About the song "Dancing Queen"

[May. 31st, 2013| 12:23 am ]

abbafan club

One of ABBA's most famous songs, Dancing Queen, is one of the band's most amazing songs in terms of the different melodies it plays and the way they mix, making them almost inaudible to the ear, but their absence is clearly audible in all cover versions. Dancing Queen is also one of those songs that doesn't sound like guitar or piano at all, most evident in Benny Andersson's performance of this song on piano with amateur vocals in the video "Dancing Queen - LIVE with Benny Andersson".

When recording this song for the film Mamma Mia, where the musicians were former members of the ABBA band, including Benny Andersson himself, the song was mixed in such a way that what was not heard by the ear before was brought to the fore.
Artistic description of song structure

1. The main instrumental theme with which the song begins, after the piano introduction.

The melody itself is extremely simple, consists of four notes, but not a single performer managed to reproduce it one by one. Moreover, in the Spanish-language version of this song, ABBA herself did not do this. We can assume that only because of the time, because the mixing of the main version took more than 6 months.
In this melody, most likely, several dozen string instruments sound simultaneously along with synthesizers of that time, mixed and overdubbed several times. But what matters most is the intonation of the voices of all the band members, which is very audible when the recording is played with the karaoke function (Channel Mixer), which made it possible to create the Dancing Queen Instrumental video.
The first piano part, which sounds throughout this theme, is also very simple (A, D), but setting the rhythm, it does not completely pull the blanket over itself and is heard as a background in the background. However, if you listen to this melody on the video "Dancing Queen Instrumental", the sound of the piano changes completely and it becomes clear what level of work was done by the sound engineer.
The second piano part, consisting of three chords (AA, EE, DD) sounds throughout the song and is the very “hook” that allows you to recognize this song even when performed by drums alone. Unlike the part of the first piano, it is brought to the first place, and significantly processed.
The rhythm guitar part is interesting because it is not heard throughout the song, it is played on simple chords and processed with minor effects. It can be heard on the recording video for this song and on the mixing video.

2. The phrase “You can dance, you can jive”

If you listen to this fragment in an instrumental performance or with a filtered voice, it becomes clear why words played on two identical notes evoke the feeling of a melody tending to rise. The stringed instruments in the background do just that. This technique will be used later in the same verse during the performance of the words "having the time of your life". You can clearly hear it in the videos of Dancing Queen Instrumental and Dancing Queen [Mamma Mia The Movie] Instrumental.

3. The phrase "having the time of your life"

ABBA's sound engineer Mikke Tretow on the video "The mixing of Dancing Queen" brought out this fragment in voice performance, without any instruments. Feeling that one melody is moving in different directions. It is played very well in the performance of this song by pianist Richard Clayderman, where in the first part of the song the voice theme is performed, as in the original, and in the second part the instrumental theme is brought to the fore, and the voice almost does not sound. Surprisingly, the feeling that something was removed from the song does not appear.

4. Musical break after the words "Friday night and the lights are low"

Interesting in that it is also played simultaneously with the final chords of the "Hook" - the second piano part (AA, EE, DD) on DD chords. Most clearly heard in the Spanish version of the song after the words "Reina al fin toda juventud" (young and sweet, only seventeen).

5. Piano instrumental during the phrase "With a bit of rock music, everything is fine"

Played on an E chord and almost duplicates the notes of the phrase "You're in the mood for a dance", but in a lower key . Richard Clayderman performed the most successful underlining of these fragments.

6. Break after the words "And when you get the chance"

Most cover artists start this break very well, but at the words "You are the Dancing Queen" they either take it away or drown it out, so in the worst case this moment may sound outright false.
It can be heard most clearly when listening to the video Dancing Queen [Mamma Mia The Movie] or Dancing Queen Instrumental.

7. Final break during the sound of the main theme at the end of the melody.

Sounds throughout the song after playing the "Hook" - a sequence of chords (AA, EE, DD). In the original version of 76, it is completely lost against the background of other instruments and is more likely to be guessed. In the video, you can hear the members of the band perform it with their voice. In the Spanish-language version, the fragment that sounds after "Friday night and the lights are low" is displayed in the first place, so it is impossible to hear it.
In both the musical and film version, Mamma Mia is brought to the fore, which makes the song sound in a completely different way.
