Skatungararibê

Oxgênios' song "Skatungararibê" is a playful and humorous exploration of a character's insatiable appetite. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman who eats constantly, regardless of the time of day. The song humorously describes how her eating habits have become a significant issue for her family, to the point where the household scale has broken, and various family members have taken drastic measures to curb her eating. The father locks the refrigerator, the mother is desperate for her to stop, and the grandmother even makes a promise to a saint, hoping for divine intervention. Despite these efforts, the woman's appetite remains unquenchable, leading to a comical cycle of eating and drinking, with her stomach seemingly protesting each new intake.

The chorus of the song, with its nonsensical and catchy phrases like "Bom bom scatungalax" and "skatungaribê scatungatinga," adds to the lighthearted and whimsical nature of the song. These playful sounds mimic the rhythm and chaos of the woman's eating frenzy, creating an infectious and memorable hook that listeners can easily sing along to. The use of onomatopoeia and invented words enhances the song's comedic effect, making it a fun and engaging listen.

Oxgênios, known for their eclectic and humorous musical style, uses "Skatungararibê" to highlight the universal theme of overindulgence in a light-hearted manner. The song's exaggerated portrayal of the woman's eating habits serves as a humorous commentary on the challenges of self-control and the lengths to which families will go to address such issues. Through its catchy melody and amusing lyrics, "Skatungararibê" offers a delightful and entertaining take on a common human experience, making it a standout track in Oxgênios' repertoire.
