Tequila (song)
Encyclopedia
"Tequila" is a 1958 Latin-flavored rock and roll
song recorded by the group, the Champs
. The title of the song constitutes the entirety of the lyrics, and is spoken a total of three times during the course of the song. "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. The track would be the Champs' only hit song, relegating them to one-hit wonder
status.
's record label
, Challenge Records
, signed Dave Burgess (born 1934), a rockabilly
singer-songwriter
from California
who often recorded under the name "Dave Dupree." At the end of 1957, having produced no hits, Challenge Records
looked to Burgess, who organized a recording session on December 23 in Hollywood. In the studio that day were Burgess on rhythm guitar
, Cliff Hills on bass guitar
, the Flores Trio (Danny Flores
on saxophone
and keyboards
, Gene Alden on drums
, and lead guitarist Buddy Bruce), and Huelyn Duvall
contributing backing vocals. They gathered primarily to record "Train to Nowhere," a song by Burgess, as well as "Night Beat" and "All Night Rock."
The last song recorded was "Tequila," essentially just a jam by the Flores Trio. There were three takes, and Daniel Flores (d September 19, 2006), who wrote the song, was also the man who actually spoke the word "Tequila!". Flores also played the song's trademark "dirty sax" solo. The song served as the B-side
for "Train to Nowhere," which was released by Challenge Records
on January 15, 1958. Duvall recalls that the record initially found little success, but, after a DJ in Cleveland played the B-side, "Tequila" skyrocketed up the charts, reaching #1 on the Billboard chart on March 28, 1958.
Daniel Flores had written "Tequila," but, because he was signed to another label, the song was credited to "Chuck Rio," a name he adopted for the stage. Those present for the December 23 session began recording together again on January 20, 1958, under the name the Champs; the group technically formed after recording its most famous song. The song has been noted to have the same sound and structure of Bo Diddley
