Mamonas Assassinas and Rush (coincidences)e

Mamonas Assassinas are a huge band that made success in 1995 in Brazil. Hilarious songs, comic attitudes on stages in TV programs this band is one of the greatest in the Brazilian history. Unfortunately an air crash interrupted a fantastic carrier few months after its beginning.

Some Rush fans know that before becoming popular, Mamonas used to play bunch of Rush songs and some people say it had a Rush cover band. It´s possible to hear on their only on  CD, the “Tom Sawyer” introduction on the eleventh track “bois don´t cry” (it´s a pun because “bois” in Portuguese means “oxs”, and directly refers to the “The Cure” song “Boys Don’t Cry”).

Ok, bunch of Rush fans know that, but I don´t know if they already noticed it starts exactly on 2:11 to 2:12. It´s pretty much similar to a Rush number, don´t you think? Coincidently or not, Mamonas honored the Power Trio exactly in “Rush Time”.

(Spoiler) In 2112 Back to the Future, McFly ByNight goes out from the University upset and has an argument with his girlfriend. In English they talk about Rush´s influence on the movie, but in Portuguese this part is a little different. Actually they are talking about Mamonas Assassinas and how Rush has influenced it.

The girl doesn´t believe in that influence and says: “I have a Mamonas Assassinas CD in my hand, and I wanna know where is Rush here?”

Exactly in this moment, behind her, it´s possible to see a yellow car moving away, and McFly ByNight says:”Look behind you, there´s a “yellow Brasilia” over there.

Also being the capital of Brazil, Brasilia is the name of an old car fabricated a long time ago, and symbolizes the mainly Mamonas ´s hit. In the video clip they are travelling in a Brasilia by roadway and sing about a girl and this car.
