Mahna Mahna

Introduction

During my 2/2/2012 During my radio show, I inquired about a song that is commonly known as 'Mahna Mahna.' Some people prefer to write it as 'Mah Na Mah Na.' This topic has sparked numerous emails, so I’d like to share the information I have gathered. As per my findings, Wikipedia the song originally appeared in a 1968 Italian film centered around themes of sexuality in Sweden named Sweden, Hell and Paradise (Sweden, Heaven and Hell).

Nevertheless, its fame extended far beyond that particular film. Many correspondents highlighted its prominent presence in the Muppet Show, where several sketches utilized this catchy tune during the show's airing. In the 2012 film, The Muppets, the closing credits were accompanied by Mahna Mahna, featuring an array of famous personalities.

Below is a compilation of media that features Mahna Mahna, curated from insights shared by my devoted readers:

With this information, I trust I have sufficiently answered the question I raised during my radio program. Perhaps now we can move forward to other topics.
