32 - A la chica del Pingüino le gustan los malotes

Las letras de la formación madrileña Un pingüino en mi ascensor (A Penguin in my Lift)  exploran temas y elementos de la vida cotidiana con un tono satírico, mordaz y (como sugiere el nombre de la banda) a menudo con un marcado punto surrealista.

Nuestra canción para este episodio es Los malos te gustan más (You Like the Baddies Better). En ella, el cantante se lamenta de que su chica siempre le deja por “malotes” – o sea, chicos malos o “canallitas”: scoundrels, rascals, louts. Very bad men indeed.

El cantante-narrador hábilmente establece un paralelo entre los “malos” que le gustan a su chica y una serie de villanos famosos de la historia, la literatura, la televisión y el cine. Así, por la canción desfilan "baddies" antológicos como Darth Vader, Plancton, John Silver el Largo, Magneto, Shere Khan, Caifás y un cierto dictador austriaco.

Watch out for some idiomatic expressions in the song’s lyric - such as dar plantón or saber a ciencia cierta - and some reflexive and phrasal verbs, like esforzarse en or convertir en. Also, the title and chorus provide a useful illustration of that simple yet most grammatically awkward of verbs: gustar.
