I'd like to call today's argument The Great Mamma Mia Debate. It all started with pre-dinner music requests. You see, if Big C is finished with his homework by the time I'm cooking dinner, I'll blast some music and get everyone groovin'. Typical Big C requests are Sheryl Crow or the Beatles (or country, which, unless Mr. Roller Coaster is home, is NEVER allowed). Typical Little C requests are Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and P!nk (which I definitely need to discourage once she starts asking me about the meaning of lyrics). But today, Little C requested Mamma Mia.
"Awesome choice!" I exclaimed and pulled up the Mamma Mia movie soundtrack on iTunes. (Make fun of me all you want, but I've seen that movie a dozen times, and I plan to see it a dozen more!)
I clicked on "Mamma Mia," and Little C and I immediately hit the dance floor.
"No, no, no!" yelled Big C. "Put on the OTHER Mamma Mia!"
"What other Mamma Mia?" I asked, because in my mind, there is only ONE Mamma Mia.
"You know," Big C explained. "The one where the guy sings, 'Mama mia, mama mia. Mama mia let me go!"
Ahhh, "Bohemian Rhapsody." My son had just opened another awesome debate.
ABBA?
OR
QUEEN?
(the mama mia part is at about the 3:50 mark)

Who would YOU vote for in the Great Mamma Mia debate?
