Mahna Mahna between the two Snowths
The rebuilt Mahna Mahna for the 2005 CanTeen Bandanana ad.
The character that performed the song "Mahna Mahna" on the Ed Sullivan Show and The Muppet Show was also called Mahna Mahna. This Muppet was built with eyes that could blink. He was seen occasionally in the background or in the audience and was featured in other Muppet Show sketches, including Sax and Violence.
His most recent appearance was in a 2005 CanTeen commercial promoting "Bandanana Week."
Bip Bipadotta
The character that performed the song on Sesame Street was a completely different puppet that was made from the Small Purple Anything Muppet with dark brown hair and did not have the blinking eye feature. Later, this character would be reworked to look more like Mahna Mahna. This character was called Bip Bipadotta.
