I've been trying to get this greenlit for a year.

Probably the best thing I've seen in a long while.

I don't have 33 minutes to devote to this. Can you give the readers digest version? Maybe when I have some quiet time

Playing it in the key of F instead of Db (as it was written) is a American abomination if the song.

The first commercial recording was in 1962, by Pery Ribeiro. The Stan Getz recording featuring the vocal debut of Astrud Gilberto became an international hit.
The key the song is played in traditionally has varied depending upon the origin of the recording. While the original Ribeiro version was in the key of G, most Brazilian performances use D♭ and most American versions use F.

From here and here.

ZMugg: detonator: composition and hidden innuendo and jokes

A modern example:
B.B.B.F.F. (Big Brother Best Friend Forever) is a song that is featured in the episode A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1. Twilight Sparkle first sings it when she explains to her friends that her brother, Shining Armor, was the only pony she trusted as a friend before she was sent to Ponyville. Later in the episode, when she was afraid she had "lost a brother" because of an argument, she sings a somber, much shorter reprise.

The song's composer, Daniel Ingram, used a cadence known as a "deceptive cadence" rather than an "authentic cadence" to finish the reprise as an "inside joke". The non-reprisal version ends on an authentic cadence, D flat major, rather than a deceptive one (B flat minor).

From here.
