Measured from the YouTube master on . Section labels describe how the energy of the recording moves, not its musical form — a machine can see loudness climb and jump, it cannot hear a chorus arrive. Anything we were not confident enough to state is left out rather than shown with a caveat.
Ranked No. 1 in Baile Funk
"I only want to be happy, to walk freely in the favela where I was born." The genre's most quoted line, over the most basic possible beat.
Picked by Miami
"I only want to be happy." Six years after Marlboro, over the most basic possible version of the imported beat, and it is the most quoted line in Brazilian funk. The pattern has stopped being borrowed and become local property.
