One of my favorite Abba tunes. I don't recall the men singing on many of their hits, but they were singing "Take a chance, take a chance" in the background on this one.

Best ABBA song and one of the best of the 70s.

One of my favorite Abba tunes. I don't recall the men singing on many of their hits, but they were singing "Take a chance, take a chance" in the background on this one. The guys got the spotlight on "Does Your Mother Know?" but true that Agnetha and Frida usually had vocal features on the singles. Anyway, as far as this song... love it! Not my #1 fave of theirs but it's up there. |

I didn't bother searching because this section's so dead anyway I thought it wouldn't matter. ;) One of ABBA's biggest strengths was their ability to fuse melancholic lyrics with upbeat music and on "Take A Chance On Me", from 1977's The Album, they perfect this formula with astonishing results. Probably their biggest hit after the previous year's "Dancing Queen", this is one of my favourites by them. Pop perfection.
The video is hilarious. My favourite moment is at 2:28 when it looks like Agnetha's just finished giving a blowjob to the cameraman!  |

Beautiful song - their second biggest hit in the US (after "Dancing Queen"), it hit #3.

I've always loved this song, though the covers of this have underwhelmed me save Erasure's.

I went to the ABBA Voyage hologram show in London a couple of weeks ago and was expecting to hear this song but didn't. I wonder if the plan is for them to update the show at some point in the future and add new content, including this song.
