Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Weekend Extra: Manah Manah

The Rifftides staff received the following e-mail message from Portugal:

I’d visit your blog. I hope you visit my blog: http://www.jazzseen.blogspot.com./. If you don’t understand Portuguese, don’t worry, you can listen jazz.
Luiz

Portuguese and Spanish are similar enough that I was able to make out some of the Jazzseen text in the reviews to which Luiz’s blog is primarily devoted. But they are not why I suggest you pay it a visit. At the top of the page is a video of the classic “Manah Manah” routine from the Muppets Show. Click on the nose of the pink fuzzy bovine on the right to start it. Judging by the subtitles at the end, it was borrowed from German television. It’s good for a smile in any language.
Have a nice weekend.
