Marylou

The story behind

Ultraje a Rigor recorded Marylou in 1985, as part of their first album, Nós vamos invadir sua praia. The song was released on a single together with Inútil and Mim quer tocar, which had already had some exposure. The idea for the album came from a studio called Nas Nuvens, where the producer Pena Schmidt wanted to make a provocation, highlighting how a generation of musicians from São Paulo was gaining ground in Rio de Janeiro, the birthplace of Brazilian rock. The lyrics of Marylou reflect that tension, with a direct rhythm and a guitar that moves with force. The song lasts two and a half minutes, and today it still plays on platforms like Last.fm, with over 75 thousand plays.
