Panteón Rococó blend several styles of popular music such as rock, punk, salsa, cumbia, mariachi, reggae, ska, and also mestizo music into a very energetic, groovy sound. As they are very political people and sympathize with the EZLN in Chiapas, some of their lyrics contain political statements, but many others are love songs.
While very popular in Mexico, they are not so known in Europe, hence their contributions and tours there.

Así te quería de papel
Te escondía debajo de la cama
Y te sacaba de noche y de mañana
Y contigo como me divertía
Así te quería sin hablar, sin hablar
Yo nunca en la vida te escuche
Y me servias muy bien de pasa rato
Eras mi amante de papel cuche
Pero paso el tiempo y sin querer, sin querer
Se canso mi mano y mi vista
Ya se te arrancaron todas las hojas
Solo me queda una imagen bien pegajosa
Ay amante necesito otra revista
Necesito otra revista
Necesito otra revista
El demonio ha vendido su alma
Por las piernas de una rubia que trabaja
Que baila y se desnuda en la concordia
Un lugar que cierra en las mañanas
Y el se sienta a verla bailar
Toma un trago y luego se va
El demonio le ha comprado un regalo
Para que ella por siempre se enamore de el
Pero ella solo quiere su dinero
Sexo seguro y olvidar lo que paso
Y el se sienta a verla bailar
Toma un trago y luego se va
Y el se sienta a verla bailar
Toma un trago y luego se va
Mira la rubia, mira el demonio
Mira a los dos bailar
Mira la rubia, mira el demonio
Mira a los dos bailar
Mira la rubia, mira el demonio
Mira a los dos bailar
Mira la rubia, mira el demonio
Mira a los dos bailar
Y el se sienta a ver un private
Toma un trago y dice ay wey
Y el se sienta y quiere agarrar
Toma un trago y lo echan del bar
Lo echan del bar
Lo echan del
The song "Centerfold Blues / La Rubia Y El Demonio" by Panteón Rococó is a tale of two lovers, one made of paper and the other a real-life dancing girl. The first part of the song describes the singer's love for a paper lover, whom he kept hidden under his bed to bring out at any time to amuse himself. The lover is a mere portrait, serving as a pastime for the singer. However, time passes, and the portrait's pages start falling off, leaving only a sticky image. The singer longs for a new magazine, a new image to entertain him.
The second part of the song shifts to a different image of a demon who has sold his soul for the legs of a blonde girl who works as a dancer. The demon buys her gifts hoping to make her fall in love with him, but she is only interested in his money and wants to forget everything that happened between them. The demon sits and watches her dance, drinking himself into a stupor while wanting to touch her. Eventually, his actions lead to him getting kicked out.
The song is a commentary on love and the objectification of women. The first part of the song shows how easily people can fall in love with objects, possessions, or depictions of people rather than the person themselves. The second part portrays the demon's obsession with the blonde girl, ultimately leading to his downfall. The malicious portrayal of these characters and their circumstances illustrates the dangers of objectifying people and how it can lead to an unhealthy and dangerous obsession.
