A few days ago we were looking at various capoeira pages online when we came across a capoeirista who had some pretty awesome hair.
I mean really awesome. It was like Michael Jackson circa Thriller, with the curls and everything.
These photos confirmed what I have always known, deep in my heart: Michael Jackson would have made an awesome capoeirista.
ADMIT IT! YOU HAVE ALSO THOUGHT THIS!
Consider:
He’s already got the dance moves. Dude could moonwalk into the samba de roda.
White pants are totally his thing.
The hair would have been great for fast head spins.
Definitely the singing. I imagine MJ’s singing in the roda to go something like this: “Quem vem la sou eu, quem vem la sou eu, berimbau bateu, capoeira sou eu… Who’s bad?!” [at this point he would spin around, do a little shoulder shimmy, and shoot musical notes out of his fingertips just like in the Nintendo game, Michael Jackson's Moonwalk]
Muahahahaha! this is a great post and I really have to say, you are right! He has the moves, the rhythm, the music. And in the clothes-department he was the same. Imagine his suit from ’smooth criminal’ in the roda… and then I checked “who’s bad” and the lyrics…well, they seem to be MADE for a capoeira roda
just stumbled upon your blog. but I think I will enjoy it here!
Axé
oh…P.S. here is the lyrics of “Who’s bad”
Your butt is mine

To hide your hands
But they say the skys the limit
And to me thats really true
And my friends you have seen nothin

Whos bad?
P.P.S. I am sorry…this post got a bit long with the lyrics…
LOL, nice one!
I just came across your blog and had to say that I love your tagline!! My capoeira teacher would definitely approve. XD Also, I’ve read a few of your other posts (just the capoeira ones, I gotta admit), and enjoyed them—you guys are funny!
Also, totally random thought, but for some reason your name, “SuperBuff”, really reminds me of “Strong Bad”…of Trogdor the Burninator fame. (I’m really, really hoping here you’ll have heard of that so you don’t think I’m wacko. If not…google it!)
Salve!
