I would have liked this song better if he had pronounced "Conquistador" properly. Con-kwis-ta-dor just doesn't cut it. Aside from that it's a kick-ass tune, and the version with the symphony orchestra is simply brilliant. "Whiter Shade of Pale" pales in comparison.
According to Joel Whitburn, the name means "beyond these things."
