Corredor Polonês (Portuguese for Polish Corridor) is the only studio album by Brazilian post-punk/experimental rock band Patife Band. It was released in 1987 via WEA, and reissued on CD in 2001.

The track "Poema em Linha Reta" is a poem written by Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa under the pseudonym Álvaro de Campos set to music;[1] both it and "Pregador Maldito" were re-recorded from the soundtrack of the 1986 film Cidade Oculta.

"Vida de Operário" is a cover of Brazilian punk band Excomungados; Pato Fu would more famously cover it as well, on their 1995 album Gol de Quem?

"Chapéu Vermelho" is a Portuguese-language adaptation/translation of the song "Li'l Red Riding Hood", written by Ronald Blackwell and originally performed by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.[2] Hamilton Di Giorgio provided the translation into Portuguese.

Ratos de Porão covered the track "Tô Tenso", while Cássia Eller covered "Teu Bem".
