  • If u forget ur lyrics.... just do a turn! lol 

  • @bbukfan

    Some people sang live.

  • @bbukfan absolutely not, you could sing live if you wished(robbie williams never ever lip synched-dont like his music but he sang live) as did many credible artists/mostly indie bands, yeah lots of people mimed but that was their choice, totp did not "demand" it.

  • top of the pops at one time featured live performance but for a variety of reasons this practice was shunned in favor of lip synch...

  • The lip syncing is shocking! But I heard that TOTPs made everyone do lip syncing, not sure if it's true though.

  • Anyone interested in watching the song played by its composer, Marcos Valle, look for the video called BossaCucaNova & Marcos Valle - Os Grilos - DVD here on YouTube. Enjoy!

  • hangshimkim: anyone who goes beyond Wikipedia knows the song was composed originally in portuguese as "Os Grilos" by Marcos and Paulo Sérgio Valle, by 1964... It may have had its English version sung by Astrud Gilberto in 1965, by Marcos in 1968 or whatever, but, again, anyone going beyond Wikipedia knows that Astrud was not a composer herself. It usually happened when Americans became interested in bossa-nova that songs in portuguese were THEN translated to English and not the opposite...

  • @alombo67 Haha, sorry to say, but, you're WRONG!!!! In 1965 Astrud Gilberto recorded and released the song. The song didn't become popular till 1967 when Marcos Valle COVERED the single and released it himself. His version was far more successful than the original. He re-wrote the lyrics in Portuguese and gave the song a more samba sound. Please do YOUR homework before you start mouthing off like you know what you're talking about.

  • Sorry to say it, but this woman should know who the composer of the song she's ripping off is! It's certainly not Astrud Gilberto (although she may have sung it as well). It's Marcos Valle and it appears on his record from 1968 called Samba '68. Please do your homework and show some respect, specially if you're going to rip off somebody else!

  • everyone sings lipsync on top of the pops
