9. Abacab - Genesis

Coined while the band was developing the song; they had three different musical bits (Section A, Section B, and Section C) which they were trying to assemble into a song, and as they put the bits together, at one point (though apparently not the final version), the order of the bits was “ABACAB.”

> 1. Mahna Mahna - The Muppets

The song was written by Piero Umiliani, and its original title was **“Mah Nà Mah Nà”**. It was first heard in a 1968 Italian film entitled **“Sweden: Heaven and Hell”**. Considered a pseudo-documentary in what was _(at the time called)_ ‘Mondo’ (world) style, the film was made up made up of nine segments focusing on different aspects of sexuality in Sweden such as lesbian nightclubs, porn films, the swinging lifestyle of married couples, and the sex education of teenagers. The film also examined drug addiction, alcoholism, and suicides in Sweden.

So in other words, we are talking about a song from the soundtrack of a soft-core porno film.

and to start us off on the next one …
