Qué Onda Güero

I was reading some posts in the Introduction Forum and there was a bit of discussion about "qué onda" and it reminded me of one of my favorite songs.

Estaba leyendo algunos "posts" en el Foro de Presentación y había una discusión de la frase "qué onda" y me recordó de una de mis canciones favoritos.

@irmamar: ¡Qué onda! es una forma coloquial de saludo en México, como decir qué hay o qué tal.

Güero(a) se refiere normalmente una persona rubia.


Interesting song, Tacuba... Beck has always made me curious about his mixing English and Spanish. "Soooooooy un perdedooooooor, I'm a loser, babyyyyy, so why don't you kill meeeeee?" I love that verse.

Los dos son - ¿come se dice? - en idioma jergal.

"¿Qué onda?" - "¿Qué pasa?" "¿Qué pasó?" "¿Qué hubo?"

"Güero/a" - "Rubio/a", pero una amiga mexicana me llama "güero" y no tengo pelo rubio. Supongo que es porque soy un gringo.

Ay diós. Esa canción, pues, mi esposa me la canta cuando he cometido una tontera. La escucho casi cada dia:>))

Ha! When I play Counter-Strike (An online shooter) my character's name is Vegetable Man, which I took from that song. Beck is an amazing artist.
