Portero De Topless

Los Mox!, a Chilean punk rock band known for their humorous and often provocative lyrics, deliver a satirical and bold narrative in their song "Portero De Topless." The song is a tongue-in-cheek portrayal of a bouncer named Julián who works at a topless club. Julián takes immense pride in his job, which he describes as the best job in the world. The repetition of the phrase "¡¡¡ Cómo que no tengo pega !!!" ("What do you mean I don't have a job?") underscores his defiance against societal judgment and the stigma associated with his profession.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Julián's daily life, emphasizing his role as a gatekeeper to a world of sensuality and indulgence. He refers to himself as a "priest of sex," a metaphor that elevates his job to a quasi-religious status, suggesting that he provides a vital service to those seeking pleasure. The chorus, with its repeated declaration of pride, "soy un portero de topless ¡¡a mucha honrra!!" ("I am a topless bouncer, with much honor!!"), further reinforces his unapologetic stance.

The song also delves into the seedy and often hidden aspects of the nightlife industry. Julián's enthusiastic invitation to potential customers, promising them the "richest girls in the world" and a variety of experiences, highlights the commodification of women and the objectification inherent in such establishments. The use of colloquial and crude language, along with the playful yet gritty descriptions, adds a layer of authenticity and rawness to the narrative. By presenting Julián's perspective, Los Mox! challenge listeners to confront their own biases and perceptions about unconventional jobs and the people who perform them.
