"La Cucaracha" ("The Cockroach") is a traditional Spanish language folk song of the genre known as a corrido, that became popular in Mexico during the Mexican revolution. One explanation of its origin as a traditional Mexican song claims that this song references car of the famed revolutionary general Pancho Villa, which frequently broke down and earned the nickname la cucaracha from Villa's troops.
