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.
