For "STEREO" click here: uk.youtube.com ABBA Chiquitita is one of my all time favorite ABBA songs. My son requested it, as he used to play it on the piano when he was a youngster! Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, tell me the truth I'm a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on You were always sure of yourself Now I see you've broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you singonce more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita So the walls came tumbling down And your love's a blown out candle All is gone and it seems too hard to handle Chiquitita, tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing ...

A very, very great ABBA megamix. I hope you'll enjoy watching it :-D PS Its not made by me!

Here is another emotional video of ABBA. Winner Takes It all

Fun ABBA video clip of "Eagle".

From the "ABBA in concert" DVD, live performance of Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) in Wembley Stadium.

Fernando was originally released as a single in Sweden by Frida, where it topped the charts for 9 consecutive weeks and broke all records. Abba realised it had international potential and released their own single version in March 1976. It topped the charts in many countries, and stayed at no. 1 in Australia for 14 weeks, equalling Hey Jude by The Beatles. Abba made their first tour to Australia in March 4-14 1976, and experienced Abbamania. Melbourne airport was beseiged by fans chanting for them when they arrived. The girls were moved to tears. Newspaper and tv headlines read "Abba fever hits Australia". Channel 9 recorded the tv special "The Best Of Abba", which included this performance of Fernando. The show was watched by 54% of the viewing public, more than watched the moon landing. They performed their biggest hits, with several costume changes. The tv producer declared "I have never worked with such an agreeable group of people. The image they present on screen - friendly, warm, bright, intelligent people - is exactly what they are. Complete modesty is the group's most refreshing quality". Expessen published some astounding figures after the tour. Abba had 5 singles and 2 albums in the charts at the same time in Australia. Fernando was no. 1, Ring Ring was no. 4, Rock Me was no. 5, Mama Mia was no. 20 and SOS was no. 22. "Abba" and "The Best Of Abba" were numbers 1 and 2 in the album charts. Public demand was so great, "The Best Of Abba" was screened several times ...

This was the opening track of their 1977 album "ABBA - The Album". It was also released as a single in May 1978. Lyrics: They came flyin' from faraway now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell they've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons they speak strangely but I understand and I dream I'm an eagle and I dream I can spread my wings Flyin' high, high I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze high, high what a feeling to fly over mountains and forests and seas and to go anywhere that I please As all good friends we talk all night and we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything there's no limit to what I feel we climb higher and higher am I dreamin' or is it all real is it true I'm an eagle is it true I can spread my wings Flyin' high, high I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze high, high what a feeling to fly over mountains and forests and seas and to go anywhere that I please

French and Saunders perform a very ABBA-esque song titled "Cest La Vie" and they poke fun at the four Swedes. Hilarious!

From the September 1999 Danish ABBA TV Special. The broadcast video version of "Ring Ring" recorded in 1973.

Agnetha turns in a stellar performance of what had to be a heart wrenching song for her to sing.

Recording of Dancing Queen started in August 1975. It was inspired by George McCrae's 1974 disco classic Rock Your Baby. It was released in August 1976, and was instantly a huge wordwide hit. It was no. 1 for 14 weeks in Sweden, and 6 weeks in UK. Stig recalls "One day I found a note in my office with a telephone number on it. I gave it to Gorel and said 'Can you call them'. She replied 'It's not a telephone number, it's the latest sales figures for Dancing Queen in Britain'". Frida recalls "I loved the song from the very beginning. Coming back from the studio, Benny played the backing track to me. It was so beautiful that I started to cry. I mean, even without lyrics or voices on it, it was outstanding." Dancing Queen is Abba's best known song, and continues to fill dance floors the world over to this day. This performance is from the November 1978 Japan tv show "Abba Special". From Arrival album. Lyrics: You can dance, you can sing Having the time of your life, See that girl, watch that scene Dig in the Dancing Queen, Friday night and the lights are low, Looking out for the place to go, Where they play the right music, getting in the swing You come in to look for a king, Anybody could be that guy, Night is young and the music's high, With a bit of rock music, everything is fine You're in the mood for a dance, And when you get the chance, You are the Dancing Queen, Young and sweet, only seventeen Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine You can dance, you can ...

Watch this video IN-SYNC - clik this link below: www.youtube.com The video and audio will then be in-sync. For some reason YouTube has started to re-encode the audio to many videos and some of mine is now awfully out-of-sync, though they were from the start 100% in-sync. In 1979 ABBA took part in the Spanish show called "300 Millones" and performed 4 songs. "I Have A Dream" - "Does Your Mother Know" - "Voulez-Vous" - "Chiquitita" (in Spanish). Here's "Does Your Mother Know". "Voulez-Vous" should be uploaded by someone else here on YouYube, but I have uploaded the other two songs/videos. More info can be found on ABBAonTV www.abbaontv.com/1979/description-300-millones.html or tinyurl.com .

Memorable live performance of The Day Before You Came on Nov 11th 1982. The audience clearly love this. One of Agnetha's best lead performances. Long close-ups of her beautiful face, with that unique head band. Watch how she concentrates for her cut ins.

ABBA perform the German language version of their Eurovision winning song, "Waterloo", complete with flashy outfits and platform boots.

Videoclip recorded in 1979 at Wembley. The song's "Summer night city"; one version very strong and awesome!

In 1976 Swedens contribution for the MIDEM Fair in Cannes was a programme called "Made In Sweden For Export", in which ABBA took part with 3 songs (Mamma Mia, So Long and I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do). The programme was recorded in 1975 and also shown in Sweden that year.

For stereo click here: uk.youtube.com From: Super Trouper Album. Album was completed in November 1980,recordings at Polor Music Studios Stockholm Sweden, & Wembley Arena in London. It was ABBA'S 7th album. The summer air was soft and warm The feeling right, the Paris night Did it's best to please us And strolling down the Elysee We had a drink in each cafe And you You talked of politics, philosophy and I Smiled like Mona Lisa We had our chance It was a fine and true romance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain We made our way along the river And we sat down in the grass By the Eiffel tower I was so happy we had met It was the age of no regret Oh yes Those crazy years, that was the time Of the flower-power But underneath we had a fear of flying Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying We took the chance Like we were dancing our last dance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer [ Our Last Summer lyrics found on www.completealbumlyrics.com ] Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants Living for the day, worries far away Our last summer We could laugh and play And now you're working in a bank The family man, the football fan And your name is Harry How dull it seems Yet you're the hero of my dreams I can still recall our last summer I still see it all Walks along the Seine ...

For 'STEREO' click here: uk.youtube.com From ABBA'S 8th and final studio album. Released at the end of November 1981. For the group it had been a complicated LP to put together: They were nearing the end of the ABBA story. All us ABBA fans wish they would have gone on longer, but we are happy & thankful for the great music they have left us with! (B. Andersson/B. Ulvaeus) 1982 Down in the street they're all singing and shouting Staying alive though the city is dead Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter While you are crying alone on your bed Pity, Cassandra that no one believed you But then again you were lost from the start Now we must suffer and sell our secrets Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood Now the last day is dawning Some of us wanted but none of us would Listen to words of warning But on the darkest of nights Nobody knew how to fight And we were caught in our sleep Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe you really had the power I only saw it as dreams you would weave Until the final hour So in the morning your ship will be sailing Now that your father and sister are gone There is no reason for you linger You're grieving deeply but still moving on You know the future is casting a shadow No one else sees it, but you know your fate Packing your bags, being slow and thorough Knowing though you're late that ship is sure to wait Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood Now the last day is dawning Some of us wanted but none of us would ...

A great song from their 1979 album "Voulez Vous". Lyrics: Last night I was taking a walk along the river and I saw him together with a young girl and the look that he gave her made me shiver 'cause he always used to look at me that way and I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say it's a game he likes to play Look into his angeleyes one look and you're hypnotized he'll take your heart and you must pay the price look into his angeleyes you'll think you're in paradise and one day you'll find out he wears a disguise don't look too deep into those angeleyes oh no no no no Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him and it hurts to remember all the good times when I thought I could never live without him and I wonder does it have to be the same every time when I see him will it bring back all the pain how can I forget that name Look into his angeleyes one look and you're hypnotized he'll take your heart and you must pay the price look into his angeleyes you'll think you're in paradise and one day you'll find out he wears a disguise don't look too deep into those angeleyes Crazy 'bout his angeleyes angeleyes he took my heart and now I pay the price look into his angeleyes you'll think you're in paradise and one day you'll find out he wears a disguise don't look too deep into those angeleyes oh no no no no (Keep thinking keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes keep thinking keep thinking I had to pay the price)
