ABBA performing Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) Live on the Dick Cavett meets ABBA special 1981. Madonna then sampled this track for her song "Hung Up" in 2005. (This is the full version video, not the edited version)

Lyrics -
Half past twelve
and I'm watchin' the late show
in my flat all alone
how I hate to spend
the evening on my own
Autumn winds
blowin' outside my window
as I look around the room
and it makes me so
depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
no-one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
a man after midnight
won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
a man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day

Movie stars
find the end of the rainbow
with a fortune to win
it's so different from
the world I'm livin' in
Tired of TV
I open the window
and I gaze into the night
but there's nothing there to see
no-one in sight
There's not a soul out there
no-one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
a man after midnight
won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
a man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
a man after midnight
won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
a man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day

  • My favorite concert was part of DICK CAVETT MEETS ABBA 1981. After a meandering interview, they cut loose for a studio audience. They run through Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, Super Trouper and On And On And On. This is in their final months together, and there is a mature look. They are so great! The ladies wear lacy blouses and leather trousers. They could have stepped out of a painting by one of the Old Masters.

  • I remember seeing part of this video on an old vhs tape of my mothers when I was little. When I came upon this vid clip, it brought back a lot of memories.

  • I don't think Madonna has such a good voice, she sounds more like Mickey Mouse...the voices of Agnetha and Frieda are 10'000 times better...shame on you Madonna you will never ever hold a candle to ABBA you're just not as good, you just can sing a little bit, but you will never reach ABBA...

  • timeless!!!!!!!! ♫ ♥

  • Ha ha, Mom jeans meets hammer pants. Still Abba's awesome.

  • one of the best song ever

  • @moonflower0924 he should go on the chase then (get it the beast in the chase LOL)

  • Bjorn plays the guitar, LIKE A BOSS

  • GREAT!!!
