Los Chochos Voladores

Siniestro Total's song "Los Chochos Voladores" is a satirical and humorous piece that uses absurdity to comment on societal fears and reactions to perceived threats. The song opens with the protagonist waking up to see large, hairy, and menacing flying creatures outside their window. The imagery of these creatures, described as 'chochos voladores,' immediately sets a surreal and comical tone. The chaos that ensues, with phones not working and people fleeing to Tarragona, amplifies the sense of panic and helplessness in the face of an absurd threat.

The chorus, repeating the phrase 'Los chochos voladores (¡ya están aquí!)', emphasizes the imminent and unavoidable nature of the threat. The use of the word 'chochos,' which can be a slang term for female genitalia in Spanish, adds a layer of crude humor and shock value. This choice of language serves to mock the irrationality of fear and the often ridiculous nature of what society deems threatening. The song's protagonist attempts to fight back with missiles and projectiles, which fail, highlighting the futility of conventional responses to unconventional problems.

In a twist of absurdity, the protagonist finds a solution by throwing a condom at the creatures, causing them to flee in terror. This bizarre resolution underscores the song's satirical nature, suggesting that sometimes the most unexpected and unconventional solutions can be the most effective. The song ends with the repeated chorus, reinforcing the cyclical nature of fear and the absurdity of the situation. Siniestro Total, known for their punk rock style and satirical lyrics, uses this song to critique societal reactions to fear and the often ludicrous measures taken to address it.
