I was visiting relatives in Cleveland in August 1969 the first time I heard "Mah-na Mah-na." I thought it was some silly bit the afternoon DJ at WIXY 1260 cooked up one day for the heck of it, and he was the one humming the "lyrics" over some cute girly music he'd taped from a suntan commercial or God-knows-where. I didn't realize it was a legit record until I heard it on another station back home in the D.C. area a month later! Actually, I think the Muppets' version is cooler. (Who sings on that, the Cookie Monster?) Jeff
