Music: Piero Umiliani


Piero Umiliani
composed the soundtrack for Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso/Sweden, Heaven and Hell/Schweden - Hölle oder Paradies/ Sverige - Himmel eller helvete. It is typical laid-back lounge-style jazz-pop, á la 60s and 70s, often heard in European exploitation flicks of that era.

(The soundtrack of course contains the famous song "Mah-na-Mah-na"....)

""Mah Nà Mah Nà" debuted as part of Umiliani's soundtrack for the Italian
softcore pornography movie Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden, Hell and Heaven)
(1968), a pseudo-documentary film about wild sexual activity and other behavior
in Sweden ("Mah Nà Mah Nà" played under a portrayal of lesbian BDSM in the
film). A soundtrack album, "Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso" was released in 1968"
