This is my favourite ABBA song. It has everything - harmonies by the whole group, the third voice by the two ladies, solos by each lady, an a capella sequence and superb layered back-up vocals, in a song with diverse sections that fit seamlessly, and great instrumentation. Love love love!!!♥️♥️♥️

Mine to. It literally has everything. Been listening to this song for 40 years and I never tire of it... 🇸🇪

There is really is no other music group comparable to Abba. What amazes me is how you just never get tired of hearing their music even when you've heard them umpteen times. True Legends

This is one of the best pop songs ever by any artist, a MASTER CLASS, the writing, the lyrics, the vocals, the instrumentation, the layers, the hooks, and the harmonies. It would not take much updating for another artist to make this a hit today,

There is no band like them. Only original classics! And you are fun to watch!

This is pure prog-pop with at least 4 different moods. And super smooth transitions 😍 And the horns are very much Beatles a like. It's a banger for sure

One of my favourite ever Abba songs. Very mature sounding from Abba the Album. Love it!

Agree.Not just a lovesong .Deals also with issues of agoraphobia and a girls' insecurities on opening up to a love affai."I have no friends/noone to see/and im never invited"..It's clip from "THE MOVIE"Agnetha pretends on having a talk with her phyciatrist.

Believe it or not, you still have far more great ABBA songs to discover than the amount you have listened to so far!

I listen to more ABBA now than Beatles and I grew up with both. So much more to come guys, Cassandra, Angel Eyes, and the simply stunning Put On Your White Sombrero to name but three!!

I agree with you Mike and I feel kinda odd, when I'm in the mood to do so, playing more ABBA vinyl than Beatles vinyl. Lay all your love on me, does it for me.

One of my all time favourites. This song is like three songs in one. Brilliant! 💗💗💗💗

This is one of my favorite ABBA songs, so many styles wrapped into five minutes of heaven! This was from 1977 The Album. Great reaction as always!!

Most unexcpected song?Abba's jukebox is full of enjoyable surprises,yet a lot to discover!

One of my ABBA favs ! This song masterfully showcased their rich and layered harmonies along with solo parts of both girls. A huge worldwide hit !

One of the most complex and brilliant songs. It's from "the album" released in 1977

This song is 🔥🔥🔥 I’m loving your ABBA reactions.

Actually, ABBA has just plenty of unexpectedly sounding songs. Their songs are so versatile that they will never stop surprising you.

This is one of my favorite ABBA songs, maybe in my top 3 honestly. If anyone ever says that ABBA is just simple pop music then show them this song! It's definitely their most complex song. It has so many different sections, I counted it to at least like 5 or 6 and they all sound so different but it still works, and the layers of vocals and the harmonies wow they're incredible. This is from ABBA: The Album and it's my favorite album because it's so unique. I love your reactions, you're so wholesome.

One of their greatest hits in the UK ( 4 weeks at no.1 in 1977). In 1996 Björn & Benny gave their permission (for the very first time) to the Fugees to sample it in the song "Rumble in the jungle". Always enjoying your ABBA reactions !

This was 1977. Middle period ABBA

I love ABBA and this one is number 1 of all their songs for me, just outstanding! The name of the game - Fred? Fred means actually peace in swedish, not so wrong anyway. Well Love or maybe Trust I prefer here. Wonderful reaction by the way. 🥰

That's why they're are cited as the most influential group of the last 2 decades, ABBAs sophisticated pop influence everyone from Katy perry to Lady gaga

Look forward to your Abba videos every week now - soo amazing to see you discovering and enjoying all these incredible songs. You guys rock and are so lovely too! You have so much more to discover and enjoy and you definitely need to listen to One of Us very soon 😎🤞 xx

This song has a kind of unique feel to it, as ABBA songs go at least, in that there's a sombre, almost melancholic undertone to it, but simultaneously it also has a air of optimism and hope as it asks the question, 'what's the name of the game?' A song about a relationship where one side is a bit puzzled/cautious but at the same time wants things to work out. Even as an 8 year old, when this first came out, I could sense that touch of sad cautiousness about the song but also the longing optimism of the chorus.

Well said. I agree. Most Abba songs have a melancholic undercurrent, unless they are full-scale sad numbers.

This is such a well crafted song, surely one of Abba's finest. I love your reaction video's, you two are really fun to watch. It's also nice to see younger people appreciate the magic of Abba, the 4 legends from Sweden! Greetings and keep up the good work

ABBA is always different,but at the same time,you can always also hear the strong ABBA sound in it. Thats one reason that makes them so unique,one of many reasons. They always bring up new melodies,new instruments in their melodies,different vocals even sometimes. All of this means that they never risk getting boring to listen to.

Just love seeing a new generation enjoying music I grew up with, it almost makes it refreshing again. But saying that, ABBAs music is always refreshing even if you've heard some tracks a million times. Liking your videos guy's P.s I saw ABBA live at Wembley Arena on November 9th 1979 just to make you envious. Keep em coming guy's Mark

"On And On And On" is another great pop song of them.

The complexities of this song are insane. In my top favourites.

OK some others to try are So Long, Hole In Your Soul, Slipping Through My Fingers, As Good As New, If It Wasn't For The Nights - all very different sounding but all essentially ABBA - by the way Name of The Game is from the 1977 album - ABBA-The Album

Many artists who get a hit song will try to copy it with similar songs. The trouble is that all their songs song alike. ABBA went out of their way to be sure to make each song different. What they didn’t realize is that in doing so, they created their own unmistakable sound, the sound of ABBA. So, even though their songs are quite different from each other, you still can tell it’s them. Simply amazing.

Fugees had this music as foundation for Rumble In The Jungle. Smooth ☺️

This is definitely one of my top 10.

Definitely in my top three ABBA songs. There's so much going on but it all ties together brilliantly. The bass-line of this was used by the Fugees with their 'Rumble In The Jungle' release. And the guitar riff is reminiscent of The Troggs 'Wild Thing'.

After "Fernando - Dancing Queen - Money-Money - Knowing Me, Knowing You" ABBA shocked many fans with "The Name Of The Game" in the sense "what they want, what should this etc". For me a deep unexpected masterpiece, perhaps not for every mood, but every time if I listen to this song, I'm so impressed, apparently inspired by US artists like Earth, Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder, before ABBA started with disco titles "Vouley Vous - Gimme Me, Gimme Me - Summer Night City" inspired by The Bee Gees, but not so successfully in the Europe charts and not released as singles in USA. I'm absolutely no disco fan, but these three titles are great. I think, Abba were disappointed and published next the conventional album "Super Trouper" with no experimental titles (I like the synthi Pop hymn "Me And You" - signpost (?) of the 80s sound). Yes ABBA have a wide music spectrum; you haven't discover them Live on stage, full passion and energy; they had rocked the halls!!!

This is a great song and the structure is actually nuts when you delve into it. I've always loved how the acoustic guitar and the drums sound, too. It's not quite up to the dizzying heights of my two Abba untouchables imho, The Visitors and Eagle, but how could it be? Damn, it almost is! I love how much you love it, too.

The fact that you 2 have such a great vibe together and you both clearly have musical knowledge yourselves plus an appreciation for the many great elements that Abba were, is especially with current world events, such a joyous thing. And fact you both still have so many great Abba songs to go yet from their extensive catalogue still to check out i.e Thank You for the Music, Honey Honey I kissed the Teacher to name just some, means plenty more to see your reactions to yet to bring some further happiness into our current cruel and sad times.

Love you guys listening to this. A whole new generation getting into ABBA. The Fugees sampled this song on their Rumble in the Jumble track from '96.

That's Sophisticated ABBA.Luv the affectionate way A's looking staight at Bjorn while doing her solo part.Seductive.

You would probably love the underrated song "When I kissed the teacher" 😍😍😍

THX ! Undoubtedly one of their most creative pieces, rich in diversity. With a slightly strange intro, a first poured bringing the chorus abba full of voices, followed by a bridge with a different verse with the voice of Frida. Always with the small melodies of Benny added behind the main brilliantly. The quintessence of abba seems to me to be in these four distinct but at the same time totally unitary parts.

This masterpiece excels in so many ways. Pure brilliance in music making.

It never gets old for me. It can be released in any era and still sounds so new.

Thank you for reacting to this song, it's one of ABBA's very very best! The harmonies are sooooo good! An extremely well crafted piece of popmusic.

‘Lay All Your Love On Me’ should definitely be next!

It's really amazing how they were so good this was a long time ago . But it's so amazing 👏

A big shout out to all the ABBA videos. They all were made by Lasse Hallström, later a famous Hollywood director.

The song comes from the album The Album. Another unexpected song from ABBA is The Piper. Wonderful reaction from you, The song you just reacted to and The Eagel are my favorites. best regards /Stefan Sweden.

I love how animated and into it you get Tyler. Such a great song.

Abba ALWAYS go 110%!

Glad you liked this, react to Soldiers next and then The Piper :)

Great reaction as always guys. That’s the brilliance and genius of ABBA..,the ability to surprise and delight with every song. Please please can you react to I’ve Been Waiting For You, it’s my all time favourite ABBA song and the wait is killing me 😂👍🤞🙏

This is my favorite ABBA song!

Plenty more surprises to come. You really got me on this one. I have never enjoyed a reaction video as much as this one. I watched every move when I knew what was coming. To see someone so young get this is exciting. Why do I care so much? IDK lol. I was not sure if this was still my favorite ABBA song, now I know it is. Pop/Rock perfection, showcasing their talent to that point. “The Name of the Game” was their next #1 after Dancing Queen in the U.K. if you want to contrast them. With “Take a Chance on Me” to follow.

Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill and Pras Michel collectively known as the hip hop trio The Fugees sampled the riff of this song in their hit track Rumble in the Jungle

06:30 Their most unexpected song is “The Way Old Friends Do” (live at Wembley) London. Nice review guys. ✌️

My favourite Abba song. Don’t know why it wasn’t more popular

This video was filmed at Bjorn and Agnetha home because Agnetha was pregnant at the time.

This was the first ABBA song I ever heard. I was 3 and my aunt owned the original 1977 press of the album, The Album.

This is their best song, period.

My fave abba song 🎵of all time . School bus yay..

"Summer Night City" is another Abba song that is quite different to the normal stuff

ABBA is wonderful ... and you guys are the best! Tyler and Marissa, you do a wonderful job of reviewing classic songs. Thank you for your videos!

ABBA is sensational, fabulous. His songs are surprises, one different from the other. It surprises everyone. wonderful ABBA.

I was 14 when I heard this song for the first time on the radio. I was so excited. Sending love from Australia.

Just found your Abba videos. Bloody loving it! Keep it up, guys

Still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end - even after all these years! A masterpiece!!

If you think this song is unexpected, then you should listen to "I Let The Music Speak". 😀

That 3:15 moment on your react was GOLD. I love seeing younger generations experience and feel these ABBA songs. You can now imagine how we felt living through that time. I was 11 going on 12 when this BRILLIANT song was released. (1980) The genius of ABBA, in pretty much invented the music 'video clip' was such a game changer. Bjorn wrote the lyrics one night when he was drunk, saying the words came easy, all within an hour. He stressed that the lyrics to this one were NOT about his and Agnetha 's divorce, because there were no winners in that situation. Great react guys, one of my favs. Blessings from South Australia 🇦🇺

Hi Graham.TNOTG was out in '77 not 1980'What you stated for Bjorn had truly happened but while writting the Lyrics on "The Winner takes it all".Loved your comment btw.

One of the few ABBA songs where you hear all four voices harmonising in the chorus.

Such a beautiful song, and yep, I'm still in love with Agnetha, the blonde one after 40 years.

ABSOLUTELY ENJOY YOUR APPRECIATION FOR ONE OF THE BEST BANDS, EVER IN HISTORY OF MUSIC.

I think it was ABBA the movie too. Excellent song...the vocals, layer's and a killer chorus

This song gives me chills.

Love your sweet reactions. ABBA were rising to the top of their game when some of us first heard this hit in 1977. Fascinating to see your first listen surprise and you actually made me cry as I could appreciate how good they really were, and still are, through your reaction. The 70s were better thanks to ABBA.

Nice video, so glad to see the youth appreciate what I grew up listening to here in Sweden Please continue reacting, and please listen to As good as new

There are no words. They are just supreme.

mid career song and you have hardly scratched surface of their brilliance

To me this is in the triumvirate of ABBA songs, along with SOS and Knowing Me, Knowing You! I love all three, almost equally. I'm SO glad that you didn't pick the shortened version of this amazing track.

I think I have to watch your video for one more time 👍

My favorite group EVER. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Once they found their sound they went on a rampage of wonderful wall of ear xtacy . It took awhile before they jelled into ear organisms .

One of the most complex song ever. Simple brilliant.

This was the blueprint song for the chairon studio in Sweden. Which produced a lot of hits for Britney Spears and Backstreet boys and many others. Lovely reaction ❣️❣️

Got to No 1 in the UK. It's in a progressive pop style such as done by English groups like 10cc, Queen, ELO. The grooviness at the start also shows the influence of American music.

So fun watching you discover ABBA. Watch the end of the Wembley concert. You'll love it.
