Sei lá, mas acho que sou capaz de jurar que a propaganda da Liga dos Campeões que passa na ESPN Internacional usa como trilha Zadok the Priest. Sim, a entrada tonitruante do coral. Fica bonito. Pena que meus times europeus — Roma e Benfica — nunca cheguem perto da conquista. Quem manda torcer para pobres?

Este é um disco sensacional que foi relançado pela Philips naquela sua coleção dois pelo preço de um. Encontrei-o dando sopa por aí, enquanto virava algumas latas de lixo na calçada a fim de facilitar o trabalho de Bluedog - que acaba de fazer esplêndida postagem. Trabalhamos em equipe. Vi este mp3 em formato 128 kbps cair de uma delas e fui dormir longe das pulgas que acompanham nosso amigo, tranqüilo, sob as estrelas, sonhando com reis e viagens imaginárias de uma nação a outra.
