A little bit of Lusophone cultural exchange

There is a song which is everywhere in Brazil right now - Ai se eu te pego.  It´s awful.  The chorus goes - Nossa, nossa, assim voce me mata - Oh god, oh god, this is the way you kill me.  I thought no good would ever come of it.  But it´s been transformed into a protest song which people are shouting in the streets in Portugal as they march against austerity measures which the government is imposing in the battle against the Euro´s instability.  Being catchy and simple can have some advantages. 

Ai se eu te pego

Nao, nao nos calam
