Our Christmas holidays are one of the longest in the world (I'm not sure this is a positive thing, though), and our lottery is the most generous. A lot of money in the draw, but we (Spaniards) know that the best thing about this Christmas lottery is that the whole amount is divided in such a way that we all have a chance to win something (and almost no chance of getting rich).
In the following site, Lottery Sindicate World, the Spanish El Gordo (The fat one) is presented as the biggest prize pot lottery, but do they know what we know? Click on the picture and check:
Along with the lottery goes the "official" advertising for it. This time, the bald man and the music we got familiar with in the last few years are gone. But there is something really interesting about the new chosen tune. It is a song written and sung by Lionel Neykov, a young New Yorker who has made himself known to the world using the internet. Having been chosen for the ad, we may say he got his share of "El Gordo" this year. I hope you get yours too.
This is the song, where you can - by the way- practise "comparatives" in English:
Freeze My Senses
Your eyes
Have more power
Than vampires
You bit my mouth
And then left me
On the floor shivering
And aching for more
Your smile is more
Dangerous
Than reptiles
You shot your poison
In my skin
And now
I can't get you
Out of my mind
Chorus:
Help me babe
I got a hole
In my heart
My head is spinning
I feel so high
Release me darling
From this pain
In my side
And please
Freeze my senses
With your kiss
Your lips
More addictive
Than sugar sticks
Make me dizzy
And so light
I could fly
I think my brain
Has melted down
(Chorus)
So there
Now that you know
That I care for you
Yeah
Be fair
Cos I'm a fool
In despair
And you
Got your hands
Round my neck
(Chorus 2x)
