Not many singers can Interpret lyrics like Frida and Shirley Bassey.

Não precisa dizer nada......... showww simplismente de mais...

The gals look especially happy singing/miming to this one! And so they should: TNOTG is just incredible writing and arranging, maybe the best the pop charts have ever seen.
-
Great vocals, great instrumentation and appropriately subtle synthesizing, and the alternating harmonies are terrific. Well done. '70s music was simply the best.
-
I love to listen to this on acid.
-
Frida is such a trippy person.
-
beautiful music!!!!
-
That might be.
But i can remember when the Single was first released here in Norway/Scandinavia it was what you call Promo edit that was released. Not the album version.
I just think its strange that a version that was commersially released on single are reffered to as a promo.

It wasn´t a so called promo edit.
It was a ordinary single version.
The one they perform here is the album version as it were on "The Album"

@superdresser Its generally referred to as the US Promo edit, as US Atlantic requested it.

I didn't know there was a second stanza to this song. But of course, on their 1992 GOLD compilation, they must have had to limit the length of the track because the compilation had 19 songs and clocks in at nearly at 80 minutes (you know, the CD limit).

Yes there is :) The original 1992 CD release of ABBA Gold used the Promo Edit of The Name Of The Game, however the 1999 remaster of ABBA Gold uses the full song (However the "remasters" on the 1999 disc are very very bad)
