Ah, you are right.
That would really change my perspective and feelings about the song!
It has happened to me a few times, but such is life!
That would make me chuckle; I would still add it to my playlist, hahaha
restating the song’s message
Yeah, hahaha
Thanks for sharing this song with us!
Same!
You find an upbeat song that is really catchy, then you find out it is a really dark song when you see translated lyrics.
I still add it to my playlist though!
This song is an emblematic brazilian song, and brought world wide success to its creator, Sérgio Mendes. The song was recorded in 1966 as the name of the band suggest it. It is a cover of a 1963 song of the same name by Jorge Ben Jor, who was for a time a guitarist in Sergio Mendes band when touring in the US. The beginning anchor comes from an older song, Nanã Imborô by José Prates in 1958.
Despite the reputation of the song, the lyrics are a little bit cryptic.[1]

Sérgio Mendes, the pianist who gifted the world with the most famous version of the Brazilian classic “Mas Que Nada,” died on Thursday. Born in 1941, Mendes was a 20-year-old musician when he first arrived in the U.S. to perform at a historic Carnegie Hall concert that brought many bossa nova legends to New York in 1962. Two years after the show, Mendes moved to Los Angeles and never left the U.S. He also never abandoned Brazilian music, becoming one of the most significant ambassadors of bossa nova and samba around the world.[2]
It seems that censorship, echo chambers, and tribalism are no bueno and that diverse ideas should be welcomed in discussions.

I am right (I am right)
I am correct (I am correct)
If you disagree with me I’ll get really upset
Playboy Manbaby’s “Don’t Let It Be” is the contradictory soundtrack to your contemporary life experience. Grimly sarcastic - yet youthfully nihilistic - this music crashes into reality with a semi-coherent deliberation that can only be generated by a group of frail but over-caffeinated and eternally-anxious young adults. Playboy Manbaby is the theme song to the sentiment “what the f** am I doing with my life?” With a kind of spazzy, post-pop-punk sheen, this album is indecisive in both message and genre but never lacking in absolute intensity.[2]
“Neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said in a statement.
He added, “We sought commitments from both [former president Donald] Trump and [Vice President Kamala] Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries—and to honor our members’ right to strike—but were unable to secure those pledges.”
The Teamsters, which represents truck drivers, freight workers and others, held similar meetings with Trump and President Joe Biden when he was still seeking re-election.
On Wednesday, the union released the results of their survey, which was conducted after Biden dropped out of the race. It found that almost 60% of rank-and-file union members preferred to endorse Trump, while 34% backed Harris, according to an electronic member poll. A phone poll indicated similar margins, with 58% supporting Trump and 31% supporting Harris.
“While the Teamsters Executive Board is making no formal endorsement, the hardworking members of the Teamsters have been loud and clear— they want President Trump back in the White House!” said campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “These hardworking men and women are the backbone of America and President Trump will strongly stand up for them when he’s back in the White House.”[1]
Forgot about Obama…
Kamala is Hillary Clinton 2.0, a status quo warmonger, and does the bidding of the owner-class, like all of the politicians in the duopoly.
No need, it just didn’t do well.
It happens to those that try.
Take back the means of production…
Where have I heard that before, hahaha
Like the duopoly, we can criticize these warmongers on way more than just focusing on their looks; it downplays and distracts us from focusing on their abysmal record.
Edit: improved sentence structure
Like all websites, there are fake ones and then there are official ones.
Many will be clones of what the original website looked like.
Wrong question and framing.
Israel’s goal is not to get rid of Hamas or their leadership.
Their real goal has been to continue the genocide of the Palestinian people so as to take 100% control of the Palestinian land and to kickout the natives.
Not tagged NSFW and wrong community.
Good luck in life, hope all is well!

Harris or Trump, we will continue to fund Israel and support them until the end.
In the duopoly debate, they were trying to show off who supports Israel the most.
Trump: “She hates Israel, she wouldn’t even meet with Netanyahu…”
Harris: “That’s absolutely not true, I have my entire career and life supported Israel”
It seems like Russiagate comes every four years.
IMO: Another more important Russian one is keeping up with the trial of the Uhuru III taking place in Tampa, Florida.
Now “far-left” and “far-right” groups are involved in Russiagate trials.
Sadly, not the only billionaire pushing for more surveillance.
Another big one is Peter Thiel.
