SNL Imagines ABBA Singing Christmas Hits—and It’s Comedy Gold
Saturday Night Live (SNL) imagines ABBA singing Christmas hits, and it’s comedy gold. The popular, long-running sketch program envisions what Christmas songs performed by the Swedish disco-era group might sound and look like. Watch the short but hysterical SNL skit to hear how ABBA would likely perform Christmas songs.
Christmas is, undoubtedly, the most excellent time of the entire year. Anyone who believes otherwise would likely find it difficult to devise any sufficient or acceptable arguments against Christmas. Except for the typical cold and frosty weather conditions, Christmas has a lot going for it, much more than any other holiday, that’s for sure.
One of the reasons Christmas tops every other holiday is the numerous traditions associated with it. Many of those traditions often include listening to and watching the same movies, television specials and songs. Yes, we are more than familiar with them, but it’s that familiarity, along with the nostalgia and memories attached to them that makes those movies and songs so special.
But what would happen if those beloved songs got a twist, a remake? For instance, in a clip posted on YouTube, SNL envisions how those Christmas tunes would sound if ABBA were to sing them. The results are hilarious, and likely pretty accurate.
The first song they perform is entitled “Fa La La,” which sounds very much like “Mamma Mia” and, according to the clip, is “sung with their signature standing close, facing different directions” positioning. Of course, anyone familiar with the group will immediately recognize this.
But that isn’t the only Christmas-themed song performed in this odd, very ABBA-esque manner. They crack up the studio audience with one about “gifts for me, gifts for you.”
How any of the actors were able to do this while keeping a straight face is beyond me. Most people would have immediately started laughing, which Kristen Wiig looks to be on the verge of doing early in the clip, but she’s somehow able to keep it together.
Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”
