Sucesso do Inconsciente (Portuguese for "Success of the Unconscious") is the fourth studio album by Brazilian new wave band João Penca e Seus Miquinhos Amestrados. It was released in 1989[1] by independent label Esfinge.[2]
The album spawned the hit single "Matinê no Rian", which would be used as the opening theme of the telenovela O Sexo dos Anjos. Paula Toller of Kid Abelha fame provides additional vocals for this track.
"Matinê no Rian" references the Cinema Rian, a famous now-defunct movie theater in Rio de Janeiro which was founded by then-First Lady of Brazil Nair de Tefé in 1932 and demolished in 1983.
"S.O.S. Miquinhos" is a medley (or, as João Penca puts it, "merdley", a portmanteau of "merda" — the Portuguese word for "shit" — and "medley") comprising the tracks "Namoradinha de um Amigo Meu" (a parody of Roberto Carlos' eponymous song), "Esperto É o Coqueiro", "Certo ou Errado", "Rua Augusta", "Vem Quente que Eu Estou Fervendo" and a cover of Christie's "Yellow River".
Every João Penca album features Portuguese-language covers/parodies of old 1940s/1950s rock and roll/rockabilly and 1960s surf music songs.
