A song with 37 repetitions of "más que"

The winner of the Latin Grammy for Mejor Nuevo Artista this year, and nominated in a similar category for Premio Lo Nuestro 2010, is a blond, dimpled native of D.F. named Alexander Acha. One of his most popular tunes is the song "Te Amo." I had to tell my students to give him a chance through the Josh Groban/Andrea Bocelli-sounding verse (which I love) and get to the chorus, and I actually had several of them vote for him for Premio Lo Nuestro. The most important feature of the song is that I count 37 repetitions of "más que" or "más aun que". Fabulous.
