  • I can never understand why so many people make fun of ABBA. Musically, they were geniuses. Their melodies were always so strong, distinctive, and pleasing. When you get past their silly 70s costumes, the sometimes simple and questionable English lyrics, and their so-called "wholesome" look, you cannot deny the fact that they are among the best pop musicians of all time, if not the best. Melodically, they are certainly at the top of the list.

  • @mrshinyshoes Hells yes! :D

  • Contrary to what some people think, this song is one of ABBA's best songs, melodically. Lyrically it may suck, but the melody is so original, pleasant, and cheerful. Very underrated.

  • Agree. I think DDD is the most underrated ABBA song of all. Happy, upbeat, catchy. Win!

  • I agree! Melodically there is nothing else like it on the radio these days. I mean, compare it to something like "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay, a boring, overrated song. Dum Dum Diddle is so charged with energy and originality.

  • There was a Swedish ABBADABBADOO and one for the Engish audience. We visit the house where Benny and Bjorn compose. They discuss their approach to songwriting and the importance of melody. Agnetha tells how nervous she was making her first record and how her father brought her to Stockholm. She looks so beautiful and innocent!

  • MY UNCLE LEONARD PRODUCED ABBADABBADOO!!

  • This song was already 10 years old when I discovered it. And still going strong.

  • @mrshinyshoes

    Actually, I have never noticed that before. However, now that you have brought it to my attention, I will be sure to take note!

  • The most difficult thing an artist can do and achieve is to be able to create something really beautiful yet very simple and uncomplicated. Dum, Dum, Diddle is an example of ABBA's ability to uncomplicate music to its most pure and joyous sound. That is the true sign of artistic genius.

  • @Smartboy8877 Yeah, they were. Agnetha always had this cute habit of drawing her lips in when she broke into a smile. Ever notice that? 

  • @mrshinyshoes

    I can very much see where you are coming from with this post and the one that came before it! They were two very sexy babes in their day!

  • @Smartboy8877 Agnetha looks really beautiful here. Especially at 0:28. That face, those eyes!

  • @Smartboy8877 Lol!! Um, yes, I agree... Makes me salivate. lol :3
