Six13 - Matza Mia! An ABBA Passover

MATZA MIA! A generation ago, @OfficialABBA 👩 🧔 🧔‍♂️ 👩‍🦰 captivated the world with their catchy hooks and flashy Swede-pop style. Today, they're being rediscovered everywhere from dance clubs to TIkTok. And as they say at the Seder, in EVERY generation, someone rises up to try to destroy us, but G-d delivers us from them. What if someone were to combine these two enduring phenomena? Hm...

LYRICS

Giving Thanks We're Free | Take a Chance on Me

If you just rewind
To an ancient time
We were slaves, you see
God had heard our plea
Sayin’ “Let my people go,”
Moses came to town
But the Pharaoh just said no
And the plagues came down

Feeling so alone
Bitterness was all we'd known
But we still believed
And He split the sea
Now we're no longer oppressed
God, He heard our cry
We're a nation truly blessed
Am Yisrael Chai

Giving thanks we're free
(That's all we want to do, Bubbe)
Giving thanks we're free

Jews Are Free | Dancing Queen

You can sing, you can dine
Having the four cups of wine
Ooh, eat marror, dip parsley
Now that the Jews are free

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (That Matza By Midnight) | Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)

Half past ten
It's such a long affair
There are so many prayers

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! that matzah by midnight
Find the afikoman 'cause the hour is late
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! that matzah by midnight
I want all the prizes but I can't stay awake

Matzah Pizza! | Mamma Mia!

Take one look, this meal is fit for a king
I can't cook but I can make this one thing

Matzah pizza, here we go again
My, my, every night for dinna
Matzah pizza, different kind of bread
My, my, just how much I eat ya

Yes, you have many carbs and
You tend to fall apart, but
My, my, how I love unleavened dough

Matzah pizza, you're so apropos
Just like leavin' Egypt long ago

Excellent as always. You made me reminder when I was a teenager with Abba's songs. " Matzah pizza" great. Thank you.

[RonConsumer]

Another excellent creative endeavor... however, I have not been abale to find any of the newer selections on iTunes have they band you from uploading songs???

Praying the hostages will soon be free like the rest of us.
Thank you for the video!

[if]

It's hard to celebrate that "the Jews are free", when several are not free, and are being terribly tortured for almost 200 days. Praying for them, praying for peace.

According to Rabbi Ore at ohel Nechama Jerusalem, during the Seder we have to all think of ourselves as hostages in Gaza

My children, now in their thirties, always looked forward to having matzo pizza every Pesach. They still do to this day.
