lucas_leobas Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 All the foreigners will not understand this, but it's absolutely hilarious. "Yes, we créu" is a joke mixing Obama's phrase with one of the most successful carioca funk songs, the créu. The phrase became popular in Brazilian internet (specially on twitter), at the moment Rio's bid won. When you use créu as a verb (please don't do it) it means something like "screw" (in a sexual way), as in "Yes, we screwed all the other cities and won it". Pretty arrogant, but funny too. I remember that, at the peak of the créu's popularity, Fifa's site had an article in English called "Flamengo créus Botafogo at the Maracanã". It was hilarious. I hope you all have the chance to do the créu dance in Rio in 2016. It's like an oversexed version of Macarena, as you saw in the video :lol: I don't think Clinton could get away with this one, though :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braz Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hi, everyone. I've been meaning to post here for a long time. This disturbing video made me do it. Foreigners should be aware that there was a time - not that long ago - when Cariocas (the natives of Rio de Janeiro) knew how to make music: Choro (Apanhei-te Cavaquinho, Composer Ernesto Nazareth): Classical (Bachiana Brasileira n. 2 - Trenzinho Caipira, Composer Heitor Villa-Lobos): Samba (Conversa de Botequim, Composer: Noel Rosa): hhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJoNbOFYUoQ Bossa Nova (Agua de Beber, Composer and performer Antonio Carlos Jobim): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucas_leobas Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Music to Brazilians is like poetry to Russians. Braz, don't worry, everyone knows this is just one of the types of music of Rio. More popular and less classy than others, of course. It's funny, créu never fails to cheer me up. It was released at the time I moved to my fraternity in my junior university year, it was like a mandatory item of our Friday's parties. It's all about fun and sex.

How nice to associate your winning of the Olympic Games with a couple of dancing sluts/whores. I don't think this video should be promoted to the international community much. You really want the world to associate Rio 2016 with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this video should be promoted to the international community much. You really want the world to associate Rio 2016 with that? You are absolutely right. This is embarrassing, demeaning to women in general, and disrespectful - and why would Brazilians need to associate their country MORE with "fun and sex"?... How has that worked, image-wise? Brazilians, and especially Brazilian women, are already seen abroad as perverts and prostitutes. Instead of grace in victory, vulgarity: that is Brazil in a nutshell. That is not funny at all, it is just poor taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braz Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Brazilians, and especially Brazilian women, are already seen abroad as perverts and prostitutes. By the way, this is almost always an unfair assessment. However, things such as this vulgar phrase and this vulgar video certainly do not help. Brazilians want to be treated as grown-ups? Then, grow up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas_leobas Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Brazilians want to be treated as grown-ups? Then, grow up! What's more grown-up than sex? Now, seriously, I do not think this kind of dance is demeaning to women, and I think this is an ill-conceived judgement of yours. There's a guy dancing there too, why don't you think it's demeaning to us? Why can we do it and they can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneTimeOnly Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 And why isn't that demeaning too? The whole video is! The song. Everything.

Créu and the Watermelon woman (yes, that's what she's called :lol: can anyone guess why?). The people reading this and watching that hilarious video are not the world, or a significant part of it.

Let us Brazilians joke in our way. By the way, hate carioca funk, but I need to admit this is funny. I'd rather bossa nova and samba (some of most beautiful rhythms World knows).

OneTimeOnly Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 So get used to my house... Wow, there's that arrogance again. Seems to me Brazil - if represented by you and some of your compatriots around here - is a country very immature in the international ways of the Olympics. And that's just for starters. Keep it up, klassy kariokas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
