Svezia, inferno e paradiso (1968)

"Edmund Purdom narrates a pseudo-documentary about sexuality in Sweden. 
It shows contraceptives for teen girls, lesbian nightclubs, wife 
swapping, porno movies, biker gangs, and Walpurgis Night celebrations. 
It also examines Sweden's purported drug, drinking and suicide problems. 
It features the original appearance of the Piero Umiliani's nonsense 
song "Mah Nà Mah Nà" which was later popularized by "Sesame Street" and 
"The Muppet Show".  "

It's actually an Italian film.
