Re imaginatively alleged Iberian links with the Celtic fringe (should that be mullet?), and perhaps also re obsessive Iberian questioning regarding my (afaik non-existent) sense of nationality, here’s Sophie Tucker in “There’s Something Spanish In My Eyes” (1928):
There’s something Spanish in my eyes
My mother is Jewish my father is Irish
Which proves that I’m Spanish
And I love you!
There’s something Spanish in my eyes
You know my pashes for men with moustaches
How Sophie just crashes
When she loves you!
etc etc
(Revolting images of someone with something really Spanish in his eye here.)
