Notes This has to be ABBA's happiest PROMO film!

It was filmed at the same time as the island bits for 'SOS'.
It was re-edited for the More ABBA Gold video 1993 and is available on "ABBA - The Definitive Collection" (DVD) amongst others.

The PROMOS for 'SOS', 'Bang-A-Boomerang', 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do' and 'Mamma Mia' were directed by Lasse Hallström at a combined cost of less than 50,000 Swedish Kronor.  These were the four songs that were felt to have the strongest hit potential from the 'ABBA' album and filmed with a view to promote it.

This is one of only two times (that we can find) where Björn wore his leopard-skin cape - the other being the performance of "Rock Me" on The Eddy-Go Round Show

Watch Out For Frida fluffing her lines (and knowing it) over "never use it as a selfish tool"
