I couldn’t skip this song, could I? It’s well known Brazilian accordionists are my soft spot. ;)
This has become my favorite Fri am making breakfast routine. Loved the PSA warning but you had the wrong earworm. The yin yang ratz are irrepressible kitchen dancing music! I only wish they'd published a video because it would be fun to see, I'm certain.
Dancing Rats for the win, love me some Brazillian Zydeco.
