"The Brazilian"
|
The band wrote two instrumental pieces for the album, this and "Do the Neurotic". The latter was cut from the album's final track selection.
The tune was featured in the animated movie When the Wind Blows, which was scored by Roger Waters. It was also used in an episode of Magnum, P.I. called "Unfinished Business". The track was also used extensively by the BBC in their TV coverage of the 1987 World Athletics Championships. In 1987 the track received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Performance (Orchestra, Group or Soloist).
The song was also featured in the 2020 Hulu feature, Palm Springs, during Sarah’s quantum physics montage.
