Twee studentikoze types die een overbekend nummer van de Zweedse groep Abba uit 1975 coveren, dat kan natuurlijk nooit wat zijn. Maar wat beleef ik een plezier aan deze heerlijke cover van Mama Mia door het Amerikaanse duo Josh Turner (banjo) en Carson McKee (gitaar), die laten zien dat ze uitstekende muzikanten zijn en aanstekelijk meerstemmig kunnen zingen. Ze spelen al sinds het begin van de middelbare school samen en noemen zich The Other Favorites.
Mama Mia
I’ve been cheated by you
since I don’t know when.
So I made up my mind,
it must come to an end.
Look at me now,
will I ever learn?
I don’t know how.
Then I suddenly lose control.
There’s a fire within my soul.
Just one look
and I can hear a bell ring.
One more look
and I forget everything. O-o-o-oh.
Mamma mia, here I go again.
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you.
Yes I was brokenhearted,
blue since the day we parted.
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know.
My my, I could never let you go.
I’ve been angry and sad
about the things that you do.
I can’t count all the times
that I’ve told you we’re through.
But when you go,
when you slam the door,
I think you know
that you won’t be away too long.
You know that I’m not that strong.
Just one look
and I can hear a bell ring.
One more look
and I forget everything. O-o-o-oh.
Mamma mia, here I go again.
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you.
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted.
Blue since the day we parted.
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know.
My my, I could never let you go.
Mamma mia, even if I say.
My my, need me now or never.
Mamma mia, it’s the game we play.
Bye bye does not mean forever.
Mamma mia, here I go again.
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you.
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted.
Blue since the day we parted.
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know.
My my, I could never let you go.
