You're right. The original lyrics are hilarious! I've heard another soft-version of this song in the 'verbenas' (verbena ≈ party). That soft-version hasn't Zapatist propaganda and has changed some verses like 'marihuana que fumar' → 'una patita de atrás' (!)
I just want to say, though I've heard the tune for years I never knew the lyrics. This is one bizarre, hilarious song, and the fact that Verse 6 mentions Albuquerque makes it even better. Granted, my Spanish is muy terrible but I liked the parts I could figure out.
Did you know that if you're playing Cranium and you have to hum the tune of Love Shack, that if someone guesses this song, it is nigh impossible to hum anything else?
