Actually, I'm willing to offer one of my special Johnny Danger Keychains to any member who can explain the origins of that song !!!!

Weirdly enough, the original song is from an Italian soft-core porno movie called "Sweden - Heaven and Hell". Here is the link explaining the origins and incorporation into the Muppet song:
“Mahna Mahna”: How a ditty from a soft-core Italian movie became the Muppets’ catchiest tune. - Slate Magazine
Either Jim Henson and his staff were in the dark as to the true origins of the song or they were perpetrating a clever inside joke for the adults "in the know" to enjoy while they were forced to listen to the Muppet songs ad nauseum.
RIP, JH!

I wanted to nominate a song with a bit of a classical bent;
Rob Dugan Will You Follow Me
Your best bet is to google it, the youtube video will pop right up. Fabulous for winding roads!
I first heard it on Top Gear, and used an iPhone app to identify it. Turned out I already had the CD. Note to self; listen to all the tracks.

That is really, really good. For a serious offering on driving music (because my next post will be in the "cheesy/groan" them on this thread), I also suggest any track from NFL Films "Autumn Thunder"

This should be perfect driving music for Johnny Danger (and any secret agents in training) - memorable lyrics from our youth, but with a more hip beat; Speed Yellow vehicle; and innuendo-laden lyrics.
