Thiago's Translations

Everyone has their group of favorite 80's songs - at least people my age do. One of the best is Land Down Under by Men at Work. Click here to watch the video.

So when my Brazillian buddy, Thiago, and I were talking about old 80's song he told me that American songs were HUGE in Brazil back in the 80's. When I mentioned the "Land Down Under" by Men at Work, he started laughing and told me that he thought it was a song about camping in the desert. Instead of the chorus line being "Do you come from a land down under" he thought it said "Dude, we come with a big Land Rover".

Thiago is gold.
