A Beloved Muppet Moment Came From a Soft Core Movie
Mahna Mahna (do do do do do) is one of The Muppets best loved songs. Aaaaaand it came from a softcore Scandinavian movie from the 60s. Kim and Brett break it down.
"Jim Henson’s immortal creations have lent their distinctive voices to plenty of great songs—“Bein’ Green,” written by Henson standby Joe Raposo, or Paul Williams’ “Rainbow Connection”—but none quite have the nagging persistence of “Mahna Mahna,” which helps bring The Muppets to a rousing finish."*
