Subidubi

Los Inhumanos' song 'Subidubi' captures the essence of a typical Saturday night out for many young people, filled with high hopes and eventual disappointment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist eagerly anticipating the weekend, believing that this night could be different and transformative. The excitement is palpable as he prepares to go out, thinking about the numerous potential romantic encounters ('chatis') in the city. However, the reality soon sets in as he realizes that the night might not be as promising as he had hoped.

The song delves into the financial constraints that many face when going out, highlighting the need to save money by eating little and trying to avoid cover charges at clubs. This aspect of the song reflects a common experience for many young adults who want to enjoy nightlife but are limited by their budgets. The repeated line 'Y son las tres... Subidubi' emphasizes the passage of time and the growing frustration as the night progresses without any success in meeting someone special.

As the night wears on, the protagonist finds himself in a less-than-ideal situation, surrounded by more men than women, and the chances of a romantic encounter dwindling. The song humorously yet poignantly captures the sense of disappointment and the inevitability of waking up with a hangover the next day. 'Subidubi' serves as a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of a night out, ultimately reminding us of the often unglamorous reality behind the pursuit of fun and romance.
