He tried to become the President of Brazil since the music industry in Brazil didn't care for him either.Sergio was an influence of [[Joseph Stalin]] and [[John F.

This time, he succeeded and he became the President of Brazil for 10 years.His controversial move was to have [[The Simpsons]] fight against the Brazilian Soccer Team since they have desecrated everything from the falevas with "El Barto" all over them to all the feijoada at the Carnival. This was unsuccessful and Brazil never recovered after that.==Brasil 06==Sergio Mendes returned to America as an exile and he made it better than he did before by hosting the Latin Grammy's.
