Mamma Mia (ABBA Song)
"Mamma Mia" is a song by the Swedish pop group ABBA, written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson, with the lead vocals shared by Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. It is the opening track on the group's third album, the self-titled ''ABBA'' (1975). The song was released in September 1975 as its sixth single. The song's name is derived from Italian, where it is an interjection used in situations of surprise, anguish, or excitement. It corresponds to the English interjection " my, my!" (which can indeed be found in some lines within the song) but literally means "my mum". The song was ABBA's first number one in the UK since " Waterloo" in 1974. History and impact The distinctive sound at the start of the song is the marimba. According to biographer Carl Magnus Palm, the instrument was incorporated at the last minute, added after Benny Andersson found it in the studio and decided its "tick tock" rhythm was perfect for the track. "Mamma Mia" was written at th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''The Phantom of the Opera'' is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart, and a libretto by Lloyd Webber and Richard Stilgoe.

Maybe This Time (song)
"Maybe This Time" is a song written by John Kander and Fred Ebb for actress Kaye Ballard. It was later included in the 1972 film ''Cabaret'', where it is sung by the character Sally Bowles, played by Liza Minnelli. It had already been recorded and released twice, in similar arrangements, on Minnelli's debut studio album ''Liza! Liza!'' (1964), and subsequently '' New Feelin''' (1970), but it turned into a traditional pop standard after its 1972 inclusion in ''Cabaret''. Production Though originally written in 1964 for a different purpose, the song was put into the 1972 film version of the 1966 ''Cabaret'' musical. This is one of "two numbers that were added only in 1998, after they were used in the movie", along with "Mein Herr". Analysis ''The Telegraph'' explained that the song should have an air of "desperate hope" and that Bowles should feel like "someone teetering on the edge of despair." ''Talkin' Broadway'' said Maybe this Time' serving as Sally's internal monologue in res ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
