[spellerlittlewing]

[snifflesofdeath]

miss match indeed ...yet always twirling .....TWIRLING ....twirling towards freedom ..

[paliduchaa]

biutiful! no lo había visto nunca, que bonito!

[clairens]

wtf..this is so out of rythm it doesn't make sense anymore....sometimes it can be cool, but this is rubbish...and, for those who'd say why am i listening then, I am not. I stopped to write this at 0.44 and will go on to another version. :)

[CarolineCoelhaMeluca]

@clairens Well - they're from france, and an alternative band,so I don't see how you'd expect them to do a *fab* job of a bossa song either way. It seems pretty mismatched to me...but no bother.

[fortrevoryoung]

That is not Herbie Mann.

[humdeabril]

@fortrevoryoung Herbie Mann played in the track, he's just not in the video, where he was replaced by the goofy guy in a mexican (?) hat - whose performance btw suits well the "tropical irony" take of both the video and the arrangements. this version was recorded for the 1996 collective album Red+Hot+Rio - which btw featured Tom Jobim himself in another track ("How insensitive", sang with Sting).

[notfromhere7]

[LeoxSevered]

Am I weird for loving this? Cause i do :D

[poum1976]

Excelente. Uma raridade!!

[eleeshamalakar]

Jesus Christ how could I just find out that Herbie once collaborated with Stereolab?

anyway, really love the tune, as always :)

[erickliddell]

This group is such a breath of fresh air

[allegro67]

I love this clip. Really cool. The flute player is ok. Not Herbie Mann but that is totally fine. He works it.

[Chickendoc]

This clip can be found on the CD "Red Hot + Rio" - put together around 1996 for the Red Hot Foundation, combating AIDS. There is a video to accompany the CD, but I cannot find it anywhere. The whole CD is covers of great Brazilian music. The kicker on it for me is George Michael and Astrud Gilberto doing "Desafinado" - it'll stop you dead in your tracks.

Grammy Award for being very cute.

[Dandrum]

Yes, most definitely not Herbie Mann. This guy is far too young, less adept, and much more amateurish than Mann

[maturitysucks]

Stereolab rule!

[makitanki]

[redwallace]

Which one of the members passed away a few years ago?

[Andrewsmate]

Mary Hanson with the tamborine

[Gingoose]

Mary Hansen died, but she is playing the guitar in this clip

[Gingoose]

Then of course she switches to tambourine! wierd
