Australia's most famous songwriter crazy about Rio

Peter Allen is a famous Australian songwriter and singer, creator of the unofficial Australian anthem "I still call Australia home" and inspiration for a musical based on his life called The Boy from Oz, the first Australian to be performed in Broadway.

Look at parts of one of his songs:

"When my baby
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio
De Janeiro, my-oh-me-oh
I go wild and then I have to do the Samba
And La Bamba
Now I'm not the kind of person
With a passionate persuasion for dancin'
Or roma-ancin'
But I give in to the rhythm
And my feet follow the beatin' of my hear-eart

Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my baby
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio
De Janeiro
I'm a Salsa fellow
When my baby smiles at me
The sun'll lightens up my li-ife
And I am free at last, what a blast"
