Blancanieves Rusa (Destripando La Historia)

Pascu y Rodri's 'Blancanieves Rusa (Destripando La Historia)' is a humorous and dark retelling of the classic Snow White story, set in a Russian context. The song opens with a greeting to the audience, setting the stage for a twisted version of the familiar tale. The narrative begins with a Tsar who leaves his pregnant wife to fight in a war, only to return and find her dead from joy after giving birth to their daughter. This sets the tone for a story filled with dark humor and unexpected twists.

The new Tsarina, who is both beautiful and evil, possesses a magical mirror that rates the beauty of women across Russia. When the mirror declares the young Tsarevna (Snow White) as the fairest, the Tsarina's jealousy drives her to order the girl's death. However, the servant tasked with killing her takes pity and lets her escape into the forest. Here, the Tsarevna finds refuge in a cabin protected by a colossal but friendly dog and inhabited by seven fierce Bogatyrs (Russian knights). The Tsarevna earns their protection by cleaning the cabin, and they live happily together, with vodka flowing freely.

The story takes a darker turn when the Tsarina discovers the Tsarevna is still alive. Disguised as a nun, she tricks the Tsarevna into eating a poisoned apple, leading to her death. The loyal dog sacrifices itself to inform the Bogatyrs of the treachery. The Tsarevna is placed in a glass coffin, and her prince, guided by celestial bodies, eventually finds her. In a dramatic climax, he breaks the coffin, reviving the Tsarevna, and they storm the castle to exact revenge on the Tsarina, who dies upon seeing the Tsarevna alive. The song concludes with a humorous note, warning listeners about talking mirrors and their sanity.

The song's blend of dark humor, cultural references, and a twisted take on a classic fairy tale makes it a captivating and entertaining piece. It highlights themes of jealousy, revenge, and the absurdity of certain fairy tale elements, all while maintaining a playful and engaging tone.
