Punk rock now: Siniestro Total. One of the best (if not the best) bands in the genre. Apart from the already-mentioned "classic" I'll Dance on Your Tomb, here you are a few more hits, with their characteristic mocking tone. These are Asssumpta (who was "a girl from Barcelona") and Pueblos del mundo ("Peoples of the World"):



♫ "Pueblos del mundo: ¡extinguíos!..........Peoples of the World: kill yourselves!
Dejad que continúe la evolución........Let evolution go on.
esterilizad a vuestro hijos........Sterilize your children.
Juntos de la mano..............Let's go together hand in hand
hacia la extinción............towards the extinction.
" ♫


Cuenca minera ("Coal-mining Area") is a funny song about some crazy miners. Hermano, bebe ("Brother, drink") is a brilliant ode to alcohol:


"(...)
Hermano, bebe,............................Drink, brother,
que la vida es breve,......................because life is short,
y aunque a ti no te lo pareciere.......and believe it or not,
el más grande bien........................even the biggest good thing
siempre es pequeño.......................is always small.
No seas berebere, Mohamed...........Don't be a Berber, Muhammad.
(...)"


*Ayatola, no me toques la pirola ("Ayatollah, Don't Piss Me Off", 1982) was "dedicated" to Khomeini (when he prohibited music in Iran). Nowadays we could dedicate it to Ahmadineyad.
*Bueno, pero no empecemos... (an homage to Pulp Fiction)
*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPv3-HMkteQ (a sarcastic song about chastity)

And now, shoegazing. De la monarquía a la criptocracia ("From Monarchy to Cryptocracy") by Triángulo de Amor Bizarro, and Nunca estás a la altura by Klaus & Kinski:
