I find it funny to see these reaction videos when the new generation listen to the music I grew up with. Abba is always a guilty pleasure. I remember there were many Abba closet Abba fans because your manhood would be challenged. What goddesses Frida and Agnetha were.

The lyrics are so sweet and romantic. One does not have to worry about singing the lyrics unlike today’s music filled with curse words and the N word.

“Take A Chance On Me”

If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(That’s all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we’re together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
‘Cos you know I’ve got
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I’m alone with you
It’s magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can’t let go

If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(Come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me
Oh you can take your time baby, I’m in no hurry, know I’m gonna get you
You don’t wanna hurt me, baby don’t worry, I ain’t gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It’s magic
You say that I waste my time but I can’t get you off my mind
No I can’t let go
‘Cos I love you so

If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can’t you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can’t you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me

I preferred Frida. Frida always looked liked she was a lot of fun.

I LOVE JAMEL AKA JAMAL!

I watch and listen every Saturday while cleaning the house. He is so much fun and so full of joy. He’s the best. And, he’s decided Rush is his favorite band so I love him even more :)

I was also in the closest for Abba. I just watched SOS last night where the girls wore those really short mini skirts and go go boots.

Most people do not know Frida was a Nazi Lebensborn baby. She was bullied really bad over this in Norway as a child and her mom sent her to Sweden to start a new life. After she found game she was able to find her German father.

Yeah, but Agnatha turned out MUCH better looking.

Yes, these reaction videos are a hoot. especially when the individuals really dig the music that was part of our youth.

I think he is the best at this (a lot of people are doing these reaction videos). I know the trick they all employ is to like most things because they are requested. That gets the views up.

However, he just has that spark that makes you feel happier for watching. Watch his Doobie Brothers “Listen to the Music” as a great example of this.

I have donated to him through Patreon, simply because he is uplifting.

Trivia question;

Which Swedish group has the most number one hits? Hint. It’s not ABBA.

Roxette? Ace of Base?

Best song ever from Sweden, “Hate To Say I Told You So” by The Hives.

Exceptionally well-written music presented by an incredible band. ABBA was the best, says this Pink Floyd fan.
