Songs about MEXICO!

Americans always had this romantic idea of going "south of the border where I can be free". In these days of drug wars, that's questionable, but it's still one of my favorite countries in the world and there must be lots of songs about it!

So far I have/know:

The Coasters: Down In Mexico
Manu Chao: Welcome to Tijuana
Andre Williams: I Wanna Go Back to Mexico
Bob Dylan: Romance In Durango
(for Dutch orgers: De Zangeres Zonder Naam wink)
There must be many more!

Thanx everybody! The first one by Xaviers Solis really reminds me of the mariachi music I heared back there. cowboy

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

El Segundo is a suburban community outside of LA. Yeah, the song and video are entirely misleading.

My mom was crazy about Luis Miguel when I was younger and she always played this song so I can't leave this out!
