[simon c]

[ozwinner]

Cabbage patch??


Al :p

[bitingmidge]

P :D

[ozwinner]

She's from the right side of the road.......


Al :p

[craigb]

Umm, how about Iponema ?

Craig (who might just go ahhhh)

[Cliff Rogers]

So who was watching Spicks & Specks last night? :D

Not me that's for sure.

What a load of indulgent unfunny c-r-a-p !! :(

Did I mention that I didn't ike it? :)

[simon c]

Yes, very good Craig and Cliff.

That is a picture of Helouise Pinheiro, who was the Girl from Ipanema who inspired the song and it was on Spicks & Specks.

Cliff, not sure if you noticed but they got the next bit wrong. He said that the two composers who were inspired by her were the Brazilians Joao Gilberto and Stan Getz. Now, Stan Getz is an American and they were the two who made the song popular, but they weren't the two composers. Maybe an email to the ABC is in order.

You needed to be a Ross Noble fan to enjoy that episode as nobody else really got a chance to say anything. The bloke's a nutcase.

I didn't know that bit, do you know who the real composers were?

I'm sure if you don't tell them, some one will.

[simon c]

Antonio Jobim is the person people talk of as the composer (but there are other people who I don't remember). Jobim actually appeared on the Frank Sinatra verison of the song.

[Cliff Rogers]

ahhhh.... :D

[simon c]

So I told them and this was the reply:

Dear Mr C

Thank you for your email regarding the program Spicks and Specks.

Your comments regarding the song Girl of Ipanema are correct. Joao Gilberto and Stan Getz made the song a worldwide hit in 1964, but they did not write it. There is a great reference page at http://www.joaogilberto.org/daniella.htm for more information.

I will pass your email on to the producers of the program for their information, and I thank you for bringing this matter to the ABC's attention.


Yours sincerely,

Matthew Galvin

The composer (or co-composer) was V de Moraes, can't remeber his first name or the correct spelling of his surname. Venicio or something similar.

Mick (who grew up hearing his dad listening to Bossa Nova music)

[journeyman Mick]

Okay, I rang my dad, music composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim, lyrics by the poet Vinicius de Moraes. Wonderful stuff, the Portugues influence gives all the music a minor key melancholy feel, and listening to lyrics in Portuguese makes you wish you could understand it while transporting you to far away places in your mind's eye. Beautiful language for singing, mellifluous. Oh, did I mention that I really like this stuff? :D Hmmm, might have to copy some of my dad's old records onto CD.

Olha que coisa mais linda, Mais cheia de graça, É ela menina, Que vem que passa
Num doce balanço, caminho do mar
Moça do corpo dourado, Do sol de Ipanema, O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar
Ah, porque estou tão sozinho, Ah, porque tudo é tão triste, Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha, Que também passa sozinha
Ah, se ela soubesse, Que quando ela passa, O mundo sorrindo se enche de graça
E fica mais lindo, Por causa do amor



"a-a-ah!" :D


If you want the cords, they are here....

Hmmmm..it sure loses something in tanslation to English doesn't it?

"It looks at that prettier thing, fuller of favour, Is it girl, Who comes that she passes In a candy rocking, way of the Young sea of the golden body, Of the sun of Ipanema, balanced its is more than a poem Is the thing prettier than I already vi to pass Ah, because I am so alone, Ah, because everything is so sad, Ah, the beauty that exists the beauty that is not only mine, That also it passes alone Ah, if it knew, That when it passes, the world smiling if it fulls of favour and he is prettier, Because of the love"

Regards

Neil.

The English version was completely re-written and doesn't resemable the original Portugese version very much at all.

Nope, I meant Landseka's post 'cos he did the same thing as Al only 17 hours sooner.

The link that you refer to is moving a hijack to a higher plane, it is a crossposted hijack so you have to have read several different posts to know where it came from. :D
