Song Info - Xeneizes

Misc. Information
The first version of Xeneizes was on the Xeneizes album. The lyrics was changed somewhat before it ended up on Jinx. The biggest change was that Hössi's second part was changed totally. The word "Xeneizes" is the name of the football fans following the Argentinian team Boca Juniors. The most famous player that has played in Boca Juniors is Diego Armando Maradona, who by the way is mentioned in the thank you section in Xeneizes along with Boca Juniors. Sölvi travelled in South America before making the Xeneizes album and it influenced him in many ways, and traces could be heard on Xeneizes.
