El Abuelo Frederick

Los Delinqüentes' song 'El Abuelo Frederick' paints a vivid and surreal picture of a peculiar grandfather named Frederick. With his white beard and six fingers on each hand, Frederick is a character straight out of a fantastical tale. He lives in a mansion with a garden and a ranch full of pigs, accompanied by his dog, Takasmín. The song's lyrics are filled with whimsical and bizarre imagery, such as an insomniac spider and a parrot vomiting frogs, which contribute to the eccentric atmosphere of Frederick's world.

The chorus reveals Frederick's daily routine of planting parsley under his bed and searching for 'takacninas' in the deepest walls of the mines. This routine adds to the mystical and almost magical aura surrounding him. The song also describes a chaotic scene in Frederick's garden, where a war breaks out between tomatoes and turnips, and watermelons release juice while asparagus shoots tomato seeds. This personification of vegetables and the ensuing 'bombardment' in the garden highlight the song's playful and imaginative nature.

Frederick's character is further developed through his interactions with the garden and the animals. The pigs lose respect for him, and he contemplates opening a shop to sell 'takacninas.' Despite his grand plans and declarations of waging war and taking action, the song humorously concludes that Frederick ultimately does nothing. This ending underscores the whimsical and lighthearted tone of the song, portraying Frederick as a lovable yet idle dreamer in his fantastical world.
