  1. They are form the south of Sweden where people speak a lot of Italian. /


  2. They are a very international singing group and reflect culture from all over the world.

  3. They didn't do many songs in Swedish, but in English and happened to use an Italian term as well "mamma mia"

  4. The thing is that "mamma mia" is a Swedish expression (as well as an Italian one). It's used in about the same way as "Oh my god!" in English.

    Example:

    "Mamma mia, vad tungt pianot var!"

    Translation:

    "Oh my god! That was one heavy piano!"

    I think they used it because it's exotic and at the same time international.
