Mexican Radio




It remains in question what exactly the song is about; it would appear to be a David Cronenberg -esque tale of the apocalypse occurring somewhere in a small Mexican border town. The song gained notoriety (and is best remembered) for its line, "I wish I was in Tijuana , eating barbecued Iguana ." Another possibility is that the song is simply about two lost American tourists.

European metal band Celtic Frost covered the song, as did Authority Zero , who featured it on their 2004 album '' Andiamó ''. Mike Keneally , a Frank Zappa alumnus, has played the song in live concerts with his band, Beer For Dolphins .

Additionally, there is a musician named South Park Mexican who has performed a somewhat different "Mexican Radio" song.
