Los Nikis


Los Nikis is a Spanish pop-punk group emerged from the 1980s associated to la Movida. They've been nicknamed "The Ramones from Algete" with songs that feature very simple music and humourous lyrics and subject matter. Some of their more famous songs are: El Imperio contraataca, Mi chica se ha ido a Katmandú, Navidades en Siberia, Olaf el Vikingo and Medicina nuclear.
Their cover of Born to be alive consisted of just repeating Me voy a Benidorm. They also covered Rhythm of the rain, originally by The Cascades, as No vuelvo a ir a Benidorm with lyrics criticizing mass tourism in the Spanish coastal city. Due to this, the local administration declared them personae non gratae.
