Geni e o Zepelim
Geni e o Zepelim (Geni and the Zeppelin) is a Brazilian song, composed and sung by Chico Buarque.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geni e o Zepelim )〕 The song takes place in the musical play Ópera do Malandro, by the same author, and was introduced in 1978, later featured in the 1979 album, and in the 1986 movie, all with the same name.
The lyrics describe, in ''hepta-sylabic'' rhymed and metrical verses, the long story of Genival, a transvestite who was often physically persecuted in his town. During the threat of an attack by a zeppelin, the ship's pilot is petrified with the charm of "Geni" (pronounced ''Janee''), who acquires temporary VIP treatment. The day after, she returns to the normal daily routine and is attacked by people with rocks.
The song has become famous in that the refrain ''throw rocks at Geni'' is commonly referenced in situations when people are victims of moral lynching.
== The show ==
The text, based on the Beggar's Opera of John Gay (in 1918) and the Three Penny Opera, of Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill (in 1928), takes place in a brothel and paints a picture about Brazilian underground gangsters, and was played as a musical show.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=O que é a Ópera do Malandro )〕
