Also Sprach Zarathustra - Eumir Deodato. What A Day Starter!

Combine a Symphonic poem of a German composer with the afro jazz moud of a jazz-funk Brasilian musician-composer and you have this relaxed and groovy piece of art.
I dont know if it will make you dance in your car while waiting for the light to turn green, but it will sure make you tap your fingers on the wheel. If it helps you start your day with a possitive thinking, the jod is done.



German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, composed it as a philosophical novel in four parts between 1883-1885 and Richard Strauss made it a symphonic poem during 1896.

In 1972, Eumir Deodato made the final adaption and turned it into this funky version.

*It won the 1974 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance and went to No. 2 in the pop charts in the US, No. 3 in Canada, and No. 7 in the UK.
You can find it into Deodato's 1972 album Prelude
