Slowpoke’s Most Random T.V. Appearance

Posted on August 26, 2013 by Slowpoke Rodriguez Posted in Slowpoke Rodriguez Videos and Lyrics .

Slowpoke appears in the Robot Chicken episode “Werewolf VS Unicorn.” In Part 2 of the video, Arnold Schwarzenegger goes on a tirade about illegal immigrants and during the segment, Slowpoke Rodriguez appears on his podium with a glass of water, only to be criticized for taking an hour to get it. Slowpoke is dragged away, all the while protesting that he will be executed in his home country if deported from the U.S.

Slowpoke Rodriguez Sings La Cucaracha (Lyrics and Video)

Posted on August 9, 2008 by Slowpoke Rodriguez Posted in Slowpoke Rodriguez Videos and Lyrics .

For those of us that grew up with Speedy Gonzalez and remember his cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez, it is somewhat astounding to look back and realize that Slowpoke was actually singing a song about marijuana. What is even more strange, is that there were several “kid friendly” versions of the song that were sung where the last line was replaced with something more benign, but for some reason, the makers of this cartoon allowed Slowpoke Rodriguez to sing the unmistakable reference to weed in a cartoon. For kids. Riiiiiiiight.
See for yourself in the “Sowpoke Rodriguez – Mexican Boarders” episode.

Spanish

La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar.

(In Spanish, as in English “Roach” or “Cockroach” is slang for a marijuana cigarette stub.)

English

The cockroach, the cockroach
Can’t walk anymore
Because it doesn’t have, because it’s lacking
Marijuana to smoke

To really drive the point home, Slowpoke Rodriguez exhibits all the critical sterotypes of your typical stoner – slow-moving, always hungry, droopy eyes and slurred speech.
