Pinocho (Destripando La Historia)

The song "Pinocho (Destripando La Historia)" by Pascu y Rodri is a humorous and satirical retelling of the classic tale of Pinocchio. The artists, known for their comedic and musical interpretations of historical and fictional stories, present a version of Pinocchio that highlights the character's flaws and misadventures in a more cynical light than the traditional story. The lyrics are delivered in a mix of Spanish and Italian, adding to the comedic effect and emphasizing the story's Italian origins.

The song begins with a comical introduction, setting the tone for a playful and irreverent take on the story. It then recounts the creation of Pinocchio by Geppetto and the puppet's immediate disobedience and violence, such as kicking Geppetto and killing the talking cricket, which is a stark contrast to the innocent and naive Pinocchio often depicted in children's adaptations. The song continues to describe Pinocchio's further misdeeds, including lying, getting involved with unsavory characters like a fox and a cat, and ultimately facing dire consequences for his actions.

Pascu y Rodri's interpretation serves as a critique of Pinocchio's character, painting him as a 'disgrace to humanity' and a 'real criminal,' as mentioned in the lyrics. This version of the story does not shy away from the darker elements, such as Pinocchio's near-death experiences and his continuous poor decision-making. The song also touches on themes of redemption and the consequences of one's actions, as Pinocchio eventually tries to turn his life around, highlighting the moral lessons embedded in the original tale.
