Mas Que Nada! Butchered by the Black Eyed Peas!

BRASIL --

Apparently, the Black Eyed Peas covered one of my favorite Brasilian songs. I found this out moments ago when searching for the original 'Mas Que Nada' to post to the blog. I have to give them credit, they had to dig deep to find this one to steal and they tried to keep it original. Looks like they got classic artist Brazilian Sergio Mendes to participate as well. They even kept a good bit of the original portugese lyrics intact.

I'll let you be the judge:

Sergio Mendes/Brasil '66

  2. The '66 version appears in the first Austin Powers movie.
