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.
Estrella Del Rock
La Polla Records Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soy una estrella del rock
Estoy con la CBS
Todo en día en la radio
Los discjokeys son de casa
Cuando tenga 40 años
Me voy a hacer la cirugía
Y venderé muchos discos
Con esta carita mía
Si me marco una chapuza
De la que ni Dios se aclara
Es una genialidad
Pues, ¿pa' qué compré los críticos?
Y hasta si un día me asqueo
Y con todo me mosqueo
Se me ocurre suicidarme
Me convertiré en un héroe
¡Oh, oh!
¡oh, oh!
¡oh, oh!
¡oh, oh!
Dabudebudebudap....
¡Oh, oh!
Soy una estrella del rock
Soy una estrella del rock
Soy una estrella del rock
Soy una estrella del rock
The song "Estrella Del Rock" by La Polla Records is a commentary on the music industry and the dream of becoming a rockstar. The lyrics start with the singer proclaiming themselves as a rockstar, signed to CBS and constantly played on the radio. The next lines reveal the singer's obsession with their appearance and their plan to get plastic surgery when they turn 40 to keep up their stardom. The singer then admits to not being the best musician, but instead relying on their appearance and ability to manipulate critics to sell records. The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Soy una estrella del rock" (I am a rockstar) as if to reinforce their identity.
The second verse describes a potential downfall of the rockstar. The singer admits that they may make mistakes and botch their plastic surgery, but they believe it will still be seen as a "genius" move. Additionally, the singer mentions the possibility of suicide as a way to become a hero and elevate their rockstar status even further. The song ends with another repetition of the chorus, as if to show the singer's commitment to this identity.
Overall, "Estrella Del Rock" critiques the culture of idolizing rockstars solely for their appearance and ability to sell records, rather than their talent or musical contributions.

Quiere decir que la canción merece la pena.
