Mongonucleosis Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Dr.Spacebar 

Cover art for Mongonucleosis lyrics by Chicago

“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.
