So, Jon and I just can't get this piece out of our heads. Mostly, we wind up singing along to the first couple of lines and then adding "SALT PEANUTS!" after that. We think it might be neat to punk (a.l.a. Ashton Kutcher) some jazz band competitions with this piece by running up to the judges and bobbing up and down singing the following lyrics: (every time "Mexico" is said it is pron. "Me-hi-co")
refrain:
"I, Tampico, Tampico,
on the Gulf of Mexico
Tampico, Tampico,
down in Mexico."
SALT PEANUTS!!!
Anyway, you can listen to the recordings, and tons of Stan Kenton stuff for free at: http://www.tuxjunction.net/jb32.htm. Of special note is the full MALAGA at the bottom (1972 recording).
