Songinfo

"Tequila" is a 1958 Latin-flavored rock and roll instrumental written by Daniel Flores and recorded by the Champs. "Tequila" became a #1 hit on both the pop and R&B charts at the time of its release and continues to be strongly referenced in pop culture to this day. It is based on a Cuban mambo beat. The word "Tequila" is spoken three times throughout the tune. The song served as the B-side for "Train to Nowhere".
