This coming Saturday is the 40th anniversary of the release of Swedish pop superstars' ABBA's single "Under Attack," which was the group's final single before they released their 2021 album Voyager. I am of the firm belief that there are two types of people in the world: (1) those who love ABBA; and (2) those who lie about not loving ABBA. They crafted some of the catchiest pop music ever made. It has been scientifically proven to be the most pleasing music to people's ears made by any musician ever, or something like that.
Anyway, "Under Attack" is another catchy pop tune, but you can see how their sound was a few years out of date in 1982. Nonetheless, the song reached #26 on the UK pop charts and the Top 10 on the pop charts in Belgium, Finland, and The Netherlands.
The video is a bit soulless, as it appears the band is just going through the motions of having to film a music video at the dawn of the MTV era that would leave them in the dust.
