Their first record, “LOS PERICOS” released in 1988 was the best selling album of the year, obtaining Triple Platinum Award for its 180 thousand units sold.
One year later, they recorded KING KONG, produced by Herbert Vianna (OS PARALAMAS DO SUCESSO). Immediately after, they launched Maxi ANFITREU, a vinyl disc that impacted because of its unique style.
In 1990 LOS PERICOS launched their third studio record RAB A DAB STAIL and they went on tour, performing several live concerts around Argentina, highlighting the two shows at the LUNA PARK Stadium in Buenos Aires.
Their 4th album, BIG YUYO, was launched in 1993. In it PERICOS, showed a strongly predominant musical sound reflecting their own identity with songs such as: ME LATE, WAITIN, HACE LO QUE QUIERAS, etc. They caused a surge of popularity across Latin America countries chartering successfully.
That same year LOS PERICOS were invited to participate in the 6th INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL REGGAE SUNSPLASH Edition, taking place annually in JAMAICA.
In 1994 they performed again in the INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL REGGAE SUNSPLASH and closed the WORLD BEAT NIGHT. Rita Marley invited them to the TUFF GONG RECORDS studios, where BOB MARLEY used to record.
That July, they enthusiastically embarked on a tour through the United States including the cities of Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston, after finishing the recording of their 5th album in that country.
With the released of PAMPAS REGGAE, tours across Latin America and the sales of their records continued to increase.
Their sales reached more than one million copies worldwide.
Their 6th album, YERBABUENA, was released simultaneously in every country of LATIN AMERICA, the UNITED STATES and SPAIN.

On 27th of November 1998, they released MYSTIC LOVE and the videoclip of its first cut, SIN CADENAS.
The presentation of MYSTIC LOVE was on AUGUST 31st and September 1st at the OPERA THEATRE, both performances were absolutely SOLD OUT without having the opportunity to add shows due to the theatre’s lack of available dates.
In November they started the 5th Mystic Love Tour including the cities of NEW JERSEY, QUEENS, MANHATTAN and MONTREAL. That was the first time an Argentinean band reached this Canadian City and obtained stunning reviews in TORONTO, where they presented a very hot show in spite of low temperature.
At the beginning of 2000, LOS PERICOS gave a show at RIVER PLATE STADIUM celebrating THE NEW MILENIUM for an audience of 75,000 people.
LOS PERICOS began mixing a new album, a tribute to the 1008 shows performed until such time, called: 1000 VIVOS.
During 2001 they continued with their shows across the continent and were invited to close the 2001 VIVE LATINO edition.
In 2004, the Argentinean band with 17 years of successful path, surprised its fans by changing their vocal scheme; with Juanchi Baleiron switching from lead guitar to vocals.
With a completely fresh approach, fuelled by the beginning of a new stage of change and challenge, they presented a live show with a more compact scheme, reinforcing their reggae-rock format.
More than two million records were sold and 1600 live shows performed, rocketing LOS PERICOS as one of the MOST IMPORTANT BANDS in the history of LATIN REGGAE/ROCK.
In August 2005 the band released its new album called "7" with performances across Latin America.
In 2006 the band went on one of its most important tours. They performed in México, Uruguay, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, USA, Venezuela, Canadá, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Salvador and Perú; more than 140 shows in a year.
2007 starts with the Argentinean summer tour , performing in this country’s most popular vacation destinations. In April they returned to Mexico for the Reggae Music Fest featuring Pato Banton in their set. During May they closed the International Festival of Veracruz, and had a show for 50,000 in Caracas Venezuela.
PERICOS is currently working on new material to be released this November.
El Satánico Dr. Cadillac
Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que el miedo te comió los pies
Y que ahora sos un tipo más
Y 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 ser cool
Te sienta bien el mal
Te sienta bien mentir, y 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 y esa es la razón
Siempre algun 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 y esa es la razón
Siempre algun 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 Satánico Dr. Cadillac" by Los Pericos depict a narrative of someone who has changed and distanced themselves from their former place or group. The singer expresses their intention to drink on behalf of this person in order to forget their fear and the fact that they have become just another ordinary person. The song suggests that this individual has gradually drifted away, finding comfort in the sun, in being cool, in embracing evil, in assuming the role of a god, in lying and saying that they have left their previous place behind. The lyrics question what has happened to this person's heart, as it no longer follows the same path as before. It implies that this person has never truly been free and has always relied on the influence of others to make decisions. The song also criticizes the person for talking all night as if they were a boy scout, discussing the singer's life as if they were their own father. Ultimately, the song emphasizes that Los Cadillacs (a reference to the band Los Fabulosos Cadillacs) are playing for this person, indicating that even though they have changed, they still hold significance in their life.

Por supuesto! Como no! Si HABIA un grupo que tenia que hacer este cover eran ellos, con toda esa historia detrás. Y les salió genial, aun con ese ritmo pacifico se siente la vena, la bronca.
En fin, de las mejores versiones que escuche de este tema.
