Fernet Tastes Good (song)

## *"Fernet Tastes Good"*

***"Fernet Tastes Good"*** is the first song from the first studio album *We Are Family* from 2012 by the Argentine electropop band Los Coming Soon (also abbreviated "LCS"), one of the first Argentinean bands and modern news in dedicating itself to a bilingual retro musical genre style. This is the band's first single, released on August 20, 2011, by LCS independently attached to their first music video which was directed by Axel Byrfors and originally intended for the 2012 *We Are Family* album. This is one of the best songs in the band's repertoire and their premature hit from their debut which had a good rotation, so much so that it was ranked *No.33* on Argentina Top 40 Songs, on February 6, 2012. Later in 2017, LCS released their fourth studio album *We Are LCS* with 4 new songs and reversions of their classics that reflect the 7 years of the band, and among those classics takes place "Fernet Tastes Good" as track number 3.

What started as a joke became a song, too, the song is an affirmation that the band is from Buenos Aires despite the fact that their lyrics and singing are in English; according to Hirsch of LCS. Since the song also presents a crossing of cultures from bilingualism.
