	Who else remembers Manamana? I recently came across a clip of the skit as done on the old Muppet Show in 1977. But I swear that I had heard it earlier, on Seasame Street, and according to this site, I am correct. It was done sone Sesame Street in 1969. And apparently, Jim Hensen did it even before then, when he appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, in 1968! But the origin of the song? It's even more bizarre than you would think According to this site it was written by Piero Umiliani, an Italian composer, for a Swedish porn flick titled Svezia: Inferno e Paradiso (in English, "Sweden; Heaven or Hell".

Yes, I remember it from Sesame Street when I was a kid. Never really watched the Muppet Show.

I remember it from the Muppet Show-we didn't get Sesame Street where I grew up. I still remember the Snuffalupagus doing the solo riff with great abandon. (I hope I spelled Snuffalupagus right...)

I know this response was a bit late, but....

I couldn't get the link to load from someone else's post so I hadn't bothered with yours. I tried it tonight and it made me happy. It gave me a boost while being sick.

*hugs*

THANKS!

Manamana
