    I don't see the hummer but they are one of my favorite little guys.
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    Down in Brazil
    It takes a day to walk a mile
    Time just stands still
    And when the people you meet
    Look at you, they smile
    They still believe in style
    They sooth you with their sambas
    Till you really know you're
    Down in old Brazil
    You can tell you're down in old Brazil

    Down in Brazil
    They never heard of win or lose
    If you can't feel
    That all those cafe ole girls
    In high heel shoes
    Will really cure your blues
    'seems they all just aim to please
    Those women sway like wind In the banana trees
    Then you know you're
    Down in old Brazil

    Down in Brazil
    They know a million ways to play
    You start to feel
    And when you're happy
    It's the same as when you pray
    You think you'll get away
    Then you know you never will
    Not when you've been
    Down in old Brazil
    Not when you are down in old Brazil

    I can't see the pic, but it sounds nice from the others' comments. Hummingbird, Sugarloaf, and I think my current population of Brazillian coins is .... zero. Sounds like it's worth taking a chance.

    Thanks for the opportunity.
