Hoy Vamos a Explicar La Palabra Feo

La Polla Records, a Spanish punk rock band known for their provocative and politically charged lyrics, delivers a scathing critique of royalty and societal norms in their song "Hoy Vamos a Explicar La Palabra Feo." The song uses the word "feo" (ugly) as a metaphor to highlight the perceived moral and ethical ugliness of the royal family. By repeatedly emphasizing the physical unattractiveness of the king, queen, prince, and princesses, the band underscores their disdain for the institution of monarchy and its superficial values.

The lyrics are laced with sarcasm and irony, as the band describes each member of the royal family in unflattering terms. The king is described as "mogollón de feo" (extremely ugly), and the queen, despite her fine clothes, remains unattractive. The prince's ugliness is attributed to his lineage, suggesting that the flaws of the monarchy are inherited and systemic. The princesses are also depicted as irredeemably ugly, with the repetition of "fea" (ugly) emphasizing the band's contempt.

In the final lines, La Polla Records takes aim at the tabloid press, referred to as "cretinos de la prensa rosa" (cretins of the gossip press). The band criticizes the media for their obsession with the superficial aspects of the royal family, suggesting that they should either change their perspective or find a different line of work. This critique extends to a broader condemnation of a society that values appearance over substance, and the song serves as a call to question and challenge these superficial standards.
