The three girls were initially cast in the mid-1980s for a TV show to be called Fans, which was to feature chats and sing-alongs with guest stars. When plans for the show fell through, a project was started to turn the girls into a pop music group. The group was renamed "Flans" and their first album, Flans, was launched in 1985. Their style was mainly pop music and ballads although one of their albums (Cuéntamelo Dum-Dum) is somewhat child-oriented.
The group released a new album every year until 1990 when they separated, with a national tour and the release of their "last" album Adiós.
After their separation in 1990, Ivonne married and devoted herself to painting; Mimí and Ilse started solo careers, with Mimí also being the host for a TV show.
Rumors of a reunion started in 1999 and were confirmed with the 2000 release of Hadas, although further work by the group has been sporadic.
In 2002, the group changed their name to IIM and released a new album of Electronic versions of their greatest hits.
In 2006, the group returned under the name Flans for a good-bye tour "20 Millas Despues", with a final concert in Mexico City.
El no es un Rocky
Flans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no sabe bailar en las fiestas rock and roll
Y si futbol él juega no mete un gol siquiera
y así lo quiero es mi elección
Él no es ni alto ni fuerte ni veloz
no tiene ninguna medalla de campeón
Él es un chico serio que estudia y me hace versos
No, él no es un Rocky, no, oh, oh
No, él no es un Rocky, no
no es un héroe, no
pero así lo amo yo
No, él no es un Rocky, no, oh, oh
No, él no es un Rocky, no
no es un héroe, no
no, no, no, no, no, no
Siempre está pasado de moda su pantalón
y su carcacha perece un dragón
Él es un buen muchacho, sensible y educado
por eso a mí me conquisto
No, él no es un Rocky, no
The song "El no es un Rocky" by Flans is about a girl who is in love with a boy who is unlike what society makes us believe is the perfect man. The boy is not an artist, nor athletic, and doesn't know how to dance to rock and roll at parties. He is not tall, strong, or fast and hasn't won any awards. He is a serious student who writes her poetry, and that's how he won her heart. The girl wants to emphasize that despite everything, she loves him for who he is and not for his looks, social status, or physical abilities.
The chorus repeats the line "No, el no es un Rocky" which translates to "He is not a Rocky." The reference to Rocky likely refers to the character Rocky Balboa from the Rocky series of films. Rocky is an underdog boxer who rises to fame and glory. He is handsome, athletic, and heroic, and this character has become a symbol of masculinity, strength, and success. Therefore, the title of the song affirms that the girl's boyfriend is not what society considers a "real man," yet she loves him anyway.
The song challenges societal norms that dictate what a man should be and what a woman should expect from a man. It highlights the importance of loving someone for who they are and not for what they possess or look like. It's a tribute to those who are not the stereotypical "hero" or "hunk" that the media portrays as attractive and desirable. Instead, it asks us to look beyond appearances and appreciate the essence of a person.

Teniendo el antecedente de que Sony editó completamente todos los errores de letra y afinación del CD/DVD de Jeans “En vivo” (asi, entrecomillado) pensé que harían lo mismo aquí con Ilse cantando erróneamente la parte de Ivonne, pero no, se agradece porque ahora si se siente un disco EN VIVO (Así, sin entrecomillar). 😎😎
