Notes

Generations before the first Portuguese explorer set eyes on the New World, Melícapë was the Don Quixote of a secluded tribe deep in the jungles of modern-day Brazil. His heroic exploits were known far and wide, most notably including adventures in experimental dentistry, badger taxidermy, and premeditated acts of violence against malfunctioning toaster ovens. This is his (grossly Westernized) theme song, accompanied by a good bit of filler that is sure to propel it to the top of the charts in Belgium.
