I had another childhood flashback today: the Manha Manha video from the Muppets.
Oddly enough, the song debuted in 'Italian' in 1968 on the soundtrack for a movie called Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden: Heaven and Hell), a documentary about wild sexual activity and other behavior in Sweden. Shortly after it was debuted in 'English' on the Ed Sullivan Show and on the Muppet Show. Seems like a natural progression...
The first video posted below is the version I remember, the second is the original version and the third is a promo for The Office. There have been a ton of other spin-offs spawned over the years, including a cover by Cake and commercial for Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.
My thoughts: 1 point Hipsters; 0 points Squares
Good luck getting the song out of your head.

I remember that from the Muppet Show! Impossible to get out of your head. It's a lost cause.

Now I wish I had my Muppet show album -- (1st one I owned -- that I wore out on my Fisher Price Record Player.
