Propaganda for "Maria, Maria": "This song is a extremely powerful song about the strength of the working class brazilian woman and an homage to the singer's own mother who died when he was still very young and having little money left him to be adopted by the daughter of the owner of the hostel she worked at. In an era full of misogyny and racism like the late 70's a song about how brave and powerful the everyday brazilian woman is dedicated to a woman of color was (and still is) extremely important! Also Milton is an extremely talented artist who is mentioned as inspiration to other musicians everywhere (specially jazz singers even if he plays MPB a brazilian style with heavy latin jazz influences but unique)" Defeated Opponents: "Peggy Day" - Bob Dylan; "Rosa dos Ventos" - Chico Buarque; "Hello, Dolly!" - Louis Armstrong and Barbra Streisand; "Mack the Knife" - Bobby Darin; "Ziggy Stardust" - David Bowie

Propaganda for "Minnie the Moocher": none Defeated Opponents: "Making Plans for Nigel" - XTC; "Charlie Brown" - The Coasters; "Maggie May" - Rod Stewart; "Bela Lugosi's Dead" - Bauhaus; "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" - The Beatles
