The Five Animals Women Love: A Humorous Take on Modern Desires
Frank Aguiar's song "Os Cinco Bichos Que a Mulher Mais Gosta" is a playful and humorous exploration of the stereotypical desires attributed to women. The lyrics list five 'animals' that women supposedly love, each representing different aspects of modern life and relationships. The song uses these animals as metaphors to comment on societal expectations and the roles that different people and objects play in a woman's life.
The first 'animal' mentioned is a 'veado' (deer), which in Brazilian slang can also refer to a gay man. Here, the 'veado' is described as a counselor who helps women with their appearance, highlighting the common stereotype of gay men being fashion and beauty advisors. Next, the 'jaguar' represents luxury and status, as having a Jaguar car in the garage symbolizes wealth and the desire to impress others. This reflects the societal pressure on women to maintain a certain image and social standing.
The 'gato' (cat) in the bed symbolizes a lover who provides emotional support and boosts the woman's ego. This metaphor emphasizes the importance of affection and validation in romantic relationships. The 'perua' (turkey) is a gossiping friend, illustrating the role of social interactions and the exchange of information in maintaining social bonds. Finally, the 'burro' (donkey) is the one who pays the bills, representing the financial support that is often expected in relationships. This character highlights the traditional expectation of men as providers.
Through these metaphors, Frank Aguiar humorously critiques the various roles and expectations placed on women and the people around them. The song's playful tone and catchy rhythm make it an entertaining yet thought-provoking commentary on modern relationships and societal norms.
