The Charming song "Mah Na Mah Na" is Born of a 1960's Adult Film! That's Right!
The original Mah Na Mah Na song was written in 1968 by Italian film composer Piero Umiliani who created the song as part of the soundtrack of a Soft Core ( By Today's Standards, Scandalous for the Time Period!), Adult film for which it was written!
Here is the..Interesting..But True History of this Song made famous by "Sesame Street" and the "Muppet Show".
I've had so many questions regarding the short appearance of the little Red "Mah Na Mah Na" singing Monster in one of my videos. I must receive ten messages a day asking me the name of the Song!
Here is the Famous Version from "The Muppet Show" from the 1980's. If some of the Clip Frames don't load, Refresh your Browser!
It is based upon an Earlier Version from Sesame Street 1969, JUST ONE YEAR after it's release as a Soft Core Adult Film Soundtrack!
Based on an even EARLIER Sesame Street Version ( Sesame Street Version One 1969)
Originally, the Song "Mah Na Mah Na" was Written for a SoftCore Swedish Adult Movie from Just One Year earlier, in 1968, called "Sweden; Hell and Heaven". Here is a "G" rated Clip. This is the Original, First Use as it was intended! As a "One Time Use" for a Softcore Adult Film Background music soundtrack.

Thanks for reading the Interesting History of this Song "Mahna Mahna". It was also played quite often on the "Benny Hill Show" as a Chase Scene Favorite! I'll embed a Benny Hill clip as soon as I find one, unless one of My Fans can find one first and message me to my You Tube Channel!
