As the mercury rises, a new melody wafts through the airwaves, vying for the coveted title of summer anthem.
I Know A Guy Named Jesus by Limón Limón, featuring Tammy Infusino, is a sunny tune that whisks you away on a breezy tour of Rio de Janeiro, with Christ the Redeemer standing sentinel in the distance.
The song’s relaxed ambiance evokes the languid pace of a beachside afternoon.
Infusino’s vocals glide smoothly over a foundation of gentle synths and understated percussion, while an acoustic guitar provides a mellow accompaniment.
A soulful saxophone adds depth to the arrangement, its notes dancing through the melody like a caipirinha-inspired rhythm.
Lyrically, “I Know A Guy Named Jesus” conjures up an imaginative scenario featuring Rio’s iconic statue.
This Jesus isn’t a sombre religious figure, but a carefree local who digs samba and enjoys a good cocktail.
It’s an unexpected take that injects a dose of playfulness into the sun-drenched narrative.
The chorus latches onto your memory with its catchy refrain: “I know a guy named Jesus / Met him in Rio for caipirinhas.”
It’s the kind of line you might find yourself humming at the beach or belting out at a rooftop gathering.
While it may not be the obvious pick for song of the summer, “I Know A Guy Named Jesus” possesses an undeniable charm that could see it climbing the charts.
Its fusion of jazzy instrumentation and lighthearted lyrics offers a departure from typical pop offerings.
The jury’s still out on whether this track will become the backdrop to your summer escapades.
However, one thing’s certain: it has the power to transport you to a warm Brazilian afternoon in the blink of an eye.

Limón Limón x Tammy Infusino I Know A Guy Named Jesus Lyrics
Hello friend
We meet again
You see it all from where you stand
Do you get lonely?
With your head
Up in the clouds
I wonder if you’re looking down
And thinking of me
Late into the night
Glowing in the light
Floating in that
Samba
Sky
I know a guy named Jesus
Met him in Rio for caipirinhas
Woah
Lives up on Corcovado
He’s always dancing to Desafinado
Woah
I know a guy named Jesus
Oh would you trade
Your birds eye view
On a sunny afternoon
For Ipanema
but with the sand between your toes
It might be hard for you to go
Yeah You’d never leave us
Late into the night
Glowing in the light we
Floating in that
Samba P
Sky
I know a guy named Jesus
Met him in Rio for caipirinhas
Woah
Lives up on Corcovado
He’s always dancing to Desafinado
Woah
I know a guy named Jesus
Late into the night
Glowing in the light
Floating in the sky
Floating in that
Samba
Sky
I know a guy named Jesus
Met him in Rio for caipirinhas
Woah
Lives up on Corcovado
He’s always dancing to Desafinado
Woah
I know a guy named Jesus
