Abba - Golden Collection 2000

“Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A Man After Midnight " Is A Song By Swedish Band ABBA. It Was Recorded In August 1979 In Order To Help Promote Their North American And European Tour Of That Year And Was Released On ABBA's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 Album As The Brand New Track. The Song Was Written And Composed By Benny Andersson And Björn Ulvaeus With The Lead Vocal Sung By Agnetha Fältskog. Fältskog As The Narrator Weaves The Image Of A Lonely Woman Who Longs For A Romantic Relationship And Views Her Loneliness As A Forbidding Darkness Of Night Even Drawing Parallels To How The Happy Endings Of Movie Stars Are So Different From Her Own Existence. The Melody Line Of The Song Was Played On An ARP Odyssey Synthesizer. Originally ABBA Had Recorded Another Song "Rubber Ball Man" Which Was Planned As A Single. It Featured The Typical "ABBA-Arrangement" With Both Fältskog And Anni-Frid Lyngstad On Lead Vocals And The Use Of Classical Strings. This Song Was Also Performed By The Group During Rehearsals For Its 1979 Tour As "Under My Sun". However The Group Felt That "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" With Its Disco Sound Would Be A Better Choice And Thus "Rubber Ball Man" Remained Nothing More Than A Demo.
