Mahna Mahnaby The Muppets

KEXP is absolutely it's own Muppet Show. A cast of loveable oddballs, bound together, making spontaneous magic everyday. And lots of flying chickens. And, here's the cute Mahna Mahna video: www.youtube.com

"Hi, Sarah in West Seattle here. It's my daughter Miriam's first birthday today! We had kind of a rough start—she was 8 weeks early and spent 75 days in the NICU at Swedish, but now she's a giant, happy, healthy baby! We've been listening to KEXP every day together since we brought her home. Her entire face lights up whenever any music comes on. I was hoping you could play her favorite song, Mahna Mahna by the Muppets. Thank you so much for helping me give her a deep appreciation for all kinds of music.

A request from Minnesotans Karin and Ginny... --- Here are the lyrics: "Mahna Mahna do do do do do Mahna Mahna do do do do Mahna Mahna do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Mahna Mahna" -- And, here's the video: www.youtube.com

*Celebrating the Music of 1977! This soundtrack won a Grammy for Best Album for Children.

"Mah Na Mah Na" was written by composer Piero Umiliani for an Italian "mondo" film (exploitative pseudo-documentaries) about life (mostly sex-related) in Sweden, titled Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden, Heaven and Hell). It is a nonsense song that achieved widespread fame as a classic Muppet sketch. -- Sing along!: www.youtube.com
