favouritest song in the whole world.
If it wasn't before, it is now!
I posted this somewhere on my blog a long time ago:
"Mah Nà Mah Nà" debuted as part of Umiliani's soundtrack for the Italian softcore pornography movie Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden, Heaven and Hell) (1968), a pseudo-documentary film about wild sexual activity and other behavior in Sweden ("Mah Nà Mah Nà" accompanied a scene set in a sauna). A soundtrack album, "Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso" was released in 1968. The movie was also released under the English title Sweden Heaven and Hell."

MIssing from this is the fact that the song was first used over a scene depicting lesbian S&M
I've loved that song since my youth. I love it even more now that I know of its spicy origins.
Thanks Magnus!
Although it also makes me wonder a bit about what The Muppet Show writers were doing in their spare time........
Well...ummmm...now my brain is broken Magnus
Those things just aren't all supposed to go together like that.
Muppets and S&M aren't concepts my brain can meld.
rebooting...
I think Jim Henson and Co. were quite aware of its origins. Consider the title of at least one of the Muppet's pilot/pitch episodes: The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence.
