Andersson: 'Mama Mia! was surreal'

WENN

Benny Andersson has said that it was surreal to watch famous actors singing his songs for the soundtrack of Mamma Mia!.

The former Abba songwriter told Metro that he and ex-bandmate Björn Ulvaeus had a unique experience seeing the likes of Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth performing their hits.

Andersson said: "It was probably the most surreal moment of my life. Björn and I were on one side of the studio and on the other side were James Bond and Mr Darcy singing the chorus to 'Waterloo'.

"They were probably thinking: 'What am I doing here?'"

Andersson and Ulvaeus recently unveiled their first co-written pop songs as a partnership for over 15 years.
