Bossa Nova greats cover Disney songs


I just scored Bossa Disney Nova, a Japanese CD of legendary Brazilian bossa nova artists performing groovy, loose interpretations of Disney classics. It's completely enchanting: with performances like the Jota Morales Group's "Parada Eletrônica na Rua Principal" (Main Street Electrical Parade) and especially the demented DJ 524's Incredible Samba Band mix "Mickey Mouse Club Samba" you can't miss. It's just genius. Link (Amazon's pulled their listing for this, here's the same CD at Amazon UK)

Update: Nicky sez, "half.com has a dozen or so used & new copies of the CD for sale. It seems to have been re-released in 2005."

Update 2: Mark found a more complete version that's cheaper than the UK version at the Hong Kong HMV site.
