In this case, it is intended to analyze the social representation in the lyrics of songs "tacky" in the period 1969- 1978, through the discourse constructed in these popular songs about the criticism in society and popular sentiment. We can observe in certain compositions that its artists are social representations of the collective to the individual, that even being the target of criticism and malicious labels, not just sing with the intention of romanticizing, but to identify important events in Brazilian social memory and the sad behavior the nation. The survey is conducted by analyzing the work of singers Odair José and Nelson Ned, seeking what they wanted to go beyond the musical sense, situations like the image of women in certain places and the responsibility of the increase in population as shown Thomas Malthus to Brazilian sadness added to our personality as concems Paulo Prado.
