Spanish hair metal from Central and South America. Guest co-hosted by Pedro, host of Stereo Gol, on our sister station WRLD. Pedro is bilingual, so that helped out because all the songs were in Spanish, so only Pedro knew what the songs lyrics were. Shock and Chesty just made up lyrics in their heads. The two bands we played were Rata Blanca (White Rat) from Argentina and La Cuca (Cock Roach) from Mexico. We all had fun.

Playlist:

1. Rata Blanca - Basura (Garbage)
2. La Cuca - Insecticida Al Suicida (Bug Killer Suicide)
3. Rata Blanca - Asesinos (Assassins)
4. La Cuca - Todo Con Exeso (Everything In Excess)
5. Rata Blanca - Cuatro Poder (Fourth Power)
6. La Cuca - Balada (Ballad) [Shock's Note: we had to play a power ballad]
7. Rata Blanca - Lejos De Casa (Far From Home)
8. La Cuca - Son Del Dolor (The Pain Song)
9. Rata Blanca - Agord, La Bruja (Agord, The Witch)
10. La Cuca - Alcohol y Rocanrol (Alcohol & Rock N' Roll)
