A group of mums from New Zealand have created an ABBA parody video and song titled 'Quarantina', and it's a total joy.

The four Christchurch mothers, known together as The Starlets, had several gigs cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic restrictions.

However, the four ladies found the time to create the ABBA lockdown parody video with all vocals and the video recorded separately in isolation.

"I wanted to create a video that wasn't just about poking fun at staying at home but was also able to show how we can have fun while staying at home."

The video took The Starlets one week to make, with each member of the group filming their parts on their phones.
