Folks, everybody’s saying that Deep Purple plagiarized their greatest hit. Lots of Brazilians come to me and they say it, “Maria Moita was stolen!”, they’re all saying it. “They stole our song, and they made it purple!”

The lyrics are cool too. “Rich people wake up late and already start complaining, poor people wake up early and already get to work. I will ask my babalorixá (a Candomblé spiritual guide) to pray to Xangô (one of the orixás) so that he can put to work people who have never done any work.”
