Los Nikis :

Los Nikis ("The polo shirts") were a Spanish pop-punk group of the 1980s
that were associated with la movida. They were nicknamed "The Ramones from
Algete" with songs that feature very simple music and humorous lyrics and
subject matter. Some of the more famous song titles, for example, are: Mi
chica se ha ido a Katmandu ("My girl left to Kathmandu"), Navidades en
Siberia, Olaf el Vikingo and Medicina nuclear.
Their cover of Born to Be Alive consisted of just repeating "Me voy a
Benidorm" ("I go to Benidorm!").They also covered Rhythm of the Rain
(originally by The Cascades) as "No vuelvo a ir a Benidorm" ("I won't go to
Benidorm again") with lyrics criticizing mass tourism in this Spanish
coastal city.The local administration declared them persona non grata.
