ABBA - When I Kissed The Teacher

"When I Kissed The Teacher" by ABBA is a playful and catchy pop song that captures the excitement and innocence of young love. Released in 1976, this track showcases the group's signature harmonies and upbeat melodies, making it a delightful addition to their extensive catalogue and a favourite among fans.

Lyrics:
Everybody screamed
When I kissed the teacher
And they must have thought they dreamed
When I kissed the teacher
All my friends at school
They had never seen the teacher blush, he looked like a fool
Nearly petrified 'cause he was taken by surprise

When I kissed the teacher
Couldn't quite believe his eyes
When I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath, the world stood still
But then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher

One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright

I was in a trance
When I kissed the teacher
Suddenly I took the chance
When I kissed the teacher
Leaning over me
He was trying to explain the laws of geometry
And I couldn't help it
I just had to kiss the teacher

One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care
Gonna teach him a lesson alright

What a crazy day
When I kissed the teacher
All my sense had flown away
When I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath, the world stood still
But then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher

(I wanna hug, hug, hug him) when I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him) when I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him) when I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him) when I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)

I'm 50, so even though our music preferences might differ due to our age, I definitely appreciate your perspective. There's nothing quite like vinyl; it offers a richness of sound that digital formats often can't match. Vinyl can capture a wider range of tones simultaneously, unlike the limited frequency range of today's 16-bit media. I also think there's something to be said for the way our ears are naturally attuned to analogue sounds rather than the sharp, digital notes.

> There is an HD remastered copy on YouTube which is much cleaner.

I'm aware of that one, but I don't recall the audio track to be better. If you have the link, I can download it and compare. Alphabet is deliberately blacklisted here for privacy and security reasons. 😉

@Spirillen Not all digital media is 16 bit and actually it's not the bits that is the issue bit the bits per second. 16 bits is sufficient for around 104 Db S/N, that's at least 50db better than the cleanest vinyl. But with 44 Khz sampling the highest frequency you can reproduce is half of that, 22 Khz but because of heterodyning, you get beat notes generated between the audio and half the sampling frequency, so while you can reproduce a 15Khz tone, the result includes a 7Khz beat. The audio industry just decided that there wasn't enough audio energy up there that we would notice, but I notice it particularly with percussion, cymbals in particular, turns a nice metallic resonance into so much white noise. This in my view is the primary advantage of vinyl. A secondary advantage is that digital clips hard, once you're at all one's there is no higher value, but analog tends to clip less harshly, especially old analog tape recorders and tube amplifiers. So recording engineers that didn't account for overhead did less damage to the audio with vinyl than then do with digital. That said, I have some music on DVD's recorded at 192kb/s and 24 bits and the audio quality is excellent.

New this isn't my primary field... but my years for sure the vinyl and my old amplifier over that new scrappy Denon, my 20(5) years old Sony AS50ES beats it in the amplified sound. The major diff I expect is the Sony is build for the analogue segment tape(s) and vinyl while the Crapon is build for digital devices like CD,THX ​:superOK:​​:cupup:​ ​:milk_listen:​ ​:miomusic:​ Thanks for the lesson

@Spirillen Marsupilami @Spirillen Well probably worth stating that at one time I held a 1st class radio telephone license, did broadcast engineering, at another worked at a recording studio, and then for a time did sound reinforcement work at live events, and yet another did home electronics repair at Electricraft, a high end stereo store no longer in existence. Today my main sound system consists of an old Radio Shack STA-2000 receiver which is rated at 75 watts per channel but actually measured clips at 104 watts, and JBL-S3811 studio monitors, would prefer something larger and more efficient but space limitations, still these are very flat over a very wide audio range but they are not very sensitive so that 75 watts / ch doesn't make as much sound pressure level as I would like. Secondary system consists of a heavily modified pair of Optimis T100 tower speakers, modifications include ports, originally they were not ported but had a horrid resonance at 60Hz, porting them brought that down to the high 40's, still higher than I would like, changed woofers for woofers with longer throw and bigger magnets, and a Vifa titanium dome tweeter. These don't go quite as low nor are they are flat as the JBLs and they don't have mid-ranges so they are prone to intermodulation distortion, I've got them on an Aiwa receiver that in two channel mode is 170 watts/channel, between that and the speakers being a lot more sensitive they make a lot more sound but not as high quality, primary these are for television / movies. I've got about 500 or so vinyl albums and around 3000 singles (45's) but all heavily worn so most of the music I listen to these days is digital.

nanook@friendica.eskimo.com I’ve now listened to s3XCtFHyXq0 and jGj8oM9NUZk, and to be honest, I’m not keen on the sound in either of them. They don’t do justice to the original work by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad (#ABBA).

Replacing this #musicVideo would feel wrong in my view, as it should remain true to the original film from 1977.

I admit the image is slightly better in the 4K version, but in my opinion, it’s not enough to warrant swapping it out for the original work.

s3XCtFHyXq0 = 4K
jGj8oM9NUZk = HD
