Things I did not know a week ago:
The “Mahna Mahna” song, made famous by the Muppets, “is actually from the soundtrack to an Italian sex travelogue of Sweden.”
So says Chris McLaren (or, rather, said about a month ago — I’m cleaning out links here). And he has the links to back it up.
Wow. I had, I’m presuming, the original version on record as a tot. By Piero Umbro or something like that. I loved it, but now I have to say I’m slightly creeped out that my brother and I used to duet it with such glee.
