I suppose they’re all pretty similar, but Bond’s version has the electronic edge to it.

See! Dan, that’s totally what I’ve been thinking since the tournament began. it sounds very similar to it. Are you another Bond fan as well? They’re one of my favorites.

Well, i actually think the version is played after a gol is samba by Bond, is the mix with electronic beat and violins.

I recall that song playing in clubs in Asia in 1999. Ah, the memories…

As far as I’m aware, the song they actually play is “Samba E Gol”, which is a slightly different version of “Samba Di Janeiro”. You can find it in the France ‘98 soundtrack, “Allez! Ola! Olé!”

Despite the warnings, I clicked. Nice work, Laurie. I now have one serious ear worm. You were right. But what a song!

Nice beads, Thanks Laurie!
You can’t go wrong with Samba.

I am getting seriously sick of that little Euroo 2008 TV jingle (at least they play it on ESPN and maybe others), it’s a little techno-style thing. Can’t stand it.

Kevin, that was my thought as well! I almost put exactly that in the post.

It’s like the Brazilian ‘Macarana’ only with more thrusting.
