Rapunzel (Destripando La Historia)

Pascu y Rodri's 'Rapunzel (Destripando La Historia)' offers a humorous and modern retelling of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale. The song begins by setting the stage in Germany, where a pregnant woman craves a plant called 'ruiponce' (rampion). Her husband, in an attempt to satisfy her cravings, steals the plant from their neighbor, who turns out to be a witch. The witch catches him and demands their unborn child in exchange for the stolen plant. This sets the stage for the birth of Rapunzel, who is named after the plant her mother craved.

Rapunzel is then locked away in a tower by the witch, where she grows into a beautiful young woman with long, golden hair. The witch uses Rapunzel's hair to climb the tower, but one day, a prince hears Rapunzel singing and decides to climb up as well. The two fall in love and meet secretly until Rapunzel becomes pregnant. When the witch discovers this, she is furious and cuts off Rapunzel's hair, banishing her to the wilderness. The prince, upon learning of Rapunzel's fate, is tricked by the witch and falls from the tower, losing his sight.

The story takes a turn towards redemption as the blind prince wanders the forest, calling out for Rapunzel. Eventually, they reunite, and Rapunzel's tears miraculously restore his sight. They live happily ever after, but not without a moral lesson: the song humorously reminds listeners that trading children for food is never a good idea. Pascu y Rodri's playful and irreverent take on this classic tale adds a fresh perspective, blending traditional storytelling with modern humor and cultural references.
