The song "Con Una Pinta Así" by Julio Iglesias tells the story of a man defending himself against the negative judgement of his mother-in-law. The singer addresses the mother-in-law directly and tells her that he doesn't understand why she thinks so poorly of him. He explains that he and her daughter got married because they were in love, but the mother-in-law seems to have had high expectations and wanted her daughter to marry someone from a better social status. The man is hurt by the mother-in-law's accusations that he is a freeloader and a parasite, and he tries to convince her that he is not like that at all. He tells her that she has judged him unfairly and that he has done nothing wrong. Despite all of this, he remains respectful towards the mother-in-law and acknowledges that she might have had different expectations for her daughter's future. In the end, the song expresses the irony of the situation: the mother-in-law wanted her daughter to marry someone who was wealthy and successful, but instead ended up with a son-in-law who is a dreamer and an adventurer with an unconventional appearance ("con una pinta así"). The singer suggests that the mother-in-law should have been more open-minded and accepting of her daughter's choice, and regrets that he has not been able to meet her expectations.
