Seu Jorge, “Rebel, Rebel,” The Life Aquatic: Studio Sessions

Musicianguide.com:

In 2004 Jorge came to prominence when he accepted the role of a singing deckhand in Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. Anderson knew Jorge from his work in City of God, and wanted him to sing covers of David Bowie songs, including “Rebel Rebel,” “Life on Mars,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide,” and “Starman” for the film. The only problem was that Jorge mostly sang in Portuguese and only knew one Bowie song, “Let’s Dance.” “I guess the idea wasn’t effectively communicated to him that he was to sing translated lyrics of Bowie songs,” Anderson jokingly told Nancy Miller in Entertainment Weekly. Anderson liked Jorge’s versions nonetheless, even if he didn’t understand a word of Portuguese. Jorge also custom-fit his translation from English to Portuguese for the movie. “I changed the words quite a lot,” Jorge told Mueller. “I wanted each song to be about a different character.” …In 2005 The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions album was also released. The recording featured stripped-down versions of many songs that had originally appeared on Bowie’s Honky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. “Had Seu Jorge not recorded my songs acoustically in Portuguese,” Bowie noted in the album’s liner notes, “I would never have heard this new level of beauty which he has imbued them with.”

I put this album on when hanging out with the two-year-old this morning and he didn’t shout “NO MUSIC!” at me, so I consider that a success.
