Conan, O Homem Rã
Irmãos Catita
The Bizarre Tale of Conan, the Frog Man
The song "Conan, O Homem Rã" by Irmãos Catita is a humorous and satirical narrative that tells the outlandish story of a character named Conan, the Frog Man. The lyrics invite the listener to sit down and enjoy a flan pudding while they hear the tale of this peculiar hero from Trafaria, a town in Portugal. Conan is described as an unconventional hero, born without a mother and raised by an aunt, which sets the tone for the absurdity that follows.
Conan's romantic life is equally bizarre, as he is involved with a diminutive Indonesian woman who is the subject of much gossip. The lyrics are explicit and crude, describing her promiscuity and Conan's own sexual exploits. The song uses humor and exaggeration to paint a picture of Conan's life, filled with outrageous and often inappropriate adventures. The narrative takes a darkly comedic turn when Conan decides to sew a zipper onto his girlfriend's vulva while she sleeps, a shocking and absurd act that underscores the song's irreverent tone.
The song continues to describe Conan's life, filled with various characters and escapades, including encounters with scouts, Japanese people, and even a commentary on the economic crisis. The lyrics culminate in Conan becoming wealthy by installing a meter near his girlfriend's private parts, turning his bizarre actions into a profitable venture. The song ends by celebrating Conan's success, albeit in a mocking tone, highlighting the absurdity and humor that define the entire narrative. Irmãos Catita uses this song to push the boundaries of conventional storytelling, employing satire and shock value to entertain and provoke thought.
