ABBA - GIMME! GIMME! GIMME! (A MAN AFTER MIDNIGHT)
Half Past Twelve
And I'm Watching The Late Show In My Flat All Alone
How I Hate To Spend The Evening On My Own
Autumn Winds
Blowing Outside The Window As I Look Around The Room
And It Makes Me So Depressed To See The Gloom
There's Not A Soul Out There
No One To Hear My Prayer
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight
Won't Somebody Help Me Chase The Shadows Away?
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight
Take Me Through The Darkness To The Break Of The Day
Movie Stars
Find The End Of The Rainbow With A Fortune To Win
It's So Differen't From The World I'm Living In
Tired Of Tv
I Open The Window And I Gaze Into The Night
But There's Nothing There To See, No End In Sight
There's Not A Soul Out There
No One To Hear My Prayer
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight
Won't Somebody Help Me Chase The Shadows Away?
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight
Take Me Through The Darkness To The Break Of The Day
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight
There's Not A Soul Out There
No One To Hear My Prayer
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight
Won't Somebody Help Me Chase The Shadows Away?
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight
Take Me Through The Darkness To The Break Of The Day
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight
Won't Somebody Help Me Chase The Shadows Away?
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, A Man After Midnight
Take Me Through The Darkness To The Break Of The Day
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
Producer(s): Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
This Was Arguably Abba's Most Influential Track As Its Emphasis On Electronics Made It A Very Important Record For Techno Musicians In The Post-Disco Era.
This Reached #1 In Belgium, Finland, France, Ireland And Switzerland.
Madonna's "Hung Up" Is Based On This Track, And BjÖrn Ulvaeus And Benny Andersson Are Included In Its Songwriting Credits. The Only Previous Time Abba Had Allowed One Of Their Songs To Be Sampled Was In 1996 When They Allowed The Fugees To Sample The Bass And Synthesizer Of 1977'S "The Name Of The Game" For Their 1996 Hit "Rumble In The Jungle." Madonna Begged The Abba Songwriters For Permission To Sample This Song And Sent An Emissary To Stockholm Telling Them How Much She Liked Their Music.
