Bananas

Pescao Vivo's song 'Bananas' is a humorous and satirical take on the theory of evolution, particularly the idea that humans descended from monkeys. The lyrics are filled with playful imagery and metaphors, using bananas and monkeys to question and mock the concept of human evolution. The song opens with the singer expressing confusion and disbelief about the stories taught in childhood, specifically the notion that a monkey was their ancestor. This disbelief is encapsulated in the repeated question, '¿serán bananas?' which can be interpreted as questioning the validity of these ideas.

The chorus reinforces the rejection of the evolutionary theory, with the singer emphatically stating, 'Yo no desciendo del mono, ese cuento no me lo como,' which translates to 'I do not descend from the monkey, I don't buy that story.' The reference to 'bananas' serves as a metaphor for the absurdity the singer feels about the theory. The song also includes a playful prayer to a 'father monkey,' asking for bananas, further emphasizing the satirical tone.

Throughout the song, Pescao Vivo uses clever wordplay and cultural references to challenge the listener's beliefs. The mention of 'mi primer abuelito fue Adán' (my first grandfather was Adam) indicates a preference for the creationist view over the evolutionary theory. The lyrics also caution against blindly accepting what is taught ('fíjate en lo que tragas'), urging listeners to think critically about the information they receive. The song's playful tone and catchy rhythm make it an engaging way to explore serious themes about belief, science, and the nature of truth.
