Whoa, SALSA?!

A veherry unexpected experiment for Chicago, but a fantastic one at that. This is undoubtedly one of the best songs off of the seventh album.

That counts as lyrics? In any case, it always sounded more like "get the chainsaw!" to me. They don't even sing anything when performing it live today.

“Que pe chesa” is similar to “Que péchesa” a Portuguese phrase which means (per Google translate) “what a mess.”

The group had recently hired percussionist Laudir de Oliveira, whose playing was prominently featured in the track and whose first language was Portuguese.

The published music does not contain lyrics, and it’s possible the vocal was an inside joke from the band, known for its attitude of perfectionism toward its music.
