Todo Castigo Pra Corno É Pouco

Falcão's song "Todo Castigo Pra Corno É Pouco" is a humorous and satirical exploration of heartbreak and existential musings. The song begins with the protagonist leaving a sanatorium, only to discover that his partner has betrayed him with another person. This sets the tone for a series of absurd and comical events that follow. The protagonist's reaction to the betrayal is not one of typical sorrow or anger but rather a series of bizarre and humorous actions, such as going to the cinema and encountering a stranger who cryptically says, "Good night, my life!"

The lyrics then take a turn towards the absurd as the protagonist sits in a bar, contemplating not just his personal woes but also grander issues like the future of the nation and property taxes. This juxtaposition of personal heartbreak with societal concerns adds a layer of irony and humor to the song. The protagonist's actions, such as throwing his partner's letters into a toilet and spending all his money on perfume and caustic soda, further emphasize the absurdity of his situation.

Falcão's unique style combines elements of Brazilian popular music with a comedic twist, often using exaggerated scenarios and witty wordplay to convey deeper messages. In this song, the protagonist's journey from heartbreak to existential contemplation is portrayed in a light-hearted and humorous manner, making it a memorable and entertaining piece. The repeated refrain of sitting in a bar and meditating on life's big questions adds a cyclical and almost philosophical dimension to the song, despite its comedic undertones.
