This song -- available for purchase on the Muppets 25th Anniversary CD -- is another good example of the Hipsters vs Squares dynamic, with the passionate MahnaMahna annoying the square girl singers by busting out with unrehearsed freeform jazz riffs.
MahnaMahna's got a noisy drum set, and the snobby musicians try to silence him so they can play their Beethoven suite.
MahnaMahna's last public appearance was at the Muppet Show Live show in 2001, still performing his classic hit.
The most well-known Muppets' rendition of "MahnaMahna" debuted on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1969, performed by MahnaMahna and his back-up singers, the Snowths.
New video footage of MahnaMahna riding in a limo was also taped and shown on a video monitor at the event.
Pato Fu, a Brazilian pop group used the melody of "MahnaMahna" as a basis for their song "Made in Japan", the chorus uses a vocoded voice singing "Made in Japan" instead of "MahnaMahna".
It's not spelled Mahnah Mahna, It's spelled MahnaMahna!

His daughter Sabrina was eating a banana this morning and he started singing Bahna Mahna to her after I managed to get MahnaMahna stuck in his head a few weeks ago at his birthday party.
The question is “what is a MahnaMahna?” The question is “who cares?”
I also noticed that the MahnaMahna guy has some resemblence to you (a few years ago).
I am sure we will be joined from time to time by our many family and friends for short holidays.
He started his working life as a cabinet maker (skills he is hoping can help him build MahnaMahna) and has also been a shop assistant, a sales rep and a company executive for an importing company before starting his own importing company and partnering in another.
This episode was first aired in 1976 and the song was sung by MahnaMahna and two Snowths (a blend of the words ’snout’ and ‘mouth’).
This was not the first airing of the song, however, though the Muppets did make it famous.
I don’t remember what week it was, but it was outside in the circle area.

Mahna Mahna/Lullaby Of Birdland - featuring MahnaMahna & The Two Snowths
This 27-song CD harvests favorite and lesser-known recordings from feature films and from the original The Muppet Show, stringing songs ranging from Piero Umiliani's"MahnaMahna" to Tony Burrello's "There's a New Sound" (the sound that's made by worms) together with skits and grand pronouncements and goofy sound effects like an old-time vaudeville show.
A stunning variety of musical styles are showcased in this witty, wonderful collection that reminds us that a world without Fozzie Bear and Gonzo and Kermit and Miss Piggy would be less fuzzy indeed.
