Dancing Queen

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
The song "Dancing Queen" by ABBA's Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, and Benny Andersson, portrays a story of a teenage girl who is out on a Friday night, hoping to find a place where people are dancing to good music. The lyrics describe her joy in feeling the rhythm, being swept away by the tambourine, and having the time of her life. The song invites the listener to celebrate the dancing queen who is full of life, only 17 years old, and unencumbered by anything but the moment. In the song, the dancing queen is seen as the heart of the dance floor, the shining star that draws the attention of everyone around her. The song acknowledges that anyone can be the dancing queen, that magical force that can make anyone feel alive and uninhibited. The lyrics invite people to let loose and embrace the moment, to dance and jive and feel alive.

pixie
one night I was taking a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave her made her shiver
'Cause he always used to look at me that way
And she thought maybe she should walk right up to her and say
Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotised
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Oh, no, no, no, no
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
keep thinking about his angel eyes
keep thinking
Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder does it have to be the same
Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain?
Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name?
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotised
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes

My 2 favourite bits are
#1: Sophie: I wish he was here so I can tell him
Rosie: I wish bill was here too so I can hit him!😂🤣
#2: I also love when Tanya interprets Rosie!😂🤣
Those are my favourite 2
Who is listening to this in 2021/2022?
And also who loves those two I sure do!🤣😂
Also who misses Julie Walters cuz I sure do.
Mr Susan
My favourite thing about this is how Rosie looks like she's just gone completely off script and the director is just accepting it because he knows it isn't going to get any better.
R Graham

Sarah Mc Donnell
@R Graham they were just using her characters name. Same thing
Mr Susan
