1. Los Miserables is a well-known Chilean punk rock band formed in the early 1990s shortly after the demise of the military regime of Augusto Pinochet. The band is known for its songs charged with strong left-wing political ideas and anti-establishment commentary. The band has clearly presented itself as actvist in its work with major participation in political events, international charity concerts, human rights events, and volunteer work in impoverished Chilean communities. The band has modeled itself in some ways after the famed Chilean band Los Prisioneros, who left a void after their initial break-up in 1990. Their albums can be found in Chile, Latin America, and the United States.
This band achieved major success in Chile in the mid 1990s, and is well known in Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. They have recorded 8 albums, including three live albums, and received gold records in Chile. The band has also contributed songs to major Chilean movie soundtracks - including the main song for the Chilean film El Leyton, a film by famed director Gonzalo Justiniano, of the films B-Happy (2003), Amnesia (1994), and Caluga o Menta (1990). They have also performed in tribute albums to Victor Jara, Violeta Parra, and Los Prisioneros.
Mas Vale Ser Punky
Los Miserables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Y yo con mi chica puerco espin
Viajo siempre en limosin
No me gusta el bipermint
Ni el perfume pachuli.
Sabias que ...
Le huele el aliento
Más vale ser punky
Que maricón de playa.
Lalalala lalala
The lyrics to Los Miserables' song "Mas Vale Ser Punky" express a rebellious attitude against the mainstream societal norms and expectations. The singer, traveling in a limousine with his girlfriend who is described as a "porcupine," declares his distaste for the pleasant scent of peppermint and patchouli. Additionally, he mentions a person with bad breath, referred to as "perry." The chorus proclaims that it is better to be a "punky" (a word often associated with the punk rock subculture) than a "maricón de playa" (a derogatory term for someone who is considered too feminine or weak).
The use of slang, such as "punky," and the mention of non-conforming behavior, such as not liking pleasant smells, are markers of countercultural beliefs. The song's message of rejecting mainstream expectations can also be interpreted politically or socially, encouraging listeners to challenge dominant power structures.
