A Dingo Bell Ate My Bhabie (Frank's Eardrums December 2020)
Here's my most recent Eardrums playlist.* It's kinda overrun by my latest infatuation, Brazilian funk, which is a species all its own - there are a couple of subspecies, brega funk from Recife and regular old funk carioca from Rio and São Paulo, except I'm just now diving into them, and damned if I can tell the difference.** For instance, DJ Guuga's from Recife and MC Dricka and MC Teteu and their frequent producer DJ Will DF are from São Paulo; but both Guuga and Will DF are similarly abrasive as per my taste - Will's maybe more compulsively abrasive, while Guuga's more playfully abrasive, and abrasively playful.
MC Dricka has collaborated with brega funk artists. I infer from this that there are modes of transportation in Brazil, and the technology to work together at a distance.
South Park are on here too and they're also playfully abrasive and abrasively playful but don't sound anything like brega funk.
There are a couple of Korean Jingle Bells that go admirably off-message, as does a Chicago Silent Night that's less than silent. And some standard Eardrums fare not related to the season.
Bhad Bhabie's here with the meme that made her accidentally famous when others latched onto her. The music cries tears in the background.
And Bali Baby, with an original riff and rap that went viral.
I think "dingo" is just a pun on the ding-a-ling of Christmas bells, though for all I know it's Brazilian street slang that Google Translate has yet to come across. H/t to Don Allred for providing the title, "A Dingo Bell Ate My Bhabie," and to Jonathan Bogart for setting me off on this adventure by choosing "Dingo Bell Sou Seu Papai Noel" as his bonus nomination in Tom Ewing's Xmas World Cup.
*"Frank's Eardrums" playlists are meant to flow and/or splash and gurgle and turn on themselves like mixtapes of yore, often concentrating on what I've been absorbing most recently but sometimes I just wedge things in that I think'll sound interesting. And what I'm listening to recently isn't always made recently, and I owe several new finds of old tracks here to Tom's Xmas World Cup.
**I found a Brega Funk playlist on Spotify, "BREGA FUNK • Metendo o Passinho | Recife," curated by Gael Uno, subtitled "from Recife to the World" but the track added most recently has vocals by São Paulo's MC Teteu, so maybe it's the World to Recife as well. The playlist leans towards the hooky and goofy and bouncy ("brega" means tacky or cheesy), perhaps more so than Brazilian funk as a whole, but now I'm probably just reaching for differentiation. There's the fun of forward motion, then there are volley shots and barriers, as if to have fun fucking with the motion. Amazing stuff.
