Ma Na Me Na

When I was a little kid my favorite show was Sesame Street and my favorite bit was the Ma Na Me Na song. I would go around the house singing that song repeatedly, which probably led to my Mother's nervous condition. I loved the Ma Na Me Na song, so you can imagine my surprise when I found out that it was based on a song from a Swedish softcore porn movie called Inferno E Paradiso (Heaven and Hell). My childhood memories are based on porn! This explains so much about me.

Here is the Sesame Street version.


Here is the Ma Na Me Na scene from Inferno E Paradiso.


Here is the American trailer for Heaven and Hell. I really like the "prudish American" hard sell of this one.


And, lastly, here is Dio performing Heaven And Hell, because it rocks hard.

Yes, it explains a lot! The movie might have been Swedish, but that first trailer was in Italian...believe me. I've studied lots of Italian(s)! Now, where's the nearest floating sex lab?

I love this song. I always loved the Muppets and their version. I never knew about the porn connection. Wow! That probably explains a lot about who I am. lol
