Mah nà mah nà. I say it’s a meme because The Muppets popularised it and did a callback to it at least once after its first appearance. It’s lived in the consciousnesses of many people of a certain age and anyone else exposed ever since.
Very few people have actually seen the film it was written for. I know I haven’t. It’s a bit twisted that a song from what amounts to an adult movie ended up in a kids’ show to be fair, but it happened. And the song is in my head.
