Mahna mahna

I noticed that the last few weeks have been pretty much video free. And this past week has been insane. Next week is looking pretty much the same. So, this week, we are doing nothing much but videos. Nameless Cynic, proving what a wonderful husband he is, brought up a video to cheer me up this morning, so I thought I'd share it with you.

But, since I like to give you different versions of the same song, here's the original, from an Italian film called, Sweden: Heaven and Hell. 

There is also a French version, Mais non, mais non, and an Arabic version, Anam, anam. It's been done as thrash metal by Skin. Or pop/disco by Vanilla as No Way, No Way. Strictly instrumental versions abound. And I understand that Benny Hill used the song quite a bit.

But, my favorite has to be the Muppets. Turns out that it was in the first season on Sesame Street in a slightly different version. It then found it's way onto The Ed Sullivan Show, in a form much more like the one at the top of the page. This is the one that was on the very first episode of The Muppet Show.

Although the Asylum Street Spankers do have a wonderful version, too. I tried to find it with the video, but all I could find was the audio. 

So, there you have it. One song, 3 different versions. No real message this week. I'll be back with a bit more depth next week.
