Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! was A*Teens' third single (fourth in other territories) from their first album "The ABBA Generation", a collection of ABBA cover versions.
When the single came out in the winter of 1999 in Sweden, it earned Gold Certification.[1] It also became their third Top Ten hit there and the band's third top 40 hit in Germany. The song peaked at number 51 in Switzerland, number 27 in the Netherlands, number 20 in Mexico, and number 22 in Argentina and Chile.
"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" was recorded in Spanish for the Latin American promotion that started in early 2000.
[edit] Music video
The music video was directed by Sebastian Reed, and was filmed in Sweden.
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.
The video had high rotation on several music channels, but it was not as successful as the first singles.
The version of the song used on the video is the Radio Version, which is shorter and includes different beats and sounds to the album version.
