Abba - Under Attack

[pardyhardly]

1:54 to 2:07 Benny looks like he's ready to quit the band right there and then.

[Borusa1976]

In a way - best way to go..... walking out into the sunshine - leaving us with lots of happy memories.

[KatManDude]

Sounds like a lost ELO song.

[nishadealwis1]

Really there should be a reunion. Though impossible it may look. It saddens me to see all four of them walking together at the end of the video.

[withhe]

Why did you, Björn and Benny, leave your wives? Marriage is nothing or what???

[videoaerogames1]

3:22 that means the end of abba D;

[aaronjarvis1]

Another awsum ABBA track, their last single to be released. ABBA r awsum and always will b. They should have a reunion.

[2011andres2011]

Bajo Ataque!!!!!

[littleangel6889]

7 people are deaf -.-"

[VVIPforlife]

This is my favorite ABBA song actually. A shame that this song didn't get more attention, because I absolutely love UA. Upbeat yet melancholic at the same time, this song encapsulated ABBA's musical spirit and what they were all about imo.

[mightymind84]

Esta en una joya musical, buena melodía e interpretación... como cada canción de este genial grupo Sueco... ABBA FOREVER !!

[thisislovevevo]

Eu amo essa música.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

This is the last video ever done by ABBA.

George Vreeland Hill

[TYK1986]

Great song by ABBA as usual!!!!

[MrEurocat]

Another single that bombed in the UK - Abba's output wasn't inferior in the early 80s, it's just the music world had taken another direction, this was the era of the British invasion of almost every country with their new romantic/synth pop groups. And this sounded tame compared to the Human League, Eurythmics etc ....... shame Abba didnt get the send off they deserved

[JuiTa121]

ostatnie piosenki abby mnie dobijają

[acslaszlo]

Fantastic! Fantastic!

[Hollyande1]

1:32 my favorite part

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

I agree about VEVO. BAD sound i have heard better sound on amateur uploads!!

[JuiTa121]

@GibbyGibbyGibb co wy się wszyscy VEVO czepiacie! jak dla mnie dźwięk idealny!

[chuckiesfest21]

OMG 30 second of advertise !!! its getting boring

[ccadavi1]

:megusta:

[ladalowet1]

Thumbs up if you cried when looking at this video knowing that it was the end.. :'(

[asrtsss]

@ladalowet1 it might be the end but they live on in are hearts,

[trickykid73]

Go to hell VEVO !!

[wga35o]

Very sad, the end. But the harmonies are at the best.

[MrsEmily1235]

It is sad for me to watch this video... greta video and great song, but in the fact 1982 is the beginning of ending ABBA...

[berlinmitte10117]

Tip for the ads - scroll down so you just see the counter and mute the sound - that way you can avoid having to listen to them

[Andymalcolm1]

after a crack,the fence is breaking

[caribeandude1]

@Andymalcolm1 actually it's "Under attack, I'm being taken. About to crack, defenses braking"

[somesortanaughty]

why does Vevo have such BAAAAD quality sound????? just some fat asses sitting counting money not really caring about music!! They probably wouldn't recognize music if it had legs and came walking their way!! This is all just for money money money....

[TheCapdevillaTV]

@somesortanaughty Bad sound quality? It's the 80's, the quality you're listening this too is probably 240p and it was intended to be recorded with a low quality. Check your headphones/loudspeaker, maybe the fault is in them.

[rikiki1967]

Si vous ne connaissez pas l'album "The Visitors" je vous conseille de l'écouter, c'est une perle. A mon avis le meilleur album de ABBA. Dommage que ce fût le dernier.

[MegaAbbafan1]

abba es mejor que the beatles

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

Nowadays, Frida is the prettiest, because the media adores the darker haired gals. But back in the seventies everyone fancied blonde Agnetha!! Funny how time changes views....

[cantamos100]

I remember reading there were plans for one more album but nobody had the heart to follow through.

[Torkgasmicgirl8]

@cantamos100 After the release of the "The Visitors" album, Bjorn was quoted as saying "If the next album is no fun to make, then we probably won't release it at all and we'll split up the group. That's the simple philosophy we have. We're not going to go on if we don't think it's fun anymore". The Visitors album cover brought much speculation as the band are all far apart from each other and looking in different directions. The photo-shoot was brief as they all wanted to leave quickly.

[cantamos100]

It's difficult to watch this video. The end is very near.

[Thorpedo619]

@cantamos100 I believe this was their last song together

[bojack40]

fantastic - as ever with ABBA

[cradleofnils]

Never understood the robovoice thing. But it's a good song. Though they should have stopped promoting themselves up to this point. Totally uninspired..

[pardyhardly]

@cradleofnils That's why they ended it here. It was uninspired, and tense, and boring. Two divorced couples trying to make music with each other is not a sustainable situation.

[infernokid1990]

Very New Wave-esque. Sounds like The Police.

[xXRelenquishedXx]

Not many people seen to know about this song, but it's one of my personal favourites.

[cclovesabba]

This a great song!!

What a killer chorus!

[cclovesabba]

This a great song!!

[sandy1980ification]

the 4 abba are very great.

[sandy1980ification]

Agnetha is very pretty but for me Frida is most prettier. Frida have good voice but Agnetha have better voice. I know the most is the voice and the talent of the two girl. is only one comentary of the beauty of the two women, the two girl are so beatiful.

[SimonDolan]

In spite of all the mega hits, this is my favourite.

[aciric7]

Well I don't prefer anyone all 4 are just great benny bjorn agnetha frida <3

[marwingbandit]

abba for ever

[DutchGirlMusic]

who cares whos prettier.. :o

they are singers, not models

[1994comm]

Ran-D & Adaro - Under Attack : they got you under attack!! <3

[peruvianosabroso]

que importa quien es mas bonita..que tonteria..o importante es q las dos son estupendas cantantes..y las dos son preciosas

[AmeBcaBnoA]

@sandy1980ification maybe, but actually 2 of 3 fans of ABBA prefer Agnetha.

[wieslawl59]

@AmeBcaBnoA It is not true. The real fans of ABBA prefer both. There would be no Abba if one of them was missing. It would only be ABB.

[margolou2010]

@wieslawl59 That's so true. Agnetha and Annifrid each contributed their own particular brand of talent and beauty to the band. Just as Bjorn and Benny each contributed their own brand of songwriting and performing. The band was complete when it was together and they all complemented each other.

[LineBLarsen]

@wieslawl59 A real fan would prefer all four!!

[wieslawl59]

@LineBLarsen You are right!

[Sonya14091991]

@AmeBcaBnoA what? i can say that too:10 of 10 fans prefer Frida... but now i say that : 10 of 10 fans prefer Frida and Agnetha

[Flutterflut89]

Lovely and Amazing song!xxx

[Paspiedreamcast]

1:03 Frida looks creepy

[MrRazorblade999]

Benny and Bjorn must have listened a lot to ELO when they wrote this song.

[MsFanmail]

i love this track very under rated

[GloveGirl]

@MsFanmail I agree. This 1 of my favorite abba tracks

[KauKatKay]

This makes me cry thinking that both couples divorced. :_( ABBA WE LOVE YOU <3

[kokeshkokesh]

this song became my most favorite one after visiting Abba World. Don't know why. Never noticed this one before.

[wildbilltexas]

I'm surprised Atlantic Records didn't release this on 45 in the USA. It was just a LP track on "ABBA - The Singles" collection. I think its a great song and could have been a hit here in the states.

Sounds to me like Benny & Bjorn were really paying close attention to synth-pop groups like The Human League when I hear this song, The Visitors LP and the few songs they left behind ("You Owe Me One" "I Am The City"). Then again groups like the Human League owe a HUGE debt to ABBA.

[fustyans]

From this video, it was obvious that it was all coming to an end....

Theres not much going on, its one of those "lets just get it over and done with" videos

[BriChase98]

It's sad. As much as I've noticed, everyone thinks that Frida is the best looking, but I really like Agnetha. D:

[Bagiricsi]

@BriChase98 Our taste is not the same. Some people like Frida more then Agnetha, others like Angetha more than Frida. Some people like both of them, some of the people get stomach-ache because of hearing word "ABBA". But I agree with you :) And it's so great song too! They should release this one with the other 8 too on the 9th album they planned!

[pianogirl837]

Agnetha is more beautiful than Frida, Frida looks old in this video.

[Beto246]

@pianogirl837 Yes, indeed! Frida is very beautiful too, but her hair style in this video ages her.

[WiiMiiMe]

is this the last songor was it day before you came???

[discogareth]

@WiiMiiMe 'Under attack' was the last single, but 'the day before you came' was the last song that ABBA recorded together. UA was recorded 02/08/82 Released Dec 1982 and TDBYC was recorded 20/08/82, released Oct 1982

[withhe]

They look like they have only come back from cowhouse......

[jigsown]

ABBA at its best.

[Scottsteaux63]

The last single that ABBA ever recorded :-(

[crazycraig73]

and freda is filthy rich. love it ..lol who needs to be pretty when your a billonaire

[discogareth]

@crazycraig73 Not quite a billionaire, but until Mamma Mia came along in 1999, it was said she was the richest member of the group, partly due to her getting out of her Polar Music shares in the early 1980's before ABBA's investment companies and Oil company crashed. She also avoided the large tax scandal that hit the group a few years back, when Millions in unpaid tax had to be paid back. Such a shame that the relationship between ABBA and Stig, their manager wasn't too good in the end :o(

[crazycraig73]

@discogareth Anni-Frid is one of "the 300 wealthiest of Switzerland" with assets of between 200 and 300 million Swiss Francs. Although, she was not poor before she married, she acquired most of her wealth from her deceased husband "Prince Heinrich Russo". Her Serene Highness Princess Anni-Frid Reuss von Plauen"

[wieslawl59]

@discogareth You are not quite accurate on the tax scandal. It was Björn who was accused, but he actually won in the court of law as far as I remember.

[discogareth]

@wieslawl59 Agnetha was also involved, a figure of about £5m GBP each was mentioned at the time. ( around 1994/5). I admit though I do not know what the outcome was. Then of course there was the other tax issue involving Benny and the Hep Stars during the 1960's, but thats another issue. :o)

[OEKIE77]

@themaytagrepairman Not forgetting to mention Husqvarna, IKEA and Hennis and Mauritz as well! And although I'm not exactly an expert on the difference between Swedish and American brands and products, ( in the way of consumer friendliness, durability, endurance etc.) I must admit I did find my secondhand Ford Escort quite reliable over the years. So in that respect, I didn't have any qualms or complaints about this truly "All American"-product. But SWEDISH automobiles are pretty smart too!

[broadband01]

this was the last song i saw from abba here in the uk,, so pretty sure it was there last before splitting up

[SuperChintaman]

one of the best songs of ABBA of all times

prasad jambotkar

[LyricsLynna]

I remember when I was a kid i boogied in my room listening to this lol

[capuleeet]

a very catchy tune, love the melody and the chordstructure. underrated song

[svenskaflicka428]

agnetha is soo pretttty<33

[valejp100]

my music acuante esta musica abba

[orangefrog4]

come onn they kicked beatles butt a decade ago in sales...

[sandy1980ification]

simon260197. i used the 80,s the correct times for explend to you my friend. my english is so so but i know, i used good the expresion 80,s correct. God bless you.

[sandy1980ification]

Frida is very pretty. pretty face. pretty nose.

[sandy1980ification]

very good song.

[sandy1980ification]

simon260197, i mean said abba look so 80,s in that video and the song is so 80,s.abba have only 4 biggest hit in the 80,s: the winner takes it all, super trouper, lay all love on me and one of us but the winner takes it all is one of the biggest hit of their like these in the 70,s: Dancing queen, chiquitita, knowing me knowing you, Fernando, take change on me. abba haved 4 biggest hit in the 80,s and 15 biggest hit in the 70,s. under atack no was a biggest hit but is a good 80,s song. from 82.

[SIMON260197]

@sandy1980ification how many times u sed 80's

[sandy1980ification]

simon260197. i know, later i explend what i mean said.

[14bycicle]

I can hear the "robotic" sounds that classified the eighties. I wonder what would have happened to ABBA's music had they continued through the 80's.

[OEKIE77]

@SailAndersson Like they normally do in ICE HOCKEY as well!

[Satanischer]

The world was a better place with Abba

[Sincopare]

Hey, that's the set of Total Recall! The greatest movie of all time.

[SIMON260197]

Agnetha looks older than she is in this video- and her haircut reminds me of someone from ghost hunters- does anyone know how old frida is in this video

[tjvanpopta]

@SIMON260197 frida was born in 1945(15-11). The song is from 1981,

so Frida was 36. She was,en stil is,5 years older than Agnetha.

[samdieselangel]

Abba the best; everything else the rest!

[1stockracersingapore]

ABBA: 227,012 views

Justin Bieber: 2,000,000 views

Really this much? I hate that gay bitch -.-"

[tubegopher]

@1stockracersingapore Hey, if there was the internet in the 1970/1980s I bet there would have been millions of hits for each of ABBAs songs, but checkout the views for Dancing Queen and The Winner Takes It All on the right hand side of this page.

[madabbafan]

@1stockracersingapore well the day that talentless twit gets to 350,000,000 sales world wide will never happen. I'd give him 18 months before he is gone and forgotten.

[SIMON260197]

i dont know how all this beiber fever started- why cant his voice break already???

[matheusedc]

Música ótima, clip horrível, gosto do ABBA com as roupas loucas e coloridas D:

[kghill1980]

This is one of my favorites by them. I was surprised how much I liked their music when I heard 'em. I never thought much about 70's music (before my time).

[SIMON260197]

me too as soon as i saw mamma mia and the top 25 songs on itv1 - i was hooked and cant get enough of their music

[TheNumberOneJumpJack]

From watching this, I think Björn and Benny are playing the chasing lover, and Agnetha and Frida are the girl who's being chased.

[buildelectriccarsnow]

@sandy1980ification - Well, well ... that was plump to the border ...

WHAT IS YOUR POINT ?

> > >This is fantastic music ! Here we find a Really GREAT video to go with the TIMELESS MUSIC - - -

and you degrade yourself into expressing your lack of appreciation ? - - of the PHYSICAL LOOK of one band member ?!? Can't you find a more meaningful task ?

BIG THANKS for this upload ! Just GREAT ! :)

[carrottproductions]

Apparently this was the last song..? So sad )': ABBA forever! (:

[madabbafan]

@carrottproductions yes it was their last single at least in the UK.

[svenskaflicka428]

BEST people in the whoooooole wide world and i mean that with a deeeep passion! <333

[supersonrise]

So thankful for these videos that we can fall back on...very little of what I hear in today's music can match the quality of what ABBA did 30 years ago, with very little of today's technology. Stunning music from the most amazing pop band in music history.

[MsFanmail]

This is a very under rated track from abba i got this on vinyl somewhere i loved all abbas later music especially the lyrics.

[carolauxx1]

What a great song. Thanks ABBA>

[marilynfaltskog]

This song was directed solely at the media and the ending when they walked out into the sunlight is just amazing



[TheCoventryblaze]

To be honest i think you can tell that they were near the end of there journey together,ABBA still best group.

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@TheCoventryblaze - The only reason ABBA ended was because sadly, both couples divorced and understandably things went downhill from there. It would be difficult, (and that's putting it lightly), singing love songs that used to apply to your beloved wife who is now your ex-wife. :(

[skrikon]

The vocoder saying: "You know that I'm nobody's fool" gives me chills every time! It's so fucking cool!

[maniscogaliero]

Loved so much Mamma Mia! on stage in NYC I cannot avoid to see i t again in London. It's amazing to see how many, as me remembered these songs and this era...So long ago!

[radox33]

the best group ever!!!!!!!

[zircbonito]

Love the blending voices of Anni Frid and Agnetha......

[Beto246]

Love them.Thanks for the video.

[RockyBoltzano]

galactic

[lostintimeline]

abba was the best pop band in the golden 80s agetha looked so hot.their music is now TIMELESS abba you always ROCK

[svenskaflicka428]

im a young teen and ABBA is the only music i will listen to<33

[StabelliAdam1]

ABBA were Sweden's answer to the Beatles.

[NobodyKnows1231]

:L

[crabbygrl31]

there was, nor will there ever be another ABBA

[vato61783]

This is EXACTLY the kind of music that made the 70s & 80s great.

[Shane55able]

ABBA go out in style with this....gr8.:)

[sandy1980ification]

Abba so 80,s.

[SIMON260197]

@sandy1980ification their reign of pop was 1972/3- 1982 not much was in the 80's

[lovelygelly]

OMG...ABBA WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?EVERY SONG YOU SUNG ITS ALWAYS PERFECT HYMN AND MELODY... SIGH...I WISH I WILL MEET YOU SOMEDAY....

[MsFanmail]

A very underrated abba ong i got this on vinyl somewhere i like all abba older songs

[daisymoo72]

Come and rescue me now cos I'm falling apart

[valsmith706]

A&F remain the best ever despite all the years have passed...

[Bagiricsi]

Love this song! Don't you know, did they plan this song as the 3rd track on their 9th LP?

[HiOctane62]

Love it

[rematpac]

I've never heard a song that sounds anything like this before.It must be a completely original idea no one ever came close to thinking of before.I want to hear more songs like this.Too bad they didn't make it twice as long.

[vardiss22]

Correct me if i'm wrong but i think this was their last North American single....its too bad about the personal issues that led to the groups break up i think they could have made the transition further into the 80's had they stayed together the talent was certianly there both musically and of course vocally.

[shadowofanight]

@vardiss22 Yes, this was their last single, though their last recorded song was The Day Before You Came. And I wholeheartedly agree with you, had it not been for the personal problems, they would have done great in the '80s. Their last songs, You Owe me One, I am The City are the proof. :P

[shadowofanight]

Oh my God, they're walking away. :(

Isn't that the saddest part in all of their music videos?

[040324246]

You can hear the 80s sound in this song a change from the disco sound of the 70s which is in most of their songs

[cclovesabba]

Those two voices blended together.... pure magic.

[TheDeadlyDelilah]

@monitai So much - I totally agree. That's why the girls (sadly) failed in their solo careers - they just didn't have the songwriters to back them up.

[TheDeadlyDelilah]

I SO MUCH love this song. ABBA's "The Visitors" album was by far their best - I will never understand how the world didn't take to it as much or more than their previous albums.

[TriggerLuna]

The three people who disliked this are Under Attack.

[weirdguy75]

@TriggerLuna yea they were attacked by the disgusting advertisements and couldn't watch the video.

[MyDreamside]

this is my fav. abba song,i think cause i think all their songs are great,one of the best bands of all time

[TheRobertoliveira1]

"...O mundo teria sido um lugar mais triste sem ABBA"

[myrtlebox]

Like The Beatles, ABBA went out with arguably their best album (The Visitors)

Two amazing songwriters + Two amazing vocalists = ABBA

[wilberforcehumphries]

the song/video clip kinda lingers by Not the Nine o Clock news is a knock off of this. the music is very Abba style too. Its pretty rude, but its funny! Check it out.

[geminikev1]

love this song one of their best before before splitting...only problem is that some of the vocals are hard to understand, especially in the chorus

[rodley25]

I am The City recorded May 8 1982 was one of their best later songs. check it out on YT.

[kittykat1501]

@monitai i meant in the videos. they should be playing instruments instead of just standing there and read all of my comment, i said they were an amazing band

[chelsea1802]

I love this song, it reminds me of the first scene of the second act in Mamma Mia now!

[darlixjaffa]

one of their most under-rated songs. i love it.

[kittykat1501]

makes me lol how the guys are just extra bodies. still an amazing band though
