El Tatuaje

Mojinos Escozios' song "El Tatuaje" is a humorous narrative that captures the essence of friendship, adventure, and cultural references. The song begins with a vivid description of a hot day in Seville in 1990, where the protagonist and his friend Ugenio "El Loko" are enjoying beers. The heat prompts Ugenio to remove his shirt, revealing a body covered in tattoos, which the protagonist humorously compares to a comic book. This sets the stage for a tale filled with exaggerated anecdotes and cultural humor.

The narrative then shifts to Ugenio's journey to Barcelona to get his tattoos. The trip is depicted as a comically arduous adventure, involving a long bus ride with an unfriendly driver and a rainy arrival in Barcelona. The protagonist's exaggerated descriptions of the city's downpour and the deserted streets add to the humor, painting a picture of a city turned into a swamp. This part of the song highlights the lengths to which Ugenio went to get his tattoos, emphasizing his dedication and the absurdity of the situation.

The song's chorus lists the various tattoos Ugenio plans to get, each one more outlandish than the last. From "AMOR DE MADRE" within a heart to the face of the famous flamenco singer Camarón, the tattoos reflect a mix of personal sentiments and cultural icons. The mention of Judas Priest's eagle and a skull under the navel adds a touch of rock and roll rebellion. Through its humorous storytelling and cultural references, "El Tatuaje" celebrates the quirks of friendship and the lengths people go to express themselves through body art.
