Yesterday we hit the night and went to one of the most fun events currently in the São Paulo nightlife: Festa Javali, which takes place every two weeks and fills the dancefloor with people of all walks of life, who are there to dance to a mix of Brazilian and non-Brazilian non-obvious 'classics' of the 80s and 90s (think B-52s, New Order, Tim Maia, but even including Madonna and the occasional Euro-trash of the 80s), along with some recent stuff too.
One of the tracks that made its appearence yesterday was a gem of Brazilian 80s pop, 'Totalmente demais', a big hit by the otherwise not very remarkable band Hanoi-Hanoi. The original version is of 1985, and soon after Caetano Veloso recorded the song in one of his (many) live albums, Totalmente Demais (1986). (He clearly did like the song a lot...) So here are the two versions, the ultra-pop original version and Caetano's very 'caetany' version. (And check here for a recent live version with Caetano and Arnaldo Brandão, the composer and original singer of the song.)
