Mah Na Mah Na

Piero Umiliani's silly song, Mah Na Mah Na, is one of those tunes you wouldn't know from the title, but one listen and you're sure you've heard it somewhere. The most iconic use of this song is by furry pink monsters on the Muppet Show, in its very first episode. The playful tune has also been used in commercials and movies. The single was also a billboard top 100 hit in the late 60s. It would make a great ringtone, don't you think?

Hanson Brother Becomes Hanson Father

Zac Hanson, the youngest of the brothers in the rock trio, Hanson, is now a father. John Ira Shepherd Hanson was born Tuesday to Zac Hanson and his wife, Kate, at an undisclosed hospital in Hanson's hometown of Tulsa.

The new father is overjoyed with the news. "There is not an audience or concert that could ever stand up to the feeling of meeting your baby for the first time," said Zac.

I wonder if John Ira Shepherd will get MMMbop lullabyes from his dad?

Check out Hanson ringtones.

Return of Beavis and Butt-Head

For fans that can’t get enough of Beavis and Butt-Head, ringtones from their early 90's CD compilation The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience, have now been released. Ringtones include songs from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith, Run-D.M.C., and Sir Mix-A-Lot.

One of the most talked about tones is the Chili Peppers’ “Search and Destroy”. The song is a cover version, originally recorded by Iggy Pop and The Stooges.

For those who aren’t familiar with Iggy Pop, he is one of the punk heroes of the early 70’s, who originally came on to the music scene with his band The Stooges. During his solo career, he wrote numerous hits, including “Lust For Life” and “China Girl”, which David Bowie also co-wrote and recorded. The song he's best known for as a solo artist, is the punk anthem “Real Wild Child”. Recently, Iggy has been seen on Bam Margera’s show performing the classic “My Idea Of Fun”, which he released with the reunited Stooges in 2006.

Iggy, who has been nicknamed “The Godfather of Punk”, has influenced his contemporaries Siouxsie and The Banshees, Sonic Youth, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag. His sound is still alive today through bands like Green Day, The Donnas and Gogol Bordello.

Be sure to check out all the tones from the Beavis and Butt-Head Experience.

Chuck Norris vs The Hoff

Hollywood movie star, Karate black belt, and all-around tough guy Chuck Norris is everywhere these days. He’s been popping up in soda commercials ads, television shows and infomercials. It seems there is no escaping him.

Anyone who is familiar with Chuck, knows that he is comparable to a modern-day Bruce Lee. Although the strange cult following he’s acquired makes him more comparable to tv’s David Hasselhoff.

At least one thing that distinguishes Norris from Hasselhoff is the fact that Norris doesn’t insist on singing! But for as much flack as Hasselhoff catches for his songs, he has sold an astonishing number of records world-wide!

Check out these hilarious mobile Chuck Norris graphics. You can also gaze in amazement at the selection of Hasselhoff wallpapers and amuse yourself with his must-have ringtones!
