Gilgamesh by Pascu y Rodri is a lightning-fast, tongue-in-cheek retelling of the world’s oldest epic. The lyrics whisk us to ancient Sumer where the super-buff, two-meter-tall King Gilgamesh builds cities in a month, bullies his people and generally acts like a rock-star tyrant. Fed up, the gods create Enkidu, a horned wildman who goes from sworn enemy to bromantic BFF after an epic fist-fight. Together they slay monsters, reject the love of the fiery goddess Ishtar and even defeat a divine bull. Yet their swagger has a price: the gods strike Enkidu down, plunging Gilgamesh into a frantic, almost slapstick quest for immortality that ends in failure and the sobering realization that no one can outrun death.
Packed with modern slang, veggie jokes and even a taco cameo, the song turns a 4,000-year-old story into a comedic music video that still preserves its timeless themes. Behind the cartoonish battles and meme-worthy lines lie messages about friendship, humility and the universal human fear of mortality—proof that, whether in clay tablets or catchy choruses, some stories never get old.
