They're formed by Miguel Angel Rodriguez 'El Sevilla' (singer), J. Carlos Barja 'Zippy' (Bass), Vidal Barja 'El Puto' (Drums), Vidal Barja Jr. 'Vidalito' (Rythm Guitar), Juan Ramon Artero 'Chicho' (Solo Guitar).
They met in Barcelona and started to make gigs in small music halls. In 1996 after recording their first record, that label decided not to publish it because they thought the songs' lyrics were unsuitable.
When they finally became popular thanks to the radio show hosted by Jose Antonio Abellan and the caustic-humorous magazine 'El Jueves', that record was published. Their producer was Esteve Coll (who is still their producer and their keyboard) and the label Horus guaranteed to publish their first two records.
The first record 'Mojinos Escozios', contained both original songs and covers from popular rock songs, with their lyrics converted to their surrealistic and caustic humour. The record sold 90.000, against any prediction made by the group.
The second record 'Demasiao perro pa trabaja, demasiao carvo par rocanro'(too lazy to work, too bald for rock'n'roll, a reference to Jethro Tull's 'Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young To Die!') became a double platinum record selling 200.000 copies. The main single was 'chow chow', a song with subtle references of a man having sex with his neighbour hid by lyrics about a dog ('chow chow', a breed of dog, can be pronounced 'chocho', which means 'cunt'). From this record, they start to sing on various rock music festivals and their success increases.
In 2001 they publish their third record, first with label 'DRO': 'En un cortijo grande, el que es tonto se muere de hambre' (In a big farm, the dumb one starves to death). They give pure rock'n'roll the cold shoulder and start to experimented with more electronic sounds and with an increased subrealism in their lyrics. Altough some fans were dissapointed by their change of style, the record still sold 150.000 copies.

Fuego
Mojinos Escozíos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dos semanas llevo sin fumá,
Sin darle a un sigarro ni una calá
Es que la cosa tiene huevos,
Ahora que tengo tabaco, no tengo fuego.
Quiero que arguien me de fuego.
Que me fumaba hasta la joroba)
No encuentro a nadie que tenga un serillo,
Que tenga un mechero pa darme candela
Voy a tené que ensenderme el pitillo
Hasiendo chíspas con dos piedras.
Quiero que arguien me de fuego.
Disen que fumá es malo pa la salú
Pero más malo es que te pille un autobú.
(Viva los Ducados y la gente sin ducasión)
(Viva el paquete Marboro y el tío del caballo)
No quiero comía ni tampoco de bebé,
No quiero mujere ni tampoco dinero
Ya no se como voy a desí
Que solamente quiero fuego.
Quiero que arguien me de fuego.
(El otro día me llevé tres cuarto de hora buscando
El mechero que me regaló mi mujé, 4 mil pejeta y mira por
Donde no tenía gasolina, digo voy a pedirle fuego al primero
Que pase, y el primero que pasó era el más esaborío,
El tío me partió la cara y na, y to porque le pedí fuego le dí una chupaita
Al puro y dos beso en el bigote, será el tío malage)
Yo solo quiero fuego (Leré le ele).
The lyrics of Mojinos Escozios's "Fuego" start with the singer lamenting that he hasn't been able to smoke for two weeks, despite having tobacco on hand, because he doesn't have a lighter. He expresses the desire for someone to give him fire so he can finally light up. In the second verse, he continues to search for a lighter, but is unable to find anyone with one. He jokes about having to resort to rubbing two stones together to spark his cigarette. The chorus repeats the plea for someone to give him fire.
The third verse takes a sarcastic turn, as the singer laughs at the idea that smoking is bad for your health, but getting hit by a bus is worse. He then pays homage to different cigarette brands and people who smoke them. Finally, in the last verse, the singer declares that he doesn't want food, drink, women, or money - just fire. The song ends with a humorous anecdote about getting beaten up by a stranger when he asked him for a light.
