  • happy birthday frida for 4 days ago forgot this video xoxo i uv yooh frida

  • Talk about a stroll down 'memory lane!' I haven't heard this in many years!! To my surprise, here is the video, too. WOW!

  • Original:

    Svenne & Lotta - Bang-en-boomerang

    (svensk melodifestival 1975)

  • Konecne si to můžu poslechnout na You Tube-dík moc!!!!!!

  • All the four ABBA-members are sooo beautiful in this videoclip, and this song is really lovely, I just love love love this videoclip!! :) :)

    ABBA4ever!! :) :)

  • The bassline is killer! that´s what gives this song great roll and a little rocky feel..

  • justanickythang, you are a genius!!!!!! Thank you for posting one of my favorite ABBA songs, Benny and the Hipsters had a hit with a swedish version of this song prior!

  • give and take-the disenfranchized have a hard time showing their love to the rest-if you can't cary a thang you can't have it-right? so cary it yall! peace!

  • We get love because we give it. The lyrics are reminiscent of the Elvis songs, Surrender and Return To Sender. ABBA followed Elvis and The Beatles. Whereas The Beatles failed in bringing their wives into the group, ABBA succeeded. ABBA was the Swedish Fab Four.

  • didnt fail, Yoko wanted to join but coulndt get her foot in and i seriosly think her singing would have been inferior to the guys

  • This song was actually released as a single on April 21st 1975, but only in certain territories. It had only moderate success and peaked at No. 59 on the French charts. The video was shot by Lasse Holstrom but I am afraid I don't know the location of the shoot.

  • does anyone know where this was filmed

  • It was filmed in Sweden.

  • An upbeat catchy song with a wonderful positive message :-) Love it!

  • Cute song and a great shot of Agnetha's behind at the very end!! :) Wow, she had such an amazing a**!!!

  • she is a beautiful woman

  • I love ABBA too much.

    I feel so sorry they've broken up.

  • I also love ABBA too much. In my heart they are not broken up. I will go to Heaven to hear their music

  • Agnetha (the blonde) looks like Carolina Dieckman, a popular brazilian actress.

  • ABBA forever

    què musica y què recuerdos.

  • bang bang!

  • ABBA's bounciest song!!! Even more than TACOM!!

  • Even though this was never released as a sigle, it's a classic, all the same.

  • i <3 ABBA! i don't care if i'm too young!!! I LVE THEM!!!!

  • never be afraid to love abba. they are the very best group in the whole world

  • THIS IS A VERY EXCELLENT SONG !!!

  • I cannot believe this isn't on the greatest

    hits album i have of theirs , it's one've the

    most memorable. Probably just threw it

    together in a couple of days on an Oz tour

    and ... bang ... aboomaboomerang ... !!

  • i like sos

  • Eu simplesmente Adooooooooooooooooooro esta música!!!!!!

    lolol..

    tooo cute!!!!

    HOW can you watch this and NOT smile....??

    cute!! --thanks for sharing!!! :)

  • so true!!!!

  • When I was 10, our teacher told us to bring our favorite artist and their absolute #1 hit with us for the next day....I brought my Abba L.P. with me and told him to play this song....at first he would'n because he said it has never been a hitsong.....'I don't care...I love it and to me it is a hitsong" i said...so he played it anyway....LOL...so thanx for posting my absolute favorite Abba song!!!!!

  • Yeah, "the yellow submarine" is an excellent sleepremedy or anything from Coldplay makes me suicidal. No I will stick with the upbeat, happy, emotionally charged perfect Abba songs. No, I am not gay or an old spinster.

  • Do the little bang biff boom are added by somebody else or was it really like this in their original video? I agree that it's a cute song :)

  • agnetha and frida should stick with each other- they could be different but i think it could be good for them to be friends....both are unique in their own spacial way.........

  • cute song

  • Loved this song when I was little, still love it now.

  • This was the first song I ever heard by ABBA, It's excellent.

  • Comment removed

  • such a beautiful song =P

  • I stil love it and they seemed to be so happy

    together at this early years.<3<3<3

  • Abba is the best Gruop EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The have so beatiful voices and they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo GREAT!!

    They live for EVER in our Hearts!

  • Such a happy Abba song. ABBA FOUREVER.

    I must get an IPOD just for ABBA.

  • love is a tune you hummy hum hum....

  • Bongo, I do believe you're right!!

  • Who is the one looking for trouble and found it? I've obviously missed something..

  • Me  I think Mundie, jgdesign has anger management issues and forgot to take his medication!

  • I know I've had words with you before, but you are so right on this one. I myself couldn't have said it better.

  • Love this song! :)

    btw... doesn't this song mean you treat others as you wanna be treated? (hence, boomerang?)

  • Come on Bongo, I will admit it. ABBA didn't really break America, however, you said "you Europeans aren't the brightest". Now you say the Europeans are bright.  Why are you contradicting yourself?

  • Thats a Great Song from Abba !

  • I havent heard this song in like 15 years! oh tis is sooo nice.......thank u!

  • Way to go abbaonly!! I bet Bongo doesn't know what to think now that he is proven wrong!

  • Also Bang a boomerang is sort of racist in itself...Bang (hit) a Boomerang (term for a black person in Wales) coz they keep coming back off the boats..... racist abba! bah!

  • Bah! Humbug!

  • I'm going to jump in here and let bongobeef know that if you watched ABBA The Movie, you will see an African man playing the drums and tambourine. He was an additional drummer with ABBA's concert drummer. Watch the movie!

  • Everyone has a right to their own opinion whether anyone else likes that or not. Just by liking ABBA doesn't make anyone gay. As for bongo, I would like to know who told you you could play God and decide what was right and wrong. Like you, we have the right to defend ourselves too.  It doesn't make it wrong because you can't handle it.

  • ABBA RULES!

  • Bongo, you are the most self-centered egotistical bastard I have ever heard with your comments. If ABBA bothers you, then why keep coming back? You must try looking at yourself, there's a reason you continue to come back here. Face it, you like Abba, you just don't want people to know it. GROW UP!!!

  • Your not the brightest people you Europeans are you? I keep coming back coz of your comments in my emails and I have every right to defend myself against the majority of Abba fans , Gay men or Unmarried Spinsters...People who dont really count!

  • Sorry you talk about Europeans not being bright... I think you mean "You're not the brightest".. = you fail.

    On another note, you talk about racism and therefore equality, yet you talk degradingly about Abba, their fans and Europeans. Perhaps you are the uneducated, ignorant and prejudiced bastard you claim everyone else to be. Grow up and get a life.

  • I think Sgt your taking my comments a little to seriously, and by that remark, I really do think you have just made the most stupid of remarks to my comments, which are really tongue in cheek and designed to wind up people exactly like you. Trying to sound articulate, it must have taken you two hours to type the comment, your a do gooder!

  • See again, you should be saying "you're" in both instances above, and a little "too" seriously. And no, for your information it didn't take me two hours to type that comment, and nor did it this one. Some people just know how to type and spell, and use simple grammar before they go and comment on other peoples mistakes.

  • Some people are also extremely boring. You fall into that catergory. Your probably thinking your superior to everyone else, but you probably work at Lidl's, have spots, and no friends coz you bore everyone away, and your also a council estate snob, hows that for a contradiction.

  • my favourite abba song!!!

    uploaded on my 20th birthday too!

  • This was a single in France in 75, with SOS as the B side. Love this no end.

  • Am i stupid or somthing, ive never been able to make sense of this song. How do you bang a boomerang, this song came out before they toured Australia. Or where they just toying with Aussies. Im sure they would have played this number on stage here.

  • It means when you send it out it always comes back.

  • Yeah just like bongobeef.

    ABBA rock..

  • A positive song with a great tune.

  • You know...

    This may very well be the best song they ever brought out. I get shivers every time I hear the "So give it away, I think you'll learn you'll get love in return".

  • You are absolutely right. A little tear roles down my face watching this ...and hearing it again. Getting old, I am!

  • i love Agnetha !

  • I love this song and video clip.

  • Led Zeppelin recorded their last album In Through the outdoor In Abbas Polar Studio...

  • Well here's my claim to "good" music?A group that after about thirty year's! That can

    have three! i repeat three albums in the top 100 uk album chart's !And sorry i am not being self opinunated here!!Unlike some?!? Its the statistics that on the 29/9/08 i repeat 29/9/08 that made this comment true!The reality of this chapter has only one ending? ABBA ARE THE TRUE WINNER'S THAT TAKE IT ALL.

    If your one that cant accept the truth? Sorry your just going to have to read and weep

    "i rest my case"

  • Another great song from Abba.

  • It has been proved that men who like ABBA have bigger dicks than those who do not.

  • It's always the same with people like you. You say much but don't say what is "good" music. You merely jump on that bandwaggon on the road to miserytown. Come on then Yummy, tell the world what gets your clubfoot tapping....!!

  • Still waiting to hear what you claim is "good" music sonny...

  • That's too much like hard work fella. You can just tell me one day.

  • Mickey if I was to say Coldplay were better than Abba, thats like saying Baked Beans is better than Spaghetti, different strokes for different folks..I promise I am not anti abba, just not a fan, and a lot of the comments I make are very tongue in cheek! Like with Sugar Pumper above!

  • bongo,

    Why the world are you even here watching a group you obviously dislike and listening to pop music you think is inferior? Either you're a liar or a dumbass! LOL

  • I understand what you are going through Bongo. I love ABBA but these fans have been posessive & attacking me for the smallest reasons!!

  • Stand your ground Borgduck , against these Abba Jerkoffs, all they produce is pussy talk, and anyway Abba were racists, they had no black members in the band, disgrace!

  • What the hell does having black people in a band have to do with music?  Besides, isn't the terminlogy actually African-American? Back to not being so bright.

  • LOL! cheers, I feel like Jerimaih Johnson when the Crow Indians kept attacking him one by one.

  • well, then why are u watching this vid more than once every day? I just don't get ppl like u, my God u ppl and your fascination of being anoying to everybody else...if u think that ABBA is over rated that's your problem, but u have to prove the rest of the world wrong, but whatever I guess u r going to keep going as long as someone puts any attention in your comments but once again who cares? even that u disagree ABBA is still the best group in pop history...

  • hahahaha what are u like 5? whatever keep being stupid that's no my problem...and u know what ABBA still the best group ever, take that

  • gosh you can't even spell...

  • Sugar Pumper  why have you gone quiet? Wheres you usual daily abuse, your Ecudorian dictatorshipism, I heard about you Ecs, have you fallen down a hole?

  • Hi salo !Yet another true ABBA comment's!! As far as bongobeef?Thats just a case of "you cant mix class with no class"

    ps clue?Salo has the class!Bongobeef?Sorry mate!This comment is reality and not fiction!! ABBA ROCK!!

  • hey ohlu, well that guy is just pathetic. He just wants some attention that's why I just ignore him ( I waste enough time with him already) and no matter how loud he barks, the point is that ABBA is still the best group ever...

  • I Knowe!!All ready had it out with him some time ago!Usually find these people lack eduation and manner's!?!??Any way at least you were the winner and he is the loser standing small!!!Gosh! Almost forgot? bongobeef?Look's like your getting the "SO LONG SO LONG SO LONG"

  • At 1:30... was Frida on speed on something? Her head was shaking like one of those dogs you put in the back of your car. And I'm digging the 70's special effects... Bang. Boom. Hee hee!

  • jassså så detta var den engelska verisonen

  • This seems to be the only one of their songs that I really like...They're stil awesome though just for making this song imo

  • "every smile and every little touch, don't you know they can mean so much" they are just brilliant every song and ever vid don't they know they mean so much! ABBA is the greatest group ever!this song has a really cool meaning!

  • Nada mejor que los setentas, yo aqui escuchando boomerang, saludos a los seguidores de la buena musica desde guetemala centroamerica, abba siempre los mejores..............

  • I really miss the 70's.

  • so do i...:)

  • I wish i lived in the seventies. I Barely remeber the nineties

  • Mann ! can these Gals sing ,and I wish some gals can sing today like they did back then .

  • this is my fave abba song

  • Was this supposed to be swedens entry in the 1973 eurovision song contest?

  • No, that was Ring Ring. This remains their best song, though imo.

  • A Swedish version of this song, sung by "Svenne och Lotta" partecipated in the Swedish song contest in 1975.

  • You are as smart as a stupid dog.

  • thank you for that extremely intellectual comment!

  • And your comments are sooooo intellectual! I'm impressed.

  • B&B actually Wrote the song to Svenne & Lotta. when it didn´t win, they found it to good to be just looked on as a rejected E.S.C. song. So ABBA recorded a cover of it..

  • OBE was just an expression.

    And if you want to get perfect about things?ABBA are not norwegians!You do really have to go for some ABBA education!

    Mmbnwinner You should go and learn the difnintion of thee word "COMMENT". ABBA are music makers,hollywood are movie makers!Let them be what they do best.

    Am out of here!Too many local village idiot's around here . So long .

  • YOU ALL NEED TO SHUT IT! DEAR LORD!! ABBA IS AMAZING!! HANDS DOWN!! GEEZ THE NERVE OF SOME PEOPLE!! BTW Mamma Mia the movie/musical is not the same. They changed lyrics, sounds, and story of the songs. AND THE SINGING IN THE MOVIE SUCKED TO HIGH HEAVEN!

  • You are so wrong! Get your some abba education,Go to abba's millions part 4?Infact watch them all!Before you put any more gibberish comment's on about ABBA.

    Not every things about money!Dont think a lot of people knowe its not all abt money?There's a true saying?"Its one thing getting money!And another trying to keep a hold of it"Thes ABBA people diserve to put there feet up and chill for the rest of there life!Let's face it?They have been hard working people!That in my opinion deserve an? OBE

  • they cant have an OBE because the ABBA people they are not British , they are Norwegians!

  • Three of them are Swedish and one of them is Norwegian.

  • why this was not a single? the song is great and catchy just like any other ABBA song!!I love the vid, so innocent and cute, the tittle of the song, sounds great to me.

  • If this is cheesy pop, than why does it endures 30 years on and others dont last 30 months?

  • no its all about the money Chinese Authority! and you know it dont you, your paid to praise Abba, otherwise you wouldnt and only gay men and spinsters would enjoy mamma mia the musical!

  • get real pal. you lack a lot of sense

  • look i think ChineseAuthority is a very suspect name, and you should really realise when your being wound up!

  • When you got such diverse artists like Anne Sofie Van Otter, Elvis Costello, Primal Scream, Kylie Minogue, U2, Sex Pistols, Mike Oldfield using your music, you know you please almost every human being on Earth.

  • one of my favourite ABBA tracks and videos, from a far more innocent era. Joyous.

  • this song was written just for Australians as ABBA were so popular here in the 70's!

  • I LUV ABBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i kiss you return to sender please surrender...

    ahhh love! this cool song was so under rated, thanks for posting mate

  • Abba are mint

  • I do not understand your argument, this is the best song by ABBA, I have loved it from time I did not know what they were singing about. Now I know and again it stays for ever the best song for me... Because it could be funny but true.

  • Looks of things on this page??Its like some one's maby took a tad too much acid in there time n still tripping a bit!!Or of course i could be?Deluded?!?!?.

  • Kylie Minogue?Most of most respected figures in the music indistry! I.E simon cowell and,pete waterman just a few!Even sid vicious of the sex pistols, bono, madonna, too many to list!As far as the beatles ABBA thing goes??The nails in the coffin with all this MAMAMIA midia hype!!Look's like yous al just have to??Look at the statistics n READ N WEEP!

    ps

    Ave been a punkrocker to raver!!This ABBA shits HEAVY shit!!its a Spiritual thing to feel good music that makes ABBA the No1 supergroup .so long

  • The cartoon "bang biff and pow" are really good but not original. The Batman series did that way before ABBA.

  • probably never relased as a single since it's not their tune in original, just a remake of Svenne & Lottas song.

  • A lot of ABBA's stuff was done using Polar's, then analogue equipment. Me being a purist prefers analogue. Me being techie has to live with digital, but it is no where near as good when it comes to recording. I bet is was bloody difficult trying to get the mixes which were done on new equipment to "sound" like the old ones. I'm a musician and if you look at an ABBA score it is very complex.

  • i cannot name one abba LP....they lasted a short period, none of them went on to anything worthwhile solo, majority of the songs were weak, the writing and lyrics and laughable, and dont give me this crap about composition bollocks

  • So you admit then that you are a Beatles Obsessive then. Actually you are wrong about one thing. Both Abba and the Beatles were both phonenma, if you stop and think about it.

    There was nothing clever about John Lennon, he was a good musician though. Take the lyrics of "Imagine", for example. There he was telling us all that material possessions did not matter, whils sittin in the middle of Tittenhurst Park, surrounded by his millions, hypocracy or what !!! - He weren't that clever.

  • He was a bit clever. he found the one thing that makes every one happy, one thing that now days nearly every single pop song is writtten about. Love Love Love

  • I think musicians have been writing and singing about love long before John Lennon.

    I don't think you can credit it to him as being the inventor of a good pop song.

  • no he invented it. they study his music and lyrics at university to understand how powerful love is. before him no one new about it.;)

  • As far as I know there is only one university that does a Beatles Degree, although what use it would be is quite frankly baffling.

    I think you will find blokes have been singing about love since long before John Lennon came along.

    Perhaps you are not old enough to remember though, foe example Elvis "Love Me Tender"

    1956 pre-dating the Beatles by 7 years.

    There was lots of music written about love,long before The Beatles ever came on the scene - promise !

  • I know man Im only joking.

  • "bongobeef" says: " i [sic] cannot name one abba LP...", and other stupid things, bla bla bla...

    Well Sir, that is because the problem lies with your brain and ears and soul. Or lack thereof.

  • "... songs were weak"? You Sir, are an idiot.

  • I was 8 when Waterloo was released, it was great then and it has stood the test of time well, like all Abba's stuff. I bet the band are raking it in from the film too. Hard to believe that Agnetha is going to be 60 soon. I wonder if she still looks good. She tends to hide on her island in Stockholm and does not like publicity. Apparently Bjorn and Benny spent ages getting the mixes as much like the original as possible for the film.

  • Agnetha still looks gorgous, and she released a cd in 04, than by the way it's great, but yeah she still looks stunning!

  • One of my favourite Abba videos. They look so young, happy and in love. Nicest part for me is Agnetha at 0:17. So cute.
