Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
This, maybe?
According to the Danish chronicler Saxo Grammaticus, the pagan Ragnar belonged to the Swedish Yngling Dynasty, claiming to be a direct descendant of the god Odin.
Also, the Minnesota Vikings' mascot is named Ragnar.

okay I don't care what he really is saying. I'm signin' "RAGNAR!" hilarious
in the miniseries they stop at Ragnar Anchorage to pick up munitions after the Cylon attack. It hasn't been mentioned since.
Maybe Tommy Lee is more of a visionary than he's generally given credit for.
Edit: when I say "Tommy Lee," I mean "Vince Neil," as people do.
So, back to the subject of Brazil....
I downloaded a really hot version by a group called Pink Martini. They also have a version by Django Reinhardt which I suspect is intrumental only, but I'm thinking I should download anyway cuz Django Reinhardt. Any other input? Bueller?

Pink Martini is a contemporary group. If you like their "Brazil" you'd probably like their two albums.
Django is great, but yeah, it'll almost certainly be instrumental. You might want to find a version by Carmen Miranda or a forties pop singer. Carmen Miranda, maybe.
From the Brazil FAQ:
The soundtrack by Michael Kamen is available on compact disc, Milan 35636-2. The disc features music from the film as well as snippets of dialogue and the title track sung by Kate Bush. The recording is excellent, and the disc offers insightful liner notes written by Steven Smith, Terry Gilliam and Michael Kamen.

Pink Martini is quickly becoming one of my favorite bands, Sean, so I would reccomend them beyond their rendition of "Brazil."
I happen to have a random Pink Martini cut, from the Dead Like Me soundtrack, "Que Sera Sera", and as soon as Gmail allows, it should be up on Buffistarawk.
