Sexo, Furbo y Rocanró
Mojinos Escozios
A Playful Ode to Life's Simple Pleasures
Mojinos Escozios, a Spanish rock band known for their humorous and irreverent lyrics, delivers a playful and satirical take on life's simple pleasures in their song 'Sexo, Furbo y Rocanró.' The title itself, a playful mix of Spanish and English, translates to 'Sex, Football, and Rock 'n' Roll,' setting the tone for a lighthearted exploration of these three themes.
The lyrics begin with the narrator humorously naming his children after famous footballers, Maradona and Ronaldinho, and using football metaphors to describe his parenting style. Instead of punishing his children, he 'shows them a card,' a reference to the yellow and red cards used in football to discipline players. This playful use of football terminology continues as he describes his marriage, likening his wife's pregnancy to a failed defensive 'barrier' in a football match.
The chorus emphasizes the three things the narrator values most in life: sex, football, and rock 'n' roll, humorously dismissing more traditional values like health, money, and love. The song continues with more football metaphors, describing his home as having 'corners' instead of 'corners' and expressing his dislike for players who 'run down the wing.' The narrator's dedication to football is evident as he lists the items he takes to a match, including a flag, scarf, and even stones to throw if the referee makes bad calls.
Mojinos Escozios uses humor and satire to highlight the narrator's obsession with football and his carefree attitude towards life. The song's playful tone and clever wordplay make it a fun and entertaining listen, while also offering a lighthearted critique of societal values and priorities.
