Did you guys know that Mah Nà Mah Nà (the lyrics of which contain no actual words, just a lot of nonsensical words resembling scat singing) was written by Piero Umiliani and debuted as part of the soundtrack for the 1968 Italian softcore pornography movie "Svezia Inferno e Paradiso" (Sweden, Heaven and Hell). This pseudo-documentary about wild sexual activity and other behavior in Sweden featured Mah Nà Mah Nà playing in the background of a sauna scene!The song became more widely known from its renditions by The Muppets. On November 30, 1969, Mahna Mahna was performed on the The Ed Sullivan Show by a Muppet also known as Mahna Mahna (crazy bearded guy in the dark glasses), and his backup singers the Snowths (pink creatures with crazy drag queen eyelashes).

PLEASE BE PATIENT... IT TAKES FOREVER TO LOAD!
