The band is considered one of the main groups in Brazilian rock. Like most groups from the 1960s, Os Mutantes were heavily influenced by The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Sly & the Family Stone. However, Brazilian musicians were also immersed in their local culture, exercising their own creativity in the use of feedback, distortion and studio tricks of all kinds, just as was done by the Liverpool quartet and the group The Beach Boys. In this sense, Mutantes were pioneers in mixing rock and roll with Brazilian musical and thematic elements. Another characteristic of the group was irreverence. Like Os Mutantes, there began to be a kind of mixture of foreign and Brazilian music and the addition of new ideas, with doses of experimentalism, thus opening the way for musical hybridism.
Os Mutantes began their activities in 1966, as a trio, when they performed on the program O Pequeno Mundo de Ronnie Von on TV Record. On the eve of the program's premiere, the trio had the name "Os Bruxos", but neither Rita Lee nor the Dias Baptista brothers (Arnaldo and Sérgio) were satisfied with that name and wanted to change it. According to Carlos Calado,[2] the idea for the name "Os Mutantes" came from an ironic joke between Alberto Helena Júnior, the program's producer, and Ronnie Von, who, at the time, was reading O Império dos Mutantes, by Stefan Wul, and did not talk about any other subject. "Are you guys still looking for a name for the boys ensemble? Why not The Mutants?" Ronnie Von liked Alberto Helena's idea and took it to the group, who approved it immediately.
The group soon became one of the main exponents of the new MPB, influenced by Tropicália, until it dissolved in 1978. Over these twelve years, nine albums were recorded, two of which - O A e o Z and Tecnicolor - were only released on 1990s, when the group began to be recognized, on the national and international rock scene, as one of the most creative, dynamic, radical and talented of the psychedelic era and the history of world rock. In 2006, the band reunited, without Rita Lee or Liminha, but with the presence of Arnaldo Baptista and Zélia Duncan on vocals. The following year, Arnaldo and Zélia left the band, which was recomposed with other musicians and continues to perform under the leadership of Sérgio Dias, the only remaining member of the original lineup.

Os Mutantes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu tirava de lá um S
Quando a saudade viesse eu cortava esse S
Em cada pedaço um anzol
Só precisava de um guarda-sol
Eternamente contigo num branco lençol.
A cartomante uma carta me desse
Eu queria que um rei viesse
Mas a feiticeira do mal
Ela desmantela meu carnaval
E me separa de ti quando chega o Natal.
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Deixar recado ou bater no meu quarto.
Ah, se me desse uma chance a magia
Que noite de fantasia
Alguém me olha, confia
Me leva pra casa
Me ama, depois adormece
Fosse um ladrão, eu seria capaz
Seu cora�o eu roubava, tirava-lhe a paz.
Sabe a Virgínia daquele janeiro?
Casou-se com um motoqueiro, paixão e pouco dinheiro
Feliz habitava abrigo do banco central
Quando o assalto do dia se dá
No tiroteio amamenta e lê seu jornal.
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Deixar recado ou bater no meu quarto.
The lyrics of Os Mutantes' song "Teclar" describes the singer's longing for a loved one and their desire to be connected to them in some way, whether it be through a phone call, a message, or just a glance. The song begins with a playful image of the singer keeping the letter "S" in their chest, ready to cut it into small pieces and use them to catch fish if they ever feel lonely. This shows the singer's resourcefulness and creativity in finding ways to cope with their emotions.
The song then shifts to more romantic notions, with the singer wishing for a tarot card reader to tell them that they will marry the person they love on the day of kings. However, the "witch of evil" disrupts their plans and separates them during the holiday season. The singer continues to dream of a chance encounter with their loved one, where they can be swept away in a night of magic and passion.
Overall, the lyrics of "Teclar" speak to the universal experience of longing for connection and love, and the various ways we try to find it in our lives.

Um abc no meu peito coubesse
I wish there was room for the alphabet on my chest
Eu tirava de lá um S
I would remove the 's' when I feel longing
Quando a saudade viesse eu cortava esse S
Whenever I feel homesick, I get rid of the 's'
Em cada pedaço um anzol
Each piece has a fishing hook
Só precisava de um guarda-sol
All I need is a parasol
Eternamente contigo num branco lençol.
Forever with you under a white sheet
A cartomante uma carta me desse
If a fortune teller gave me a card
Eu queria que um rei viesse
I wish a king would come
Eu me casava contigo no dia de reis
I would marry you on Epiphany day
Mas a feiticeira do mal
But the evil witch
Ela desmantela meu carnaval
She ruins my carnival
E me separa de ti quando chega o Natal.
And separates me from you when Christmas comes
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Type, someone type to me
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Call or exchange glances
Deixar recado ou bater no meu quarto.
Leave a message or knock on my door
Ah, se me desse uma chance a magia
If the magic gave me a chance
Que noite de fantasia
What a night of fantasy
Alguém me olha, confia
Someone looks at me, trusts me
Me leva pra casa
Takes me home
Me ama, depois adormece
Loves me, then falls asleep
Fosse um ladrão, eu seria capaz
If I were a thief, I would be capable
Seu coração eu roubava, tirava-lhe a paz.
I would steal your heart, take your peace
Sabe a Virgínia daquele janeiro?
Do you know Virginia from that January?
Casou-se com um motoqueiro, paixão e pouco dinheiro
Married a biker, passion and little money
Feliz habitava abrigo do banco central
Happily lived in the shelter of the central bank
Quando o assalto do dia se dá
When the day's robbery happens
No tiroteio amamenta e lê seu jornal.
She breastfeeds and reads her newspaper during the shoot-out
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Type, someone type to me
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Call or exchange glances
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Type, someone type to me
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Call or exchange glances
Deixar recado ou bater no meu quarto.
Leave a message or knock on my door
