PAPA TOPO "Tengo Estigmas En Las Manos [Señor]" Digital Single

While we’re still waiting for new music to come in from PAPA TOPO (thank the Lord, we won’t have to wait much longer), we are bringing you something very special from a parallel dystopian reality. In this reality, the extreme right won the recent general elections in Spain and PAPA TOPO were forced to abandon their queer leftist antics and turn into “LOS PAPA MOVILS”, a catholic pop band that sings about the lord’s miracles in religious macro-festivals. The song that PAPA TOPO’s döpplegangers have done is a version of “Sangre En Los Zapatos (Mi Amor)” made especially for the TV series directed by Los Javis "La Mesías", in a religious tone. The result is so much fun and so incredible: it praises the mystic phenomenon of stigmata and all those saints that have seen their flesh opened with wounds on the cross. The lyrics take a radical turn, leaving the production work of Guille Milkyway (LA CASA AZUL) intact, like in the original. Lines like “La gente admira las llagas que el Señor me ha dado / Una indeleble señal de unión con el amado / Dios me ha marcado como a una oveja del rebaño / Soy viva imagen de Cristo Rey crucificado” (People admire the sores the Lord gave me / An indelible sign of union with the beloved / God has marked me like a sheep in the flock / I am the spitting image of Jesus on the cross) feed into the legend that Adrià Arbona’s career has been built to the beat of unusual events, bizarreness, Z series and musical fantasy. All of this is set to a rhythm of disco, reminiscent of bands like ALASKA Y DINARAMA, SCISSOR SISTERS and CHIC. And of course, with blood in their shoes, like they sing in the original version of the song.
