Many of his songs were covers of English-language rock and pop songs, with arrangements provided by music teachers and producers Enrique Okamura and Eduardo Magallanes. Jordán popularized several Bubblegum rock songs among youth in the Spanish-speaking world, singing songs by the 1910 Fruitgum Company, the Ohio Express and The Turtles as well as introducing the repertoire of singer-songwriters like Neil Diamond and Joe South.

Jordán left the stage for a number of years to pursue business and sports. In the mid-1980s, he returned to performing and even recorded a new version of his onetime hit Hazme una señal (a cover version of Brenton Wood's Gimme Little Sign). He also performed at a reunion concert with original Mexican rock acts such as Los Rockin' Devils, Los Teen Tops and Los Hermanos Carrión in 2006.

Roberto Jordan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo tengo una novia
Que es un poco tonta
Perro es mi gusto
Y yo la quiero mucho
no es muy bonita pero esta reloca

Y ella usa mallas tambien

Agujetas de color de rosa
Un sombrero grande y feo
El sombrero lleva plumas
De color azul pastel

Le gusta skiar y pasear en lancha
Y conducir un auto a gran velocidad
Si a una fiesta yo la llevo
Es un trompo bailando el rock

Agujetas de color de rosa
Un sombrero grande y feo
El sombrero lleva plumas
De color azul pastel

A sus amigas me presento
Y yo contento aí quede
Al ver a una rubia me impresione

Oh y ella usa mallas tambien

Agujetas de color de rosa
Un sombrero grande y feo

El sombrero lleva plumas
De color azul pastel
