I heard a song by a band called Yo La Tengo on a college radio station last week. The song is called "Mr. Tough" and is off their new record. Anyway, it sounds REALLY close to Pais Tropical. It has the same piano style and then the horns kick in half way through just like on Pais Tropical. I emailed the band to ask if it was an homage to the Brasil 77 song assuming they would say it was. Instead, they wrote back and said they never heard it. I find that hard to believe. My friend heard it and said thinks they could get sued because its so close. I'm curious if anybody else has heard it and thinks it sounds as close to Pais Tropical as I do.
