Papyrus da Batata's song "Lunáticos - Pernalonga e Pica-Pau" is a vibrant homage to two of the most iconic cartoon characters, Woody Woodpecker (Pica-Pau) and Bugs Bunny (Pernalonga). The lyrics are a nostalgic trip down memory lane, celebrating the enduring legacy of these animated figures who have entertained generations. The song opens with a playful introduction of Woody Woodpecker, highlighting his mischievous nature and his ability to cause chaos, yet remain a beloved character. The reference to his various adventures and the characters he interacts with, like Meany, Leôncio, and Zeca Urubu, underscores his role as a timeless troublemaker who always comes out on top.
The second part of the song shifts focus to Bugs Bunny, the charismatic and clever rabbit from the Looney Tunes universe. The lyrics emphasize Bugs' dominance in the world of cartoons, mentioning his famous catchphrase, "What's up, Doc?" and his interactions with other beloved characters like Daffy Duck, Taz, and Lola Bunny. The song also nods to Bugs' cultural impact, referencing his appearances in the "Space Jam" movies alongside basketball legends Michael Jordan and LeBron James. This part of the song celebrates Bugs' wit and resilience, portraying him as a character who always finds a way to outsmart his adversaries.
The chorus brings both characters together under the theme of lunacy and unpredictability, inviting listeners to join in the fun and chaos that these characters represent. The repeated invitation to join the "show of madness" reflects the unpredictable and entertaining nature of their adventures. The song captures the essence of childhood memories and the joy these characters have brought to countless fans, making it a fitting tribute to their lasting impact on popular culture.
