"'Matador de Passarinho'" (Portuguese for "'Bird Killer'") is a song written, composed and performed by the Brazilian musician Rogrio Skylab, and originally included on his second studio album, 'Skylab', from 1999. In an interview Skylab explained that the song is a "perversion" of "Passaredo", a composition by Francis Hime and Chico Buarque.[http://tc.batepapo.uol.com.br/convidados/arquivo/musica/ult1753u1594.jhtm Bate-papo com Rogrio Skylab | Bate-papo UOL]

The song became famous after one of Skylab's appearances at the 'Programa do J', becoming one of the musician's greatest hits. Besides, the song is considered the greatest hit of the history of the Rio de Janeiro underground scene.

The song eventually gave its name to a talk show hosted by Skylab from 2012 to 2014 at Canal Brasil, in which he interviewed celebrities forgotten by the mainstream media.

In 2016 Skylab and Lvio Tragtenberg wrote a sequel to the song, "Matador de Passarinho 2". It was included on the duo's second collaborative album, 'Skylab & Tragtenberg, Vol. 2'.
