Meaning of the song
Due to the meaning of its title and its lighthearted melody, Vamos a la playa has become a summer and holiday anthem in many countries. However, the song deals with the explosion of a nuclear bomb in the ocean. The people in the song all wear "a sombrero" to prevent the "radioactive wind" from "messing up their hair". The singer states that finally "the sea is clean," and instead of fish there is now "fluorescent water".[4]
