Supongo que siendo un pedazo de mierda

Eso me conviene en un brother
En un carbon, en un negro cabrón

"Enola Gay" by Andrés Calamaro is a song that sheds light on the singer's confusion and curiosity regarding the American culture, society, and history. Calamaro's lyrics indicate a sense of detachment from his own identity as a Latin American, and a desire to understand and even assimilate into American culture. The opening lines of the song, "What the hell is Argentina?/ Never seen that in a map/ As a matter of fact, never seen a map in my life" suggests the singer's lack of knowledge about his own country, which might indicate a desire to learn more about other cultures.
The song also references many famous personalities from American history and pop culture, such as Oprah Winfrey, John Lennon, Walt Disney, Michael Jackson, Louis Armstrong, and Boy George. The singer seems to be fascinated and intrigued by these personalities, while at the same time, questioning their role in American culture. He also delves into political commentary, referencing the Enola Gay, the airplane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and questioning the motives behind America's space program and military might.
Overall, "Enola Gay" is a complex song that reflects the singer's search for identity and meaning, as well as his observations and critiques of American culture.
