They contributed on Mexico and Mariachis, a compilation album to Rodríguez' "Mariachi Trilogy", and released their debut album, Mexican Spaghetti Western, in 2004.

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."

Esa noche, cuando yo la vi
a la señorita, de mi amor
cuando se paró, se me paró a mí
se me paró, paró, paró.

Ay señorita, me estás mirando a mí
me da vergüenza, se me paró
se me paró por ti, estás bien buena

se me paró, paró, paró, paró.
a ay güero

qué rico

suave, duro, suave, suave, suave,
aaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaaahhhh

Hay mamacita, se me paró por ti
es un buen palo, es para ti
siéntate aquí, es tu regalo
se me paró, paró, paró.

Ahora si estoy contento mamacita
Estás bien buena mamacita

Siéntate aquí
Ya báñate
