The BD version sounds interesting... recording your own commentary.

I'll be getting it for my wife for Christmas.

[Zen Peckinpah]

I've done far more embarrassing stunts (like buying Alvin and the Chipmunks for my stepdad...with his money thank God), but if my mom wants it, then I guess I'll have to get it and brave gay jokes about me buying an ABBA musical.

according to an online review of an early cut of the film 'The Name of the Game' (which is featured on the soundtrack) was part of the film:

http://www.abbamail.com/feature/2008_mammamia__movie_first_review.htm

"Back at the party, Harry manages to escape the clutches of the girls at the party and finds Sophie as he gets back on his feet from crawling under a table here there is dialogue just like in the show about wishing he had a daughter to spoil to bits and wondering if her dad was on the island and Sophie responding that she didn’t know before running off back into the party and encountering Bill who wonders how Donna got the money to build the Taverna and thinking that his Aunt Sophia’s money went to family. He then grills her on her age, then runs off down to the beach. Where through “The Name Of The Game” Sophie and Bill decide he must be her father. He volunteers to walk her down the aisle at the wedding the following day.

um, it better be somewhere on the dvd/bluray 'extras'
