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.
Kiero Un Buey

animal trepador
Conocí una vez tiempo atrás un raro ser
Txikito Barrigas ese era su nombre
Yo le ví empezar, mucho hablar y poco hacer
Txikito Barrigas ese era su nombre
eran malos tiempos y no quiso dar la cara
pero por fin todo cambió y encontró su solución
Txikito Barrigas ese era su nombre
Y por fin consiguió su papada en un cartel
Prometió revolución y al ganar se le olvidó
Txikito Barrigas eso no es un hombre
Txikito Barrigas -Txikito Barrigas
Ya sólo cerraba el puño
para recoger la pasta
ayudaba a los de abajo
apretando su garganta
Conocerle no fue un placer
Chubidubi-dubidua
Quiero un buey, quiero un buey, quiero un buey...
The lyrics of "Kiero un Buey" by La Polla Records describe the desire for a fat and obedient animal, similar to the kind of people who are willing to follow blindly without questioning authority. The song tells the story of a man named "Txikito Barrigas", who at first seemed promising, but ended up being a disappointment. He promised revolution while campaigning for power and even managed to win, but once he did he forgot his promises and only cared about personal gain. The songmaker's disappointment in him is reflected in the line "Txikito Barrigas eso no es un hombre," which means "Txikito Barrigas, that's not a man." The lyrics also express criticism towards those in power who manipulate and abuse the people under them.
The song indicates a political message of rebellion against those in power who abuse their position and betray the people's trust. The singer expresses the desire for a strong and dependable figure, someone who would not be swayed by the temptation of power, money, or fame. The song calls out those who have failed in their duty to lead with moral integrity and honesty. The use of animal imagery, particularly the buey (ox), reinforces the idea that a true leader should be someone with vigor, humility, and devotion to his ideals, rather than someone who uses their power to serve their own personal interests.

Después de 20 años escucho esta canción y me da por pensar en pablo iglesias, ese que tanto mencionaba en su día a Evaristo, pues esta canción es la horma del su zapatu.
