"Tequila" is a song by The Champs, released as a single in 1958. It appeared in the Miami Vice episode "Better Living Through Chemistry".
Notes[]
- "Tequila" only took three weeks to reach the Billboard #1 spot, unusual for any song in that era.
- The song is looked at as a classic from the "golden age" of rock and roll music, though it was The Champs' only single to make the Billboard Hot 100.
- Though it has been used frequently in TV shows, movies and commercials, most identify it with the "Pee Wee Dance" from the 1985 movie Pee Wee's Great Adventure.
