Was way back in my adventurous youth: I had been in a police cell for several days near the Equator, very hot, when they decided to let me go I walked around a bit, that song in my head somehow, after a bit stepped into a little bar, bought a bottle of mineral water, which I proceeded to pour over my head. This drew some stares, to which I replied that I was just out of jail, at which everybody grinned and the bartender gave me a beer.

But it could have gone other ways, very easily. It felt really good to be out.

Sad, Adriana Calconhoto, Mentiras
There was never a video for the song, so people put together their own illustrations.




Happy, Rosa, Olodum

Version from the original album, O Movimento. No video.



Most of the live versions are recorded on the streets of Bahia, so the sound quality is bad. This version has decent sound quality but is not the original singer

Pink Floyd, "Wish You Were Here."
