My mom cleaned toilets for a long time, and she’d seen a lot of terrible things, but she was still the strength of our family. And there are women like that all across the country – all around the world – who show that type of fortitude.
Last week, Jim (NewEpicAuthor, A Unique Title For Me) set a theme of being in isolation (my choice). This week, theme of Mexico.
Okay, so we have a Mexican theme today. It took a bit of head-scratching but eventually it came to me. This tune was actually written by Phil Collins for his movie Buster in 1988, and became a hit for The Four Tops reaching #7 in the UK. (It was originally released as a B-side in the US, and therefore didn’t chart.) Collins also drummed on the track. Here’s Loco In Acapulco.
Going loco down in Acapulco if you stay too long Yes you’ll be going loco down in Acapulco The magic down there is so strong
Feel the pressure your back’s against the wall Love is gaining on you you’re just about to fall If you’re afraid to love afraid to take a chance You better hide your feelings get out while you can
‘Cause you’ll be going loco down in Acapulco If you stay too long Yes you’ll be going loco down in Acapulco The magic down there is so strong
You can hear voices bleeding through those warm Latin nights Memories are lost and found Leaving broken hearts all over town
‘Cause you’ll be going loco down in Acapulco If you stay too long Yes you’ll be going loco down in Acapulco The magic down there is so strong
You’ll be pulling out your hair drowning in despair With a whole lot of nothing on your way to nowhere Your search for paradise will come to an end When you realize what a fool you’ve beenYou’ll be haunted by her face Missing her warm embrace Memories of loving her Holding her tight every night Was that the best part of your life? Hearing her voice soft and low Begging you to please Please don’t go Don’t go No! Don’t go! Don’t go!
You can hear voices bleeding through those warm Latin nights Memories are lost and found Leaving broken hearts all over town, all over town
‘Cause you’ll be going loco down in Acapulco If you stay too long Yes you’ll be going loco down in Acapulco The magic down there is so strong
Going loco down in Acapulco if you stay too long Yes you’ll be going loco down in Acapulco The magic down there is so strong
Going loco down in Acapulco if you stay too long Yes you’ll be going loco down in Acapulco The magic down there is so strong
