My Only Man, Helen Merrill & Piero Umiliani (1962) Smooth and sultry, from the 1962 Italian drama Smog. Umiliani wrote many scores for spaghetti westerns and sexploitation films, but was best remembered as the composer of Mah Nà Mah Nà.
Helen Merrill (born Jelena Ana Milcetic) was a jazz vocalist who recorded in the bebop era of the late 50s / early 60s. She traveled abroad for some years before returning to the U.S. in the 1970s.

That was scary. I wonder what the aftermath was – hope the rope held.

Yes, she took the same ride down the other side in the back as I watched it a couple of times… and upside down no less…

What an outstanding rabbit hole your reference to Mah Na Mah Na sent me down! (Terrible grammar, I know, but I just couldn’t get it to work right.) Resulting post coming up on Wednesday. Thanks, and have a great weekend! (Oh, and thanks for including one of my posts, too!)

I had a 45rpm of that song (pre Muppets era) that I bought with my quarter-a-week allowance money.
Piero Umiliani wrote some cool soundtracks otherwise, cheesy movies or not.
