Propaganda
Sepultura (Chaos A.D. 1993) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
bebedouro vai tremer, bom gostoso e barato
hot dog no prato, hot dog no prato
e tem até purê, sua fome eu mato
991193187
hot dog no prato cumpre o que promete
991193187
Rua Benedito Rosa ......
servindo um bebedouro toda com um belo hot dog wolf
The lyrics to Sepultura's song Propaganda criticize the manipulative nature of advertising and the media's ability to shape public opinion. The opening lines of the song describe a cheap and filling food item, a hot dog, being marketed to the public. The repetition of the phrase "hot dog no prato" emphasizes the idea of the product being pushed onto the consumer. The subsequent lines encourage the audience to indulge in the hot dog, tempting them with its affordability and tasty extras like mashed potatoes.
However, the song takes a turn when the lyrics abruptly shift to a seemingly unrelated phone number. This juxtaposition is intentional and points to the way that modern media is designed to distract us from important issues with catchy slogans and jingles. The repeated phone number suggests an attempt to embed a subliminal message into the listener's consciousness.
This song is a scathing critique of the ways in which advertising and other forms of propaganda shape the way we think and act. It warns against complacency and urges us to question the messages we receive from the media.
