Gol de Quem?
Pato Fu
1995

Why This Album Matters
Gol de Quem? is Pato Fu's second studio album, released in 1995, and stands out as a vibrant manifesto of Brazilian rock creativity. The work consolidates the band's distinctive pop/rock style, profoundly marked by the irreverence and experimentation of Os Mutantes, yet with its own signature. The album's essence lies in its audacious fusion of genres, building a sound that defies categorisation. With a foundation of humour and a profusion of electronic drums and sound effects, Pato Fu interweaves elements of caipira music, rock, pop, seresta, and direct references to Beatlemania, creating a cohesive and surprising musical universe.
Songs
The album's repertoire, largely composed by John Ulhoa, is a mosaic of references and originality. Tracks such as "Vida Imbecil" pay declared tribute to Tom Zé and Rita Lee's "2001", reimagined with a caipira touch that echoes the 1969 Mutantes album version. The album deftly moves between the pop success of "Sobre o Tempo" and the electronic reinvention of the classic seresta in "A Volta do Boêmio". The passion for Beatlemania is evident in compositions like "Qualquer Bobagem", which evokes the spirit of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and in the accelerated version of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da". The track "Mamãe Ama É o Meu Revólver" also makes a direct allusion to The Beatles' Revolver album, while "Vida de Operário" is an intriguing cover version by the punk band Excomungados.
Legacy
Gol de Quem? achieved remarkable success, selling approximately 50,000 copies, consolidating Pato Fu's presence in the Brazilian music scene. The album's enduring relevance was reiterated in 2022, when it was included in the prestigious list of the 500 greatest Brazilian music albums, a poll organised by the Discoteca Básica podcast, attesting to its cultural impact and its permanence in the collective memory of the public and critics alike.
