"'''Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)'''" is a song by Swedish recording group [[ABBA]]. A [[disco]] song, it was first recorded in August 1979 to promote the group's North American and European concert legs of [[ABBA: The Tour]]. It was released on 12 October 1979 as the sole single taken from their second greatest hits album ''[[Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (ABBA album)|Greatest Hits Vol. 2]]'' (1979). [[Agnetha Fältskog]] sang the lead vocals to the song.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-03-28 |title=Who sings which song? |url=https://abbaomnibus.com/songs/who-sings-which-song/ |access-date=2025-05-09 |website=ABBA Omnibus |language=en}}</ref> Although it was not recorded for it, "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" was included in reissues of the group's sixth studio album ''[[Voulez-Vous]]'' (1979).

The track went on to become one of ABBA's signature hits, topping the charts in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, and Japan's international chart, and reached the top ten in multiple countries across Europe and Australia as well. Its release in the United States and Canada was cancelled by [[Atlantic Records]] even though promotional copies were already pressed,<ref>{{Cite web |title=ABBA — Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) (US Promotional Copy) |url=https://www.discogs.com/release/3476899-ABBA-Gimme-Gimme-Gimme-A-Man-After-Midnight |access-date=9 May 2025 |website=[[Discogs]]|date=1979 }}</ref> presumably due to the unpopularity of disco as a whole in the US following [[Disco Demolition Night]].

==Background==
"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 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 existence. The melody line of the song was played on an [[ARP Odyssey]] synthesizer.<ref>{{cite magazine|first= John |last= Twells |title= The 14 most important synths in electronic music history – and the musicians who use them |magazine= [[Fact (UK magazine)|Fact]] |date= 15 September 2016 |access-date= 2 June 2019 |url= https://www.factmag.com/2016/09/15/14-most-important-synths/}}</ref>

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.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}

The song came about after Benny and Bjorn heard [[Donna Summer]]'s hit [[Hot Stuff (Donna Summer song)|Hot Stuff]], and upon hearing it, it inspired the riffs, melody and sentiment of the song with Agnetha yearning for 'a man after midnight' whilst Donna was in need of some 'hot stuff'

=== Single version ===
{{more sources|section|date=February 2022}}
The single version of this song, which was released in its full length of 4:48 everywhere else in the world, was released in the United States and Canada in an edited format, being just 3:36 in length. This was done by removing the first half of the opening instrumental, the first four of the eight bars of the instrumental bridge between the second and final chorus, and fading the song out early. It is believed{{by whom|date=June 2019}} the edit was done by [[Atlantic Records|Atlantic]], ABBA's North American record label and not Polar, hence the reason why it was available only in the US and Canada. This single version has never appeared on any commercial CD issued by Polar/Universal to date and along with the US promo edit of "[[Chiquitita]]", it marked the only time Atlantic ever commercially released an edited version of an ABBA single while they had the North American rights to release ABBA recordings.

As of September 2021, it is ABBA's tenth-biggest song in the UK, including both pure sales and digital streams.<ref>{{cite web|first= Rob |last= Copsey |title= ABBA's Official Top 20 biggest songs |publisher= [[Official Charts Company]] |date= 2 September 2021 |access-date= 20 September 2021 |url= https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/abbas-official-top-20-biggest-songs__26113/}}</ref>

The single was never released by Polar Music in the group's native Sweden, instead being featured on the ''[[Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (ABBA album)|Greatest Hits Vol. 2]]'' album, which did get a Swedish release. While Polar released the single in neighbouring Norway, Denmark, and Finland, copies of these versions were not made available in the Swedish record stores, who thus arranged to import copies of the United Kingdom version on Epic Records. Sales of these imports were sufficient for the single to reach no. 16 on the sales chart in Sweden.

On October 4, 2024, "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" was reissued digitally as a promotional single for the compilation album ''The Singles: The First Fifty Years''. This release was accompanied by a [[Dolby Atmos]] remix of the song (the third ABBA release to receive this treatment, after "[[Waterloo (song)|Waterloo]]" and ''[[Voyage (ABBA album)|Voyage]]'') and a new 4K remaster of the music video.<ref>{{Cite web|title='Gimme!

===Spanish version===
"'''¡Dame! ¡Dame! ¡Dame!'''" is the Spanish-language version of the song. The song was released as a single to promote ''[[Gracias Por La Música (album)|Gracias Por La Música]]'' in Latin America and other Spanish-speaking countries.

== Reception ==

=== Critical ===
''[[Cashbox (magazine)|Cash Box]]'' called it "another exercise of sparkling [[Europop|euro-pop]], with the slightest hint of boogie bottom to give the song an edge."<ref> {{cite magazine|title= Singles Reviews > Singles to Watch |magazine= [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date= 16 February 1980 |volume= XLI |issue= 40 |page= 18 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/80s/1980/CB-1980-02-16.pdf}}</ref> ''[[Record World]]'' noted the track's "captivating chorus hook".<ref>{{Cite news |date=February 16, 1980 |title=Single Picks: Pop |work=[[Record World]] |location=[[New York, NY]] |page=48 |volume=36 |issue=1699 |issn=0034-1622}}</ref>

It hit no. 1 in Belgium, Finland, France, Ireland, and Switzerland, while reaching the top 3 in Austria, West Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Norway. It also proved to be ABBA's most successful song in Japan, hitting no. 17.

"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" was [[A-Teens]]' third single (fourth in other territories) from their first album ''[[The ABBA Generation]]'', a collection of [[ABBA]] cover versions. The song was remixed for its single release. The single became their third top-10 hit in Sweden, where it earned a [[Music recording sales certification|gold certification]].<ref name="glf"/> The song was also recorded in Spanish.

===Music video===
The music video was directed by Sebastian Reed and filmed in Sweden. The video uses the remixed radio version. The video starts with the boys entering a [[warehouse]], where they find a crystal ball. Inside, there is an "alternate world" where they perform the song. Part of the video also features the band at a [[bowling alley]] where they [[bowling|play a few games]] against each other.

In 2001, the song was covered by the first edition of the French TV reality show ''[[Star Academy (French TV series)|Star Academy 1]]''. The song was credited to [[Olivia Ruiz]], [[Jenifer (singer)|Jenifer Bartoli]] and Carine Haddadou, three of the contestants. This version went straight to no. 1 in France, dislodging Star Academy's previous hit, "[[La Musique|La Musique (Angelica)]]", and stayed atop for two weeks.

"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" was the first single released from the [[Mamma Mia! The Movie Soundtrack Featuring the Songs of ABBA|soundtrack]] for the 2008 film version of ''[[Mamma Mia! (film)|Mamma Mia!]]'' by American actress [[Amanda Seyfried]], who plays Sophie in the film. In the film, only the chorus is sung while the rest of the song is instrumental, much like the original stage play. On the soundtrack, Seyfried sings the complete song as a solo performance, and also does the same in a [[music video]] to promote the movie. The version on the soundtrack is a minute shorter than the version featured on the film's tie-in website.<ref>{{cite web|title= Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

American singer and actress [[Cher]] covered the song on her album ''[[Dancing Queen (album)|Dancing Queen]]'', released on 28 September 2018. Cher's version is the lead single on the album.<ref>{{cite magazine|title= Cher to Release New Album 'Dancing Queen' Next Month |magazine= [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date= 9 August 2018 |access-date= 16 August 2018 |url= https://variety.com/2018/film/news/cher-to-release-new-album-dancing-queen-next-month-1202900495/}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|first= Rhian |last= Daly |title= Cher teases 'Gimme!

Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" was premiered through Cher's official YouTube channel on 9 August 2018. An extended version of the track was later released on 14 September 2018.<ref>{{cite web|title= Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) [Extended Mix] |website= [[Qobuz]] |access-date= 16 September 2018 |url= https://www.qobuz.com/fr-fr/album/gimme-gimme-gimme-a-man-after-midnight-extended-mix-cher/hjkhfhv17rggc |language= fr}}</ref> The song peaked at number 4 on the [[Hot Dance Club Songs]] chart.

===Critical reception===
Writing for ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', Brittany Spanos felt that "working with producer Mark Taylor who helped seal Cher's legacy with the game-changing "[[Believe (Cher song)|Believe]]" in the late [[1990s in music|Nineties]], she finds subtle changes that update ABBA classics without totally stripping them of the catchiness that made those songs beloved hits well beyond their heyday. "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)", "[[SOS (ABBA song)#Cher version|SOS]]" and "[[Mamma Mia (ABBA song)|Mamma Mia]]" are given just enough of a knob turn that they're transformed from upbeat [[FM radio]] [[Pop music|pop]] into [[Club music|club]] bangers, pulsating with every beat."<ref>{{cite magazine|first= Brittany |last= Spanos|title= Review: Cher Lovingly Updates ABBA's Hits on "Dancing Queen" |magazine= [[Rolling Stone]] |date= 13 October 2018 |access-date= 13 October 2018 |url= https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/review-cher-dancing-queen-abba-mamma-mia-730316/}}</ref>

==Other notable covers==

===BNB version===
In 2008, the song was covered in a [[jazz]]/[[Lounge music|lounge]] style by American group BNB on its album ''Bossa Mia: Songs of ABBA''.<ref>{{cite news|title= Bossa Mia, the music of ABBA |newspaper= [[The Manila Times]] |url= http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2008/jan/09/yehey/life/20080109lif4.html |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081205035323/http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2008/jan/09/yehey/life/20080109lif4.html |archive-date= 5 December 2008}}</ref>

=== Arkells version ===
Canadian [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Arkells]] have covered the song during their live shows. In 2023, they released a studio recording of the cover.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brooklyn |date=April 20, 2023 |title=Arkells release studio cover of ABBA's "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" |url=https://www.chez106.com/2023/04/20/arkells-release-studio-cover-of-abbas-gimme-gimme-gimme/ |access-date=2024-03-18 |website=[[CHEZ-FM|CHEZ 106]]}}</ref>

===Molly Sandén version===
Swedish pop singer [[Molly Sandén]] released a version of the song in April 2024, following a live performance on [[Sveriges Television|SVT]]'s ''En Fest för ABBA'' (A Party for ABBA) concert, celebrating the 50th anniversary of ABBA's [[Eurovision]] win.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://scandipop.co.uk/song-molly-sanden-gimme-gimme-gimme-a-man-after-midnight/ |title=SONG: Molly Sandén – 'Gimme!

===Unix/Linux Easter egg===
The [[Unix]]/[[Linux]] computer operating system command line utility "man" for displaying [[man page|manual pages]] would print "gimme gimme gimme" when run without arguments on 00:30 (as the opening lyrics of the song are "half past twelve").<ref name="Register">{{cite web|title= 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' Easter egg in man breaks automated tests at 00:30 |website= [[The Register]] |date= 22 November 2017 |access-date= 3 December 2017 |url= https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/22/gimme_gimme_gimme_in_linux_breaks_automated_tests/}}</ref> The [[Easter egg (media)|Easter egg]] has been removed since version man-db 2.8.0 after it had been discovered as an annoyance in a software automatic test system on 20 November 2017 and brought to broad attention on the [[Stack Exchange]] Q&A network site dedicated to Unix & Linux.<ref name="Register" />

===Sampling===
In 2005, the song was [[Sampling (music)|sampled]] by [[Madonna]], who used it on her worldwide hit single "[[Hung Up]]" from ''[[Confessions on a Dance Floor]]''. Madonna is said to have sent a letter to [[Benny Andersson]] and [[Björn Ulvaeus]] asking to use the song as a sample,<ref>{{cite news|title= Madonna 'begged' ABBA for sample |work= [[BBC News Online]] |date= 18 October 2005 |access-date= 27 April 2014 |url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4354028.stm}}</ref> since the Swedish songwriting duo are reluctant to let other artists sample their material. It was only the second time that an ABBA track had been officially sampled, the first being the [[Fugees]] in 1996 with their hit "[[Rumble in the Jungle (song)|Rumble in the Jungle]]", sampling part of 1977's "[[The Name of the Game (ABBA song)|The Name of the Game]]".

[[Ava Max]] "subtly sample[d]" the song in her 2019 single "[[Torn (Ava Max song)|Torn]]".<ref>{{cite magazine|first= Nicholas |last= Hautman |title= Ava Max Shows Promise on Anthem-Filled Debut Album 'Heaven & Hell': Review |magazine= [[Us Weekly]] |date= 17 September 2020 |access-date= 21 July 2021 |url= https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/ava-max-shows-promise-on-debut-album-heaven-hell-review/}}</ref> Max stated that she listened to ABBA and [[Ace of Base]] during her childhood, and wanted to "add a little disco flair in there".<ref>{{cite web|first= Anna Sky |last= Hulton |title= Ava Max opens up about her song 'Torn' and dealing with bullies |work= Hits Radio |publisher= [[Hits Radio]] |date= 27 September 2019 |access-date= 21 July 2021 |url= https://planetradio.co.uk/hits-radio/entertainment/celebrity/axa-max-hits-interview/ |url-status= live |archive-date= 1 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191001151509/https://planetradio.co.uk/hits-radio/entertainment/celebrity/axa-max-hits-interview/}}</ref>
