it is a ripoff (at least the intro) to what a fool believes. it's the better song tho! <3 I suggest actually listening to all things Rita first things first
damn never heard the paralamas version, eugh.

It's even more funny because such an innocuous clip for a song that mixes up one of the most common drugs used in Brazil plus a pretty sexed up lyric:

The Paralamas Fito Paez song is … okay, but maybe not the best use of their talents.

Lots of covers of “Tempo Perdido,” although there are also other songs with that to add confusion.

With that title.
Including one by Paolo Ricardo, the lead singer of RPM, not that I know anything about either apart from the names. Maybe the first, self-titled Legião Urbana album was originally supposed to be called RPM, but they had to change it because the other band had just put out a record.
― Live and Left Eye (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 19 July 2023 10:15 (ten months ago) link
Eh, not quite. The album title in question that RPM used so Legião Urbana couldn’t was Revoluções por minuto.
― Live and Left Eye (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 19 July 2023 10:22 (ten months ago) link
Just noticed that Paolo Ricardo’s second solo album Psico Trópico was produced by the famous, the infamous or at least ubiquitous and omnipresent Liminha, who first came to fame playing bass in Os Mutantes on their third album and then went on to produce tons of albums including classics like Paralamas’s Selvagem? and Titãs’s Cabeça Dinossauro in 1986 alone.

Haha I don't know the artist but feel instinctive revulsion towards any musical act that calls themselves "Jota Quest".
Would play a Brazilian bootleg dreamcast game called that tho.

I forgot that Rita Lee had been married to Arnaldo Baptista for a few years and maybe never quite knew how big she really became in Brazil.

Moraz's solo album Story of i features a number of Brazilian sequences, he even sketched drawings of South American percussion instruments for the liner notes.

I have never felt later to a party than about this: despite being a bossa-nova fan since my early 20s, it was literally in April that somebody mentioned Elis Regina and I said “heard of her, is she good?” and the person to whom I was speaking immediately played me Aguas de Março for the first time. I can’t believe I’d never heard it before? It is handily my new #1 “favourite song ever recorded”, like I am destroyed by it
― If you hate movies, this Barbie is for you (flamboyant goon tie included), Friday, 11 August 2023 16:45 (nine months ago) link
Ha, I remember I first heard of her because I was talking about some Brazilian stuff in an elevator in graduate school, probably some Tropicalia or Bebel Gilberto, and some stranger piped up to tell me about Elis Regina.

It is so weird that I missed it! Joao did a version of that song that I MUST have heard at some point, I guess it just bled into the surrounding tracks. I mentioned it to a friend this morning over text and he showed me two pairs of music friends who'd covered the Regina/Jobin version, and I just hadn't noticed. God. What other monuments to musical genius are residing in my blind spots, I wonder!
