In Montreal, back in 74, we used to dance to this song in school dances and house parties. I was 14. Great memories.

[YEUWYU]

I am mexican and I been listening to this song for years

[lonelyspade]

PRobably one of the most powerful songs of the universe. A cult song in the breakdancing community.

[therealmikebrown]

They used this song for the last round of the Break Dancing finals in the 2024 Olympics.

I remember hearing it as a kid and never heard it again until decades later. Up until now, I thought it was a song I made up in my head.❤

JENNY HAAN is AWESOME , What a VOICE.

[jamessouthworth]

Until today I didn't know the Jellybean version was a cover. This original is amazing!

[mattlarocque]

Always turned this up as a kid when it played on CHOM FM

First time I heard this song, I was 8 years old. It was playing on a speaker in front of a bodega in the Bronx. Stopped me in my tracks. I stood there dancing until it went off. Had never heard anything like it and it blew my mind. Next thing I know they started the Hip Hop jams in the park and this song played at every one of them. I learned the name of it and it became my all time favorite. I even sampled it twice….. and ALL this time…… had no idea it was a female singing lead. Fukin amazing!!!

The Mexican
Babe Ruth, Babe Ruth
He's called Fernandez
Livin' on a gun
Dreams of Santa Anna
Fighting in the sun
Drums so loud from outside
Makes it hard to dream
A rain is fallin' hard and fast
Makes it all seem real
Mornin', come mornin'
A Chico's gotta have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Said he must be there
Mornin', sad mornin'
What a laugh, and I cried
And I cry, cry, cry, cry, cried
Mornin', sad mornin'
Mexican
Senorita panning
Chico come on home
Santa Anna's losing
You'll be first to go
Sam Houston's laughing
Davy…

[verdonv]

One of the first concerts I ever saw. I saw them in Ottawa with Manfred Mann. I thought it was earlier than 1975 but it must have been the same tour as this.

[Asquared]

The classic channel on Radio Nova is why I am here.

[georgehazard]

The guitarist was the senior instructor when i went to SAE Institute. I promise you he can still shred your face off.

[francoisracine]
