Do doo be-do-do!..........Mahna Mahna

I heard this song backing a Diet Cherry-Vanilla Dr. Pepper commercial yesterday, which inspired me to look for it on my computer; the song, not the soda. When I realized that I could not find the song let alone spell the title, I looked it up on wikipedia. I did not know that the song was "written in 1968 by Piero Umiliani as a soundtrack for the softcore documentary Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden, Hell or Heaven) about sexual activity in Sweden." Of course the version I and most remember best was on the muppets as perfomed by Manah Manah and the Snowths.
