Tequila emerged after the fall of the Franco regime, years before la Movida Madrileña days. Their music has influences from artists such as Chuck Berry and The Rolling Stones, a sound very different from the symphonic rock and urban rock groups predominant on the Spanish scene at the time. Songs like Salta!! (which was played for the first time in the well-known television show Un, dos, tres... responda otra vez), Quiero besarte, Me Vuelvo Loco, and Rock and Roll en la plaza del pueblo, catapulted the five Tequila members to stardom.

Tequila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pensaste que te ibas a escapar
seguí corriendo y no te alcancé
entonces nena, empecé a gritar...
Volvé nena nena! Volvé nena nena!
desabrochando estoy... desabrochando mi amor
de todos modos no tenías razón
de pronto veo que te levantás... y te fuiste y te fuiste sin más
Ahora estoy desesperado ya
lo que me raya es tu manera de actuar
estás muy loca pero igual me gustás
la verdad es que... no se que pensar
Volvé nena nena! Volvé nena nena!
desabrochando estoy... desabrochando mi amor
Espero que me llames para despertar
de esta pesadilla que me tiene mal
con tus histerias donde voy a parar
lo que yo quiero es, volver a empezar
Volvé nena nena! Volvé nena nena!
desabrochando estoy... desabrochando mi amor(x5)
