18 great Abba songs that are in neither MM nor MM2:
- Eagle
- Ring, Ring
- That's Me
- Disillusion
- On And On And On
- Cassandra
- Under Attack
- If It Wasn't For The Nights
- As Good As New
- Bang-A-Boomerang
- Gonna Sing You My Love Song
- Happy New Year
- Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)
- I Am The City
- Rock Me
- Summer Night City
- The Way Old Friends Do
- So Long [as the credits roll, Abba's best thumping rocker - all the movies' women can sing it and do Abba's own delightfully dippy choreography]
I envisage MM3 taking place in Sydney, Australia and as fusing elements of MM and Muriel's Wedding. The climax is a performance by a reunited Abba where thousands of dancers whirl and co-sing around Circular Quay and The Rocks and the Opera House and even on the Harbour Bridge to, among other tunes, an extended/rearranged version of Dance (While The Music Still Goes On). The first 5 or so songs after Eagle on the Soundtrack are set in various locales around the world as characters deal with the frustrations and dissatisfactions in their lives before heading to Aus. for the big reunion. In principle I'd also support MM3 becoming a slightly more general salute to Swedish pop genius, e.g., include a couple of Robyn songs, say, With Every Heartbeat and Hang With Me.
