Piero Umiliani - Mah Na Mah Na.flv

[Ally657]

Muppets...? MAN everything is ripped from the 60's 70's..

[1AP14official]

^^

[divarosita]

mejor es la de los muppets :P



[andres6868]

it was used on the Benny Hill show as well

[StanBennet]

Some kids at a childrens home were playing the muppet version of this and I told the nurses and their aides where this song really came from. At first they didn't believe me until I pointed it out here.

[Keuris2000]

No hay ma' na' que hablar, muy buena.

[acceptthis01]

Who knew Jim Henson liked mondo docs?

[dacheezdawg]

this should be played in every elevator

[balbopilota]

one good sample of italian music of that period. From that time came many of the most poular composers of the perod. A pity these musics are not well known as they would deserve

[Diamachaerus]

This should be our national anthem.

[croft88]

@Diamachaerus I'll finally remember all the words!

[VonTrinidad]

Jim Henson did it better. But it's still great! When my life flashes fore my eyes, I hope the Sesame St. skits of it play on repeat.

[Mankarlen]

Hey I was 19 when this played on the muppets. Still cool!

[MsGucciSu]

Sooo...The Muppets covered a porn soundtrack ditty?  Cool!

[breseemaxwell]

@MsGucciSu The film wasn't porn, but it did have alot of sexual content.

[MsGucciSu]

@breseemaxwell I believe it categorized as soft core porn.

[Shahamu]

@MsGucciSu The Muppets actually started out targeted toward an adult audience, so it makes sense.

[MsGucciSu]

@Shahamu I can see where that might be so. Personally, I always thought most of it went right over the top of kid's heads.

[pastcineo]

awesome

[TheJavierm7]

SUECIA, INFIERNO O PARAISO

[johnnyjackpot]

Thanks!

[Cutiepie123341]

[kaygirl222]

ONE TREE HILL.<3

[BrainTweaker]

4 muppets detected.

[Olliemetal666]

The original and the best. Never hear it without smiling.

[MrPakrys]

Mah na mah na rulez

[beckyboston]

Sesame Street's music has bizarre origins...

[mylifeits]

m&m

[herbienbrian2]

WHAT DOES MANA MANA MEAN?????

[jcchurch]

@herbienbrian2 The question is "Who cares?".

[JornBjerregaard]

@jcchurch Nice Muppet Show reference :-)

[HauntedWebby]

@herbienbrian2 nothing ... it was filler music for an Italian movie

[nameno1elsehas]

hahaha this is such a chilling song

I need to make this my alarm in the morning :D

[TheTacojoint]

@nameno1elsehas yessss!!! you are a fucking genious! 2011 school year wake up call!

[eljose152]

oh god, this video is good because :

1) No stupid comments like "thumb up if..."

2) The song is fucking great.

[psanthony100]

what the hell.... The Muppets made this song timeless.... He should have been grateful. But seriously one of my favorite songs ever...

[tron500100]

look up the muppets mahna mahna

[caveman735]

Absolute GENIOUS! The best song ever written. Can't be beat!

[caveman735]

The best song in the entire universe!

[tutekelahore]

SADLY STOLEN BY WARNER MUSIC GROUP...................

check out Muppets version of this song .

[EtereRadioascolto]

nel 78 quanto divertimento con la trasmissione Sesamo Apriti, dove c'erano le estemporanee incursioni dei Muppets (dopo la RAI trasmise l'intero show, ma solo un paio d'anni dopo, credo): Manà Manà la cantavano i ragazzini miei coetanei ed io nelle ricreazioni alle elementari e alle medie...3-4 anni

prima di DA Da Da dei Trio (Scuole Medie di Via Cortonese a Perugia): compagni di scuola. Daniel Chellini, la Chiurulla , Sargentini e molti altri...

[Bobzeaux]

Hello?... Oh sure, just a second.

It's for you. 1:00

[kittvskarr1]

Ha ha ive got this on original 45 record from 1969!!!

[JanusChan]

Wow.. this version is even more weird than the mupper version :P

[phule11]

[Sanotaru92]

Thumbs up! if you hear this by the Russian Killer

[wallofvideo]

@0:22 "swedish rhapsody," @0:37 "santa lucia,"  @1:11 "boogie woogie bugle boy," but what's the song @0:53? it's not "lullaby of birdland," although "lullaby of birdland" does surface in "the muppet show" version.

[antoniobrave]

@wallofvideo The song @0:53 is Umiliani's own composition, a repeated melodic theme that appears throughout the Sweden: Heaven and Hell soundtrack. For example, check out "Stoccolma My Dear".

[wallofvideo]

@antoniobrave thanks!  i just listened to "stoccolma my dear" and i definitely hear the resemblance.

[Seisachtheia]

I think it's appropriate this song was part of a soundtrack to a film with the subtitle "Heaven and Hell"

[japsaa11]

daumen hoch wenn ihr über "unnützes wissen " hier her gekommen seid

[AngoloDiTotonno]

è l'acqua lete che piace a me xD

[IchBojan]

;D

[djunior2011]

Didnt sesame street do a puppet show to this song??

[krejt]

@djunior2011 The Muppets did a version of this song, maybe that's what you're thinking of.

[ablrcklnthewall]

@djunior2011 Sesame and Muppets did a version of it. Both were made in '69.

[GiulioMa]

Italians do it better.

[caveman735]

The best tune in the entire universe, period.

[LeoNG628]

OMG, I love this melody but the song is older than me...lol

[tangoman111]

@LeoNG628 9 years younger than me.

[GWC1975]

@LeoNG628

I'm older than you, too.

But if it makes you feel better, the song is older than me, too.

[wellesradio]

@LeoNG628 omg, you don't say? I could NEVER imagine liking a song that was older than me! I thought good music was only invented in my lifetime! Forget the 4,000+ years of humans trying to set music down.

[Tyannalyn]

@LeoNG628 LOL

[yatsign007]

@LeoNG628 lol, it is good. Muppets made it more famous than it ever was, and people tend to not realise that it was actually from "Heaven and Hell" originally.

[AnnaGolly]

POWERFUL!

[frankrideau]

there was a time...

[SevenSeasofGreenTea]

I love this song LOL it makes me think of one of those old movies where like Chevy Chase (I hope I spelled that right) Plays in and he's like waiting in an elevator or somthing HAHAHA That would be Epic GOLD!

[ekserchina]

I don't think most people know that this is by Piero Umiliani. What a great little composition.

[GiulioMa]

@ekserchina

Yes, you`re right.They don`t know his genious. Pure genious.

[drBassermann]

i love the instrumental in the end of this version.

[geckotwister]

this is gold.

[scorpider]

Not everyone knows this :)

[panskeptic]

This is where it all started, folks. Before Dave Pell, before the Muppets, before any of the covers, this is the one.

[robfergusonjr]

@panskeptic And its still the best one...

[nathanjamesbaker]

@panskeptic And before Warlock Pinchers.
