Who else thinks this is the best commercial ever!! http://www.drpepper.com/CherryVanillaDP/index.aspx Click on Media Gallery, the first TV ad (Date - 30 sec) I think the guy's face when he says it is hilarious!
The Muppet show... Mahna Mahna was his name. http://www.kermitage.com/html/characterindex/tms/characterm.html http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1303/mana_mana/ When I first saw the commercial I thought of the Muppets but the Muppet Show usually took it's music from other places... Further research indicates it was originally written by Italian composer Piero Umiliani as part of a Swedish documentary... But I'm sure the Dr. Pepper commercial is aimed at people nostalgic for the Muppet show. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000D150U/ref=m_art_li_1/002-7157477-7250436?v=glance&s=music Waldorf: The question is, what is a Mahna Mahna? Statler: The question is, who cares? Image Unavailable, Please Login
There's a town in the foothills of Fujeirah named Manama. Whenever we drive through we sing a chorus of "Manamana!" When i go by myself I call my wife and start it off: "Manamana! and she replies "Doo doo 'n doo doo! Doo doo doo doo!" Yes we are silly, but we have fun....
