I was reading a transcript of a conversation between Tom Tomorrow (of “This Modern World” fame) and John Mcrea (lead singer of Cake) this morning, and those two indie icons talked about “Mahna Mahna“, a song that I know from the British version of The Office. Well, it turns out that the song was actually written by a 1960′s era jazz musician named, Piero Umiliani, and made famous by the Muppet Show. I guess you learn something new every day!
