CanTeen is a New Zealand non-profit organization that supports young people living with cancer. Mahna Mahna and the Snowths appeared wearing bandanas in a commercial for CanTeen's "Bandanna Week" during 2005. The normal "Mahna Mahna" lyrics were changed to "Bandanana."
Also making appearances in the one minute spot are Kermit, Rowlf, the Swedish Chef, Janice, Dr. Teeth, and Rizzo, all in the Muppet Theatre.
It's not saying mahna mahna or manah manah or mananana, it's saying "badanana" because this is an ad for bandanas to support canteen, sure this is probably an alteration of another video but i haven't seen it and i'm sure the lyrics are different.
@Ravenmane13 Actually, Bip Bippadotta is a Sesame Street character and Mahna Mahna is a Muppet Show character. They are both eachother's counterparts. And though the two characters are both known for singing that same song, they have always been portrayed by separate puppets and considered to have separate identities :)
When stressed out at work, try singing this song. I did all day today. Either people think your crazy or they'll start singing with you. Of course I'm the latter one.
this fucking wmg has muted all the original manananahs of youtube... it's the best version we can enjoy right now... (111Redroses γεια σου πατριωτακι...)
Are you guys dense? Please read TheLadydarknyte's comment below. This was a PSA for a bandana, and it clearly says "Bandanana" at the end. Of course, the orginal is, "Manamana".
This is not the original video. It's a video made as a commercial, and they sing "bandanana." In the original video they sing "manhamanha." Just for people who wondered.
@J3sT4ever Man, Bill Barretta cracks me up with that scat singing from 0:18-0:23, he should perform on Sesame Street, singing this song as Bip Bippadotta, but who would sing back-up?
Say, has anyone noticed how 85% of the Muppets highlighted in this commercial are actually Jim's characters? Excluding Janice, the Snowths, and Rizzo, the commercial is pretty much an homage to Jim Henson himself since Mahna-Mahna goes up to Rowlf, the Swedish Chef, Dr. Teeth, and Kermit. I'm assuming this was like a special 50th anniversary thing since it was done in 2005, exactly the same time Kermit(and the Henson legacy itself) was turning 50. Who's with me?

years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want that happening to me
Sesame Street: The character had brown hair, wore a striped shirt, & sang with two Anything Muppet girls
Ed Sullivan: A LIVE version of Mahna Mahna was performed for Ed Sullivan's studio audience. The Snowths were present and Mahna Mahna was shaggier than in his TMS appearance.
The Muppet Show: The classic version everyone and their dog's grandma has seen. This was the opening number to the first episode of TMS.
This HERE is a commercial remaking the song to promote Bandannas.
While I'm not so sure about who did the Swedish Chef,I'm guessing the Snowths were Eric Jacobson since he's mostly in charge of a great deal of Frank Oz's Muppets. Also,Kermit's dialogue is from the original Muppet Show performance of this song.
Actually, I think John Kennedy did the voice of Dr. Teeth. Kennedy was doing Dr. Teeth before the character was passed on to Bill Barretta, who also does as you mentioned Rowlf and the Swedish Chef.
