Madonna admitted that she wrote a grovelling letter to Abba asking if she could sample their music on her latest single Hung Up. The singer had to seek permission to sample Gimme Gimme Gimme and became only the second act that Abba has allowed to sample their work. The Fugees used part of The Name Of The Game on their 1996 track Rumble In The Jungle.
