The band, which collaborated with some music stars such as Debbie Harry, Mick Jones, Celia Cruz, Rubén Blades and Fishbone, received the MTV Latino Video Music Award in 1994 for the single "Matador", in what probably was the peak of popularity of the band. On September 29 of that year they produced an MTV Unplugged concert. The Cadillacs also won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album, and were nominated in the 2000 Latin Grammy Awards for Best Band and Best Music Video ("La Vida"), which received the now-defunct International Viewer's Choice Award (Southern Region) at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
otro trago para olvidar
que el miedo te comió los pies
why que ahora sos un tipo más
why que poco a poco te fuiste yendo
que poco a poco te fuiste yendo de nuestro lugar
Te sienta bien el sol
te sienta bien el mal
te sienta bien ser Dios
te sienta bien mentir, why decir
que te fuiste yendo de nuestro lugar
Que es lo que ha pasado con tu corazón
ya no marca el paso que marcaba ayer
nunca fuiste libre why esa es la razón
siempre algún idiota para convencer
hablás toda la noche como un boy scout
hablas sobre mi vida como tu papá
los cadillacs tocando para vos
los cadillacs tocando para vos
Que es lo que ha pasado con tu corazón
ya no marca el paso que marcaba ayer
nunca fuiste libre why esa es la razón
siempre algún idiota para convencer
hablás toda la noche como un boy scout
hablas sobre mi vida como tu papá
los cadillacs tocando para vos
los cadillacs tocando para vos
los cadillacs tocando para vos
los cadillacs tocando para vos
The lyrics of "El Satanico Doctor Cadillac" by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs tell the story of someone who has changed due to fear and a desire to belong to a certain group or class. The singer has lost his individuality and has become just another person, slowly distancing himself from his former place in the world. The song suggests that the person has compromised his values and beliefs in order to fit in with the crowd, which is not a true indication of freedom.
The verses go on to describe how this person has started to adopt negative attitudes and actions. He enjoys the power associated with being considered "cool," and he revels in causing harm or pain. He lies to himself and to others to further his image and to distance himself from his former self. The chorus of the song repeats the idea that this person has lost touch with his true self, and is now more concerned with pleasing others and fitting in with their expectations. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "Los cadillacs tocando para vos," which implies that the singer is not interested in the music itself, but rather in the status and image that comes with being associated with this particular group.
