Mah Na Cowboy
Piero Umiliani
Questo Sporco Mondo Meraviglioso
(1971)
I'm sure it's common knowledge at this point that Jim Henson took the famous "Mah Na Mah Na" song from an Italian softcore porno called "Sweeden: Heaven and Hell," right?
The original, composed by Piero Umiliani, is featured during a sauna scene featuring a dozen or so Swedish girls. I'm sure it was Umiliani's signature, comical, nasal-vocalese delivery that caught Henson's ear.
Anywho, what isn't so well known, is this follow-up track from an equally salacious Mondo film from 1971. The track is absolutely bugged out and bonkers. The original LP goes for like a thousand bucks on a good day, but you can find this single, even 30 years after its pressing for about what I paid for it.
