I enjoy the English version, but I prefer the original version of Girl from Ipanema. If people knew the background of the song and lyrics, every (heterosexual) man can relate to it. Sitting alone as a beautiful woman passes you by and you wonder is she alone like you, does she know how beautiful she really is, that smile, that body, that tan, and then you ponder:
“Ah, if she but knew,
That when she passes by,
The world smiles,
Is filled with grace,
And becomes more beautiful,
Because of love.”

The elements that ties the list together are sultry voices of beautiful women that should be adored and treated like real ladies. Nothing like this:

Too many freaks today.
