Did I catch a bit of the theme from “Top Gun” (Tom Cruise movie) as one of the solos?

HAHA This is hilarious. Woodshed, at the moment, you the coolest person ever! You have the most random, cool tabs and I’m having so much fun learning them! (I have a bum knee right now and can’t do anything but lay here on the couch). I particularly liked the Chocobo and Godfather ones, but Mahna, mahna just put yourself over-the-top and I just had to say something. I laughed for like a full minute simply b/c you posted a Mahna, mahna tab. Keep it up, I’m having fun!

Thanks for the info, Stewart. I was hoping the sauna scene would be a little more steamy.

(Don’t know if my post was eaten or moderated, so I’ll try again… Woodshed, please feel free to delete if necessary)

I was at the same time amused and a little disenchanted to learn the origin of this song on a local music quiz show.

I won’t offer any spoilers here but if you want to know, Wikipedia has a pretty good explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mah_N%C3%A0_Mah_N%C3%A0

The original version can be found on YouTube by searching for the name of the movie in which it appears (“Svezia, inferno e paradiso”). It involves a sauna scene, but its pretty tame.

For me the definitive version is the one from Sesame Street. Giorgio Moroder’s version from 1968 is pretty funny. But he’s right, you know. It gets a bit monotonous unless you take the mickey out of it.

OK, I’ll just post the link.

But remember, you’ve been warned…

Can’t believe it took me all day to get that one.

Quality tab senor shed. Random bragging point, but I stood next to shampoo at a gig just before that came out, and the little one definitely fancied me. Just had to get that off my chest.
