Double treat! 1. Reminds me of my childhood and 2. Just saw a most wonderful rendition of this song a week ago at the <a href="http://www.sacjazz.com/" rel="nofollow">Sacrament Jazz Festival</a> by the <a href="http://www.ophirprison.com/" rel="nofollow">Ophir Prison Marching Kazoo Band and Temperance Society, LMTD.</a> They even threw little yellow rubber duckies into the audience while playing the song. My wife managed to "catch" one in her, um in her, mmmmm. Well let's just say she had a little opening just below her head in just the right spot to catch a little rubber duckie. The band members, of course, loved it! Wow. Double treat!

Mana-mana was on Sesame Street! My sister and I taught our little brother to do the "mana-mana" part while we did the goofy blonde muppets back in '73 or '74, way before the Muppet Show. Drove my mother nuts! I play it in the classroom (I have a version by Cake) and my 8th grade students *love* it. Universal wackiness is a good thing. Oh no Jenno! Mana-mana was on Sesame Street!
