Fila Indiana

MC Lan's 'Fila Indiana' is a song that delves into the explicit and often controversial world of Brazilian funk music. The lyrics are straightforward and repetitive, focusing on sexual prowess and promiscuity. The phrase 'fila indiana,' which translates to 'single file,' is used metaphorically to describe a queue of women waiting for their turn to engage in sexual activity with the singer. The repetitive nature of the lyrics 'Sentou? Próxima! Quicou? Próxima!' which means 'Sat down? Next! Bounced? Next!' emphasizes a non-committal and objectifying attitude towards sexual partners.

The song also contains a sense of bravado and competition, as evidenced by the dialogue towards the end where MC Lan is warned about 'releasing hits' and dominating the funk scene too much. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for sexual conquests being akin to producing successful music tracks, with each 'hit' representing another notch on the belt. The casual mention of potential pregnancy 'Hoje nós te engravida' (Today we get you pregnant) is treated with humor, further highlighting the carefree and reckless attitude portrayed in the song.

Culturally, 'Fila Indiana' is a reflection of the Brazilian funk scene, known for its explicit content and party-centric themes. MC Lan is known for his bold lyrics and is a prominent figure in this genre. The song's meaning is not deeply layered; it is a direct expression of sexual desire and the celebration of a hedonistic lifestyle, which is a common theme in funk carioca, the style of music MC Lan is associated with.
