My family reunion is going on today

My relatives have all flow in

From places far away

As we sit here eatin' chicken

It hits me like a truck

I don't like half the folks I love

Me and my former best friend

Had a big fallin' out

I caught him with my wife

So I punched him in the mouth

We just can't hang out anymore

But I still wish them luck

I don't like half the folks I love

God knows they're all dear to me

But if the truth be told

I like it when they come

But I love it when they go

I'm sure they've got good qualities

But the bad ones cover them up

I don't like half the folks I love

My alcoholic buddies are fun to hang around

When we drink together, peace and joy are bound

But sometimes they bring me one more shot

When they know I've had enough

I don't like half the folks I love

God knows they're all dear to me

But if the truth be told

I like it when they come

But I love it when they go

I'm sure they've got good qualities

But the bad ones cover them up

I don't like half the folks I love

In this world we live in

This I guarantee

We all need more tolerance

To get along peacefully

But I'm not as nice as Jesus

And I really am fed up

I don't like half the folks I love

God knows they're all dear to me

But if the truth be told

I like it when they come

But I love it when they go

I'm sure they've got good qualities

But the bad ones cover them up

I don't like half the folks I love

I don't like half the folks I love.

GÊNERO: ROCK

ANO: 1982

Flagra é uma canção de Rita Lee e Roberto de Carvalho que fala de cinema, fazendo várias referências a atores e filmes, na forma de trocadilhos, em versos como "Se a Deborah Kerr que o Gregory Peck /Não vou bancar o santinho/Minha garota é Mae West/Eu sou o Sheik Valentino=!"

Em 1982 a canção foi o hit do momento, e também a preferida do cantor e ex-parceiro de Rita em Os Mutantes, Arnaldo Baptista que, naquele ano, recuperava-se do abuso de drogas.

A canção foi a música-tema (de abertura) da telenovela da Rede Globo "Final Feliz", de Ivani Ribeiro, onde a letra era ilustrada por imagens de um cinema onde personagens famosos assistiam a conhecidas cenas de beijo de filmes que protagonizaram.

Lará! Lararararará!

Larará! Lararararará!

No escurinho do cinema

Chupando drops de anis

Longe de qualquer problema

Perto de um final feliz...

Se a Deborah Kerr

Que o Gregory Peck

Não vou bancar o santinho

Não!

Minha garota é Mae West

Eu sou o Sheik Valentino..

Mas de repente o filme pifou

E a turma toda logo vaiou

Acenderam as luzes

Cruzes!

Que Flagra!

Que Flagra!

Que Flagra!

Uauauauauá!

Larará! Larará...

No escurinho do cinema

Chupando drops de anis

Longe de qualquer problema

Perto de um final feliz...

Se a Deborah Kerr

Que o Gregory Peck

Não vou bancar o santinho

Não vou não!

Minha garota é Mae West

Eu sou o Sheik Valentino..

Mas de repente o filme pifou

E a turma toda logo vaiou

Acenderam as luzes

Cruzes!

Que Flagra!

Que Flagra!

Que Flagra!

Uauauauauá!...

Lará! Lará! Larará!

Lará! Lará! Larará!

Larará Lalari! Lalari!

No Escurinho do Cinema!

Believe, when you lie

You will never need to recognize yourself

To deceive

To remove all chance of doubt and be received

With your lie

The deception is complete when you concede

And decide

To reject your lives, sacrificed to me

Penance can't absolve your sin, into me

Penance can't absolve your sin

All your belief cannot absolve your sin[x2]

Believe, when you lie

You will never need to recognize the source

Of deceit

To renew your faith in God

You must believe, in your lie

The redemption is complete when you conceive

And decline

To release your lives

Sacrificed to me

Penance can't absolve your sin, into me

Penance can't absolve your sin

All your belief cannot absolve your sin[x2]

Reap your life, like you want to recognize, all you've come to[x2]

Reap your life

Veiled in shadow

Recognize

Faces of the crucified

I can hear their screams tonight

Ever haunting me

Burn your lie into me

Penance can't absolve your sin, into me

Penance can't absolve your sin

All your belief cannot absolve your sin[x4]

AÑO: 1994

Israel "Cachao" López (La Habana, 14 de septiembre de 1918, Coral Gables - 22 de marzo de 2008, Miami), a menudo conocido simplemente como "Cachao", fue un músico y compositor cubano. Se convirtió en una leyenda de La música cubana con su magistral manejo del contrabajo y se destacó por sus actuaciones musicales en el mambo y el jazz afrocubano. Su talento lo llevó a obtener dos premios Grammy (em 1995 y 2005), un Grammy latino en 2003, el título de Doctor Honoris Causa otorgado por el prestigiado Berklee College of Music y una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood. Ha sido descrito como "el inventor del mambo". Se le considera un maestro de La descarga (improvisaciones en vivo).

Comenzó tocando distintos instrumentos, hasta que se quedó con el contrabajo, que le permitió, siendo un adolescente, ingresar en la Orquesta Filarmónica de La Habana, donde tocaban su padre y su hermano mayor. "Cachao" salió de Cuba en 1962 con una larga lista de éxitos y aseguró en una entrevista concedida el 2007 que si no fuera por su compatriota y colega Dámaso Pérez Prado "no se hubiera escuchado el mambo mundialmente". Su primera parada fue Madrid, donde permaneció un año antes de emigrar a Estados Unidos. En ese país residió en las ciudades de Nueva York, Las Vegas y Miami.

López también tocaba el bajo acústico con su hermano, el multi-instrumentista Orestes López. Ambos compusieron literalmente más de 3.000 canciones juntos y fueron muy influyentes en la música cubana desde los años 1930 a la década de 1950. Crearon el "nuevo estilo” hacia fines de los años 1930, el cual transformó el estilo del danzón. Mediante la introducción y popularidad de otro género el son cubano llevó a Pérez Prado a desarrollar el nuevo género musical mambo.

Su sobrino, Orlando "Cachaíto" López se convirtió en uno de los pilares del famoso Buena Vista Social Club.

Cachao tocó con artistas como Tito Puente y Tito Rodriguez, y su música ha aparecido en películas como La jaula de las locas, y la banda sonora del videojuego Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Colaboró también con la gran cantante española María Dolores Pradera en la interpretación de Lágrimas negras. El actor Andy García produjo un documental titulado Cachao ... Como Su Ritmo No Hay Dos en 1993 acerca de su música. También compartió escenarios con Celia Cruz y su esposo Pedro Knight, así como con el trombonistaGeneroso Jiménez. Su última colaboración musical la realizó con Gloria y Emilio Estefan en el álbum de la cantante titulado 90 Millas.

López falleció en la mañana del 22 de marzo de 2008 en Coral Gables, Florida, a la edad de 89 años, producto de complicaciones tras una insuficiencia renal.
