In 1991 a court prohibited to the band the use of the full name due to a dispute with a former sound technician expelled from the band, but ignoring the sentence they published "Bajo presión" (Under pressure), their last album as LPR. Finally, in 1996 the band changes their name, making 'La Polla' alone. In September 2002 dies Fernandito (drumer), and they pubish their last album 'El ultimo (el) de La Polla' in 2003, having published 1 EP and 16 LPs. Evaristo (composer, singer and writer) continues raising his voice against nearly everything, with irony and good punk rock, with his new band Gatillazo.
El Pingüino
La Polla Records Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Parecerte a ti legal
Y tampoco hay nadie que lo intente
Sufres mucho y sufres mal
Estás puesto en la verdad
De tu último fancine
Mejorando tus conocimientos
Eres puro y buscas la pureza
Pero como tú no hay tres
Babas
Todo lo mides, todo lo sabes
Tienes razones, tienes las claves
Nos das cupones de salvación
Tú guardas nuestra revolución
Tú nos puntúas, tú nos apruebas
Tú eres un bobo y no té enteras
Espabila o morirás
Más idiota que al nacer
Nos aburres, eres un palizas
Eres como un puto mártir
The song "El Pingüino" by La Polla Records is a criticism of self-righteous individuals who think they are better than everyone else because of their knowledge of certain topics. The first verse talks about how no one can try to be like this person because they suffer a lot and they suffer badly. This person believes they have the ultimate truth in their last fancine (a type of fanzine), and they are constantly improving their knowledge to fulfill their duty.
The chorus explains that this person measures and knows everything, and they hold the keys to salvation. They judge and approve of us, and the singer tells them they are clueless and need to wake up. The last verse is a warning to this person that they will die more foolish than they were when they were born. The singer finds this person boring and annoying, like a martyr who thinks they are above everyone else.
Overall, "El Pingüino" criticizes those who think they are better than everyone else because of their knowledge, and highlights the danger of obsessing over our own truth without considering others' perspectives.
