Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, léase cual acrónimo ABBA, se convertirían en los 70 en el grupo de música pop y dance más vendido de la década. Y frente a las corrientes musicales anglosajonas de grupos que copan de forma regular los primeros puestos de las listas, eran dos matrimonios y venían de Suecia.
Sus canciones pegadizas han pasado a formar parte de la biblioteca musical de varias generaciones y son reconocidas mundialmente. Aunque el grupo se separara en 1982 tras las separación de ambos matrimonios, el 6 de abril de 1999 se estrenaría en Londres el musical Mamma mía! que recogía los mayores éxitos del grupo. Un musical que sigue triunfando casi catorce años después en todo el mundo. La película, con un reparto de excepción que encabezan Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Julie Walters, Amanda Seyfred y Setella Skarsgard, llegaría en 2008 y se llevaría dos globos de oro y dos Bafta, y el reconocimiento general a su protagonista Meryl Streep.
Does your mother know, interpretada en la película por Christine Baranaski (Tanya) y Philip Michael (Pepper), fue originalmente publicada en 1979 como sencillo del álbum Voulez-Vous.
You're so hot
Teasing me
So you're blue but I can't
Take a chance on a kid like you
It's something I couldn't do
There's that look
In your eyes
I can read in your face
That your feelings are driving you wild
But boy you're only a child
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out?
(Pepper)
Take it easy:
(Tanya)
Take it easy
Better slow down boy
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
(Pepper)
Take it easy
(Tanya)
Take it easy
Try to cool it boy
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
I can see
What you want
But you seem pretty young
To be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now, you're so cute
I like your style
And I know what you mean
When you give me a flash of that smile
But boy you're only a child
(Todos)
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
(Pepper)
Take it easy
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
(Todos)
Does your mother know?
(Pepper)
Take it easy
Try to cool it girl
Play it nice and slow
(Todos)
Does your mother know?
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out?
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out?
