SPAIN – Blas Canto – Voy A Quedarme
I have two confessions to make, loyal consumer of my wordstuff products!
1) When I sat down to write this, I’d completely forgotten the title of the Spanish entry.
b) Furthermore, when I sat down to write this, I’d completely forgotten the existence of Actual Spain and was mentally preparing myself to let loose on Sweden.

Blas himself is seen here wearing, umm, a shirt and some trousers, and has some… hair, which is very much an appropriate styling decision. And the song definitely… fits the, umm, personality of… *glances down at notes*… Blas.
*expert panellist panic intensifies*

*heads directly to the bar, hyperventilating, for a stiff Fanta*
