Olympics host Bianca Jhordāo has a new smash single that will make everyone follow the rules at the Maria Lenk Aquatic Center at the Rio Olympics -- you know, the arena that used to smell like a fart.
‘Let’s Get Into It’ took ‘We Will Rock You’ and turned it into a Rio 2016 masterpiece
Let’s get, let’s get, into it!
Co-written with Rafael Terpins, "Let's Get Into It" is sung to the tune of "We Will Rock You" except the lyrics are hilariously trash to the point of actually being the type of gold Rio needs. With fire lines such as "do you really wanna smoke, please don't do it here," and "Silence is gold, the medals are gold, please silence your phones to vibrate mode," Jhordāo is attempting to "make something different instead of giving the audience of the venue a list of do's and dont's," according to her Instagram page.
Take a listen:
There are a number of problems with the song, starting with the chorus which takes a very well-known six-syllable beat and adds an extra one. There also may be an extra “ing” at the end of the line “thank you all for coming-ing” to make the song flow, but nonetheless this performance is all-in-all an imperfect act of genius.
It’s a truly heroic effort by the duo to make something very entertaining out of something that should be very boring. The hustle is even more respectable considering Jhordāo is out there performing on a sprained ankle in an air cast live twice in a day in the arena that formerly smelled like fart.
Here she is getting wheeled around Rio on a dolly:
We can never thank you enough Bianca and Rafael.
To get better acquainted with the summer jam of 2016, the team at SB Nation has put together the lyrics for you to sing along with.
Let’s Get Into It (Lyrics):
Welcome to Rio 2016,
Drink your water and use sunscreen,
Silence is gold,
The medals they’re gold,
Please set your phones to vibrate mode,
Let’s get, Let’s get, into it (2x)
ESSA É A RIO 2016
TENHA SUA ÁGUA E PROTETOR SOLAR
QUANDO O JOGO FOR ROLAR
O SILENCIO VALE OUTRO
PONHA O CELULAR PRA VIBRAR
Do you really wanna smoke?
Please don’t do it here,
Go to special zone,
Or your puff gets soaked,
Take some pictures,
Don’t use flash,
Athletes are focused
On their match,
Let’s get, Let’s get, into it (2x) Sing It!
FICOU LOUCO PRA FUMAR?
AQUI NÃO É LUGAR
TEM AREAS RESERVADAS
PARA NÃO INCOMODAR
FLASH DESLIGADO
PRA TIRAR A FOTO
LEVE O SEU LIXO
LIMPE O SEU LUGAR
Let’s get, Let’s get, into it (2x)
This is Rio 2016,
Thanks you all, for coming in,
Help us keep the arenas clean,
Thank volunteers in yellow and green,
Let’s get, Let’s get, into it (2x)
ESSA É A RIO 2016
AGRADEÇA OS VOLUNTÁRIOS
QUE SORRIEM PRA VOCÊS
JÁ ESTAMOS PRONTOS,
VAMOS COMEÇAR
QUERO OUVIR
TODO MUNDO CANTAR
Let’s get, Let’s get, into it (2x)
*Guitar riff, audience is in tears*
