I was a Summer Band Geek (But this geek's band got to play for several MLB teams and travel up and down the east coast while other kids had to mow the lawn) ANYWAY........this was the first song I had to learn. It's actually pretty easy when you rearrange it a bit for marching band. It still got us psyched every time.
I saw Will Ferrell's character Brennan of Step Brothers wear this band's logo on his shirt. So this is Pablo Cruise lol Peter Allen's version is the best because it's his song
This song is the worst thing I have ever heare. He was supposed to know more about Rio and Brazil. He says he is like Tarzan and there are a lot of monkeys around. No, mr. Cruise, Brazil is not a jungle.And besides we do not dance bamba, salsa and other latin songs. We dance SAMBA!!
Very stupid and boring song. Try to search what you are going to say before saying nonsense.
You don't have to know anything about rio or Brazil to write a song. You need imagination and creativity. The song captures a certain upbeat party mood which people associate with Rio. Brazil is not a jungle because you third world environmental rapists have been busy chopping down all the trees What you butchers are doing to that beautiful "jungle" is a crime against God and man. How many species of plants and animals have you barbarians rendered extinct?
@daviddarling9 "You're such a buzzkill ...." You ignorant child! Yes! The truth is a "buzzkill" . Are you defending the destruction of the Amazon rain forest? Or are you too stupid to know what you are doing? Why don't you read something about how the destruction of the rain forest will affect the world's climate. How extinct species could have contained substances which could have cured cancer and other diseases. Why do I waste my time with idiots? Who needs you?
@navigator3744 "Are you defending the destruction of the Amazon rain forest?"
You poor deluded green fascist. Look to the poor slash and burn farmers who need to eat. The data you watermelon collectivists is false. Climategate 1 and Climategate 2 have exposed the hoax you genuflect to.
@daviddarling9 Learn how to write. Your sentence with the word "watermelon" in it makes no sense. Do you even know what a fascist is? That Climategate bullshit you refer to is right wing Republican propaganda funded by the large corporations to justify the destruction of the environment in the name of greedy profit. "Slash and burn" farming is the most wasteful and destructive method of farming practised only by the most ignorant, backward, and thoughtless farmers on the planet.
" Your sentence with the word "watermelon" in it makes no sense."
It sure does.
"Do you even know what a fascist is?"
Yes "That Climategate bullshit you refer to is right wing Republican propaganda funded by the large corporations to justify the destruction of the environment in the name of greedy profit"
Total robot brained bullshit. Learn to think asshole.
"The data you watermelon collectivists is false" That sentence makes sense to you?
Explain it to me then. See if you can string together two coherent sentences without using silly little boy expressions like "buzz-kill" and "who needs you" to explain it. Unlike you, I am open minded and willing to be enlightened.
The data you watermelon statist powermonger collectivists use is false. In addition, Phil Jones and M. Mann are both in hiding. One is busy destroying damning emails and phony tree data and the other is hiding behind his lawyer.
Thanks for pointing my error out. I was worn out and tired from a long day of not caring what you think.
@navigator3744 "Slash and burn" farming is the most wasteful and destructive method of farming practised only by the most ignorant, backward, and thoughtless farmers on the planet. "
Well, well....scratch a watermelon, expose a crypto-racist.
@medicoonline-- Is the Tarzan line what you found offensive? Remember...this is a remake!! Also, back in the mid 70s(when this song was originally released) Brazil had a HUGE rainforest. That's where I heard the term "Lungs of the world". As far as the dances, get over it!! This is a solid, fluid & groove driven remake. Pablo Cruise did a noteworthy job on this.....I'm just sayin'. : )
@trezentos22 Bollocks! I like to hear a person who may actually have some Latin blood in 'em sing it. This version has more soul. Peter Allen is WAY too white. (I say this as a very white Scottish-American.)
@ allmetaldude: Yes, I have seen it and it is pretty funny stuff. Great tune tho - both the original and the re-make by Pablo Cruise. Those were great days ~
@ diddymuck: If I am not mistaken, David Jenkins did most of the lead vocals for Pablo Cruise. "A Place in the Sun" and "Love Will Find a Way" are a couple must-have albums from this band. This song however ("I go to Rio") is a cover of a tune originally written by Peter Allen.
@211bill Not to mention that Santana was from Frisco as was Pablo Cruise. I wonder how influential Santana was to those that came after them, like Pablo Cruise?
Saw them at a live performance taped for the old "Soundstage" show for PBS at the studio of station WTTW in Chicago, fall 1978. Very entertaining and energetic performers.
DON´´T GO TO RIO! It´´s too many violence and chaos on this city right now! The criminal gangs of Rio´´s "FAVELAS" are causing a war zone there!PEACE FOR RIO NOW!!!
Why did you miss out with the phone call intro on this song?

@journnie The name of that song is Always Be Together, and it appears on their Worlds Away album. It is/was our song, and was sung at our wedding.
When I look back after all those years
And how we spent so much time in tears
it's a wonder that we're face to face right now.
But something saw us through all those times
Something stronger than you or I
Here we are, and now it sure feels right.
