Like a majority of ABBA songs, "Dancing Queen" is relatively straight-forward; it's about a seventeen-year-old girl having a good time on a Friday night. She is not fazed by the social and political pressures in her daily life as a teenager on the dancefloor, and all she wants to do is dance, no matter the identity of her dancing partner. Recording Session
"Dancing Queen" recording sessions began August 4, 1975; the demo was called 'Boogaloo', and as the sessions progressed, Andersson and Ulvaeus found inspiration to the dance rhythm in George McCrae's disco classic "Rock Your Baby", as well as the drumming on Dr. John's 1972 album Gumbo. Faltskog and Lyngstad recorded the vocals on sessions in September, and the track was completed three months later.

Chart Success "Dancing Queen" spent six weeks at No.1 in the UK from September 1976 and became ABBA's only American chart-topper in April 1977.

"Dancing Queen" also made the national Top 20 in Italy and Japan. The song was re-released in the UK in 1992, as Erasure sparked an Abba revival after the success of their "Abba-esque" EP topping the UK charts.

Trivia - As ABBA started recording sessions for "Dancing Queen", they were still working their way up: none of their singles had reached No.1 or the Top 10 in the UK since their Eurovision win with "Waterloo" 15 months earlier, and interest in the group was slowly fading. But then on August 3, 1975, the video for "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" was screened on Australian television - and a week later, "Mamma Mia" was screened nationwide - leading to an immense interest for these two singles which would culminate in "Abba-mania" in Australia. In Britain, the release of "SOS" in September, returned the group to the upper part of the charts again.
- During the early recording sessions, Benny brought a tape home with the backing track on it and played it to his future wife Anni-Frid, who started crying when listening. Quote: "I found it so beautiful".
- During work on the lyrics, this part of the verse was scrapped: "Baby, baby, you're out of sight/hey, you're looking allright tonight/when you come to the party/listen to the guys/they've got the look in their eyes...".
- In recent years it has been covered by such diverse artists as U2, who performed it with original writers Ulvaeus and Andersson, and Kylie Minogue who performed it at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Featured in the 1994 film Muriel's Wedding, the song was used as the theme for idealised dreaming with the character Muriel saying early in the film that she wished her life was perfect. She always wished her life was "Dancing Queen".
- It is featured in the ABBA musical Mamma Mia!.
- Anni-Frid Lyngstad performed this song to commemorate the 50th birthday of Queen Silvia. The performance used an a cappella arrangement by The Real Group, which sang back-up for the performance. The arrangement was later released on the group's album "Varför får man inte bara vara som man är".
- "Dancing Queen" was also featured in a couple of episodes of Winter Sonata, an immensely popular Korean drama series.
- The song was featured prominently in Spike Lee's 1999 film Summer of Sam. According to Lee, he had to personally contact ABBA and get permission to use the song, as the band were afraid that Lee was going to mock them in the movie. The song was used to ironically underscore an argument between John Leguizamo and Mira Sorvino.
- Late night talk show host Art Bell occasionally uses "Dancing Queen" as bumper music on his show. Because of this, Phil Hendrie (on his own show) always uses "Dancing Queen" as his bumper music for bits in which he plays Bell.
- In one episode of That 70s Show, when Hyde and Jackie recount how they initially became romantic, Jackie began to reminisce about how they first danced together to "Dancing Queen." Upon hearing this, Hyde stops the story, saying: "Hold it. I do not listen to Abba."
- During the 2007 Houston Art Car Parade, a former school bus which houses a dance floor, disco balls, and rope lights rolled as The Dancing Queen - the song was played on the bus, along with 70s disco hits.
- The song is occasionally performed by the Queen's military band (as part of an ABBA medley) during the changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London.
- In the final episode of the TV show Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law, the song's melody accompanies Phil Ken Sebben's backwards drive back to California from "The Most Eastern Point In The USA".
- The song was sung by "Ms. Swan" durning a skit on Mad TV
- In the episode My Mirror Image of TV sitcom Scrubs the song is played on JD's deck when a bunch of gay seniors is having a party there.
