ABBA Star Rewrites 'Mamma Mia' To Back Swedish Election Candidate
Stockholm: "Mag-da-le-na!" The composer of legendary Swedish pop group ABBA on Sunday gave the band's hit "Mamma Mia" a campaign makeover to rally support for left-wing opposition candidate Magdalena Andersson.
"I thought, why not come and play for Magdalena?" Benny Andersson said from a piano set up at the Social Democrats' party headquarters, hours after polls opened.
The 79-year-old then launched into the melody of the famous song as supporters gathered in central Stockholm.
