    The Muppet show... Mahna Mahna was his name.

    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.

    Waldorf: The question is, what is a Mahna Mahna?

    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....
