Their "Mi Agüita amarilla" single (My Yellow Water) is still well-known and it stays as one of the symbols of the "Movida Madrileña" movement in the Spanish collective mind. Being their main hit, the lyrics describe what happens to the "yellow water" coming out of our body as it "spreads all over the world and turns the jungle green and falls over you all again. The group was also famous for their various appearances on the young audience targeted "La Bola de Cristal" TV Show hosted by the singer and another "Movida" symbol Alaska.
Disbanded in 1992, Pablo Carbonell is still a well known TV showman.
Falangista
Los Toreros Muertos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qué buenos son que nos llevan de excursión.
Ya tengo la mochila preparada, ya me voy a la estación,
No me olvido de llevarme la pomada, ni el librito de orientación.
Voy hacia montañas nevadas a plantar nuestra tienda de campaña
Vamos muchos camaradas cantando en la madrugada.
Soy falangista, me voy de excursión,
Soy falangista, me voy de excursión
A las nueve nos vamos a por leña y a las once nos subimos a una peña.
A las doce toque de fajina y a las cuatro cavamos mas letrinas,
A las cinco no se que hacer, tiempo libre no se que hacer.
Soy falangista, me voy de excursión,
Soy falangista, me voy de excursión
Esta noche junto a la hoguera entonamos las canciones mas sorderas
Y el jefe del campamento contará unas historias de miedo.
Soy falangista, me voy de excursión,
Soy falangista, me voy de excursión.
The lyrics to Los Toreros Muertos's song "Falangista" serve as a sarcastic tribute to the youth camps organized by the Spanish Falange party in the early 20th century. The first stanza praises the Salesian priests who led the camps and took the children on excursions. The singer of the song eagerly packs his backpack, making sure to bring sunscreen and a guidebook. He stops to sing with his comrades as they trek through snowy mountains, announcing proudly that he is a Falangist going on a tour.
The second stanza is a humorous retelling of the daily routine at the camp, where the children wake up at dawn, collect firewood, climb rocks, and dig latrines. There is a touch of boredom in the repetition of tasks, and the singer confesses that he doesn't know what to do with his free time. The third stanza describes the evening activities around the campfire, where the Falangists sing and listen to ghost stories.
Overall, the song portrays the Falangist camps as a mixture of indoctrination, militarism, and naive adventure. The lyrics use irony and exaggeration to expose the absurdity of this fascist organization, whose ideology would later support Franco's dictatorship in Spain.
