Por Que Siempre A Mi Me Pasa

Virulo's song "Por Que Siempre A Mi Me Pasa" is a humorous and satirical take on the misadventures of love and the often absurd lengths people go to in order to win someone's affection. The song's protagonist finds himself repeatedly encountering extraordinary situations whenever he steps out of his house, particularly when he sees a woman of stunning beauty. This sets the stage for a series of increasingly desperate and comical attempts to declare his love.

The lyrics are rich with cultural and mythological references, as the protagonist initially tries to woo the woman by comparing her to goddesses like Palas Atenea and Venus Afrodita. This grandiose approach, however, leaves the woman utterly confused, prompting him to switch tactics. He then offers more tangible and materialistic promises, such as a furnished apartment, air conditioning, and even a car, hoping these modern conveniences will win her over. Despite his efforts, the woman remains unresponsive, leading him to believe she prefers straightforwardness.

In a final, more direct attempt, the protagonist resorts to crude and explicit language, suggesting a life of uninhibited freedom and even "tremenda pornografía." Yet, the woman remains impassive, and the comedic twist is revealed when a bystander shouts from the corner, urging him to leave the deaf woman alone. This punchline not only underscores the futility of his efforts but also adds a layer of irony and humor to the narrative. Virulo's clever use of language, cultural references, and escalating absurdity makes this song a delightful exploration of the often ridiculous nature of romantic pursuits.
