    Black Underpants (Calcinha Preta) and Iron into the Doll (?) (Ferro na Boneca) are some of the popular bands here in brazilian Northeast. I personally dislike this kind of music (and lyrics). But you are right, people here have a way with words and a good sense of humour.

    Thanks for the comment. I know this type of music is politically incorrect, but my husband and I were still laughing at the "Senta que é de Menta" refrain. I owuld translate Ferro na Boneca as, um, Take care of business, sort of? It loses the flavor and strength of the expression, doesn't it?

    Gee, thanks for the comment. What the lyrics say is "You made me promses you didn't keep, you teased me with your grape, now sit (on it) it's (made of) mint, it's (made of) mint.
    Yes, it's sexual. Yes, it's not conceivable to hear in the USA on prime time or no time. But in Brazil anything goes. Visit before you marry.
