HPRs: Song Spiel

By James Osborne
Contributing Writer

‘Mah Nah Mah Nah” is a song which was originally written for an X-Rated Italian film but is most commonly associated with the Muppets. Since it has no actual words, it was popular in several countries having been recorded by over 1000 performers in over 50 countries. This week Kung Fu Jimmy guides us down the path that Mah Nah Mah Nah took from B film obscurity to children’s television to chip and soda commercials to becoming one of the most recognized call and response songs in the Western World.
