Yup. For those who can't wait for the DVD of MAMMA MIA: The Movie... here is the deleted "The Name of the Game" number.
As many know... this number was filmed and seen in early test screenings of the film but was taken out of the final cut/theatrical release of the film.
Enjoy!

not bad , but it kinda bothers me that the song is sung during the beginning of Gimme Gimme Gimme , I guess some could argue it is Sophie's version of "Winner Takes it All" her own personal serenade of forgiveness or whatever she is yelping about.
Obviously the film worked. But more time and more flexibility in comparison to the musical should have been in placed. I am satisfied with regards to a sequel the producers turned down the offer. It would probably be rushed and very unorganized.
But after its GIGANTIC success some sort of spin off will eventually happen. That's Commercial Entertainment for ya...
Still to this day I think many of the songs that are in the musical/movie were poor choices from the Library of songs from ABBA.

Posted: 11/5/08 at 5:37amThat's my favorite song from Mamma Mia - thanks for posting it.

Posted: 11/5/08 at 5:49amLove the song, and Amanda sounds great, but this was definitely a wise cut.

Posted: 11/5/08 at 9:21amIt's a little like she's hitting on him... it has an odd tone. It was a wise cut.

Posted: 11/5/08 at 10:30amDeena - You took the words right out of my mouth. The way it was directed and filmed set the wrong tone completely. It looked like she was trying to seduce him. It had that romantic moonlight swim feel to it.

Posted: 11/5/08 at 4:02pmgreat song but THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL is still the best song. I liked it before the show and I will like it after the show.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Posted: 11/6/08 at 10:11pmI agree that the song has a definite sexual overtone that is inappropriate. But it is very well performed.

Thanks for posting, definitly a wise cut, if they had only cut Pierce Brosnan's new horrible song...
When is the DVD coming out?

Posted: 11/6/08 at 11:16pmIf that is any indication of the voices in the film, I will not be buying the DVD. Her voice grates on my ears. I really like the stage version, but with this girl and Brosnan, I will skip the DVD entirely.

You mean to say you've been living under such an enormous rock that you've YET to listen to any of the songs from the film?
This film came out in July -- 4 months ago!
Time to crawl out from under that rock, mon ami.

Posted: 11/7/08 at 7:20amI prefer Amanda over the girl in the Original London Cast Recording.

She sounds pretty good in this, but it is so dark!
It reminds me of what somebody said about the whole ending sequence to the original "Star Trek" film (1979): "It looks like a documentary about coat hangars, shot in a dim closet."

JERRY JERRY JERRY!!!!
That is what the plot is like. Poorly written, poorly directed,
but the producers,director, ABBA will never be poor. Irony
Especially Bjorn after he won that lawsuit thing

Posted: 11/7/08 at 3:54pmI think she sounds terrible...does she warble like that throughout?

Posted: 11/7/08 at 6:30pmI also echo the thoughts about the tone being wrong.
