Cast of the film "Corrida dos Bichos" Disclosure Members of Titãs spoke out about the version of "Bichos Escrotos" recorded by Anitta for the film "Corrida dos Bichos". The track, which is part of the film by Fernando Meirelles, went viral after Generation Z was surprised by the fact that the song was not by Anitta. And, yes, from the Brazilian rock band. Composed by Arnaldo Antunes, Sérgio Britto and Nando Reis, "Bichos Escrotos" is part of the album "Cabeça Dinossauro", released in 1986. But it was written years before and was already part of the group's repertoire even before the album arrived. "We did it many years ago, even before recording Titãs' first album. It's an ode, a compliment, to everything that is frowned upon by society, by the status quo", explains Sergio Britto in a post on social media. "Interestingly, I see points of contact with what is done with funk, because it is a very direct language, but it is surprising and anarchic. So I think that this version they made now for Meirelles' film, despite being radically different from ours, has a pertinent reading of what we wanted to say." Britto also praised Anitta's work, citing that she is an incredible artist, who is always reinventing herself. "Apart from the technical part of her as a singer. She is also an extremely charismatic, articulate person and everything," he added. The titan also celebrated the new reading of the song by listeners. And the arrival of new people, who were not yet familiar with the group's work.

"I think what's happening with music and this reading that people are making of the meaning it has is really cool. Everyone does their own." "I remember there was a time when people saw these scumbags as if we were telling these scumbags to f*** off. Corrupt politicians, unscrupulous people, and so on. When that wasn't exactly the point. So it's cool that the song goes around the world, has different versions. And people who didn't know our work can get to know it." In an interview with the Popline portal, Paulo Miklos, who was part of Titãs until 2016, also commented on the new version of the track. "I loved Anitta's version with Tropkillaz for Bichos Escrotos. It was always a very fun song, at the same time as a questioning of the refined palate of civilized man. Anitta sang with this fine irony and got the message across." Released in August 2026, the film "Corrida dos Bichos" tells the story of a fearless young man who is inspired by the universe of the Brazilian animal lottery to win a deadly race and save his sister in a dystopian future where each animal in the game is now represented by a runner competing for a prize. Directed by Fernando Meirelles, Rodrigo Pesavento and Ernesto Solis, the film features Anitta, Grazi Massafera, Rodrigo Santoro, Isis Valverde, Matheus Abreu, João Guilherme, among other stars in its cast.
