"Cookie Monster" - XTT (Novelty)
This is a perfect piece to pull out at parties. If you browse through XTT's songs, you'll rapidly realize that Renato Ferraz is something of a chameleon - a reggae song here, a soapy romance there, an alternative song there, and so on across genres. As a result, there's nothing else like "Cookie Monster" in the list, but it's worth the one-off for this hysterically funny parody. Backed by driving, straightforward hard rock rhythms, the song starts "Cookie monster! Cookie monster! Cookies!" and goes on in that vein until the final triumphant laugh.
