Never heard a Brazilian one. I enjoy hearing covers of Sissy Strut, but I can't think of any that come close to the Meters.

plaese to post link.
I dunno but it's not the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band.
Nor that white blues band that played the Eno Festival Saturday afternoon in Durham NC last year. Though they were pretty good, considering the context.
Jaco Pastorious Live in New York with the trio.

There's another one from Trinidad (non-steel) that is the sickest one I've heard so far. Ain't nothing tighter than Trini drummers.

OK. sorry. I been diggin this one:
Willard Posey Reunion: Cissy Strut/American Woman FAME 45
Pablo - Cissy Strut (Red Hook Recordings)
I used to own this 7", but I lost it playing out at a party in january. I miss it very much. Nice Studio 1/Trojan-inspired funky reggae version with melodica. The guy behind it is called Michael Hunter and he also operates under the alias Butch Cassidy Sound System. Lovers of the heavy dub vibe should definetely check him out.
