It was a long minute intro. But I love Ian Anderson. He has such a distinct and interesting vocal style. It's like listening to a bar room crooner in the 1700's... Once the vocals kicked in I was so down with this.

Don't know if you saw the post, I was playing a video game set in S. America and this was on one of the radio stations in the game. I was positive this was Tull. Positive. 100% Positive. So sure I wasn't taken aback by the vocals in Spanish.... Great fucking tune.
