

[sabbathmeister]

worldfamouskid- I found that the ABBA "Gold" and the ABBA "Number Ones" DVD's have this video on it. Also the ABBA "Definitive Collection" has it. I bought all 3 of them a couple weeks ago and it's so cool they did so many promotional videos. Thanks for your help. :)

[spongey87]

why does it sound like the beginning of Hung Up by Madonna? did she copy the tune from the original?

[AgentUnderMulta]

Well... Yeah? It's copied directly from this one.

[Redivivus]

well actually, madonna got permission from ABBA to use it, just to clarify

[IRoXXI]

It's rlly good, but I have to say that I don't like it that they didn't sing in Swedish(I think they've never sung in Swedish)

[nothingbetter2du]

Actually, most of their singles were sung in Swedish. It's kinda hard to go universal if you don't sing in English. They even sang in Spanish too.

[babykiller111]

One of the best songs ever!

[cheeserules83]

best groups of all time, abba, steps, s club 7 and same difference

[larson1988]

I love it! :D:D:D:D:D:D

[westlife56]

when i first heard this i was like isnt it madonna? but i like this! its cool! :D

[BlaisForr62726]

Yeah when they played this on Stricly Come Dancing my mum said "Maddona!" but I said "Narr, its Gimme; Gimme; Gimme init??"

Yahh all right Maddona copyed Abba!

[freegirl73]

cool, thaz how i found this song! from strictly come dancin, when kelly n brenden (i dont no how 2 spell his name) danced 2 this song! ^_^

[yudasgoat2000]

If you're talking about who I think you're talking about it'd have been Brendan Cole, who is one of the judges on our NZ version of that format, Dancing with the Stars.

[sexypromiscuousgal]

That's where I first noticed this song and I loved it. Kelly and Brendan's tango to this was amazing

[hashimoto33217]

agree wif IRoXXI and aristogigolo madonna sucks! she is a copycat!

[hashimoto33217]

hey...its madonna copy ABBA's song!!!!!!! wtf...

[IRoXXI]

One of my favorite Abba songs! It's just great!

@aristogigolo: You're damn right, this song is thousand times better than madonna's(=wife of Satan) cover!

[aristogigolo]

Madonna, Queen of bitches, thief of the talent from the others

[123ertr]

GREAT SONG , NO IF OR BUT .

[ivanempire]

[shirleygibson]

It's even The Musical Youth Band charted You

See My Friend After The Storm in the early

1980s.

[ThomasLeuthe]

Yo ma yo wa wilschen do zu saga.

[sierra45654]

I love this song!! i always sing along to it!!

[opellek]

ABBA RLZ !

[motownblood1986]

this one is 1000 times better than madonna's Hung Up!!

[panzermatt]

madonna is a slag. i hate her. with reason.

[AB5309]

why do you have madge

[panzermatt]

where do i start? her music is cat. she is a tramp. she "buys" a little black kid in a hail of publicity to "give him a better life" fucking hell! where does she get off? ahhh shes as bad as bono! if you care that much, give some of your millions to them.

[AB5309]

well put it this way i wish i had millions to give her to help more african children who lets face it dont have much in life. do does that answer your question.

[panzermatt]

maybe you really care she doesnt. if she did she would have left the child with his natural father and donated money to the village foe education etc. she is a plastic carer.

[fredberet]

The bass guy looks like Pavel Nedved

[DomestosUK]

lol u tit :) - Thats Björn Ulvaeus

[marleyfamilyadmirer]

Abba is a very interesting and innovative group that still inspirers people even today.

[shirleygibson]

Even the 1986 hit by the Scorpian Kings with

their song,"Cera A Dream For More".

[JustJules]

this is so occult. no wonder madonna "kaballah bitch" worships this shit.

[Roxfly]

I have been wondering about the "occult" vibe in ABBAS music, I really want to understand WHAT it is...It is THERE, nobody talks about it, because people get hung up on their White Straight Clean Disco Appearance, BUT...the hidden occult vibe has made them one of the biggest pop groups in the world, maybe them being 4 singers, 2 male and 2 female creates a secret divine harmony...SOMETHING!

[sloeber]

haven't investigated it yet but it may just be the NAME coupled with the mindless distraction pop. I'm guessing the reason one of the girls doesn't do interviews is cause she's bad at keeping up appearances

[schizobrain]

Another awesome song by my fave group of all time

[cljamy]

lol, madonna cant come up w/ her own beats

[17secret]

ABBA ARE GREAT

[cocobossmath]

génial!

[paulhockin]

KAAAAAAMMMMPPPPP!!!!! Love It!

[Psykemeyster]

the song is great even if it is prety old..............that bitch madonna tried to steal the synthesiser part of the song but her song SUCKS :D

[Pudlis16]

This is from the 70's! not the 80's!

[openandskeptic]

Madonna stole the synthesiser part of this song put it in one of her newer songs.

[psycat3]

oh i love this song rock on

[operation10]

[enzedbrit]

It's actually from 1979, not 80s

[rtvtrvbtrbrtdbrtrtb]

[Musmon]

Wow now I see the song "Hung up" by Madonna was taken from this song, that's why Swedish people loved to listen to "Hung up"....

[fueldrive]

[MartinezPaisa]

Tell me why it sounds scottish? no wait...irish

[ewalinda]

Jag alskar ABBA:)Frida is still great:)Especialy in Jon Lord's project:)

[7595768]

i love u abba!!!

abba rocks!

[sweetbabeh]

this is my favie song

[rellman]

sehr gut!

[jaskiran123]

this is my fav song of theirs

[steventhestudent]

I like seeing the group dressed casually. Kind of relaxing

[geoffmthomas]

This song was initially entitled "Been & Gone & Done it". Although a worldwide hit of it Bjorn says "The recording somehow doesn't do the song justice - it's not at all what it could have been."

[dinope4o]

when i was 17 it was hit.i still love ABBA and their music.long live to them and their songs.regards from Bulgaria to all abba's fans

[amam511]

When I was a kid, it was a hit, and even after all that years they are still the best.

Thank you for the music ABBA

Amir (Israel)

[bluestartiger]

very nice!!!

[daveheel]

Cool. Madonna sampled this song for "Hung Up."

[kirkenbunken]

This is a very sexy song for Abba. It is very sweaty and horny. It has a musklike fish odor to it and is very hot.

[lukeloseth]

HAHAHAHAHA WTF!!

[kidel]

your rite kirkenbunken..somehow i felt the same way too..hahah

[bibudusnov]

such a beautiful song!

[leunamme2006]

La belle rousse est une princesse et la musique est bonne.

[honda1386]

That intro makes me think of riding off into the Swedish night with purpose, like a viking song or something.

[DjVatsapallo]

The best abba sound.

[bananamusician]

Man what's up with this crap all the time rating singers after their vocal range? It doesn't matter how big it is, what you do with it is what matters. I can certainly tell both Frida and Agnetha really did a great job with this, they didn't out do eachother and worked as a team. This is something really hard for all the egoistical singers out there, so lots of praise for them.

[andasulia]

m encantan y tengo solo 19 años!

[jookes1230]

nice

[siropik]

Wonderful!

[andreasgrits]

Amazing tunez! Fantastic women! A random fan of Scandinavian women from Greece!

[poeseloetje]

Frida is the best. <333

[angel585]

Yes, I hate how people make it out like Frida always envied Agnetha and was worth less than Agnetha. wth, I love Frida's physical beauty and her unique voice!!

[emily72]

Yet Agnetha's two favourite Abba songs are The Winner Takes It Also and Our Last Summer. The latter Frida was the lead in big way and it was a beautiful and it turned out, rather truthful, sad song for her. They were competitive but they supported each other, they could not produce those harmonies if they disliked each other. Frida had a fab voice too, they all knew it but Agnetha had a higher range.

[angel585]

I agree :) Agnetha had a higher range and Frida had a lower range. They complimented each other well in every single way.

[emily72]

I get irritated with the way fans claim one is better than the others, when these are two beautiful women with voices, that they learnt to blend and work together. They have always been grown ups. They were sexy, raunchy, sang about sex and performed with less clothes than Madonna ever has.

They are both strong, with real womanly bodies, they never took drugs or went out of control, they never back bitted or sold their stories or were bitter about the men they both loved deeply and lost.

[FlyingMayo777]

i dont see why frida envys her fridas pretty hot too

[Ringo142]

brilliant XD xx

[jokabogojevic]

I LOVE THIS SOOOONG !!!

[malibuses]

Agnetha leads again, Frida looks on as she said herself she envied Agnetha, Agnetha was Abba.

[Damamirlo]

Agnetha was Abba? I think the songs composed by the two guys had something to do about it :) Agnetha was probably the most preferred singer of the two, but I don't think she would have made it on her own. The guys composed, the girls sang, and Agnetha was given more camera because younger blondes sell more. She is very talented and beautiful, but she's not the band. We haven't heard much from her since the band split, have we?

[ElleMao]

Frida!!!

[BubblePrincesss]

Yeah!! <3 This is one of my fAvourite song from aBBa

[LampLightBridge]

ROCKS!!!

[nibargerswife51482]

she doesn't have the head phones one all the way,I guess she didn't wanna mess up her hair.

[jokabogojevic]

u r wrong, she HAD the head phones all the way. bye

[nibargerswife51482]

i was just saying it as a joke.

[jokabogojevic]

oh, ok. :)

[EAB82]

Please Madonna didnt steal anything... she sampled (with permission) the hook of this song for Hung Up. If anything Madonna made it better and made it into a dance world wide hit

[edianaphillips]

If it is not stealing then what is it ?

The best one can do is to create something original or don't it ! By the way it was already a world wide hit.

[EAB82]

I just said what it was.. its called a sample which ABBA allowed Madonna. Madonna isnt the person you should be targeting for sampling, she close to never does it. Hung Up eclipsed Gimme Gimme Gimme by far... but both are great songs

[edianaphillips]

AGREED

[laiosto]

you must be tone deaf.Everytime I hear sampled shit I want to vomit.All Madonna did was use a well known hit' tacked her junk on the end and made the grossest video ever.She looks like Mick Jagger in drag

[EAB82]

and look what happened it went on to be the best selling dance single of all time and reached #1 in more countries then any other song

[badboyforeva]

in a great credit to the sample i must say...

[EAB82]

thats exactly what I am trying to say... Madonna def paid an homage to ABBA with a great dance song

[Kakkakapulat]

Yeah Mick Jagger!

[chickwith2eyes]

one of my  faves by abba.
