Astrud Gilberto, 'The Girl from Ipanema' singer, dies at 83 : NPR

"The Girl From Ipanema" is probably etched in everyone's memory, but I found her whole body of work to be consistently high level and engaging.

With her passing, and the death of Rita Lee of Os Mutantes in May, it has been a tough month on iconic Brazilian female vocalists.

I've got a fairly racy Astrud Gilberto anecdote to share, but right now doesn't seem particularly appropriate.

Dig out your copy of the Getz/Gilberto record, and let it rip.

does anyone know of a song where the phrase "girl from ipanema" is used as a song lyric in a different song? as soon as i heard this news, i got one of those really annoying "tip of my tongue" type things where i can kinda hear someone singing the phrase "girl from ipanema" to a totally different melody vs the song itself, but i cannot for the life of me remember anything else about this phantom song
