"Bat Macumba," Os Mutantes

i just learned that this tune, written by gilberto gil and caetano veloso, is an example of concrete poetry, i.e. when you write the lyrics out, the shape of the words resembles a bat:

batmacumbaieiê batmacumbaobá
batmacumbaieiê batmacumbao
batmacumbaieiê batmacumba
batmacumbaieiê batmacum
batmacumbaieiê batman
batmacumbaieiê bat
batmacumbaieiê ba
batmacumbaieiê
batmacumbaie
batmacumba
batmacum
batman
bat
ba
bat
batman
batmacum
batmacumba
batmacumbaieiê
batmacumbaieiê ba
batmacumbaieiê bat
batmacumbaieiê batman
batmacumbaieiê batmacum
batmacumbaieiê batmacumba
batmacumbaieiê batmacumbao
