Mah Na Mah Na - The Muppets - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Mah Na Mah Na" might sound like classic Muppets chaos, but the track actually originated in 1968 as part of the soundtrack for the Italian documentary Svezia, inferno e paradiso, composed by Piero Umiliani. It first made waves in the U.S. when The Muppets performed it on Sesame Street in November 1969, followed by an even more memorable version on The Ed Sullivan Show just a few days later. The skit introduced Mahna Mahna, a shaggy, sunglass-wearing Muppet who delivers jazzy scat vocals while two pink Snowths respond in robotic unison. This back-and-forth became an instant hit, and though the song only reached number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100, it earned cult status. When The Muppet Show debuted in 1976, "Mah Na Mah Na" opened the very first episode, cementing its place in the franchise’s history. With its absurd lyrics and endlessly hummable hook, "Mah Na Mah Na" captured everything fans love about The Muppets—offbeat humor, clever music, and charm that spans generations.
