Papai Eu Quero Me Casar

The song 'Papai Eu Quero Me Casar' by the Brazilian comedic group Os Trapalhões is a playful and humorous dialogue between a daughter and her father about her wishes to get married. The daughter repeatedly expresses her desire to marry various individuals, each representing a different profession or notable figure, and each time the father humorously objects, providing a pun-laden reason why the suitor is unsuitable. The song's lyrics are filled with double entendres and wordplay, which is a hallmark of Os Trapalhões' comedic style.

The father's objections are based on puns that play on the professions of the potential suitors. For example, he argues that the motorist is not a good match because he 'presses too much on the horn,' implying that he would be too forward or aggressive with his daughter. The humor is in the absurdity and the playful nature of the father's reasons, which are not to be taken seriously. The song reflects the comedic tradition of Os Trapalhões, who were known for their slapstick humor and social satire in Brazil during the 1970s and 1980s.

The song concludes with the father approving of the daughter's choice to marry Ney Matogrosso, a famous Brazilian singer known for his flamboyant performances and androgynous appearance. The father's approval is based on the idea that Ney Matogrosso, who can transform into a 'man and a werewolf,' is not scary when he is a man. This final twist adds to the humor, as it plays on the idea of Ney Matogrosso's stage persona and challenges traditional gender roles and expectations. Overall, the song is a lighthearted take on the process of choosing a spouse and the generational differences in perspectives on marriage.
