“Tequila” is a Latin-inspired surf instrumental. It was written by Chuck Rio and recorded by the American rock group The Champs. Throughout the entire tune the word “tequila” is mentioned three times otherwise it is all instrumental. It has a catchy beat and became very popular reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. For The Champs, this became their one-hit-wonder. They did try for a sequel to this song “Too Much Tequila” but never had the same impact. Perhaps, it should have been called “No More Tequila” since no one was listening. They did record 12 new tracks for an album titled Tequila Party and included a party version of “Tequila”.

A musician friend of mine has a song called “Thanks to Tequila,” and when he does it live he starts by playing the Champs’ “Tequila.”
