Bad music gets better with muppets

 Seeing Narc is totally letting us down again, I figured it was time for some alternative column this week until musical Narc will be back on earth. There is a lot of bad music in the world. But somehow it gets better with muppets.

This has been (or still is?) a song you couldn't get around on dutch radio (so i stopped listening to radio) But get in Elmo and you get an enjoyable ensemble:



Even bad music from porno, or pseudo-documentary as they called it themselves, is better with muppets. Although we kinda missing the nudity i guess.
 


"Mah Nà Mah Na" debuted as part of Umiliani's soundtrack for the Italian mondo film Svezia, inferno e paradiso (Sweden: Heaven and Hell [lit. Hell and Heaven]) (1968), a pseudo-documentary about wild sexual activity and other behaviour in Sweden. The song accompanied a scene in the film set in a sauna which gave its original title "Viva la Sauna Svedese" (Hooray for the Swedish Sauna).


There! Useless information and bad music. My work here is done.

    Wow. I never knew that about the origins of Mah Na Mah Na... I always thought it was just some weird muppet thing -- though prefer the Sandra Bullock version. That is very odd indeed, and obscure. Good job.

    I love it! though you missed some of the best muppet songs! I demand a nother week of delightful muppet songs like 'moving right along' or 'being green' or maybe hit songs from the labyrinth or hell you didn't even get 'Rubber ducky!'

    But, this is my weak spot, I love love love da muppets. I might even have to take a week off from killing the warlord to listen to these for a while.
