Fred Waring, MC Loma e as Gêmeas Lacração

I squibbed a couple of these for the People's Pop Polls.

Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians "Love For Sale" (poll link):

You read about the primordial depths; well, Waring's "Love For Sale" is the primordial surface, as the woodwinds skip along like every Saturday morning cartoon from my childhood. Song has the lilt and cheerful sadness that Cole Porter liked to insert into everything.

MC Loma e as Gêmeas Lacração "Quero Em Dobro" (poll link)

"Quero Em Dobro" is my nom, blissful and horny and funny, the guys in the video wiggling almost as much as the women. MC Loma is one of the great popularizers of Brega Funk – "brega" translates as cheap or cheesy or tacky, glorying in its inexpensive electronics from the countryside. Rural beats and urban content.

Meta paragraph for Substack: "Quero Em Dobro" foreshadows a future episode several posts down the line in the Cars That Don't Go Boom series. Potential titles: The Return Of The Bass, The Boom Strikes Back. Anyhow, rhythm sounds pouring in from the northeast, keybs imitating tubas and accordions, The Boom Is Back. Or if I want to go Robert Ludlum on you: The Pernambuco Variant, The Brega Intubation.
