"The Girl From Ipanema" isn't elevator music.

[James]

Well, apperantly the only reason people know about this song is the elevator music cliche..



But lyric-wise, it doesn't even sound like elevator music..



It sounds more like a romantic song and instrumentally, it sounds like jazz.



Really, I don't think this song is deserving of something like this..

It's not the original version, but nonetheless..

I have this song on a Stan Getz album (jazz). It isn't necessarily elevator music, though it works as elevator music. People generally seem to dismiss elevator music off hand anyway without giving it a chance, as if the term automatically means music not worth listening to for its own sake.
