Mamonas Assassinas (album)

In a week the bandmates wrote other 12 tracks that made the cut, but "Não Peide Aqui Baby", a parody of The Beatles's "Twist and Shout", was shelved due to the amount of profanity in the lyrics.

The recording took place in São Paulo, on Bonadio's studio, and was mixed at The Enterprise in Los Angeles, United States.

The band created the concept of the cover, a drawing by Carlos Sá in which the musicians appear in front of a naked woman exposing large breasts (evoking the pun in the band's name, "mamona" as in "mama", breast in Portuguese), inspired by the Playboy issue featuring Brazilian model Mari Alexandre.

Parody of the main riff of The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" (with scatological sounds replacing Mick Jones' guitar fills) and pokes fun at the difficulties faced by North-Easterners in São Paulo due to cultural differences.

A forró parody, tells the story of a man from Bahia coming to "Sum Paulo" in his donkey – which he compares to a car, including installing a stereo.

Talks about the size of elephant's genitalia or the absence of morals on dogs, as well as implying Camels "carry their balls on their backs."

It's a cover of the band "Baba Cósmica" Satyrised pop-samba music (pagode), about a poor man whose girl left him for an alemão ("German", a slang term for white, wealthy people).

The title also parodies the song "Lá Vem o Negão" (Here Comes the Black Guy) from samba group Cravo e Canella, which was a hit just two years before the album's release.

The song also features well-known pagode musicians doing additional instrumental work: Fabinho from Negritude Júnior and Leandro Lehart from Art Popular.
