See the SAICOMANIA trailer:

And DEMOLICION:

(It is the weekend, so we are singing.)

Axé.

The kids in my school used to play stuff like this in the 50’s. They would just start hammering away and it came out sounding great.

Aha – so all the more radical rock music is unknown and secret. Of course this would be the case. I LOVE this song DEMOLICION, it is funny. And I’ve just realized, the documentary has got to be SAICOMANIA itself. It has a website. http://www.saicomania.com/

So we must sing: DEMOLER, DEMOLER, DEMOLER, DEMOLER. YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH.
