dct:abstract

Summer Samba (also known as So Nice or its original Portuguese title, %22Samba de Verão%22) is a 1964 bossa nova song by Brazilian composer Marcos Valle, with English-language lyrics by Norman Gimbel; the original Portuguese lyrics came from Paulo Sérgio Valle, brother to the composer.The song was first popularized by the Walter Wanderley Trio in 1966 — the album Rain Forest on which it was issued reached platinum status in 1970 — also reaching the U.S.%22Easy Listening%22 chart in versions by Johnny Mathis, Vikki Carr, and Connie Francis during that same year. In fact, at least one source claims that three different versions were on the Billboard charts at the same time in 1966. Allmusic has said of Wanderley's version, %22His recording ... is regarded as perhaps a more definitive bossa tune than %22Girl From Ipanema.%22 Wanderley's version was the biggest seller in the U.S., reaching #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966, (#3 on the Easy Listening chart) , and is still a favourite on Adult Standards radio stations.Andy Williams released a version in 1966 on his album, In the Arms of Love. The Angels released a version of the song in 1967 entitled %22So Nice%22 as the B-side to their %22Merry Go Round%22. Other notable versions include those by Astrud Gilberto and by Bebel Gilberto, both of which have been used in several television programs and in widely broadcast TV advertisements. A slower version was put out by Brasil '65 with Wanda de Sah and Sergio Mendes. As of 2000, the song had been recorded by more than 180 different artists worldwide.The song was covered by Emma Bunton in 2004 and was released as a b-side on the commercial CD single to her single %22Crickets Sing For Anamaria%22 (also written by Marcos Valle), taken from her critically acclaimed second album, Free Me. This song features the Hammond B-3 organ, a staple of the sixties in the recording studio.The song appears in the film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me as well as Click. It also is a major theme in the game Destroy All Humans!, largely as an intentional music joke as the video game is set in 1957, nine years before the song's release. The song is also heard in The Simpsons episode %22The Otto Show%22 (S03E22) from Homer's car radio while he is waiting for Bart and Milhouse who are listening to Spinal Tap's concert.It is said that the music from the video game called StreetPass Mii Plaza, for Nintendo 3DS, strongly resembles Summer Samba.
