A Minha Menina
Os Mutantes Lyrics
Tosse, todo mundo tossindo
Ha ha ha ha
Ela é minha menina
E eu sou o menino dela
Ela é o meu amor
E eu sou o amor todinho dela
Chama, hu
A lua prateada se escondeu
Amanheceu um lindo dia
Cheirando alegria
Pois eu sonhei e acordei pensando nela
Pois ela é minha menina
E eu sou o menino dela
Ela é o meu amor
E eu sou o amor todinho dela
A roseira já deu rosas
E a rosa que eu ganhei foi ela
Por ela eu ponho o meu coração
Na frente da razão
E vou dizer pra todo mundo
Como gosto dela
Pois ela é minha menina
E eu sou o menino dela
Ela é o meu amor
E eu sou o amor todinho dela
Uh, vai, Jorge
A lua prateada se escondeu
E o sol dourado apareceu
Amanheceu um lindo dia
Cheirando alegria
Pois eu sonhei e acordei pensando nela
Pois ela é minha menina
E eu sou o menino dela
Ela é o meu amor
E eu sou o amor todinho dela
Minha menina
Minha menina
Minha menina

Os Mutantes were formed in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1966 by brothers Arnaldo Baptista and Sérgio Dias and lead singer Rita Lee. Active during the Tropicalia movement of the late 1960s, they took Brazilian music and fused it with British rock and American psychedelia to create a distinctive, vibrant sound. Along with Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso and Tom Zé, they helped define the Tropicália movement.

Along with Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso and Tom Zé, they helped define the Tropicália movement.
While still in high school, Rita Lee teamed with brothers Arnaldo Baptista and Sérgio Dias Baptista to form the band. A trio of brash musical experimentalists, the group fiddled with self-made instruments, distortion, feedback, musique concrète, and studio tricks of all kinds to create a lighthearted, playful version of extreme Brazilian music. This was their best creative moment.
While Gil and Veloso were first imprisoned and then exiled to England during the military dictatorship in Brazil (1969-1972) the Mutantes left the Tropicália movement, adding a more psychedelic flavour to their sound.
The 70s seemed to be a time of great upheaval for the band, both creatively and personally. They left behind their "tropicalist" roots and made their first lysergic trip which resulted in the album "Jardim Elétrico" (Eletric Garden) and "O Primeiro Dia do Resto da Sua Vida (rare album - title translates as "The First Day of the Rest of Your Life"). With influences of the progressive band Yes the trio (with Liminha at the bass and Dinho at the drums) made their last album together "Os Mutantes e Seus Cometas no País dos Bauretz".
Rita Lee left the band for reasons that remain unclear; Lee says they kicked her out, while Arnaldo blames her, claiming she sent him to mental institutions for his excessive LSD usage. In an attempt to escape from one psychiatric institution he jumped from the 5th floor, after which he was in a coma for 6 weeks, only very slowly recovering from his fall. After the Rita left in 1972 they developed two fantastic psychedelic-progressive-hippie-rock albums which were "O 'A' e o 'Z'" and "Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol" (without Arnaldo), which went on to be their best selling album.
With the beginning of the 80s the Mutantes were almost forgotten or considered to be the old hippie-band of the now famous former Mutantes singer Rita Lee. In the 90s Beck and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana began to spread the word about them.
Finally, thanks to promotion and namechecking by David Byrne through his record label Luaka Bop, Os Mutantes has gained a greater global audience within the past decade. With Luaka Bop they released the album Everything is Possible! which is a compilation of their greatest hits (as curated by David Byrne). On 22nd of May 2006 they played their first concert since 1975 with the Baptista brothers reunited on stage. Apparently Devendra Banhart asked them to be their roadie for the show which led them to invite him as a support act.
