Horror En El Hipermercado
Alaska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lleno de Quench y Mielitos
Mari Pili va muy mona
Con su faldita de goma
Terror en el hipermercado
Horror en el ultramarinos
Mi chica ha desaparecido
Mari Pili rica, guapa
De bonito ni una lata
Ven deprisa, ven corriendo
Yo te espero en complementos
Terror en el hipermercado
Horror en el ultramarinos
Mi chica ha desaparecido
Y nadie sabe cómo ha sido
Llevo horas esperando
Mari Pili está tardando
Esta chica no coordina
Mary Pili ven monina
Terror en el hipermercado
Horror en el ultramarinos
Mi chica ha desaparecido
Y nadie sabe cómo ha sido
¿De quién es esta cabeza?
¿Este brazo, esta pierna?
Ay Mari Pili eres tú
Ay qué disgusto, ay que cruz
Terror en el hipermercado
Horror en el ultramarinos
Mi chica ha desaparecido
Y nadie sabe cómo ha sido
The lyrics to Alaska's song Horror En El Hipermercado describe a scene at a hypermarket where the singer, accompanied by their girlfriend Mari Pili, is shopping for groceries. Mari Pili is described as looking cute in her rubber skirt, but suddenly she disappears without a trace, causing the singer to panic. As they search for her, they encounter gruesome sights such as limbs and heads that are unrecognizable before finally realizing that one of the body parts belongs to Mari Pili. The song has an eerie feel to it, with the hypermarket becoming a place of horror and terror.
The lyrics are an ironic commentary on consumerism, where the hypermarket is no longer a place of comfort and convenience but one of fear and uncertainty. The song implies that in a capitalist society, people are reduced to mere commodities that are bought and sold, and that anything can happen in the face of such dehumanization. The image of Mari Pili's body parts appearing unrecognizable to the singer signifies the dehumanization of people in a hypermarket, where they are reduced to objects that are no longer recognizable as human.
