Mamma Mia

26 Sep 2010 - ABBA stars Bennie Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaes have threatened to sue the right-wing Danish Peoples' Party (DF) for using their song Mamma Mia during their political rallies. They say the band has never given permission to use the song. The youth movement of the DF had changed the lyrics of the song in honor of the DF leader Pia Kjaersgaard. Bjorn Andersson said he only found out about the usage of the song when he was contacted by a left-wing pressure group who asked whether he supported the DF's policies. Mr. Andersson said the ABBA duo had asked their lawyers to start legal action against the party. "Firstly, you cannot just rewrite songs as you like and secondly, we want to make absolutely clear that we have no interest in supporting their party," Mr. Andersson said. Universal Music later said no legal action would be taken as an agreement to stop using the song had already been reached.
