so apparently the song “girl from ipanema” was written about this girl named Heloísa Pinheiro from rio de janiero in ‘64. shit’s crazy. it’s so weird having a face put to the girl from ipanema, youknow?? but yeah, she was also in playboy. with her daughter. in playboy. naked and stuff. so weird…

here’s the most popular, and my personal favorite version of the girl from ipanema.
performed by stan getz on sax, joão gilberto on guitar and his wife astrud singing

this is a badass song. if you’re in to jazzy numbers with sexy lady voices; chances are you’ll like this. so turn it up!
