ABBA: Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)

ABBA 合唱團已經解散快三十年了，但是他們的歌卻是被人一再翻唱，其中不乏國際知名的歌手（台灣的高凌風也有翻成中文來唱），但真正又紅起來是因為 1999 年開始至今的音樂舞台劇 Mamma Mia!，然後今年發行的 Mamma Mia! 電影版，由 Meryl Streep 主演，更是紅透半邊天，裡頭都是 ABBA 的歌曲重新詮釋，據報載 Mamma Mia! 電影版，英國的票房已經達英磅 6700 萬（約台幣 36 億）！

以下是 ABBA 原唱 Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!：

以下是電影版的演唱（那個女孩是其中的一位演員 Amanda Seyfried，她演 Sophie 的角色）：

Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

台灣有人代理的話，到時候大家可以去看看。有點類似我們的「海角七號」暴紅的情形。因為連 007 及哈利波特的電影都不如這部片子在英國賣座。:)
