Manolo

The song 'Manolo' by Mojinos Escozios is a humorous and somewhat risqué narrative about a man who, after twelve years of celibacy, believes he is finally going to have a romantic encounter. The lyrics describe his excitement and anticipation as he celebrates the end of his long period of solitude. The protagonist is convinced that he is about to 'triumph' and 'eat something,' a colloquial way of saying he is about to have a sexual encounter.

However, the night takes an unexpected turn when he realizes that the person he is with, who he thought was a woman, is actually a man named Manolo. The lyrics humorously detail his shock and disappointment upon discovering this. The song plays with themes of mistaken identity and the protagonist's naivety, using a mix of crude humor and vivid imagery to convey the story. The repeated refrain 'Manolo, ella se llamaba Manolo' (Manolo, she was called Manolo) underscores the twist and the protagonist's disbelief.

Mojinos Escozios is known for their comedic and often provocative lyrics, blending rock music with humor and satire. 'Manolo' is a prime example of their style, using exaggerated scenarios and playful language to entertain and provoke laughter. The song also touches on themes of loneliness and the desperation that can accompany long periods of isolation, albeit in a lighthearted and exaggerated manner.
