  The hooks of this song are almost overwhelming-- Is there better ear-candy than this?  This was about as good as it gets- Summer of 76, Saturday at the skating rink, 12 years old, doing the crossover in the turns at full speed, and this song blasting on the sound system.  What a time!

  I went to a friend’s wedding about 25 years ago. They made the DJ play this song twice during the reception. What I found hysterical is that it’s actually the favorite song of the GROOM, not the bride!🤣Great reaction!

  Nice one, Aileen! I was a teen in the 70's, and ABBA's music brings back great memories. Thanks for sharing another song from them.  ❤

  My mother-in-law loved ABBA, but especially loved this song.  When she was 17, she lived to dance at the clubs every weekend, or so I'm told.

  I just imagine this group of little teenie boppers so excited to go see their favorite band ABBA, dancing the nights away, having the greatest time of their or any girls&apos; young lives.<br><br>I then imagine them, 20 years later, remembering back to those nights with incredible fondness, a tear coming to their lives, sending out their own little dancing queens to keep the cycle going. &nbsp;😭😭😭😭😭♥♥♥♥♥

  This was my moms my favorite song and it&apos;s kind of crazy that you posted this on today December 31st because this date marks the 15th year she&apos;s been deceased and it made me think of how she used to dance around the house to the song thank you. 💕

  The success of ABBA was not a fluke, the whole group – not just Anni-Frid, Björn, Benny and Agneta but <i>everyone</i> – are/were incredibly good at what they did. <br><br><b>Michael B. Tretow</b> – the sound engineer. He was responsible for the &quot;wall of sound&quot; style of ABBA, using 1970s analogue sound tech to perfection to build layer on layer on layer to create that unique sound, 20-some years before everyone else did it when digital became the de facto way of working. <br><br><b>Rutger Gunnarson</b> – the bass genius that always hides in the background of the sound, but pretty much carries the songs. He also became the principal arranger, the rhythm sections in particular. <br><br><b>Polar Music</b> – the magical workshop where it happened. At the time one of the most advanced studios in Europe, custom built for ABBAs needs, and where Tretow could work his magic without being limited by lack of equipment. <br><br><b>Stig Anderson</b> – the founder of Polar Music, and the business brain that made ABBA <b>global</b> . He also co-wrote some of the early lyrics. <br><br>...and many, many more, all of them incredibly good at their craft. <br><br>So, this song – Dancing Queen – ABBA themselves said they <b>knew</b> that they had a good one of their hands. It was one of their longest projects, lasting almost a <b>year</b> so it is more or less <i>engineered</i> to get into your brain. It was their first pivot into disco, so they wanted it to be good. And... well... you have heard the result!<br><br>Also, fun fact: it was played at the wedding reception of Sweden&apos;s current monarch.
