O.V.N.I. (Objeto Verde Nada Inteligente)

Josetxu Piperrak's song 'O.V.N.I. (Objeto Verde Nada Inteligente)' is a satirical and critical commentary on the Spanish Civil Guard, colloquially referred to as 'picoletos.' The song uses humor and biting sarcasm to highlight the perceived abuses of power and authoritarian behavior exhibited by these law enforcement officers. The title itself, translating to 'Unintelligent Green Object,' sets the tone for the song's irreverent and mocking approach.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the Civil Guard as almost alien beings, devoid of humanity and compassion. Described as having 'supernatural powers' and 'no heart,' these officers are depicted as patrolling the streets in their 'green ships,' ready to impose their authority with impunity. The song criticizes their tendency to escalate minor incidents into serious offenses, reflecting a broader critique of systemic abuse and the militarization of police forces.

Josetxu Piperrak also touches on the socio-political context, noting the Civil Guard's alignment with right-wing ideologies and their slogan 'todo por la patria' (everything for the homeland). The song suggests that these officers are more concerned with maintaining their power and control than with justice or fairness. The repeated refrain 'son picoletos' serves as a reminder of their omnipresence and the fear they instill in the public. Through its sharp wit and pointed observations, 'O.V.N.I. (Objeto Verde Nada Inteligente)' serves as a powerful critique of authority and the impact of its abuse on society.
