“Down in Mexico” — The Coasters

You Should Drink: Dirty Habenero Martini.

Relevant Lyrics:
Down in Mexicali
There’s a crazy little place that I know
Where the drinks are hotter, than the chili sauce
And the boss is a cat named Joe
He wears a red bandana
Plays the blues piano
In a honkey-tonk down in Mexico
…
All of a sudden in walks a chick
Joe starts playin’ on a latin kick
Around her waist she wore three fishnets
She started dancin’ with the castanets
I didn’t know just what to expect
She threw her arms around my neck
We started dancin all around the floor
Until she did a dance I never saw before
