They are known for their unique sound and goofy style. In 1995 they released their first CD titled "Peor es mascar lauchas, roughly translated to "anything is better than nothing at all," a pre-emptive excuse for those who did not like the album. They actively participate in community-related events, playing benefits for the Chilean National Commission of Scientific and Technological Investigation. They are also known for musical contributions to the popular Chilean children's puppet show 31 Minutos.
Chancho en Piedra has released 11 albums since their debut in 1995, gaining them widespread familiarity, not only in Latin America but internationally as well, allowing them to perform at events such as the Memphis' Beale Street Music Festival in May of 2009.

Chancho En Piedra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que se pudiera entender en todo lugar
Dificil petición para alguien como yo
Que pronuncia como el hoyo y habla a pura chuchá
Me acordé de internet, de la pelicula de ayer
De Shatira, de Paulina y de Ricky Miguel
Así que aquí les va una canción en inglés
Y el que no entienda que estudie pa' aprender
I don't know what I'm singing
But I don't care
One, two, three, four
Are you ready for my English song
This is the window, this is the door
I wanna take eleven in your home
Is easy sing in english, everything sounds well
Inclusive motherfucker, suena very okey
Escuse me my friend, I'm not a gentlemen
I'm sudaca ordaca and I like the maracas
I don't know what I'm singing
But I don't care
Anyway don't understand nothing
And I don´t care
I wanna try to sing like a gringo
Kissing, licking and sucking beautiful girls
I really wanna eat me a tu hermana
I wanna be part of your first world
Okey, repeat after me
I'm, I'm
You are you are
We are, we are
We are, we are
We are, we are
we are
I don't know what I'm singing
But I don't care
Quiero tratar de cantar como los gringos
Besando, languetiando y chupando una linda mujer
Quiero comerme a your sister
Y a tu primer mundo pertenecer
Mejor que me despida en español
Es la lengua que yo hablo y domino mejor
Y aunque Britney Spears se enamorara de mi
Le diría te comería un mojón
The song "Inglishzong" by Chancho En Piedra is a humorous take on the challenges of creating a song in English for a non-native speaker. The lyrics describe how the record label asked the artist to create a song that could be understood everywhere. However, the artist struggles with pronouncing English words and speaking with a lot of vulgar language. As a result, they decide to just sing random English phrases that do not make sense but sound catchy.
The chorus "I don't know what I'm singing, but I don't care" emphasizes the humorous nature of the song and how the artist does not take themselves too seriously. The artist also attempts to imitate the way Americans speak by referencing kissing, licking, and sucking girls and wanting to be part of the "first world." However, they ultimately decide to end the song in Spanish, which they feel more comfortable with.
Overall, the song is a playful and satirical take on the pressures of the music industry to create songs that can make it big in the English-speaking world despite the barriers of language and culture.
