前些年，上映了一部美國音樂劇電影〈媽媽咪呀 / Mamma Mia〉，由梅莉‧史翠普及皮爾斯‧布洛斯南等主演。之後聽一位女網友說：『難看死了！』我回她：『那是因為妳不熟悉片中歌曲的緣故。』這部電影除了片名是來自瑞典的合唱團體ABBA在1975排行榜冠軍的同名單曲，片中所有的插曲也全都是ABBA曾發行過的歌曲。

ABBA合唱團是由二男二女的兩對夫妻於1972年組成，而團名是來自四位團員姓名的縮寫(Agnetha, Benny, Björn and Anni-Frid)。ABBA成立後連續三年參加歐洲歌唱大賽，終於在1974年以一首華麗搖滾曲風的《Waterloo / 滑鐵盧》奪魁而開始嶄露頭角，緊接著在1975再以這首《SOS》打入英國排行榜的前十名。

1975至1978應該是ABBA樂團的全盛時期，好歌連連，像是《Dancing Queen》、《Fernando》、《Mamma Mia》……，之後由於歌曲的創作主題未能迎合潮流，以及Punk曲風的掘起，樂團人氣逐漸下滑，終於在1982年解散。而如今，ABBA在許多非歐洲國家如印度、非洲和東南亞，仍然享有名氣，其歌曲也還是受到許多人的喜愛。

 

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind.

Whatever happened to our love
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
SOS
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
SOS
When you're gone (when you're gone)
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone (when you're gone)
Though I try how can I carry on

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
SOS
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
SOS
When you're gone (when your gone)
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone (when your gone)
Though I try how can I carry on

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
SOS
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
SOS
When you're gone (when you're gone)
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone (when you're gone)
Though I try how can I carry on
When you're gone (when you're gone)
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone (when your gone)
Though I try how can I carry on
