Sesame Street - "The Original Muppet Mah-Na, Mah-Na" (1969)

Here's the original Muppet performance (in best quality) of "Mah-Na, Mah-Na" (or "Mah Nà Mah Nà", composed by Piero Umiliani, the song first written for use in the Italian film "Sweden - Heaven and Hell" [1968]).

This performance first aired on Episode #14 of Sesame Street, which premiered on Thursday, November 27th 1969. (three days later, on Sunday, November 30th 1969, a modified version of the sketch appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show)

This was before the same musical piece (in a different arrangement) would be featured by Benny Hill in various sketches (as beginning in 1971). (the Mah-Na, Mah-Na sketch would later also be remade most famously on The Muppet Show, in a 1977 edition on which Juliet Prowse was guest. It's this version that people are likely most familiar with)

It starts with two girl Muppets (voiced by Loretta Long and Frank Oz) saying they could sing a song if only one other joined them. At this point, the "Mah-Na, Mah-Na" Muppet (later christened "Bip Bippadotta" for distinction), voiced by Jim Henson, comes up to them, only intoning said phrase, at which the number begins and at two points he does some scat singing. In the end, the girls leave, and he goes gradually off away from the camera.

Doo-doo-dee-doo-doo? Or Bah-dee-pee-tee-pee? Depends on which version.

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:

The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:
