Otro Lío De Melendi

In 'Otro Lío De Melendi,' the Spanish artist Melendi offers a satirical and self-aware commentary on how the media sensationalizes his life. The song opens with the artist waking up to find his face plastered across newspapers, embroiled in yet another scandal. This time, he's accused of confronting an armed gang, a claim he humorously dismisses by noting that despite numerous allegations, he's never been linked to organized crime. This sets the tone for the song, which is a critique of how the media often distorts reality for the sake of a good story.

Melendi goes on to thank a journalist for their 'concern,' sarcastically pointing out that he had previously reported someone on Facebook claiming authorship of his songs. He then mocks the media's tendency to connect unrelated events to create sensational headlines. The artist's frustration is palpable as he highlights the absurdity of these connections, suggesting that any journalist who doesn't engage in such practices would be considered 'clean wheat,' a Spanish idiom for being honest and straightforward.

The song takes a humorous turn as Melendi lists his 'crimes' and 'defects,' from returning unrewound movies to Blockbuster to spitting at pigeons and breaking windows as a child. He even includes a cheeky nod to the Spanish rock band Extremoduro, ending his list with a crude farewell. Through this playful self-deprecation, Melendi underscores the ridiculousness of the media's portrayal of him, turning the tables on his critics by providing them with more 'material' to sensationalize. Ultimately, 'Otro Lío De Melendi' is a clever and biting critique of media sensationalism, wrapped in the artist's signature humor and wit.
