In the new (diet?) Dr. Pepper (cherry/vanilla?) they had a familiar scat ditty:
Muh-nuh-muh-nuh
Do-Doooo-de-do-dit.
Muh-nuh-muh-nuh
Do-do-dit-doot
Muh-nuh-muh-nuh
Do-doooo-de-do-dit,dododit,dododit,dododit-dododit-dootdoodoodoodoodoot-doot!
Does this scat have a name?
Haven’t seen the commercial, but it sounds like the Muppet’s Mannah-Mannah song, or however it’s spelled.
Yes, it’s the Muppet song but it’s so much more!
It was originally written by Piero Umiliani and was used in a 1968 Italian porn film called Sweden: Heaven or Hell – a film so salicious, it was actually banned in Sweden!
It was then covered by the French singer Henri Salvador as “Mais non, mais non” and then found its way across the Atlantic by 1969. How the Muppets wound up singing a song from an Italian porn film that was covered by a French singer is anyone’s guess.
