The 70s were not as prudish as today, and Sweden was never as prudish as the USA. we went to the clubs with 14 and enjoyed our lives.😀

Take the lyrics as they are singing them. About a young girl who likes to dance. That`s all. It`s about dancing and having the time of your life. Anything other than that, comes from you. It`s not Abba.

PS: answering your questions ABBA are Swedish, not English speakers sang in English to enter international markets but in their early years it was difficult for them to write in English (and they were helped by their manager Stig Anderson) they start to compose the songs always for the melodies and then they look for a lyrics to sing them, prioritizing the rhymes so that the hooks would be more catchy this lyric is only intended to express the joy of a young teenager going out on a friday night to spend the best day of her life on the dance floor the choice of seventeen (17) is probably because of the syllables for the rhyme As for the children in the video, ABBA were pure, with their music they had a great reach for all audiences, including children, you can see them on their TV specials and concerts in Australia

The answer to your questions is in the title of the song. They're singing about a dancing Queen, (i.e. a young, attractive girl who enjoys socialising via the dance floor), who's there to find her, dancing 'king', so to speak. It's more of a romantic thing than anything else. Any other connotations you want to apply are entirely of your own making. Being from the 70's, songs weren't, (generally), explicit from a, 'hook up', perspective. It was, quite literally, to do with love and romance. A more innocent time, I guess.

Exactly those were innocent times and not to be taken literal. This is so simple to understand.

So nice to see you with reaction to ABBA These is ABBA, the iconic Swedish pop group, the best, most versatile and most important group of the 70s, in the post BEATLES decade (the revolutionary group of the 60s) ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, was a musical and cultural phenomenon, and its legacy lives on ABBA is an acrostic with initials of their first names ; initialy They was two couples: Agnetha (blonde lead vocal) & Björn (guitarist and songwriter) Benny (pianist and songwriter) & Anni Frid (brunette lead vocal) (both separated before their breakup in 1982) "Dancing Queen" (1976) is a beautiful song, which shines in the loftiness of its vocal harmonies And the music is bright and enveloping, from the initial chord it introduces you into the atmosphere of the disco and invites you to dance English public has voted it as one of the songs they want to hear the most, because of the feeling of joy and energy it gives them (another is "Don't stop me now" by Queen) and "Dancing Queen" was included in the Hall of Fame of Rock and Pop Music in 2015 ABBA recording between 1972/1982, have a wonderful series of more than 20 worldwide hits (and more than 50 another great songs), included nine #1 in UK, in chronological order: Waterloo Mamma Mia Fernando Dancing Queen Knowing me knowing you The name of the game Take a chance on me The winner takes it all Super trouper And after more than 35 years ABBA return to studio in 2017 and recording a full new album "Voyage" between 2017/2021 released in November 2021 and is a worldwide succes And in last May 2022 all four ABBA members asist to the premiere of the Voyage Concerts in the new ABBA Arena in London ABBA begin to be famous in 1974, when They won the Eurovision Song Contest in UK with their iconic song "Waterloo" these is the link of the live perfomance, that I suggest you to next reaction kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXqnuMeGqpSsZcY.html I hope to more reactions of ABBA GOD bless you my regards from Buenos Aires Argentina

The Tambourine is a musical instrument Lol. Hey back in the 70s there were places where teens could go dancing that weren't nightclubs.. different time Dude

Not everything is gutter. Maybe in Philly, but not everywhere. She wants to dance.

it's a studio, not a real club.

Ok. Hope you have a pad and paper out this is a very complicated song...........Ready........... A girl is going out dancing on a Friday night.............Got all that? Great. Take a break now. Rest the brain......... ha ha

Unfortunately, this is one of the most moronic reviews fuelled by lazy indignation, that I have come across. If that’s your genuine view, then I trust to detest almost every rap song from the last 30 years.
