Pablo López's crazy night in 'El Hormiguero': from dreaming about cardboard Freddie Mercury to singing to Jorge Salvador

Pablo López is, today, one of the most beloved artists on the Spanish music scene. His songs also take up hours and hours of television every day, whether in programs or advertisements. Look at how they dance has been one of the anthems of First Dates on Cuatro for several months, while their version of Salta de Tequila has become the flagship song of Santander SMusic's advertising campaigns.

However, tonight at El Hormiguero he has added another anthem to his repertoire, also doing it in the most surreal way possible. The singer from Malaga appeared on Pablo Motos' program to talk about his new tour, the development of his next album and other interesting matters. Even so, the one that stood out the most throughout the evening were the eccentric dreams that he has had in recent years.

All of this comes from his last visit, when he explained to the Requena presenter that he had dreamed of Luis Enrique, current coach of Paris Saint-Germain, during his time in the Spanish Soccer Team. According to his own words, he had called him up to participate in the World Cup, a situation that has now been repeated with the Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti. Pablo claimed to feel strange seeing himself on the bench, not knowing what to do.

Likewise, the conversation has led to two even stranger dreams: one with a cardboard Freddie Mercury and another with Jorge Salvador himself, producer of the program. In the first, the singer claimed that the Queen leader was preparing macaroni with his grandmother, while he was watching him and even warned him after committing several pranks. He claimed that it was like a cardboard cutout, but that he was present in the room.

Likewise, the dreams with Jorge Salvador were various and equally crazy in nature. Several times before visiting the set of El Hormiguero, López was able to see Salvador in different facets in his dreams. On some occasions it was a recreation of the meetings prior to the live broadcast, where he explained how the broadcast would work. In others, however, he was a coach for La Voz - a program where he collaborates - and he imagined him behind the chairs.

The segment ended in the most delirious way possible, referring to the song that one of Salvador's close friends, Leonardo Dantés, dedicated to him and which became one of the most recurring themes of the program. López, instigated by Pablo Motos, ended up playing live with the guitar signed by Alejandro Sanz, making an improvised version of the original song.
