A La Tercera Va La Vencída
Los Mojinos Escozíos
A Satirical Take on Fame and Morality
Los Mojinos Escozíos, known for their humorous and often irreverent style, deliver a satirical commentary on fame and morality in their song 'A La Tercera Va La Vencída.' The song opens with a conversation among the band members, discussing their tarnished reputation and their desire to prove that they are not as bad as people think. This sets the stage for a tongue-in-cheek exploration of societal norms and the band's playful rebellion against them.
The lyrics cleverly parody religious commandments and moral guidelines, with lines like 'Amareis a dio sobre todas las cosas' and 'No deseareis a la muje del projimo.' The band humorously pledges to follow these rules, only to immediately contradict themselves, highlighting the absurdity and hypocrisy often found in moralistic preaching. The repeated phrase 'Pos vale, pos venga, pos bueno' underscores their nonchalant attitude towards these societal expectations.
A recurring theme in the song is the band's aspiration to be like the 'burbujitas del anuncio de Freixenet,' referring to the iconic Spanish sparkling wine commercials featuring glamorous models. This desire for mainstream acceptance and fame is juxtaposed with their self-deprecating humor and acknowledgment of their outsider status. The song also includes a mock religious sermon, urging listeners to donate money for the 'restaura la imajen del santo,' further emphasizing the band's satirical take on both religious and commercial institutions.
Through its witty lyrics and playful tone, 'A La Tercera Va La Vencída' offers a sharp critique of societal norms, fame, and the often hypocritical nature of moral standards. Los Mojinos Escozíos use humor to challenge and entertain, making their message both thought-provoking and amusing.
