Menea el Bullarengue
Siniestro Total Lyrics

The lyrics of Siniestro Total's song "Menea el bullarengue" are a mix of various cultural references and dance genres. The song starts with a mention of "Baile de San Vito," which is also known as St. Vitus' dance, a condition characterized by uncontrollable dancing movements. Then, the song moves on to mention the "Manhattan boogie-woogie," a dance style that originated in Harlem during the 1920s. Next, there is a reference to the "Vals de Viena," a Viennese waltz that became popular during the 19th century. The song also refers to "La marsellesa," the French national anthem, which has a revolutionary and patriotic tone.

The chorus of the song repeatedly says "Menea, menea, menea el bullarengue," which is a call to dance the bullerengue, a traditional Afro-Colombian dance. The song adds a "Guah, guah" after the first chorus, which might be a reference to the sound of birds in the Colombian Caribbean coast. Later, the lyrics mention "Himno a Riego," another revolutionary hymn dedicated to Rafael del Riego, a 19th-century Spanish general. The song then adds a surprising mention of "Smoke on de water" by Deep Purple, a classic rock song that contrasts with the previous references. Finally, the song ends with a mention to "Pajaro chogüí," a bird found in the Caribbean region, and "Himno a la alegría," which is the Spanish version of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."
