Though is difficult to recognize them now, because they have changed in many aspects and grown with their music, they are still one of the best and most famous Argentine punk groups in Latin America. When they were just starting, they played the monotonous punk style characteristic of the punk groups of the late 1980s, but they now play a modern style of the likes of the neo punk. Also they do not wear denim anymore as it has become a fashion and they dislike fashion.
High points in the band's history we include the album El Cielo Puede Esperar (Heaven can wait), which made them famous; the high-selling album Amen and the successful 2003 album Antihumano (Anti-human).
All the members of the group are vegetarians and so they have composed many songs promoting animals rights, including Espiral de silencio (Spiral of Silence), San Fermin, Ojos de perro (Dog's Eyes). Some of their favorite bands, and those that have had the most influence on them, are: The Clash, Bad Religion and the already mentioned Ramones.
According to polls by their fan club Regimiento de pecadores (Sinners regiment), their most famous song is Hacelo por mi (Do it for me) and their best lyrics are in the song Donde las aguilas se atreven (Where the eagles dare) from which this fan club gets its name.

Cinco
Attaque 77 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cinco atractivas damas y un bebé en una plaza
se deleitaban a viva voz jugando en las hamacas,
era una criatura tan hermosa que incitaba,
a confundir deseos entre abrazos y miradas.
Ahogaban dulces pechos su risa lánguida en placer.
Caricias femeninas su cabeza perfumaban
miradas encendidas y sonrisas excitadas,
hundido en mares de besos y de amor inmaculado

podía percibir... podía percibir...
Daría media vida, por un instante en su lugar.
Perdido en medio de esa sensación me vi sentado ahí

imaginándome que todo me pasaba justo a mí
y sonreí.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Attaque 77's song Cinco paint a vivid image of a group of attractive women and a baby enjoying themselves in a park. The baby is described as being so beautiful that it incites desires and confusion among the women, as their sweet laughter and perfumed caresses engulf him. The song portrays a sense of passion and desire, with the singer longing to be in the baby's place, overwhelmed by love and kisses. This imagery transports the listener to a moment of indulgence where the line between fantasy and reality is blurred. The song ends with the singer sitting there, imagining himself in the baby's place, feeling lost within this overwhelming sensation.

Cinco showcases a complex portrayal of desire, showcasing how it can lead to confusion and entrapment. The song suggests that desire can make a person feel lost and unable to distinguish between feelings of lust and love. At the same time, the song suggests that such confusion can be intoxicating and that the line between fantasy and reality is blurred, leaving the singer lost in the moment.
