The band is composed by Marcos Gabriel Faria (that pretends he is Bob Dylan, but he just manages to be something like Jake Bugg) at the guitar and the vocals, Lucas Boldrini (that is a white man with dreads) on the drums, Victor Hugo Ramalho on the bass and Elvis Gomes at the vocals and the guitar.

The real truth about Elvis Gomes, the singer and front-man from the band, is that he is a straight-edge. Elvis is afraid of drugs and addicted to hair coulored girls with basic empathy skills, whom he thinks are his therapists — even though, surprisingly, he's the one studying Psychology. He manages his twitter page @vdtehfoda and has a great relantionship with his fans, giving support and receiving feedback from them daily. His fans support him back because of his "pau médio" (scientific portuguese term for average dick), which appears to be an issue in today's society, due the falocentrist system that makes men feel obligated to have huge genitalias.

Many people confuses the band's name with a repair store of ceiling fans. Unfortunately, this isn't the truth. Ventilador de Teto is only one of the greatest bands from Rio de Janeiro's local scene.

Dama Triste dos Bairros Baixos
Ventilador de Teto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se você quer andar comigo
Tem que saber pra onde vai
Tem que saber de onde cê tá vindo
E a que horas seu ônibus sai
Eu tava procurando as minhas sementes
Nos cartazes e pontos de ônibus
Segurando a flor entre os dentes
Pra que você saiba que eu te amo

Dama triste dos bairros baixos

Você sabe que a cidade é confusa
Que de noite você não enxerga
E que até mesmo na Barra da Tijuca
Algumas pessoas têm lepra
Eu tava procurando as minhas sementes
Nos cartazes e pontos de ônibus
Dançando com a flor entre os dentes
Pra que você saiba que eu te amo

Dama triste dos bairros baixos
