The track "Poema em Linha Reta" is actually a poem written by Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa under the pseudonym Álvaro de Campos set to music;[1] both it and "Pregador Maldito" were re-recorded from the soundtrack of the 1986 film Cidade Oculta.

"Vida de Operário" is a cover of Brazilian punk band Excomungados; Pato Fu would more famously cover it as well, on their 1995 album Gol de Quem?.

"Chapéu Vermelho" is a Portuguese-language adaptation/translation of the song "Li'l Red Riding Hood", written by Ronald Blackwell and originally performed by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.[2] The translation into Portuguese was provided by Hamilton Di Giorgio.

Ratos de Porão made cover versions of both the tracks "Tô Tenso" and "Corredor Polonês", while Cássia Eller covered "Teu Bem".
