Con Todo Respeto is a 2004 cover album by the Mexican band Molotov. Some of them from Latin music, some from English-language rock and pop, but what Molotov does to them is not. The Beastie Boys' "Girls," Falco's "Rock Me, Amadeus," and the Misfits' "I Turned Into a Martian" successfully receive rock en espa?ol makeovers, as does Lipps, Inc.'s 1981 disco/dance-pop hit "Designer Music." This album's biggest surprise, however, is a Spanish-language update of Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." Instead of Scott-Heron's reference to "hog maw confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary," Molotov mentions Barrio Tepito ? an ultra-poor and notoriously dangerous area of Mexico City ? and instead of calling for African-Americans to fight for a brighter future, Molotov declares that "los mexicanos estaran en la calle buscando mejor manana" Con Todo Respeto isn't Molotov's most essential release, but it is still an excellent, highly rewarding part of their catalog.
