Jo vull ser rei - Els Pets

By popular demand, more stuff by The Farts (Els Pets). This 1994 track is called "I want to be the King". If you know a little about Spanish and Catalan history, it should come as no surprise to find that most Catalans are not fans of the present Spanish monarchy - put back into power by Franco as his successor. Back when this song was written it was still difficult, a virtual taboo, to criticise or laugh at the royal family, but the young Els Pets were adventurous and risk-takers.
Basically the lyrics explain how nice it must be to be King, skiing, speed boats, motorbikes - and your bodyguard even starts it up for you... If we are all equal before the law, why can't I have a go at being King?

Jo Vull Ser Rei - Els Pets

Un altre grup d’aquí que sempre m’han agradat son Els Pets.
Avui la cançó Jo Vull Ser Rei. És del LP Brut Natural de l’any 1994. No he trobat cap videoclip “oficial” però si aquest foto-muntatge que algú s'ha dedicat a preparar. De totes formes el bo d’aquesta cançó és la lletra, una autentica joia!
