No song in brazilian history can better represent a bad omen as the "Paris-Belfort" march. Composed in 1932 by J. Farigoul, the Paris-Belfort march was used as a unnoficial hymn for the constitutionalist side on the Constitutionalist war, ecloded in São Paulo as a last ditch attempt by the oligarchs deposed in 1930 to return to power. 32 years later it was also used as the unnoficial hymn of the 1964 civic-military coup that resulted on the 21 year long military dictatorship that placed an end to the period of democracy known as the "populist republic". Today this song is associated to right wing nostalgia for these both events, and also as a icon of exceptionalist by the paulistan oligarchy.
