Picapica refers to a classic novelty prank: itching powder, a substance that causes intense itching when it touches the skin. It's a very specific and playful word rarely found in everyday vocabulary, let alone in songs.
In this vengeful 80s hit, Hombres G uses the word in the darkly comedic threat "Voy a llenarle el cuello de polvos picapica" (I'm going to fill his neck with itching powder). The repetition of this quirky, child-like word in a rock song about heartbreak and revenge makes it incredibly memorable and shows a unique, humorous take on jealousy.
“Devuélveme A Mi Chica” is a cheeky 80s pop-rock anthem where Hombres G turn teenage heartbreak into a comic strip. The singer is devastated because his girlfriend has ditched him for a preppy rich kid who drives a white Ford Fiesta and wears a canary-yellow sweater. Instead of wallowing quietly, our narrator plots over-the-top revenge: itching powder down the rival’s collar, burning his sweaters, even threatening the poor car. The catchy chorus—“Sufre, mamón, devuélveme a mi chica”—is basically a playful shout of “Suffer, jerk, give me back my girl!”
Beneath the humor, the song paints a vivid picture of youthful jealousy, wounded pride, and the melodrama of first love. Everything is exaggerated, explosive, and a little bit ridiculous—exactly how heartbreak can feel when you are young. Listeners can dance, laugh, and maybe remember their own bittersweet teenage battles while picking up spirited Spanish slang along the way.
