Infidels party harder

Despite the suspicion of the coach, Osama managed to play against
Poland during the '74 World Cup, in Germany. Brazil lost by 1-0 and finished in 4th

The concept of war on terror had not and will not stick down here. Rock-solid categories like that one can't stand the test of a Brazilian summer, not to mention a Brazilian carnival. If there is any melting pot at work in Brazil, it doesn't melt races, as one edenically may think, but ideas. Call it dissolution in conciliation, many shades between yellow and green.

One minute, though. That doesn't imply that Brazil is a terror-proof country, not at all. If Bin Laden and his allies dig well our spiritual landscape, they may actually find reasons to get angry. The most prominent, maybe, is our flair for breaking the sharia. Take some old-fashioned carnival songs (marchinhas).

Take 1:

Allah la la oh oh oh
Wow, it's hot in here
We've crossed the Sahara
The sun was pretty hot and burned our face

Allah la la oh oh oh
Wow, it's hot in here

Nice girl
Your moves are killing

Allah, Allah
Allah, my good Allah
Allah, my good Allah

We've came all the way from Egypt and many times stopped by to pray:
Allah, my good Allah
Send water for Ioh-ioh
Send water for Iah-Iah
Allah, my good Allah
Allah la la oh oh oh

It's hot in here

Take 2:

Check out Zezé's hairstyle
Is he, is he gay?

Is he bossa nova?
Is he Muhammad?

He seems like a queer
But I'm not sure about it

We're all damned. Definitely.
