Como una mosca
Memphis La Blusera
The Joy of Friendship and Music in 'Como una mosca'
Memphis La Blusera's song 'Como una mosca' captures the essence of nightlife, camaraderie, and the infectious energy of music. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of friends Bobby, Willie, Charly, and Freddie as they embark on a night out, filled with fun and laughter. The repetitive lines 'dan vueltas y mas vueltas y se chocan entre si' (they go round and round and bump into each other) emphasize the chaotic yet joyful nature of their night, highlighting the spontaneity and carefree spirit that often accompanies such gatherings.
The song also addresses a character who stands apart from the revelry, 'pegado contra la pared como una mosca' (stuck against the wall like a fly). This metaphor suggests someone who is detached or hesitant to join in the fun, perhaps feeling out of place or overwhelmed by the lively atmosphere. The repeated call to this person, 'che, vos, que no te movés' (hey, you, who don't move), serves as an invitation to break free from their inertia and embrace the music and the moment.
Memphis La Blusera, known for their blues and rock influences, infuses 'Como una mosca' with a rhythm that is both engaging and irresistible. The song celebrates the joy of live music and the sense of community it fosters. It reminds listeners of the simple pleasures of dancing, laughing, and being with friends, encapsulating the spirit of a night where 'todo el año es carnaval' (the whole year is a carnival). The song's lively beat and repetitive structure mirror the cyclical nature of nights out, where the same joyous patterns repeat, creating a sense of timelessness and endless fun.
