From the first issue of BTM eNews - July 2014:
"In February, Melbourne musician Diana May Clark came to the Ballarat Tram Museum to record her song, "Batacuda Bond (Tram Song)". This is a pop style tune with a catchy Brazilian beat. Diana wrote this song while on honeymoon in Brazil.
It is about the Santa Teresa tram which runs from downtown Rio de Janeiro and climbs up the Santa Teresa hill offering spectacular views across the city. Opened in 1877 with a horse tram service, the tramway is one of the oldest street railways in the world. The tram is currently out of action after an accident in 2011 which killed five people, including the driver, and injured another 57 people. This was Brazil's worst tram accident. The people of Santa Teresa rely on this tram as their main link to Rio and are rallying for its safe return.
With film maker Philip Donnellon, Diana wanted to use an old green W class tram as the setting for the song's film clip. The only green W class trams running in Victoria are those operated by Yarra Trams. They decided that our W4 671 would be suitable, and it certainly provided a great setting. Philip is well known for his interest in trams. He made the documentary movie called "Bring 'Em Back", about Melbourne's tram conductors. He said afterwards that the BTM offered some great filming opportunities, and he would certainly be returning.
Over the last 15 years Diana has released five CDs, one EP, and two singles."
