The group had several other members that lasted less than 1 album with the group.

OV7 followed a trend started during the 1980s by another pop group Timbiriche. In 1989, Mexican singer and producer 'Julissa', decided to do her own version of 'Grease' or 'Vaselina' (in Spanish). After the season finished, Julissa decided to form a group based on the play, following the trend set by 'Timbiriche', she founded 'La Onda Vaselina'. Shortly after, they recorded their first album, with remarkable success and with singles like, 'Que Buen Reventon' (their first single) and 'Triste Es El Primer Adios', that became big hits during the early 1990s. With their first album they sold over 100,000 copies, and had a successful tour. Their second album: 'Onda Vaselina 2', was one of the most successful albums of the 90's in Mexico, with popular hits that became public domain, such as: 'El Calendario' and 'Voy Voy Voy'. Their next album was, 'Dulces Para Ti', which was followed by a set of live shows in one of Mexico City's most important venues, the 'Teatro Aldama'. The album's biggest hits were 'Tu Seras Mi Baby' and 'La Llorona Loca'.

Their fourth album was a 'Regional Mexican Music' album named: 'Que se pongan botas y se quiten tenis' (Put some boots on and lose the tennis shoes). The biggest hit of the album was the song of the same name. The group had also several hits in Spain from that album.

OV7 took a long break after that, and then came back with a more mature sound, during their teenage years. They came out with 'HOY' (Today), an album that was targeted for the teen market. It featured alternative rock songs mixed with pop and strong lyrics. Hits were 'Que Sube Que Baja' and 'Perdon'. The album flopped and the group decided to take a long break, in which they also considered to split.

In 1998 Onda Vaselina made a huge come back with a strong album that made history in the Mexican charts: 'Entrega Total'. The album sent the group back to the #1 spot not only in Mexico, but the rest of Latin America, The biggest hits were 'Mirame A Los Ojos', 'Un Pie Tras Otro Pie' and 'Te Quiero Tanto Tanto', which peaked at #1 in the Billboard Latin Chart. Still today both songs are played in clubs and weddings throughout Latin America. The group also toured and filled the Auditorio Nacional 4 times, while they released their album 'Vuela Mas Alto' which had the hit: 'No Es Obsesion'. After Vuela Mas Alto, Onda Vaselina decided to take a break and finished their relations with their manager and creator Julissa.

After 8 years went by, and Onda Vaselina were ready to come back without Julissa. For legal reasons, they switched their name to OV7 (which stands for Onda Vaselina 7, for the number of members) and released their first single 'Enloqueceme' and their album 'CD 00', which was one of the biggest albums in Mexican history, and this time, they filled the Auditorio Nacional 10 times. At the time the group reached the #1 spot throughout Latin America with singles like 'Shabadabada', 'Mas Que Amor', 'Jam' and the hit 'Enloqueceme'. The album sold 2 million copies in Mexico and contained an English speaking single 'Angelica' that was never released.

As being Mexico's biggest pop group, they tried to make the 'crossover' to the English speaking market with an English version of their new single 'Love Colada' which was the first single from their album 'Siete Latidos' (Seven Beats). The song was only released for promo in North America and due to group problems with Televisa, they promoted it in Latin America with average success. The group was invited to collaborate in the 2002 World Cup Official Album with the track: 'Bringing The World Back Home'.

In November 2002, the group announced their plans to split up live at Operacion Triunfo TV show. Followed by a Greatest Hits CD ,'Punto', in 2003, OV7 had a farewell tour and officially split up in June 2003 after 14 years of being together.

A Los Ojos De Tu Madre
Onda Vaselina Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Intenté cambiar por ti
Pero sigo siendo el que paga
Siempre los platos rotos por los dos
Es dificil creer que yo

Sin trabajo sin un futuro
Alguien tan inmaduro te hay apuesto asi
La princesita de cristal

Con la que solo podemos soñar, está por mi

Multiplicar me sale bien
Y multiplico cada dos por tres
Lo mucho que te quiero y sé
Que a los ojos de tu madre soy un don nadie

Es cierto que, saber estar en casa
Y donde gentes nunca formaron parte
De mi encanto personal
Pero dime donde vas a encontrar otro

Loco que esté dispuesto
A besar hasta el suelo que te ve pisar
La princesita de cristal
El ojito derecho de papá, dijo si

Multiplicar me sale bien
Y multiplico cada dos por tres

Lo mucho que te quiero y sé
Que a los ojos de tu madre soy un don nadie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Onda Vaselina's song A Los Ojos De Tu Madre are a lamentation of unrequited love. The singer of the song has tried to change themselves to gain the love of the person they desire, but they feel that their efforts have been in vain. They feel like they're always picking up the pieces, and are disheartened that, despite their efforts, they can't seem to make the relationship work. This is compounded by their feeling of inadequacy in the eyes of the other person's mother, who sees them as a nobody.

The singer is trying to reconcile their feelings of love with the reality of the situation. They argue that they may not have a promising career or a mature outlook, but their love for the other person is real and unconditional. They are willing to do anything to make the other person happy, even if it means being humiliated or overlooked.

The lyrics of A Los Ojos De Tu Madre are relatable to anyone who has ever been in love but felt like they weren't good enough. The song's melancholy mood and haunting melody evoke a feeling of melancholy that lingers long after the song has ended.
