Ever wonder what the Muppets masterpiece "Mah Na Mah Na" would sound like if it were sung by a Brazilian pederast smack addict?
Wonder no more.
Now, I'm sure the singer was a perfectly nice guy who was trying to make a living selling Samba records. And selling Samba records is a perfectly respectable living. Antonio Carlos Jobim was a genius and wrote some of the most compelling music of the 20th century. And Astrud Gilberto infused many of them with a warm sensuality that makes me want to chase after her now, despite her advancing age.
But, really, this just sounds like your Dirty Uncle Ernie after a few highballs and a rousing game of "Sit On My Lap and Let Me Tell You a Story About the War".
Blame for this music file sits squarely on the shoulders of Sabadabada who provides me with a bi-monthly fix of some of the strangest, yet wonderful, Brazilian gems you could never find on the store shelf. God bless 'em for his work, but damn him to hell for this one.
I'm almost scared to leave a comment today, but will, nevertheless.
ReplyDeleteThis track is exactly as you described. I found myself giggling manaically imagining a Brazilian Uncle Ernie.
Oddly enough, I've been humming this tune for DAYS. It's so weird that you mention it and have found such a, um, interesting rendition!
