Thank you for the music


Well this next ABBA song " Thank you for the music " was originally recorded in 1977. And this is probably as popular if not more than " Dancing Queen " or " Take a chance on me ". Agnetha is the main singer in this particular song, which would make sense... since in the song it says " I am the girl with golden hair... ". ABBA performed Thank you for the music... several times through out the late 70's till the early 80's. One of the other pop groups that sang it were " The Carpenters ". This version, is a live version from their 79-80 tour. Here's the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zqX-z1v_ZU . Hope you guys like it.

Oh, and before I go... please check Steve's pod-casts at http://www.muppetcast.com/ . The next post will be of the song " Dancing Queen ", the site's signature title.

Sorry for the delay


Sorry for not posting for like 7 or so days on here. I had some family fly down to visit this last week, and since yesterday I've been visiting my grandparents who live in Alabama. So enough about my family... ha ha. The 2nd song in our " 2 part unheard ABBA collection " is called " Just Like That ". I'm not really sure about the date of this song( since it wasn't actually on one their albums ), but I'm guessing it's one of their last songs. I personally think that it's a really good song, and I hope you guys like it. Here's the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHOON9p255Y .

Under my Sun


Well, since we're done with Classic ABBA... Today and tomorrow I'm going to post 2 unheard ABBA songs. The song I'm posting today is called " Under my Sun ". This song was recorded during their 1979-80 tour. Their's 2 small bloopers in it. The first one is of Bjorn counting off the group, and the second is of either Frida or Agnetha rushing during part of the song. It's rather funny... But that only lasts a second or 2. Here's the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpDY8hPHnDM . Enjoy.

Classic ABBA Finale


Well, here's the end of our four part series. Well this last edition features Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The same as Agnetha, Anni-Frid wasn't really part of any group in the 60's. Anni-Frid basically performed by herself( or a solo performer ). This particular video is a rather light one to end with, it's from the mid 60's.... It's her version of Diana Ross'es " Baby Love ". Here's the link

Classic ABBA Part 3


Like I said earlier, Benny was a member of the Swedish pop group " The Hep Stars " in the late 60's. The video clip in this addition of Classic ABBA, is titled " I natt jag dromde ". Most of their songs were kind've up beat, sourt've like " The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc. ". But this song is one of their more quieter ones. Here's the link... http://www.youtube/watch?v=cOxyHIUnETY&mode=related&search . I hope you guys like it.

Classic ABBA Part 2


For awhile in the late 60's, Agnetha performed with a folk music group similar to Bjorn's. But most of the time in late 60's she just performed as a single instead of with a group. And the video I have in this new addition of Classic ABBA, is one of her solo songs from 1969. When she was only 19 yrs. old. Pretty impressive huh? This song is also in Swedish, the title is " Nu Ska Vi Opp, Opp, Opp ". Here's the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yINoi3zS6VU . I hope you guys like it.
