The Girl From Ipanema

I don't even care whether you speak Portuguese or not, Astrid Gilberto will seduce you with back-up by Jobim and Uncle Stan of Getz that powered this jazz masterpiece across genres to make it Billboard's number one song on the pop charts for the entire year of 1966.

A year in which, future historians once proved mathematically, human civilization reached its greatest potential. Everything after Woodstock was a downhill run into what those whom wanted so badly to pretend not to know wished and prayed they could've been wrong about have lived to see come to pass.

We can blame the ilk of David Byrne for economic collapse because of the vibes put out by pretended post-apocalyptic anthems like 'Nothing But Flowers' and 'And She Was.'

Remember that in the most ancient creation myths of human culture, the uniVerse hearse elf was created by a song - all the gods (& Godesses!) sang One Song. Uni Verse.

In spite and because of the proliferation of superstitions, the perseverance of cultural sonic and tonal patterns remain archetypical.

Some aural sects also proselytize that musical voodoo can bring back beach culture and even flower power by hearkening to the Peace movement and its mod agogo soundtrack.

So listening to this song once a day is our only hope to save human society.

Besides all that, Astrid Gilberto WAS the Girl from Impenema.
