Jimmy, Renda-Se

The writers are given as Tom Zé and Waldez on Wikipedia's page for the Tropicália compilation. MusicBrainz lists it as track seven of the 1970 album Tom Zé under the spelling "Jimi, Renda-Se" and as the A-side of a 1971 Brazilian single with "Irene". Soul Jazz Records included it as track 11 on Tropicália: A Brazilian Revolution in Sound (February 13, 2006, compiled by Stuart Baker; Pitchfork 9.5), and it appears on 20 Preferidas, The Brasileiro Treasure Box of Funk and Soul (2015) and the soundtrack of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Songlines cites its familiar low-slung guitar chords and call-and-response, and a Rocksalted reviewer a tight groove and playful lyrics. Red Bull Music Academy attributes it to the 2000 album Jogos de Armar, which MusicBrainz, Wikipedia and Songlines contradict; we place it in 1970.

Amerie's "Take Control" (October 17, 2006, produced by Mike Caren, lead single of Because I Love It) contains excerpts of it and of Hall and Oates's "You Make My Dreams"; it reached 10 in the UK and 9 in Finland, and the Guardian's Alex Macpherson heard a nagging Tom Zé sample. We found no statement from Zé about the song's subject, and no recording date or studio. We cannot say whether our upload is the 1970 recording.
