Mahna Mahna!
So a friend an I ventured into the foreign borough they call Queens last Sunday.
Why in felted hell did you do to Queens you say? We wanted to see the Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of The Moving Image, that's why!
Firstly, DON'T GO ON SUNDAY if you really want a proper museum experience.
There were alot of families with their infants and toddlers, so you can imagine the screaming, running, crying and sheer lack of respect for museum patrons.
The Museum itself is a wonderful display of moving image history with a collection that is steadily growing. As for the Jim Henson Exhibit, I really enjoyed it. The selections seemed a bit limited, but really, who wants to be trapped in a dark maze filled with goggly eyed puppets besides me?
Photographs are not allowed in this exhibit but seriously folks, I needed something to show, so I snuck one for yah!
Pictured above are the Muppets Bip Bippadotta (who i'm surprised to find out has a Facebook page) and two of his Snowth backup singers used in the skit, Mahna Mahna. The most famous rendition of Mahan Mahna aired on the Ed Sullian Show in 1969. The song is as catchy as Lambchops, 'This is the song that never ends', but not nearly as annoying.
Jim Henson was an amazing talent and remarkably funny. His lifes work continues to made a tremendous inpact on childrens television, education and children around the world.
The Jim Henson's Fantastic World Ends March 4th, so be sure you check it out before it ends.
