Okay, I was searching 'an alligator bit my butt' in spanish, 'el caiman poco mi culo'.

And this tribute song to the grifter is the third result. Any idea why?

"Poco" is "bit" as in "a small thing," "a little bit."

The intransitive for "to bite" is "mordedura," but I can't seem to come up with a page that'll give me the conjugations.

My wife, who was once fluent in Spanish looked at "el caiman poco mi culo" and said "what?" So we poked around a bit. Google translate came up with "un caiman me ha mordido el culo" for "an alligator has bitten my ass." (Tho GT seems to prefer "cocodrilo" to "caiman.")


Some things don't translate as we'd like Wink

The person who uploaded the video didn't include any keywords, so youtube had to use video-analysis algorithms to determine what the video was about. Video-analysis algorithms consistently identify HRC as either a snake, or an alligator, so there you go.

A song about a prehistoric reptilian killing machine seems somehow fitting.

Or is he trying to tell us that

What you're looking for isn't "poco" but "pico" with an accent over the "o". Generally it means a bird poked or bit at something with its beak (pico = beak), but it tends to get used for "stung", "teased", "nipped", or, as in this case, as a lighthearted way of saying "an alligator ripped three kilos of meat out of my posterior with those big, nasty teeth it had".

Now, how a search online led you to the ballad of Hillary's hubris? I have no idea. None of the lyrics suggest "caiman", "culo", "poco" or "pico". Maybe Skynet's developed a sense of humor about the 2016 election?
