I decided to look up this song because my mom would sing this song all the time. Also when we would visit my family in Cuernavaca and have music playing and dancing, this was a very common song played, (mostly badly sang by the family lol) and after hearing the meaning of it in class, I wondered why my mother would say it so easily around children saying that this cockroach ha no weed to smoke (very strike when it comes to these kinda things). I decided to do some research about the evolution of the song. I could not really find to much except on wikipedia (so not so reliable), but it should different versions of the song, which I found interesting. So I called mom, and asked what were the lyrics of La cucharacha, and after listening to my mother singing and have my eardrums nearly explode, (just kidding! I love my mom!!!) I noticed that the last part where it talks about him not having any marijuana to smoke, she replaced it with no feet to walk on. I thought this was interesting an definitely an example of how there is an evolution of song lyrics/revisions.
