*1968 · Philips · No. 5 in [Tropicália](https://waxonia.com/genre/tropicalia/)*

Caetano's lyric is a list of consumer instructions — learn English, drink Coca-Cola — sung with total sincerity. Satire and love song at once, and Costa refuses to tell you which.

### [Baby](https://waxonia.com/track/gal-costa--baby/)

*1968 · Philips · Picked by [Sung to Someone](https://waxonia.com/theme/sung-to-someone/)*

Caetano Veloso wrote it as a list of things you need to learn — the swimming pool, the margarine, me. Gal Costa sings them to one person in the year Brazil's dictatorship closed its fist. Addressed to a lover, and every word of it is also addressed past them.
