Chingon also contributed the song "Malagueña Salerosa" to Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 2 — which Rodríguez scored — and a live performance by the band was included on the film's DVD release. They also contributed to the soundtrack for his next film, the collaboration with Quentin Tarantino called Grindhouse, doing a cover of the film's opening theme, re-titling it "Cherry's Dance of Death."
Rodríguez plays guitar in the band.
The band's name comes from a Mexican slang term, chingón, meaning "badass."

The lyrics of "Fideo del oeste" by Chingón are simple yet evocative. The song is primarily made up of a repeating chorus that consists of only two words, "fideo" and "oeste." These words are repeated throughout the song with different arrangements and inflections, creating a haunting and mesmerizing effect.
The lyrics seem to be about a type of love that is specific to the west, perhaps referring to the American West or the Mexican West. The chorus, "nuestro amor es amor del oeste" (our love is love of the west) reinforces this idea. The simplicity of the lyrics invites interpretation and imagination, allowing the listener to project their own images and emotions onto the song.
The instrumentation of the song is also significant in its evocation of the west. The use of acoustic guitar, accordion, and drums creates a sound that is both traditional and contemporary. The guitar riffs and percussion evoke the wide open spaces of the west, while the accordion brings to mind the more traditional and rural sounds of Mexican music.
Overall, "Fideo del oeste" is a song that is open to interpretation, inviting the listener to connect with the west in their own way. The repeating chorus and haunting instrumentation create a sense of place and feeling that is undeniable.
