    "Go to Rio" by the flamboyant Peter Allen, or...



    "Copacabana" by the flamboyant Barry Manilow?



    And who is the better musician/instrumentalist overall?

    Neither.
    'Rio' by Mike Nesmith shits on both from a great height.



    And the video, being as it was the first proper video in the format everyone is familiar with.

    Barry Manilow, one of several obviously queer entertainers from the 1970s that attracted hordes of clueless female admirers ... others included Liberace and Paul Linde

    My Dad's 2nd wife was borderline obsessed with Manilow in the 70s and 80s.
    Nice woman though, great legs.

    Even this, with its initial 'Brazil' reference is a better tune than Manilow:

    Only if you're a girl from 1982 or even worse, a boy from 1982 claiming to like it in order to get to 1st base with the girl...

    Rio Grande do Sol or Rio Grande do Norte are states in Brazil.
    I doubt Duran Duran would be using them as any reference in their shit song...Im just trying to help Sliced out.

    Not really.
    It's from that era and you know of it.
    Being born years after the event is neither here or there.

    It's called History, sonny...

    No, it isn't.
    Just like Cristiano Ronaldo isn't the greatest footballer/free-kick-taker ever.

    "Brazil" by the Ritchie Family?

    "I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet" by Gonzales had a nice Brazilian flavor.

    Yeah, 9 months later when it already states in the thread, more than once, it's got nothing to do with Brazil.


    As usual, you dumb cunt, well done.

    Do I agitate you? Do you find yourself sighing in disgust when you read my uninformed posts with pathetic attempts to match your musical knowledge?

    No. I just think you're the craziest poster on here.
    Like, serious issues, mentally, but without any humour to go with it to cause amusement to others.

    So, naturally, the others on here tear you a new one every chance they get.




    As you were, fucktard.

    Yeah, yeah, I remember you saying this back in December and I thought ´Yeah, he´s right, I was just gonna suggest this´......then forgot all about it for a year.

    Bizarro, huh?
