Down In Mexico

Album:The Coasters

Track:
As is the case with all Tarantino movies, there is normally a song from the soundtrack that I instantly fall in love with and listen to non-stop for several days. Who could resist listening to Stealer's Wheel after Reservoir Dogs or Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street" after watching Jackie Brown? My newest Tarantino song-crush originates from his half of the Grindhouse release, Death Proof, and comes by way of The Coasters. I knew a few songs by The Coasters beforehand...namely; "Poison Ivy", "Charlie Brown", and "Yakkety Yak"...but was unaware of their first hit, "Down In Mexico", which Quentin uses to perfection in this lap dance scene involving Vanessa Ferlito and Kurt Russell.
