Comatose Toddler Brings it Back with Disco

5/27/09 - Posted by Jennifer Hodges under International Affairs, Music

Did you know that the earth-shattering music of ABBA is powerful enough to raise the dead? Ok - that’s an exaggeration - but the Swedish Pop group’s tunes can bring children out of a coma.

After suffering a severe case of meningitis and a heart attack, three-year-old Layla Towsey’s fate looked bleak. The English toddler soon fell into a coma and was put on life support. Her mother was even faced with the heart-wrenching task of kissing her daughter goodbye. However, this little dancing queen wasn’t ready to walk into the light. Five days after being completely unconscious, the little girl started emerging from her coma by humming and singing the “Mamma Mia” soundtrack, proving that God is totally into 70’s disco, and that the “tunnel of light” really is more like a lit-up dance floor.

The child had learned the songs after watching last summer’s sing-a-long blockbuster over and over again. Layla slowly regained full consciousness, and has since made a complete recovery. Now close your eyes, think of Divine Intervention, and enjoy the vision of Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep’s smiling faces. Amen.
