O Bicho Vai Pegar was a Brazilian band that formed in 1966 with Sérgio Sampaio on vocals and guitar, Jorge Mautner on guitar, and Luiz Melodia on guitar. Their sound mixed samba, rock, and bossa nova in a way that felt distinctive for its time.
Their song "Canção de Ninar" became particularly known in Brazilian counterculture circles.
They released a few records including "Caetano Veloso & O Bicho Vai Pegar" in 1967 and "Samba, Roda, Canção" in 1968. Their music, including tracks like "Piquenique dos Ursinhos," maintained a following even after their relatively brief time as a group.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
