Lobo Mau

Ivete Sangalo's song 'Lobo Mau' is a playful and cheeky reinterpretation of the classic fairy tale 'Little Red Riding Hood.' The lyrics open with a dialogue between Ivete and Chapeuzinho Vermelho (Little Red Riding Hood), setting the stage for a modern twist on the well-known story. Ivete takes on the role of the 'big bad wolf,' a character traditionally seen as menacing and dangerous. However, in this version, the wolf's intentions are presented in a humorous and flirtatious manner, transforming the narrative into a light-hearted and fun exchange.

The repeated phrase 'Eu sou o lobo mau' (I am the big bad wolf) followed by 'Vou te comer' (I will eat you) is a playful double entendre. While it references the wolf's intention to eat Little Red Riding Hood in the original tale, in this context, it carries a more suggestive and teasing connotation. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the playful nature of the song, making it clear that the interaction is more about flirtation than actual danger.

Ivete Sangalo, known for her vibrant and energetic performances, brings her signature style to 'Lobo Mau.' The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it a fun and engaging listen. The lyrics also include references to the grandmother's 'merenda' (snack), adding another layer of humor and playfulness to the story. By reimagining a classic fairy tale with a modern, flirtatious twist, Ivete Sangalo creates a song that is both entertaining and memorable, showcasing her ability to blend traditional narratives with contemporary themes in a way that resonates with her audience.
