25th Anniversary CD

[Fozzie Bear]

HIYA!

Dunno if this has been touched upon before yet or not, but I notice under Track 2 MAHNA MAHNA they list 2 parts:

a. Mahna Mahna
b. Lullaby of Birdland.

So, any detail what the deal is here? What's up with the Lullaby part, and if it's on the CD, how do I get to it??

That's always been listed, on the LPs and cassette releases too. Dunno what it is, though!

Heck, I'll just email Fanmail@henson.com and see what answer they can give us then.

Anybody else have any idea?

In the original Sweedish version pop track(non JHC) I don't think it is listed that way...maybe it is the 'do do do dooot do' part?

I wondered about that, but I've just listened to the original, and while they sing 'de de be de be' rather than 'do do do doo do', it's still the same tune There's no credit for 'Lullaby' on the label or sleeve.

We'll see if JHC will email me back with an answer. Sometimes it takes a while, though.

Kevin! c'mon, JHC has enough of their own problems to deal with heh. But...I can just imagine what their response would be!

"Lullaby of Birdland" is the little rift used during part of Mahna Mahna.

The original 1977 record and cassette credits it as "MAH NA MAH NA (Umiliani) with Lullaby Of Birdland (Shearing, Forster)".

We talked about this a couple months ago as well...
