ABBA M.I.A

Actor Colin Firth told the gang at Collider during the recent The Toronto International Film Festival that ABBA band member Benny Andersson doesn't want a second Mama Mia! film full of only obscure ABBA songs, forcing the producers to go a different direction.

"From what I’m understanding, the people who do want to make it, are considering the possibility of using another bands music."

Benny's request makes no sense considering the phenomenal success of the entire franchise--having the band's music in in the sequel keeps them in the spotlight does it not? And provides continuity for fans--selling more music.

Besides isn't all ABBA music obscure?
