It’s a Jazz cover of ’Gimme Gimme Gimme (a man after midnight)’ by Abba. “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. History “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)“ 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 young 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.[citation needed] The melody line of the song was played on an ARP Odyssey synthesizer.[3] The song was recorded at Polar Music Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, in August 1979, and was ready for release in October of that year, in conjunction with the group’s tour of North America and Europe. 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 Reception “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)“ was another highly successful song for ABBA. It hit no. 1 in Belgium, Finland, France, Ireland, and Switzerland, while reaching the Top 3 in Austria, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Norway. It also proved to be ABBA’s most successful song in Japan, hitting no. 17. Lyrics: Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) ABBA Half past twelve Watchin’ the late show In my flat all alone How I hate to spend the evening on my own Autumn winds blowin’ 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 On end of the rainbow With a fortune to win It’s so different 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 one 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…
