The Mexican (song)

The Mexican (song)

"The Mexican" is a piece of heavy rock music on the album "First Base" by the 1970s British band Babe Ruth.

The song is based on the whistling from the music soundtrack by Ennio Morricone for the film "For a Few Dollars More". It has been compiled, covered and mixed many times. "Planet Rock" by Afrika Bambaataa features an interpolation of a portion of the song. The song was covered in 1984 by Jellybean Benitez with vocals by the original singer, Janita Haan. "The Mexican" was mixed into the third track of "The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One" by Liam Howlett of The Prodigy in 1999.
