Wenn du es dir anders überlegst (wag es) (wag es, wag es) Ich bin die Erste in der Schlange
Schatz, ich bin noch frei (wag es)
Gib mir eine Chance (wag es, wag es)
Wenn du mich brauchst (wag es, wag es)
Sag Bescheid, ich bin für dich da (wag es)
Wenn du nirgendwo hin kannst, wenn du traurig bist (wag es)
(Wag es, wag es, wag es)
(Wag es, wag es, wag es)
Wenn du ganz allein bist, wenn die schönen Vögel weg sind
Schatz, ich bin noch frei, gib mir eine Chance
Ich werde mein Bestes geben, das ist kein Scherz
Wenn du mich auf die Probe stellst, wenn du mich es versuchen lässt
Gib mir eine Chance
(Das ist alles, worum ich dich bitte, Schatz)
Gib mir eine Chance
Wir können tanzen gehen (oh-oh), wir können spazieren gehen (Ja)
Solange wir zusammen sind
Musik hören (oh-oh), vielleicht einfach nur reden (ja)
Dich besser kennenlernen
Denn du weißt, ich habe
so viel vor
Wenn ich träume, ich bin allein mit dir, ist es magisch
Du willst, dass ich es dabei belasse
Angst vor einer Liebesbeziehung
Aber ich glaube, du weißt
dass ich dich nicht loslassen kann
Wenn du deine Meinung änderst, bin ich sofort wieder da
Schatz, ich bin noch frei, gib mir eine Chance
Wenn du mich brauchst, sag Bescheid, ich bin für dich da
Wenn du nirgendwo hin kannst, wenn du traurig bist
Wenn du ganz allein bist, wenn die schönen Vögel weg sind
Schatz, ich bin noch frei, gib mir eine Chance
Ich werde mein Bestes geben, das ist kein Scherz
Wenn du mich auf die Probe stellst, wenn du mich es versuchen lässt
Gib mir eine Chance
(Komm schon, lass mich in Ruhe, ja?)
Gib mir eine Chance Ich
Oh, lass dir Zeit, Baby (oh-oh), ich hab's nicht eilig (yeah). Du weißt, ich krieg dich (du weißt, ich krieg dich). Du willst mich nicht verletzen (oh-oh), Baby, keine Sorge (yeah). Ich lass's nicht zu (ich lass's nicht zu). Lass mich dir jetzt sagen: Meine Liebe ist stark genug, um auch in schwierigen Zeiten zu bestehen, sie ist Magie. Du sagst, ich verschwende meine Zeit, aber ich kriege dich nicht aus dem Kopf. Nein, ich kann dich nicht loslassen, denn ich liebe dich so sehr. Wenn du deine Meinung änderst, bin ich sofort wieder da. Schatz, ich bin noch frei, gib mir eine Chance. Wenn du mich brauchst, sag Bescheid, ich bin für dich da. Wenn du nirgendwo hin kannst, wenn du traurig bist, wenn du ganz allein bist, wenn die schönen Vögel weg sind, Schatz, ich bin noch frei, gib mir eine Chance. Ich werde mein Bestes geben, Baby. Siehst du es denn nicht?
Stell mich auf die Probe, gib mir eine Chance.

(Gib mir eine Chance, gib mir eine Chance, gib mir eine Chance.)

The Erasure version is way better :)

Yuck. 

Making me smile and boogie.

Chapeau Bill!

To Spotify ? Hahahahahahahah, run mister, run ! 

Grandma used to dance and sing along to this while painting Father Matt's log cabin camp (me and my sister helped Gran and Gramps do the painting) Good bluegill fishing on that lake. Other than that fun memory, never was a huge fan, but not a hater, though I can see it.

Who needs logics, Bill, to play Abba :)
Merciiiiii

Definitely include a few of these throwbacks, Bill!  It helps RP feel spontaneous and keep the playlists from being too stuffy.  Some good memories of the old days.

I think the Erasure version might be a good choice here...

Thank you for this!

More ABBA please William.  Classic 10/10 pop. 

A fun pop number is always welcomed.  Especially on the Main Mix.

what R U doing? 

I logged back in to rate this a 9 and to compliment William and crew for having the guts to play a much loved pop song on their eclectic station 

There was a time when pop music was written by artists who played their own instruments and didn't need autotune. ABBA were legends, and even for a classic rock kid who didn't like disco, ABBA was unique and amazing enough to pull me in with their catchy tunes and voices.

Anyway, I called an Uber for you, and it's outside right now waiting to take you back to Spotify.

ABBA is Muzak to my ears. But at least with Muzak we had the fun of guessing which pop or rock song their orchestra was covering.  No, stop taking a cha cha chance that I'll ever like an ABBA song.

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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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

This is exactly why I listen to RP.  Not afraid to play anything.  Plus, ABBA is pretty good for what they are.  Vocals are completely unchallenged by crap these days.

Haaahaaahaahhaaa!!! I love it. I had to double-check to make sure I was still listening to RP. My parents used to blast ABBA back in 70's -- fun to hear a song that floods brain with memories.... as many songs do as one gets older.

Radiohead followed by Vivaldi. Perfect. Now what to follow that up with? Of course, ABBA "Take a Chance on Me".  I'll glady keep taking my chances with RP.

When my sister and I were very young, we used to pretend to be Abba. 

Okay, literally almost Rottweilered my drink - Vivaldi to ABBA.  I am in awe.  Also should probably clean up at bit.  Slan!

Puke 🤮

I give this a 7 for nostalgia, and to have it randomly pop up in the car. 

Knock it off, Bill!  I'm trying to work!

WTF.  Pop shit. This station is going downnnnnnn. Back to Spotify.

PLEASE KILL IT BEFORE IT LAYS EGGS! IT WAS SCHLOCK THEN, IT'S STILL SCHLOCK

My wife is dancing (with here cat 🐱)

I'd really like to hear a version with a tuba playing. oompah , oompah 

"SOS" is the best. 10.

I love Abba.. they are pure unadulterated pop.

Two songs I would recommend that hold up especially well:

The Winner Takes it All
What's the Name of the Game

Need to play this one now that you've stepped over the line.

buah... i hate abba
