Interestingly this song contains one of the most misquoted lyrics. In the precious, people believe they sing "Marconi plays the mambo" referring to the style of Cuban music. In fact the lyrics is "Marconi plays the mamba", as in the radio is the snake 🐍. Further commenting on the corporatisation of music.
