Your Quarantine Needs Erykah Badu Doing Bossa Nova

I don’t know how your quarantine is going, but I’m pretty sure it needs Erykah Badu doing Bossa Nova.

And, I have to be honest and say that this post has changed a couple of times because the original video I had hoped to post was a Bossa Nova version of “Gone Baby, Don't Be Long" and it was phenomenal. But between the time I created the post and tried to post it, the video went private on Youtube and is no longer available to stream. So, I went back and discovered two more “Bossa Nova” songs.

The three videos (one of which we can no longer compare) all appear to be from the same performance, and the first one I had hoped to post was preceded by a segment in which Badu let viewers “choose a room” for a song. Apparently the viewers chose the “mystery room” which contained the performance of "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long" in a Bossa Nova style, and I guess these other two songs are from the same performance? These other two videos retain the same band and setting but Badu is in different wardrobe in one of the videos which means absolutely nothing. However, whatever the lack of context, I would be derelict in my duties as Eboy Internet Courier well, if I didn’t gather up the remaining Erykah Badu Bossa Nova videos and get them out to you on the quick-like.

First up is “Get Munny”

Next up is: “Umm Hmm”

And if you can find that Bossa Nova version of "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long,” would you be so kind as to let me know?
