Five minutes of epic win. My only complaint is Animal's 30 seconds yelling "MAMA!"
Considering what's going on lyrically during those 30 seconds, I can see why they did it. After all, this is a totally G-Rated video. Kids probably don't need to hear "put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead."

that reminded me of the mana mana. you got to see a little glimpse of it in the thanksgiving special.
For those that are interested to know the that thanksgiving special was done during the muppets newer tv show in the late 90's.
here is the mana mana from the original. all muppet fans will remember it. When I was a child and saw this I laughed so hard my mother came into the living room to find out what was wrong with me.

Keith,
That version was the opening sketch of the Muppet Show debut in 1975
Take a peek at this one from Sesame Street in 1969

The song was actually written by Piero Umiliani for an Italian film "Sweden: Heaven and Hell"

That was just bizzare and complete waste of 10 minutes of my time... Thank you!! With that much talent, can they PLEASE make another muppet movie that does not suck, or even bring back the Muppet show?

Strange.
I have met a few diner waitresses with similar voices.

Here's my favorite Muppet sketch ever:

Crazy Harry punctuates the French standard Chanson d'Amour with TNT. I remember reading somewhere that Crazy Harry has been retired. One of the Muppet honchos said that having a wild-eyed weirdo casually blowing things up isn't as funny in the post 9/11 world.
