“Marcos Valle: Ambassador to Good Vibes, Champion of Summertime, Spokesperson for Beach Bods. Lyrically, "Estrelar" is a workout motivation anthem set to an infectiously funky instrumental (ooh that bassline) encouraging listeners to get their physique good and toned 'cuz summer is near. Key lyrics to muse upon: "Domingo é dia / de um ti-ti-ti a mais e de bumbum pra trás" (in translation: "Sunday's the day / for gossiping and showing off that butt")...just like the good Lord meant for Sundays to be spent! The chorus of this song is pure boogie heaven musical ecstasy and literally cannot be grown tired of.
I got to see Valle in concert recently, and at age 82, the man is a portrait of health, so I can only imagine he's been taking his own words to heart for a while. ("Estrelar" is the lead track from Marcos Valle's awesome 1983 self-titled album. The album cover shown above captures the vibe perfectly...saúde, Marcos!)”
