Annotation
Punk Rock group formed in December 1981 in Vigo, Galicia, Spain. Its original line-up included: Julián Hernández (vocals, drums, clarinet), Miguel Costas (vocals, guitar, 1981-94), Alberto Torrado (bass, keyboards, guitar, 1981-87), and Germán Coppini (vocals, 1981-83). On this album they released the song "Fuera las manos chinas del Vietnam socialista" ("Out Chinese Hands of the Socialist Vietnam") (DRO # DRO-014), in which the narrator said that "we work for the Vietcong on the outskirts of Saigon" - the Vietcong (or VC), is the National Liberation Front (NFL), the political and military resistance to the US and South Vietnamese government from within South Vietnam. It noted Chinese influence in the country: "read Mao-ze-dong...yes open red book for me" - a reference to Mao Zedong, the leader of the People's Republic of China (1949-1976). The song presented anti-Chinese sentiment and interference from the perspective of the Vietnamese.

Lyrics
English: Gripping our rifle / We'll throw out the vile Chinese / Firing our cannon / We'll kill the invader / Oh, little China girl, tell me yes / Oh, little China girl, give me your love / Chinese hands off socialist Vietnam / We work for the Vietcong / On the outskirts of Saigon / They come from the Me-Kong / They read Mao-ze-dong too / Oh, little China girl, tell me yes / Open the red book for me / Chinese hands off socialist Vietnam / Their tanks bring radio-cassettes / And they bring the majorettes along / The peppermint sticks in our throats / We'll invoke Ho-Chi-Min / Oh, little China girl, wait for me / Let's go together, the two of us, for tea __________ Spanish: Empuñando nuestro fusil / Echaremos al chino vil / Disparando nuestro cañón / Mataremos al invasor / Ay, chinita, dime que sí / Ay, chinita , dame tu amor / Fuera las manos chinas del Vietnam socialista / Trabajamos para el Vietcong / En las afueras de Saigón / Ellos vienen desde el Me-Kong / También leen a Mao-ze-dong / Ay, chinita, dime que sí / Abre el libro rojo para mí / Fuera las manos chinas del Vietnam socialista / Sus tanques traen radiocassette / Y se traen a las marjorettes / Se nos atraganta el pippermint / Invocaremos a Ho-Chi-Min / Ay, chinita, espérame / Vamos los dos juntos a tomar el té
