Manah Manah Muppets rule!!!

I loved the muppets when I was a kid and I still get a good laugh at them now. I always remember them having fun songs and musical guests on the show that always made it interesting to watch. Just having pink puppets and a little sillyness is always a good thing. This is also one of those songs that gets stuck in your head simply because it is so simple and funny. This goes in with our minstrals section of the tuesday music class simply because even I can repeat this song. Music can do so much in our lives including changing moods and cheering people up so when you are feeling down just watch this and sing along. Music is something I would love to incorporate into my classroom on a daily basis even if it is just listening to it during a quite reading time with classical music or other music at lunch. This may help students concentrate, relax, or just simply enjoy themselves in school.

Classic! I love the muppets too. Such a fun song. It would be an excellent way to introduce students to jazz. Even the part at the end, "what is a manamana?" is a great way to talk about different sounds in songs.

Arrgh!
Trevor, I will find a way to return this curse to you. I have had this running through my mind for three days...three days. When I am not singing it my fiance is, there is never a moment of silence or peace... just wait!

Trevor, I love this!!! The Muppets are so wonderful!! I used to watch them all the time! Do you remember the girl muppet in the band? She was cool. My favourite was the drummer, Animal!!!!! He was awesome. Oh and Pigs In Space! We need some good quality shows like that on TV again. Thanks for putting this on. Just thinking about it makes me smile.

Hi Trevor
Good to see the muppets! I loved how they could just dance around, their hair flopping all over the place. When I was little I wouldn't have believed there was someone inside!!

I cannot stop laughing at the moment! I love this video (I have seen this video many times before) and resist the temptation to bug Sara whenever possible about this.

By the way, I am going to make sure you get a taste of similar musical style since I know you love it so much. ;) Check out my page... I am going to add Beaker's version of "Feelings" to my blog, just for kicks.

btw, those pink fuzzy creatures with the funny noses remind me of that weird mini boss in the Super Mario Bros 2 game for Nintendo. Don't they? Wow do I ever sound like a nerd when I say that lol!
