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.

Iain: Impressive! Although she does look like the sort who’d go for anything in trousers.

Lonna: Congrats. 14 cool points to you.

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.

Alrighty then.

I hope like heck you fill us all in after giving sufficient time for someone to be worth a million cool points.

Cool tune- have you heard Cake’s version?

Olly: They all laughed at Christopher Columbus, when he invented sound (or something like that).

zym: Up your butt with a coconut. Don’t Daphne and Celeste sound a lot like the Ukulady.

Lonna: No, it isn’t. You’re obviously far too pure and innocent to recognise the last one.

Joe: Different Joe. But you can always pretend it’s for you.
