	Cock-a-doodle-diablo! Sometimes you hear a song and it blows you away -- this probably isn't one of those times. A chord progression with a one-take lead, topped off with some pitch-shifted, layered, slightly off-key vocals.

	Story Behind the Song In Montgomery, there's a tire shop that, in a fit of misguided marketing, stuck a large fake rooster on its roof. Late one night we drove by -- it's eyes aglow -- and wondered what he might do if a) he were alive and b) no one was looking. Bottom line: We're strange. Written in an hour or two, recorded in a few takes. You'll never be able to tell, though -- WORD! Lyrics Standing white against the night Red eyes all aglow Big yellow feet, not too discreet El habla espanol He walks and stalks our city sidewalks Looking for souls to plunder If you dare resist his stare He'll rip your heart asunder CHORUS: He's the Puerto Rican Devil Rooster And he will soon be here He's the Puerto Rican Devil Rooster He's the poultry we all fear Watch your back 'cause he'll attack You'll never hear him coming Don't you bother with no holy water At sunset you'd better start running You must strive, try to survive Until you see daybreak He will flee, he'll try to leave 'Cause he has farmers to wake CHORUS
