Hay Te
Guacho Cucaracho is Mexican slang for "See you later
alligator" or "After awhile crocodile". I wrote this
song with mi amigos Ben Marines and Luis Garcia. Luis
is a young kid from Chihuahua, Chihuahua Mexico. While
helping me build my adobe casa, I asked him for help
with the lyrics, so he put the "Mexican pop" thing to
it. Now I am officially a Mexican pop star in my own
mind in Mexico!! Last year he was in Austin, Texas when
the immigration authorities "La Migra" caught up with
him and sent him back to Chihuahua. A Smile Cuesta
Nada "A Smile Cost Nothing" is a term from a Canadian
amigo Juanito who lives in San Augustinillo, Oaxaxca.
I dug it so much that I made it a song, with a Sir Douglas
kind of groove to it. Pancho Villa is a Cumbia
I wrote in 1985 in Paris, France. I always thought this
would be a cool song in Mexican discos!
In 1983, I was
stepping into the waves in Puerto Escondido, Mexico,
but at a certain spot music would pop into my head for
no reason. Banana Shout is one of the songs that
came from this "musical spot". I guess I should go back
there more! In 1989 there was this house that I really
wanted to live in out in the Texas Hill Country. I mean
I really really wanted to live there. I was stalking
this empty house in a very extreme way!! I wrote You
Could Have Been Mine about this experience. The
rest of the songs on this CD have been my favorites
through the years that I kinda wanted to update. The
65 Vox Continental played by Billy Morales is very predominant
throughout the whole CD. This CD will Tick Tock
your Problemas Away. So grab a bottle of Big
Red and get ready to Rock Esta Noche and
feel Buena!
