Brasilian Culture Getting Crazy



The new video from Brasilian group Cansei De Ser Sexy (Tired of Being Sexy) simultaneously celebrates and parodies not only music videos, but also music. Some will find this video for their song, "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from Above" inscrutable. Others...genius. A must-watch for anyone interested in globalization. Or dancing.
 
Comments:
Nice. Evidently, it's 1984 in Brazil. Old American 80s groups should head south for a second career.
 
Well, first, not that there was anything wrong with 1984, but I disagree...there's an ironic, self-parodying quality to the video that was entirely missing from those '80s groups.
 
This seems 100% derivative to me. Trite music, trite video, trite lyrics, cute girl. I dare you to dance this way in public.
