MURIEL'S WEDDING


There is alot more than ABBA on this soundtrack but for an ABBAnatic the real find is Bridal Dancing Queen, an instrumental version of the classic dance track. It is performed by The Wedding Band featuring Blazey Best and sums up the film beautifully with hope and strings.Fernando, which actually plays a big part, musically, in the film is not included on the soundtrack.


1. Bridal Dancing Queen (edited version)
The Wedding Band featuring Blazey Best

2. Sugar Baby Love
This 1974 song by The Rubettes is bouncy and breezy; just the flavor you would expect from an album that contains ABBA songs. It is the first sound you hear upon the movie's opening.

3. We've Only Just Begun
Don't you just love Karen Carpenter's voice! If I have time after Bette Midler and Heart, The Carpenters will be my next page. (I don't remember hearing this in the film though.)

4. Lonely Hearts
The Wedding Band

5. The Tide Is High
A classic Blondie hit but I remember Little Girl Lies best. Muriel's nemesis, Tania, and her co-horts perform the lip-sync version of this song in the film.

6. Waterloo
ABBA - What can I say that hasn't already been said?

7. I Go To Rio
This version is performed by Peter Allen (who also co-wrote the song with Adrienne Anderson.) but some might remember the hit version by Pablo Cruise.

8. Bean Bag
The Wedding Band featuring John Barrett is the music behind Muriel's first attempt at a sexual encounter.

9. T-Shirt & Jeans
Razorbrain

10. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
Dusty Springfield's hit version of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song is still toasty. (I don't remember hearing this in the film either.)

11. Bridal Dancing Queen (full version)
The Wedding band featuring Blazey Best - This is the one!

12. I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do
ABBA - You'll love this song's placement in the film.

13. Happy Together
This 60s tune from The Turtles is another song that was not in the film.

14. Muriel's Wedding
The Wedding Band

15. Dancing Queen
ABBA - This is Muriel's favorite song. "My life is as good as an ABBA song; my life is as good as Dancing Queen."
