DJ Raul Rodriguez of the Disconet Remix Service created this famous extended version of this song (which was never officially released) that propelled ABBA to the top of the US dance charts in 1981.

Seeing the success of this track in the dance charts, they released the regular album version as a 12" single in the UK and the US. Sadly, the extended Disconet Remix wasn't used and it remains unreleased.
Lay All Your Love on Me", originally called "Yarrafat", is a song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA in 1980 for their Super Trouper album.

It was released only as a 12-inch single in 1981 in limited territories, rather than as a standard 7-inch record
As "Lay All Your Love on Me" was not intended to be a single, it was not released until 1981, the year after it had been recorded. It was only after a remixed version had soared in popularity, that it topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart
". At the time, it was the highest selling 12-inch record in UK chart history, where it peaked at no.7.

I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear...

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do...

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

[DISCOVEGASGUY]

The dance floor would be packed when the dj's would place this track along with On And On And On and The Visitors. I remember when Lay All Your Love On Me hit #1 on the Billboard Dance/Disco chart. We had a huge three-day non-stop party at all the clubs. The good 'ol days !!

[zodiac711]

@2Shaymcn After taking a look at (very bad copy) of that So Long clip, double-WOW... You really did an amazing job putting this together. Thanks again.

LONG before Mamma Mia we queers were twirling our asses to "Lay All Your Love On Me" (Disconet Mix) in the early '80's with popper bottles and cocktails in our hands and nothing but sweaty mens jammed packed in every queer bar from coast to coast.

Ahhhh...the good old days.

[mikiecash21]

Great sound...especially for 1981!

[TheMjblades]

Abba were dumb not to release it like this. Them and their flaming edits! Who elese does this. Americans always let their tracks bang on to 8 minutes. You could fit about 50 Abba songs throughout the length of one Slagdonna, Meat Loaf, Bryan Adams, Level 42 etc. song.

The only thing is this version is ruined by the unecessary applause at the end so you can't hear the voices fading-not good.

[peterpaulenjustina36]

Great record!!!!!

[annalhollis]

pretty sound like angels voices thanks abba

[grimlund]

I could gladly lay all my love in both Frida or Agneta..Holy crap..They are so hot here...

This is the best ABBA song...

[poperock7]

Oh Frida......:)
