I can’t believe the cheap greedy heirs of the rights to that song would be so selfish to deny the real Girl from Impanema to use the title of the song that is about her. These creepy relatives never contributed a thing to that song. You think Kim Carnes would get pissed if Betty Davis put out an eye makeup line and called it Betty Davis Eyes? Get a job Morons.

[...] I’m dreaming of flip-flops. Of sun bathing. Of tuning up to samba vibes. Dancing on bossa nova rhythms. Drinking água de coco. Taking snapshots of baby Clover on the beach. Walking down the shore holding her little hand. Making silly faces with my husband. Visiting the local fresh markets and buying exotic fruits. Tasting Brazil’s flavors. Reading on the beach and extra sleeping in the morning. Having an impromptu picnic at sunset. Listening to Antônio (Tom) Jobim’s soft whispers. Finally meeting The Girl from Ipanema. [...]

In January 1964 I was celebrating our honeymoon. We went to Basin Street West in New York and bill cosby was the opening act, not bad for a young kid. Then came out Jobim and the “Girl From Ipanema”she sang the song and it mesmerized me, one time and I knew every word and it made the honeymoon even better.
I had never heard the song before and soon after it was on every radio with music. It is still one of my favorite songs and it never gets tiring to listen.
Many thanks

I remember the first time I ever heard The Girl From Ipanema I was in the college bar & grill. I was sitting by my self reading a book of love, then all of sudden I heard this lovely music (Astrud Gilberto)and I was so overwhelmed with love and tears and the passion I felt for Brazilian Jazz took me over. I now listen to Brazilian Music when I make love it inflames my body with love and tears and so much passion.
