[ad_1]

Paula Fernandes and Luan Santana generated memes with the movie soundtrack, Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano sang the Beatles’ version, and Gusttavo Lima re-recorded Roxette’s classic from the 80s. It has been more than four years since the release of “Juntos”, the version that Paula Fernandes and Luan Santana recorded for the hit “Shallow”, a success with the voice of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. The original track was the soundtrack for the film “A Star Is Born” (2018) and won an Oscar. But perhaps many Brazilians really remember the bilingual chorus (in Portuguese and English), which generated controversy and many memes. The chorus of “Shallow” went like this: “Crash through the surface / Where they can’t hurt us / We’re far from the shallow now.” shallow now”). In “Juntos”, things took a slightly different path: “Glue our halves together / Together and shallow now”. It is difficult to say that the false translation was well received by the local public. But the fact is that the song did become a hit here. And, just like the music of Gaga and Cooper, works by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Beatles, Roxete, Talking Heads and Elvis Presley, among others, have already been covered by country artists with lyrics very different from the originals.
