Las influencias de grupos como The Jam, The Who, Vapors, etc inclinan su sonido hacia el power pop (introduciendo el uso de esta ‘etiqueta’) y se acercan al movimiento mod de Barcelona. Actuando en las pocas salas de Barcelona y provincia durante el año 1981. Destacan los conciertos en el antiguo Zeleste y en Magic, compartiendo cartel con grupos del momento como Los Rebeldes, Loquillo, Sprays o C-Pillos, que casi siempre acaban en fiestas.
Ese año graban unas maquetas y las pasean por la mayoría de emisoras de radio de la zona. Las actuaciones se suceden y tienen su apogeo cuando telonean a Ian Dury en la Festa de Treball en Montjuic en el mes de septiembre.
Siguen tocando por Barcelona aunque sin disco, siendo considerados uno de los mejores exponentes de la que se llamó 'nueva ola' catalana. Mientras, el movimiento mod va en aumento, con la aparición de nuevas formaciones como Brighton64 con los que actúan más de una ocasión. Flirtean con discográficas sin resultados, en el 82 deciden grabar el single ‘Chica del metro’, estrenando el sello Flor y Nata Records, pionero en la escena independiente catalana. El diseño de la portada lo realiza Manolo García, que en ese momento estaba en Los Rápidos. El disco aparece en marzo y rápidamente agota su tirada inicial, colocándose en la 2ª posición del ranking ‘Los 33 de Radio3’ del programa ‘Esto no es Hawai’ de Jesús Ordovás, líder de la audiencia independiente nacional.
En mayo viajan a Madrid para grabar uno de los primeros ‘video-clips’ de la época para un especial del programa ‘Pista Libre’ de TVE. De este programa se extrajo el LP ‘Locos por la Música‘. Aprovechan este viaje para realizar visitas a los programas de radio de Ordovás, Juan de Pablos, ...
En julio de ese mismo año y sin tiempo para más, el grupo se despide en el macrofestival Badarock de Badalona para cumplir con el entonces obligatorio servicio militar. Aún consiguen reunirse en diciembre en un corto permiso y graban lo que será su último documento sonoro: una maqueta de 4 temas producida en poco tiempo y con escasos medios y en la que muestran un sonido más agresivo. En esos días realizan una última actuación en la sala Metro de Barcelona.
A la vuelta de la ‘mili’ las cosas han cambiado, las nuevas influencias musicales de sus miembros los hace encerrar en el local de ensayo. De esta manera comienzan a experimentar nuevos caminos y deciden dar por finalizada la etapa de Telegrama.

Que Risa
Telegrama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
“no puede ser esto que esta pasando.
no empiezo nisiquiera a imaginarlo..
es que me han dicho que te vieron otra vez..por ahi
y como siempre estabas de lo mas (juguetona)
yo no te quiero ..faltar..al respecto..
y me parecce que tal vez puede ser...
que estas desmantelada,
no acepta que le digan nada
que su instinto es demoledor...
que risa que me da que soy y que machista
tu no tienes nada que me puedas dar.

In the song "Que Risa" by Telegrama, the lyrics tell a story of disbelief and frustration in a relationship. The singer starts off by expressing their astonishment at what is happening, unable to even begin to imagine it. They have heard rumors that their partner has been seen with someone else, which only adds to their confusion and disbelief.
The lyrics suggest that the partner has a history of being playful and flirtatious, which adds to the singer's frustration. They do not want to disrespect them, but at the same time, they cannot help but wonder if the rumors are true. It seems that the partner's behavior may have led to this situation, as they are described as being "desmantelada," meaning they may have become reckless or careless.
The singer then sarcastically expresses amusement at the situation, saying "Que risa que me da," meaning "How funny it is to me." They acknowledge their own faults, calling themselves "machista," which translates to being sexist or chauvinistic. However, they also assert that their partner has nothing to offer them.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of frustration, confusion, and even a hint of resentment in a relationship where trust has been broken. The singer grapples with their own feelings while questioning the actions of their partner, highlighting the complexities and emotions that can arise in relationships.
