The Rebel Black Dot Song of Cinco de Mayo
Potshot, "Mexico" from Pots and Shots (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: A trio of proclivities came together to select the R.B.D.S.O.T.D. Uno, 'tis Cinco de Mayo, which is not, as is commonly supposed, Mexico's independence day. Dos, Potshot is a Japanese ska band & yesterday's expressed fondness for the Land of the Rising Sun has not abated. Tres, I've still got a jones for ska & very little else. At 3:16, "Mexico" is the second-longest Potshot song in my library; the longest, "For You," is 3:17. As always with Potshot, the lyrics are in Japanese & "Engrish," meaning I can make neither heads nor tails of them.
