Does anybody remember in the opening titles when Kenny says "And now, before you can say..." and then an animated mouth starts this chant that ends with the words " muckatu itanahu acarba micky toora." I'm trying to find out where that chant comes from and where I can get a copy of it.
shareYep, I remember the opening titles and that is exactly why I am in here - looking for a download of the zipped mouth that used to go on before the show... it was classic. Any luck finding it so far?
shareI know it's over a year on now since these posts, but unfortunately I can't seem to find a download of the Zipped mouth animation introduction. However I believe the words used are actually the complete native Maori pronunciation of a particular town in New Zealand, which is usually abreviated to something like Tamataya.
shareThe full name is "Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu". The arangement used is from a 1970's pop song called "the lone ranger", by a group called "quantum Jump". This is a link to the lyrics.
