The Champs- MIDNIGHTER

The Champs were a session band best known for their smash hit "Tequila". I go wild for this side because of the more raw and throaty sax sound that seems some how less 'square' than the other proto-rock/surf/boogie instrumentals I have. Maybe its because I think of "Tequila" as a limbo game song, or some kind of forced nostalgia, but the rhythm of this song takes that beach party feel a little further, especially the drums and the guitar. This will kill any dance floor, I don't care how cool the people think they are, arms and hips start swingin and feet start stompin.
