4 Sep (?) 1968 Italian film/soundtrack LP SVEZIA, INFERNO E PARADISO [SWEDEN, HEAVEN AND HELL]

"Mah-na mah-na" apparently appeared first in this film, and then became popular worldwide and was released as a single. I'm not sure if the song was only in the film or also on the original Italian soundtrack LP. I'm not sure what the writer/director Luigi Scattini has/had against Sweden, claiming it's full of naked, drunk & copulating people! :(

A-side written by Piero Umiliani, B-side written and arranged by Giorgio. Thanks to Robert Demetz for info. He told me that the A-side is Giorgio's own (crazy) version of the theme from the famous 'Muppet Show', and that it was included on the Italian various artists CD "ARRIVA LA BOMBA - The Easiest Italian Party of the Year" (1998, La Douce/Irma Records/Sony). Dan Magnusson informed me that it was also released in France under the name 'Stop Studio Group' (Barclay, BLY 061 153) and reissued in Jan 1977 as a German single under the name 'Stammer the Hammer' (Ariola 17 964 AT).

Robert Demetz added that "It was the time when Giorgio was trying to get some success in Italy. Other songs in Italian of that time was 'Looky Looky' or 'Figlio di tuo padre (Italian version of Son of My Father) or 'Senza te, senza me' and others".
