"Super Trouper" (ABBA) in "Mamma Mia, Here I Go Again" . I have idly wondered,

when listening to it in "Mamma Mia", what it actually meant. Well, I finally learned last night, and my apologies to those who did know. "Super Trouper" refers to the follow lights on a stage, which finally makes the lyrics make total sense. And explains the powerful beam of light at the end of the second movie.

Blessings to the internet!!!

I am going to see the live stage version for the 6th time January 21, it is such a riot, front row seats. Super Trouper is a great LP.
