Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - Mas Que Nada (1966)
Modestly adventurous, while also endeavouring to look both ways when crossing the road.

Sai da minha frente, que eu quero passar
Thursday music corner: Linda gravata, Sérgio! Brazilian bossa nova exponent Sérgio Mendes (b.1941) covered Jorge Ben’s 1963 song with his band Brasil '66 on their debut album Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66. In the US the single reached number 47 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number four on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. Brazilians use ‘Mas que nada’ (or just ‘que nada’) colloquially to disagree with someone. A fitting English translation might be a sarcastic "Yeah, right!" or "No way!"
