DANCING QUEEN {Cover} (by Meryl Streep, Julie Walters, & Christine Baranski: Mamma Mia! movie soundtrack)

SUMMARY:                                   RUNNING TIME: 4:04 Min.

Co-stars Meryl Streep, Julie Walters, & Christine Baranski recorded this ABBA cover for Mamma Mia!’s 2008 soundtrack. 

REVIEW:

Going bolder and louder, ABBA’s signature tune energetically roars back to life.  Making the original version sound almost low-key by comparison, the trio of Streep, Walters, & Baranski sound like they’re having a blast on Ladies Night.  Impressively, the dazzling instrumentals even surpass the original’s classic sound.  Make no mistake: this cover was meant to be the movie’s first show-stopper, as this “Dancing Queen” transforms into a grand showtunes-by-committee performance. 

Consider it a mission accomplished, as the ladies (and their youthful back-up chorus) nail the song’s exhilarating party feel.  Definitely recommended!      

BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING:                   9 Stars

Note: This track easily surpasses the ensemble cast’s obligatory rehash for 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
