The Spanish singer and humorist Pablo Carbonell with Many Moure and Guillermo Piccolini formed this group in 1984.

This song was a barbed commentary written from the viewpoint of a young man named Javier accused of fathering a child.

In 1992, they released a greatest hits compilation, Cantan en Español, produced by Piccollini.

It included Los Toreros Muertos, Mi Agüita Amarilla, Yo no me llamo Javier, Soy un Animal, and 1789.

Along with Hombres G, Los Rebeldes, and Mecano, Los Toreros Muertos achieved notable cross-over airplay onto the US military radio stations in Rota (see Naval Station Rota, Spain), Torrejon (now Madrid-Torrejón Airport), and Zaragoza (now Zaragoza Airport) that were part of the AFRTS in Europe in the mid-1980s.
