To cheap-ass!

Why should you try to resist... Don't you know, little fool, you never can win? Use your mentality! (my cheap-ass advice)
Now the question: can you be Evil just by wearing too much eyeliner?
I'll leave you with that one, because it's just too strange.
Taking all the fears of mainstream 1970's Hulka and saying, yup, we're gonna destroy everything you hold dear. We'll seduce your boys and blow up your schools, we'll sell funk-ideas and wear ugly clothes and we don't care what you think about it, because we're beyond your bourgeois rules and laws. Me and Hulkx.
To drape bats and skeletons and goblins over it and pretend that it's all just a big joke, a costume we can put on for the day and then forget all about it.
And I honestly can't quite figure out how I feel about that. Maybe the Hulka's view of Evil is helpful, taking the sting out of it by depicting it as a figure of fun rather than a real threat. Or maybe the ghosts and skeletons are just distracting people from actually paying attention to the smug, destructive amorality at the core of Hulka's persona.
Its a funny gag.
Looking at it from the distance of a couple decades, it just looks confused, a weird historical document from a period when we were grappling with some big scary changes in brazilian society.
Oh! And also Hulka sings "Over the Rainbow," which is really really cute. Boo indeed.
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. And so on.

F.U.C.K.Y.O.U. bad-ass.
