Even this song hasn't been my favourite ever this live version really WORKS as good as a toilet of a train. One of a greatest live performance of ABBA I've seen. And it was great that ABBA published that early version of this, Happy Hawaii, as a B-side of a single Knowing Me, Knowing You.
Another proof that Frida was awesome!!! A great talent and beauty. Too sad she was so underappreciated in their heyday. No worries, Frida. You are the true queen now!!

From the movie i queued in the rain TWICE to see!!...Drove my parents mad with ABBA back then!! ....one more question-Who in this entire cosmos DOESN'T have at least 1 favourite ABBA song???
You can tell she is absolutely having a ball in this one, which is part of the reason I like it so much - I don't think I've seen anyone look quite as happy on stage
I remember our teenager discussions about our Frida/Agnetha preferences so well; I always prefered Frida and I always felt so lonely...(the only reason was long blond hair); so, 25 years later:, I still know: I was right: Frida is fantastic
I love this song and I love ABBA so much. I've seen their whloe ABBA Movie it's brilliant. I love Frida she is so pretty. I wish I could sing and look as stunning as Frida. ABBA rock. I am seeing ABBA the trbute band in ABBA Mania at Hull New Theature in July I can't wait I am also seeing Mamma Mia the musical in London at the Prince Of Wales Theature in April I can't wait to see that ether. I love you always and forever ABBA you rock esp Frida she is so amazing and so stunning. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hello @moonflower0924 , I agree with you. Frida was a true performer. She always seemed to enjoy being on stage more so than Agnetha. She always appears more relaxed and able to let herself go, interacting with the audience more than the others do. This is quite evident from her antics in this video. She even does a high kick and all! Go Frida Go!!
she is one seriously sexy lady,,I think I was in the minority at school when you had to pick the blonde or brunette out of Abba,,,, watching this,,,I now know I was right all along,,,,, great vid,,,thanxs
My favorite part of "ABBA: The Movie". Anni-Frid wearing that hat while swinging around the microphone stand makes her look like a crazy poker dealer!
FRIDA is a true star! What a singer and a real inspiration to so many of us. Oh, even though I am a girl, I must admit that Frida was drop-dead gorgeous, a hot lady. Only Frida could wear those short shorts. And I am not jealous. Frida makes me proud to be a woman! GO FRIDA!!!!
I love how visual of a performance ABBA gave. Their vocals were amazing and the visuals of it just made it look beautiful! Frida's dancing at the end was just so quirky and fun! :)
Just to say that FRIDA ROCKS!!! An amazing talent and beauty. Also at add that Frida did start her singing career a little rough, a lot of speed bumps. She ended up the BEST!!! I have been reading "The name of the game" by A. Oldham. That S.O.B was harsh on Frida but even he admitted that Frida became the best performer of them all. TRUE!!!!
where do you ppl get that from?....she was actually changing her outfit for the mini-musical section,she was up to perform first so she had to sit out this number
in many videos of Why did...?in youtube people talk about agnetha and say that she was taking a rest because she was pregntant. and what do u mean with "PPL"?
This nasty person imNOTanabba as I call her, has been getting on my damn nerve for a long time. I think she either hates Frida or wants attention. I think it's the latter, she's retarted. Her messages end up spammed negitive 7 all over youtube.
this vid is amazing. i get shivers like every time i see it/ it's from the movie yeah? she is just so amazing. one of the worlds greatest performers. you can totally see that being on stage is what she loves to do. AH AMAZING haha thanks for posting
To iamanabba, though Agnetha is a great talent, Frida was the one who urged the band to keep going, through the bad times, and the only one who actually succeeded as a solo performer outside of Sweden following their breakup. Frida also charted with Fernando, without ABBA prior to its English recording and lets not forget the smash hits where she sang lead, Knowing Me Knowing You. Frida most consistent and more confident. Agnetha raw talent. One without the other would never have been ABBA.
Well said. It took all 4 members of ABBA to make them great. Why some people must criticize anyone of them over another is just stupid. It's been 27 years since they "took a break", enjoy or move on.
Aggie was changing into her costume and wig for THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, the first song in THE GIRL WITH THE GOLDEN HAIR. When she sang it, Frida changed into her (identical) costume and wig.
Lyrics part 1 When you were lonely, you needed a man Someone to lean on, well I understand It's only natural But why did it have to be me? Nights can be empty, nights can be cold So you were looking for someone to hold That's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Lyrics part 2 Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me Men are toys in the game that you play When you get tired, you throw them away That's only natural But why did it have to be me? Falling in love with a woman like you Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do It's only natural But why did it have to be me?
Agnetha was pregnant during this tour so she couldn't do the whole set. I love this song anyway though, gives Frida the limelight for a change and she suits it!
one of their best songs, it brings me energy this song!!!!, benny anderson is so crazy happy , just how he moves his haid. they are so excited here, enjoying too much the song as me listening it now.
Can you believe they turned down a billion $ for a brief reunion tour??? Yes...billion with a "B"!!! I always loved this song but why did it not get the airplay their other singles did? I've been a pro DJ for 20 years and never came across this song anywhere!
Where is Agnetha?
I miss her!!!!
